Ending a hectic week and a hectic workout with a set of pull-ups. Always training close to failure.

@ankushd14 Count me in for the must do run prior to reading sesh, brother! 🤙🏾

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

@ankushd14 @SahilKapoor I believe i heard this first on Joe Rogan’s podcast with Pavel Tsatsouline. Weirdly, I stopped doing the same ever since and get triggered when others do it. 😂

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

@ankushd14 Yeah for sure, brother. Whenever you’re in Bangalore, do let me know. 🤙🏾

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

@BaglaNayantara @ankushd14 Got it, and yes I have joined it.

Thank you!

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

That satisfaction when you progress to bigger numbers with better movement than before is something I crave for.

Falling in love with the snatch lift.

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

Power Cleans.

One day at a time.

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

@mutant1643 1 - Squat Snatch
2 - Kipping toes to bar.
3 - Double unders

In that order.

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

@ankushd14 Killing it!! 🔥🔥

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

Ending a crazy PR week with a new PR for squat - 150 kgs.

On to working for the next PR goals and strengthening olympic lifts after a much needed recovery week.

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

So important to leave some days aside to work on just technique especially with movements like snatches.

Refining the movement one day at a time.

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

@ankushd14 Haha thanks sir! 🙏🏽 This is miniscule compared to your Ladakh marathon, tho. 🤣

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

And the 200 barrier has finally been crossed with 210 kgs. :’)

Crazy how under the right guidance and workout programming, results come faster than expected.

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

1 good rep and 1 ugly rep.

Officially crossed the 2x bodyweight barrier for DL’s with 190 kgs. :’)

@YFJournal Yupp. That’s a major area where I am looking to improve. Still not getting hips below knees for pistol squats.

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

As one hits a plateau in lifting heavy in compound movements, improving the most intricate details in the movement makes so much difference in progressing further.

Slowly working towards the PR with 140 kgs for reps.

[Arjun Menon @MenonLad]

Jeez, such a horrible way to start the games. Sucks this happened to a seasoned athlete.

So fkn careless of the organisation despite having lifeguards on duty.

[The CrossFit Games @CrossFitGames]

Today is the saddest day in @CrossFit history. We are shattered by the loss of Lazar Đukić along with the entire CrossFit community.

Lazar was one of our sport’s most talented competitors, but he was much more than an athlete. He was a son, a brother, and a friend to practically everyone who knew him. Fiercely competitive, incurably joyful and uncommonly kind, Lazar was the sun of any room he was in. The loss of his light is inconceivable.

The first instinct is to shut down. To isolate. To mourn.

But the only cure for grief is to grieve. And the best way to grieve is together. In our community, coming together to do hard things is how we pay tribute. In this spirit, we have decided to move forward with the 2024 CrossFit Games.

This weekend is dedicated to Lazar Đukić. We will open tomorrow at 10:00 am.
