To all the big dawgs heading to Aromas this weekend have a wonderful experience and push hard. Know that you are as prepared as anyone out there. Lot's off workouts by the looks of things so recover well. Stay in the present moment of each rep/step/whatever. Congrats and do the job you've trained to do
Press: 125/135/145 My body is still gettinng acclimated to these early morning training sessions. The weights felt way heavilier than they should have and I I just didn't have that pop.
CTB chins were fractioned half way through. Again, this seemed tougher than it ought to have.
1 K run: Legs felt strong and I was able to sqeeze that extra juice needed at the 800M mark to go 100%.
Best of luck to everyone this weekend. Take staock and remember what it took you guys to get there and find what will get you over the top!
I know I'll be scouring the internet all weekend for updates on the competition and rooting for you guys as much as I can!
Run was a little different. I started PTing with my small group in the SF Qual course today. Did 4x 100m sprints max effort. Followed by three stair lunge efforts up a stadium of stairs.
I'll be following OPT programming as much as possible, when possible for the next four months. However, because of my circumstances, I won't be involved with it as much as I was before this week.
I wish I was with all of you Big Dawgs at the games. Make us proud. Good luck!
155x3, 165x2, 175. CTBPU first set shitty bar had to get down and then did last 3 it was tearing my hand apart. Switched to rubber grips and rest unbroken.
as with the Run refer to Rory's comment. i wont eleborate but i am in Rory's situation so we are going to do the best we can. Good Luck everyone from OPT.
Press- 117x3; 125x2; 137x1 CtoB- 3 sets of 10 - did the most I thought I could w/o fractioning. These are improving, though - mostly a ROM deficit. Run- felt good. Joint mobility - full session, elbow, hip, and thoracic focus. PWO- 25p/25c whey, rhubarb, cantaloupe.
Good luck everyone at the games kick some butt and make us Canadians proud!!
85(3) 90(2) 95(1)PR wasn't sure about when i was supposed to rest the 120 secs but did it between each set??
C2Bs 15 10/5 10/5 i just can't get the dang momentum of the butterfly i need some serious help with that i feel about as uncoordinated as i do when i try to two step with my husband - yikes!!!!
1km kind of had to guess on my distances and speeds but ran in my Newtons - AWESOME!!! Thanks to whoever posted that about them - i went straight to Gords and bought some!
