I couldn’t get under the weight on the last three, but I know I can do that much. My wrists were getting a little sore and I think I got it in my head that I wouldn’t be able to do it so I’ll get it next time.
Still, I hadn’t done a thruster with more than 65 lbs before, and in looking back at past WOD I have never pressed more than 90 lbs overhead, so all in all I’m satisfied with my progress.

Did CFWUx3
Strained muscle at the side of my back has been bothering me all weekend. I was unsure how it would affect attempting the WOD: Thrusters 1-1-1-1-1-1-1
I just tried the empty bar first and managed that. Went to 65lbs. and felt pain. Did 75lbs. and 85lbs. and knew I could go no further. It was painful pushing the weight overhead. I have had this same injury a couple of times. The good news is that it has healed quickly in the past. I think it happens whenever I do heavy lifts off the floor and try to pull the weight with my arms instead of letting my legs do the work. I am learning.
I did 45 squats and 45×45lb. bench press. Then ran 1 mile on treadmill.
No Marathon for me Danny, but I wouldn’t mind doing one of those Duathalons with you!! : )
After I learn how to ride a bike of course!
