Today’s WOD hurt! I think I’m serious hampered by my carpel tunnel. I just can’t hold my arms straight it seems. At 75#, my arms bent on the snatch and on the overhead squat. It fucking sucks. I guess I need to do a ton of snatch balance and press in the bottom position. Anyway, keep on plugin away at it. I’m sure once I get really mobile, the strength will come quickly!
