C. 10:40
Felt super gassed today.. The gym is really hot and my recovery was crappy.. But the good news is my old 1rm squat snatch was 80lbs and I did 90 5x today solid! And even though we don't do squat snatches often my technique was solid and better than its ever been. So sweet!

8:13
C. 17:12
Missed 3 long sets at 26, 28 and 18. Was happy I got through all 10 sets!

Notes:
Had to do PSn. because my knee. HSPU felt alright, about 1/4 were kipping. Not really happy with DU, no misses, but should have rested shorter.
B. 9:30
ReplyDeleteC. 11:53
Skipped A because me and wife are trying to get to workout together more often, and we are trying to do that in a more general, unmeasurable and "GPP" fashion - just having fun together. Instead we did this http://vimeo.com/14140824
5 rounds of
80kg squat C&J, 10m overhead walk
80kg squat C&J, 10m overhead walk
5,5 meter rope climb
Pretty fun! The overhead walks TOTALLY smoked my shoulders though - which made me wonder if I could even finish B... Turned out I could, but should make that in half that time I think.
C. was all unbroken sets, but I doubt both my DU ability over 20 UB and my still twisted ankle. Happy to make it though, DU are not at all the huge goat it used to be for me.
Have not had a chance to get to the gym for a week due to schooling and exams. Did get some backyard wods in though.
ReplyDeleteTuesday's wod
Power cleans: 115, 125 135, 140(Fail), 140 (did all 5 reps, but last two were very ugly, 135,135
Russian KBS: 1.5 pood
Bench press 11, 8, 7, 6, 5, 5, 5
Felt great to get back at it. I think my body was going through withdrawal.
by the way - a year ago or so I read this post by Coach http://optimumperformancetraining.blogspot.com/2008/03/happiness-shared.html, and it is so very spot on. Sharing this is amazing.
ReplyDeleteWOD 1 of this weekends competition done:

Great job Arilyn.
A: 165lb across, failed twice in last set from fatigue (affecting form)
ReplyDeleteB: 13:41, all completed sets strict and unbroken. Did sets 1-4 in first minute, 5-7 with a minute rest between, and 8-10 approx. 1:30 rest. Got greedy on the last set and ended up failing at rep 6; rested 1:45 and completed 10 unbroken.
C: ran out of time and couldn't complete.
Been sick for a few days, so not 100% but not awful
ReplyDeleteA:105,115,125,130,135

C. Subbed 3 min amrap burpees to 12 inch target: 45

A: 135, 145, 155, 175, 190
ReplyDeleteB: 6:12
C: 11:25
Pretty exited about Squat Snatch. They felt really strong.
DU were horrible. I got stuck at the 8 set for at least 4 mins. kept getting tripped up right before I would hit 30. DU are not one of my strong points.

B. 14:22
C. -
Snatches were not good at all. Could not get focused. Did pick up on one thing to work on towards the end though. HSPUs were ok. Started well and was UB to set of 8 then really struggled. Could not even attempt the DUs. Calves and shins totally seized up. Going to need to spend some time on them tonight and tomorrow.
A. 85, 95, 100, 105, 115
ReplyDeleteB. did as many reps as possible in 20min; only 45 reps, really upset with how weak my HSPUs are, recommendation on how to get these STRONGER?!??!
C. 15ish minutes

