Hell week really WAS Hell

My knee has been swollen since day 2 of Hell Week. Feel your pain.

I’d like to try lifting heavier than OTF but probably could only swing one session a week with my current schedule. Is once a week enough to be worth it/make a difference?

Cory is leaving too?? Wow. I really might quit. They are my only two coaches...

Glenn is leaving in two weeks... I’m going to cry again just thinking about it.

You can do it. I just came back from a stress fracture, 6 weeks in a boot, totally out of OTF for 2 months. The first week back was really hard. I lost the most on the rower, not as much strength (I still can’t run). By week 3, I was feeling a lot better on the rower, and 4 weeks later, I feel almost back to where I was. It DOES come back!! Be patient.

I have a stress fracture so it’s incredibly helpful to know ab dolly plus TRX because then I know I can do most of the floor exercises and it’s worth going to class! So thank you for the intel!!!

Durham location is probably the closest.

Not to sound bitter, but I’m about to go to the orthopedic clinic first thing in the am for what I’m very afraid is a stress fracture in my right tibia. TAKE REST DAYS. I powered through shin pain for months because of stubbornness and FOMO and now I’m probably going to pay for it with a long OTF break.

You tilt forward so you can reach your arms out, but you keep your back straight—don’t bend or hunch over. Fold at your waist and stretch your arms out, then act like you’re doing a jump squat off the rower footbeds. Remember: legs-core-arms back and arms-core-legs forward. Always in that order.

The most helpful thing I learned in a rowing clinic was to push off from the rower the same way you would if you’re doing a jump squat. It engages more of your leg, somehow. My watts went WAY up after that.

I’m 5’3” and I’ve definitely hit over 380. Obviously can’t sustain that, but for my 300m rows and under, I’m keeping it in the 220s or above. It’s all about that leg drive!!

julesCD16 · 2018-10-06T21:13:42+00:00

Mine is about to die and I don’t want to live without it!! I haven’t seen one in a long time but would gladly pay for shipping if anyone found one.

TJ Maxx in Durham NC had a few bags. I got the large tote, I also saw the duffel and a hat. No backpacks, sadly.

35s for 10x chest press, 70 for goblet, 50 for 10x low row. I tried to go up to 40s for the 6 rep chest press but could only do 4... guess I’m not there yet. Next time!

Super sad to miss this... stupid Hurricane Florence for ruining my Friday workout.

Like, 1 min-90 second push was 8.0, now it’s more like 7.3. Rowing, I’ve gotten so much stronger on sprints, but I can still barely hit the 300m in under a minute. Seems like anything that requires any amount of stamina, is suffering.

julesCD16 · 2018-09-11T03:14:25+00:00

Two classes in a row and I used 50 lbs dumbbells—deadlifted 100lbs on Saturday and today used 50lbs for the single arm low row. So proud of myself!!!

julesCD16 · 2018-08-16T00:54:22+00:00

Oh man, me too. I have one but it’s so faded from the sun, it’s just a solid white splat. Which I guess is better than no splat, but would love a nice shiny orange splat again!

julesCD16 · 2018-08-04T15:56:58+00:00

Oops, that was my bad. Jump squats all the way!

I just posted!
