  10. Unit.... tire LIFT???? I was thinking some sort of tire jump burpees. Looks like I could probably burpee right in the middle of that thing.

    *Practiced tall cleans
    *Deadlift at 225... practiced driving through heels
    *Wall Ball... tried to catch low, but ball kept crashing on me. Accuracy was mostly right on.
    *Muscle-ups... practiced "true" grip
    *Toe to bar... did more than 2x10 because I really wanted to kip all sets... PNF on hammies helped a lot for second set
    *Practiced pistols
    *Trap 3 raise 2x8 @ 12# and 15# (weak)

  11. Holy Crap those look big and very heavy!!!

    hey big favor could someone at OPT or anyone that has your rings suspended from the ceiling take a picture for me and email it to me. My husband is going to hang them for me but I wasn't sure of the best way to do it. thanks

    WB: much better, maybe not all made it to proper height--that's the most I have done in a row yet--thanks Rob, no wonder they are so hard if I only use 1/2 the muscle power!
    MU: best I've done for awhile, got a few fairly strict ones. Some days they just seem easier.

  30. Deadlift 185#- felt good and quick today.  

    Wall balls - all straight. 

    Muscle up practice - 2 sets of 5 with a bit of rest between. Practicing pulling my hands in tight for the transition. 

    T2B - 2 sets straight, felt really good today.  Need to work on the Kip though to increase the turnover rate. 

    ReplyDelete
  31. Deadlift: 225; focused on keeping everything tight

    Wall balls: Straight sets; A little winded after the 3rd

    Muscle Ups: Practiced doing multiple muscle ups without stopping my kip. Felt pretty good. Need to be able to tie more together before I have to come off the rings.

    Toes to Bar: Straight sets

    I missed yesterday so I did the 3 rounds of double unders and burpees.

    3:52

    I messed up a couple times on double unders each round and the burpees definitely got progressively slower.

  34. 091110
    Dead Lift - 55% 1RM (225lbs); 6 sets of 2; rest 20 sec... felt like I was raising my butt a little fast and not getting a good push off the ground, but I couldn't tell... power cleaned the weight after I was done. That's probably a good sign...

    Wall Balls - 20# to 10 ft - 15 reps; 30 sec rest x 3... no problem

    Muscle Up practice (3-5 min)... sets of 2-3... Shane helped me with a wrist-technique so that I could progress from one straight into the next without having to regrip.

    Toes to Bar - 2 sets of 10... sets of 10 was about right.

    ReplyDelete
  35. DL: 55%=165. Felt light...as it should.
    WB: unbroken, felt good.
    MU's: easy pace, 12 in 4 min. I really need to mount the rings from a ceiling joist through the loft ladder opening. Hanging the rings from the pullup bar forcing bent knees and doing the wiggle/half kip really sucks.
    T2B: felt good.

    ReplyDelete
  36. DL 210#- felt good.
    Wallball- rx'd
    Muscle up work felt fine. Got singles down just can't hang and do multiples.
    T2B- fine

    ReplyDelete
  37. DeadLift: went at 275 (57.5% of 480) instead of 265 (55% of 480) because I don't have the plates to make up 265. Felt good and fast.

    WallBalls: Need to be a little farther from the wall. All unbroken w/ an occasional mistimed catch/squat.

    MuscleUps: I can't string two together for the life of me. I have to come off the rings and reset my false grip. Worked on keeping my grip directly in line with my center of mass and the straps. Worked on getting into the dip position and lowering back into the false grip.

    Toes2Bar: All quick and unbroken.

    PWO: 30gP (MRM shake), 10gC (mashed yams w/ cinnamon)

    DL 220# (went 14# lighter than 55%)
    WBs as Rx'd
    MUs; did ring holds. MUs would not have been smart. Got progressively more comfortable. Maybe the L shoulder is starting to come around...
    T2B as Rx'd

    ReplyDelete
  41. Deadlift 285# x6 Felt really light. Xplode on concentric.

    Wall Balls: Worked on eye positioning. Felt fine. Wish they made a 25 or 30# med ball to practice with.

    Muscle Ups worked on making kip more efficent.

    Toes-Bar: Need to work on these. I kipped all 10 unbroken but could not get 20 thats for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Dl's with 200 and felt good. No back pain.
    Wall balls, chucked it really high. Interesting timing with 30 seconds rest. Found it took 30 seconds to complete each round.
    Knees to elbows, then went home and setup my rings in my garage. Needs work, needless to say.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Deadlift - 255#
    Wall Balls - New garage target very small. Found these hard tonight.
    MU - Felt okay
    T2B - 45 sec rest b/t sets. Both sets straight through

  44. 38/6'2"/198"

    DL: 245# (445# PR)
    WB: Unb
    MU: Worked on some static MU's
    T2B: Unb

    T2B were incredibly slow but unbroken. Slight swing at bottom adds about 2 seconds for each one.