ReplyDeleteB. 11:47 unbr 1-5, kipped most of 9&10
C. scaled to 10 sets of 20. Finished 8 sets in about 9:30 when I rolled my ankle. Pretty stiff from pistols and BJs still so shut it down.
Sq. snatch felt great as did HSPU. DUs improving slowly still...
Brandon
@brian cilento - saw your comment late thursday...I used imapmyrun on my phone and when I got home and looked at the route on the computer it showed me cutting across houses and streets where I didn't. I suspect it is the problem with GPS based things on phones. I guess I need to find a track that I won't get kicked out of.
A. 115, 125, 135, 140, 145(4) lbs
ReplyDeleteB. 9:51
C. 9:12
Notes:
About 5-10 sec b/t snatch reps to ensure quality. These felt pretty good today, the snatch is my favorite lift!
Hspu unbroken and strict with wide hands and wide feet. Was falling away ever so slightly from the wall on the very last rep of set 10, but counted it. Also got an epic quad cramp. All in all though, was very happy/surprised with my results in this part.
Du's were okay, but not as sharp as usual because I haven't been giving them much attention lately (read: laziness). Had to restart the the first set twice but after that found the groove.
A:95,100,105,110X2
ReplyDeleteB: 9:49
C: 2:47 5 for 5 unbroken sets.
Done @ 1pm and the gym was close to 100 degrees inside. Snatches felt good, paid a lot of attention to the first pull and maintaining back angle, pushing knees back. Sweat was pouring on the last set so keeping the grip was a major challenge and resulted in staying with 110# versus going up.
HSPU Ladder was nasty. Rounds 1-5 naturally were quick but beyond that things slowed to a crawl.
Dbl Unders. Super happy with these today. 5 straight unbroken sets. Shoulders and foreams were sizzling. I had 2-3 more sets in me.
I'm having all of my Coaches over tonight for a Coaches appreciation mexican fiesta. Loaded enchiladas, Margaritas and 5 different Mexican beers. Please James, no met-con tomorrow. Ole!
Was it me or didn't the post say 5 sets of 30 dbl unders last night when it first went up?
ReplyDeleteIf not my error, I did 5 sets of 30 unbroken.
I owe you all 5 more sets.
A) 45-50-55-60-67
ReplyDeleteB) 10:04
C) 8:14
A) First time snatching since May, from shoulder tweak. Wasn't bad, felt stable
B) Wasn't an awesome performance, things broke down at 5, resulting in the inevitable longer rests and broken sets with kips. In retrospect, i considered that perhaps i should have put more emphasis on resting in order to get completely unbroken sets, which I'd guess would have put my time over 16 minutes.
C) Did first two sets together, unbroken. Took more out of me that i'd anticipated. After that, tried for between 20-35 seconds of rest in between each set. missed set 6 on # 26, said a curse word, and went back into it after another 25 seconds.
I think it went well.
A: 95, 100, 105, 115, 125
ReplyDeleteB: 10:27
first time completing ladder ub as rx'd. major accomplishment.

A: 95#,95#,105#,125#,135#
B: 6:35
C:15:01
A:Kept Snatch light and worked on form. 135 went up well and felt like the lighter reps paid off.
B:HSPU's were unbroken for 9 and 10. I then broke up reps and completed as needed to accomplish task.
C: Double Unders went well until 4-5 set. I broke twice at rep 29 which was awesome. Set 7 I failed at 15. Need to keep practicing as a warmup to maintain consistnecy.
Not a great day of training.
Could only do Part B because of partially torn right calf from the box jumps. Hoping it will recover quickly and get me back into the fight.

Snatch: 95# - 125# - 155# - 175# - 185#
ReplyDeleteHSPU Ladder - 9:33
Double Unders - 4:25
Had a rough car accident yesterday so wasn't sure how my shoulder would hold up but it felt ok (explains the relatively light start on the snatches).
High volume hspu's are never good to me. Got 1-5 in :40 and the 2nd half took all of 9 mins. Good times
Double unders were unbroken til the 10th set where i missed one about halfway thru then got it next attempt. Could've been low 4s
Forgo to add I did "Kelly" or 5 rounds of 400m run + 30 box jumps (24") + 30 wall ball (20#) this morning at my box 5 hours earlier. Time was 19:30 and all movements unbroken

ReplyDeleteB) 9:40
C) 18:40* cheated. counted all the ones in the 25-30 range (in the last 5 rounds). Didn't want to make this part a long effort. Knew I was gonna take a long ass time.
A. 75#, 80, 85, 90, 95. (All 5 reps done within 30 seconds. Worked on perfect technique. When I arch my lower spine, I am experiencing pain on the spinal area where the lumbar section hits the sacrum. This began after the squat clean/mu wod).

Got tired and sloppy at 64kg on A. For B got through 1-7 unbroken, then only got 4/8 on 8 so had to rest a few and try again. Hit complete muscle failure on the set of 10 so had to break it 8+2. DUs were atrocious, got gassed in a hurry. Was through 5 rds in about 5 minutes then started to miss a lot and take longer breaks.

Florida heat was brutal doing this. Didn't warm up well obviously b/c my lower legs hurt for 3 days. Ran in VFF's

HSPU: 5:00
DU's: 17:50
Felt very strong on the snatches and not too bad on the HSPU. I can definitely see improvements with overhead shoulder strength since working with the Big Dawgs. My DU's....well...as you can see they are my absolute nemesis!
