Tuesday October 6, 2015

Monday October 5, 2015

Got a little lazy with updating.  Going to try and get back on it.

Still keeping the volume low, trying to ease back in.

Did this about 3 years ago at my first comp which was an in house comp. Pretty sure I got somewhere in the 50s. 

played it a lot smarter this time.  stuck to 12 a round max except for the last round where I emptied the tank and got 16.  In the 90s is there, definitely could have snuck in a couple extra thrusters in a few rounds.

Started by working on some tall box jumps

Got 1 at 30inch box plus 4 of the red 45 lb bumpers.  Got my feet on 4 reds and a yellow 25 but couldnt stand it up.  2 weeks ago I couldnt get 3 red bumpers so I think all the lower body work is paying off.

Wednesday March 25, 2015

Messed something up in my shoulder while warming up for 15.4, so I was wasn't able to get it in.  Still not feeling great so I think my open is over.  Going to lay off the shoulder for a few weeks and just do a squat program and whatever I can get in without taxing the shoulder.

Started the smolov jr 3 week squat program today

6x6 @ 250

I can already tell this won't be much fun.

Tuesday March 17, 2015

Felt like snatching today but my knees and shoulders were a little sore from yesterday so I just power snatched.

Worked up to a heavy power snatch

Friday February 20, 2015

A) very quickly worked up to a heavy power snatch

was able to just take 4 snatches and hit 205 (135,165,185,205).  Felt good about being able to make big jumps and hit one at 205

B) open 13.1

17 minute amrap
40 burpees
30 snatches 75lbs
30 burpees
30 snatches 135
20 burpees
30 snatches 165lbs
10 burpees
amrap 210lb snatches

170 reps (20 snatches @ 165)- did jumping burpees to 6 inch target

mixed feelings about this one.  Feel ok about the number and it is way more than I did in 2013.  Feel like I made a strategic mistake somewhere in the workout.  I felt way to good at the 165 snatches but was shocked at how little time I had left.  Either should have pushed the burpees harder or the 135lb snatches, maybe both.

Pretty sure my pelvis may be broken in 47 places, I definitely need to work on not slamming the bar so hard into myself.

Went in today just to mess around a little

Didn't do a metcon today, just wanted to get moving a little.  Spent a few minutes working on handstand walks and trying to get a freestanding handstand pushup.  It is getting closer, just cant quite get myself to not flop over on the way down.

snatched a lot this week.  gave 230 one shot, got a good pull but it didn't go.  Snatch felt really good today, but my body didn't.

B) quickly work up to a heavyish clean and jerk

Wanted to give my knee and quad a little break so I did power clean and jerk.

quickly got up to 255 and stopped there

C)

256 reps--- 48 reps into the round of 18

really pumped about this one.  took me two attempts to get 182 last year and it was a complete struggle. Everything about this workout improved for me.  The ohs, the c2b, and my gas all improved greatly. 

did the ohs unbroken until the 2nd round of 16.  did the chest 2 bar in 2 sets the whole way, except for the rd of 18...I did 6/6/6 there.






Wednesday, January 28, 2015

Wednesday January 28, 2015

A) clean pulls 5-4-3-2-1

225,255,285,305,325

cut it way short at 245.  my right quad as been bothering me lately and I wasn't feeling right today.

C) EMOM for 12 minutes 3 power snatches.  Build as you go

3 minutes at 135
3 minutes at 155
4 minutes at 165
1 minute at 175
1 minutes at 185

20 strict handstand pushups
20 front squats at 225
20 box jumps 30 inch

2 rounds + 23 reps

strict hspu felt pretty good today.  Did some crossover symmetry right before and I think it was a huge help.  The front squats were tough as usual.  Should have pushed the 1st round of them a little harder, was too cautious. 

Friday, January 23, 2015

Friday January 23, 2015

Had good energy today but didn't feel super strong. 

A) Take 15 minutes to work up to a heavy snatch

220.

Missed 230 twice but had good pulls on both on them, just couldnt connect

B) Take 10-12 minutes to work up to heavy-ish clean and jerk

275

suprisingly the clean felt really difficult today and the jerk felt light.

Tuesday, January 20, 2015

Tuesday January 20, 2015

A.
Three sets, not for time, of:
Wall Climbs x 5 reps
Muscle-Ups x 10 reps
Toes to Bar x 15 reps

I am able to do 10 muscle ups unbroken easier than I use to, happy about that


B. In 15-20 minutes, build to a heavy Jerk - with 5 of the attempts within 75-90% of your 1-RM.
 
250,260,270,280,290pr
 
Didn't feel that great working up, but was still able to pr.  300 isn't far off.  The split jerk has come a long way for me recently.  It's all about staying back on my heels. 
 
