I’ll keep trying to post cool videos. Looking forward to the new bars so that we can do some more olympic lifting! Maryse sorry about the early exit, my fault! I think Tammy edged you out today? That’s the breaks with working out early in the morning and having nothing to shoot for.

Hi All!
Jen awesome time!
I also did the workout today and I know some of you mentioned numb fingers and numb shoulders. I suffered from a numb shoulder on round four that made round five very difficult – if you had the same, it’s most likely caused by a pinched nerve in the shoulder (similar to when you fall asleep on your arm.) The problem is that the weight is overhead with a constant pressure that pinches the nerve, this also cuts off the blood flow to the deltoid and fingers causing the numb sensation. The best fix is to keep the active shoulder position during the lift. (pushing your shoulders towards your ears – with your arms up – try shrugging your shoulders up) this is called active shoulder – we use it on all the overhead lifts for stabilization – guess I didn’t shrug enough:)
