  1. OHS: 65# (Zumba J, I appreciated your words of wisdom about getting out of my head. Definitely hate OHS, so I needed that push)
    WOD: 5 rounds + almost finished the next round of lunges.
    Row: DNF
    I need some advice from the Naptown community… does anyone have any ideas about what to do to make a strained stomach muscle feel better? It’s one that runs vertically about an inch to the right of my bellybutton. I’ve been stretching it and trying to rest it. Anyone have any good ideas? Or know of any good stomach muscle stretches?

  2. OHS – 95(3 sets),105(3 sets),115 – kept it between 50-65% of 1rm BS
    wod – 5 rounds, 1:51.7 row – I was able to hold a 1:45 for the first 200m, my rowing is finally getting back on track 🙂
    90sec total of ring chin holds – with false grip
    30 tire flips – 9:36

  3. I love it Jamie:) So glad to have you as a part of our community and can’t wait to see you achieve all of your goals!!

  4. 68# OHS and managed to pull a muscle in my neck- ouch! Feels like a crick- annoying.
    4 rounds, 2:08 row. First time I kept all pulls under 2:15! makes up for me being a super slow lunger.

  5. Thanks for the shout outs, Jena and Anna!!!