 
 
C.
 
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
Man-Makers x 5 reps (55 lbs.)
Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups x 10 reps
Kettlebell Swing x 15 reps (32 kg) lets get more then 4 here
 
4 rounds + 25 reps
 
everything unbroken
 
 
5 reps away from 5 rounds which equates to about 10-15 seconds.  I gotta think I wasted 10-15 seconds throughout the workout.  Have to get those reps in the open.

Friday January 16, 2015

My back has been absolutely smoked all week, so I was 50/50 on whether I was going to do this today. Decided to go at it around 85% and back off and shut it down if my back wasn't having it.

Open workout 13.2

10 minute amrap

5 pushpress 115
10 deadlifts 115
15 box jumps

Was at 8 rounds at 9 minutes and shut it down.  Stayed on the minute for the first 5 rounds and then backed off because my back was really feeling it.  After the 8th round I knew I was in trouble if I went on, so I shut it down. This has been consistently one of my worst all time workouts.  I took some positives out of today. 1. If my back is loose and with me, I can keep a much higher pace on this workout then I use to be able to .  2.  My boxes jumps have gotten better.  I think the last 3 times I did this one I was doing step ups by round 3 or 4.  Today I did all boxes jumps even with a really jacked back.

A) Work up to tough double touch and go power clean

quickly worked up to 245. 

back and legs were tight, didn't go nuts.

B) 2011 open workout 11.5

20 minutes
5 cleans 145
10 toes to bar
15 wallballs 20lbs

12 rounds + 17 reps

unbroken on the wallballs and cleans the whole way.  Broke the t2b up 6/4 from the start with no rest just a quick shake out and back up.  Only limiter here was breaking up the t2b, it just took longer.  Gas felt good.  Improving on this workout is just a matter of getting better at toes 2 bar.

Wednesday, January 7, 2015

Wednesday January 7, 2015

A) Work up to heavy split Jerk.

285 pr.

285 went up easy and I was real pumped.  Went for 295 and not even sure how I missed it.  It flew up and I was under but I think I was almost so surprised that I just didnt quite lock it out.  Tried 300 right after that and it was surprisingly close.  Got the bar up high enough to make it, just hesitated to get through it.  Overall increadibly happy with all the attempts, a few weeks ago, coming of the shoulder issue, I was struggling with 265.

tough workout.  s2o was a struggle as expected.  They are getting better, but are still a weakness for me.  I wasted way too much time on transitions throughout the whole workout, between writing my times down and double checking the workout, it added up quickly.  The squat cleans felt heavy today.  I snatched the g2o the whole way even though I knew it was much much slower....I have done this a couple times recently because I think training wise it is better for me to get in the snatches in a metcon at a moderate weight.  If it were a competition, I would have gone clean and jerk.  All the c2b and pull ups were unbroken, so I felt good about that.  Overall, I feel like I played it too safe on all the parts because I was afraid of redlining too early but never got close enough to redline and didn't do my best.

195,195,200,200,205,205,210,210,215,215,220,220F,220F, 205, 215

Felt great snatching today.  bar was flying up.  Only snatch I wasn't happy with was the first miss at 220, cut it a little short.  The other miss at 220 was a good snatch just didn't sit it down.

C)

30 minute cap
3 rounds
20 thrusters at 135
20 muscle ups
20 burpees

28:27

Just happy to finish this one.  60 muscles ups is definitely the most I have done in one metcon.  Did small sets the whole way on the thrusters and muscle ups.  Still fighting a sinus infection and the breathing got me again.  Could def take a couple minutes off this.

Friday January 2, 2015

Felt strong today but have a serious head cold and had a real hard time breathing. 

A). 10 minutes of hip and rolling pistol mobility.

done.  The rolling pistols are tricky

B) 10 minutes freestanding handstand walk

getting pretty comfortable with the handstand walks

C)  Clean doubles off the blocks

Got a double at 275.  Just missed the 2nd at 285, should have made it.  Then made a single a 295.

Went for 305, which would have been a clean pr in general, but missed.  Had a nice pull but let it crash on me a little too much

D) Open workout 12.5

7 minutes
3 thrusters 100lbs
3 c2b
6
6
9

.........


Got 123 reps, 2 shy of the round of 21.  Thrusters and C2b both felt good but I could not breath.  Have a real bad head cold and I could not get a good breath and started to panic a little late in the workout.  I am positive I can get at least mid to high 130s
