Yesterday's squats did a number on me so I didn't make it to the track and instead got some rest my body was craving. Felt stiff and sore, but very energetic today. Spent some time playing the water withe kids today...and man did it feel good! I was having flashbacks of my Summers in Southern California today. Caught the last class of the day at Prevail this evening. I was drenched by the end! Gotta love a good sweat!
Strength
BTN Snatch Grip Push Press - doubles 5:00 EMOM; heavy as possible
bar(10)-95(5)-135(5)-185(3)-225(3) --- 245 - 265 - 265 - 265 - 275 - 275
- Modified normal PP a bit to work on some stuff for Oly. I'm glad I raised it up for the last two sets...they were well earned. Good work on the shoulders tonight.
WOD
Tabata D, D, S (DUs, Ring Dips, & Sit Ups)
DUs = 40 - 35 - 26 - 34 - 30 - 27 - 30 - 35
Ring Dips = 10 - 9 - 7 - 7 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6
Sit Ups (anchored w/ 20# slam ball on my chest) =10 - 9 - 9 - 10 - 10 - 10 - 10 - 10
- This was a good little number. I was a little disappointed in the DUs. I was hoping to maintain at least a 30. On both rounds when I dropped below I had one miss, but the rope got tangled on top of the miss. I had misses in the two 30 rounds too, but the rope was easy to get started again.
Moving to the dips was interesting. I was expecting to somewhat fresh, but my shoulders were starting to fatigue fast. I used every bit of kip I could muster to get those rounds of 6.
I added the anchor and weight because I wanted a little more than just regular old sit ups. GHD is out of the question. Every time I try and add it into my training it tweaks my back just enough to let me know it's not a good movement for me. The added weight had me burning up the last 4-5 sets. The anchor allowed me to use my hip flexors similar to a GHD.
I looked like I jumped into a pool afterwards. It always feels good to be drenched in your own sweat after a workout.
Cash Out
ME DH Pull Ups x 3 - 13 - 11 - 9 (done at home earlier in the day)
GH Raises - 3 x 10
- Felt good about both of these. Numbers are going up on the pull ups and I'm feeling stronger and stronger on the GHRs. My first set of 10 was great. My last set was well earned.

Quick Game of Catch Up
The last two weeks of school have been hectic. Been pretty busy shutting down shop around the school and cleaning things up for the Summer. This is just gonna be a quick run down of what has transpired since my last post...
5.29.12
Strength
Floor Press - no 1RM on this one so I just tinkered with some weight. FPs have been causing some weird elbow twinge/pain so I'll probably be laying off of these from now on.
bar(12)-135(12)-175(10)---225(8)-245(8)-265(5)
DH Pull Ups + ME Kip (in between sets of Floor Press) --- 8+5 - 6+5 - 4+7
Back Squats ---
bar(10)-135(10)-225(10) --- Banded Squats - 225 + reds (6) - 225 + blues(6) [both were too light]
Squats w/ hanging KBs --- 3 x 5 @ 225 + 24k bell
-Pretty tight from the Stars and Stripes WOD the day before. Deload week so I was playing with some ideas for the squats. I really like banded squats so I was playing with them a bit, but we just don't have the right equipment to keep the proper tension on the bar to make it worth while. Hopefully, we can get some chains in the gym this Summer.
TGU - 3 x 3 @ 24k
5.31.12
Strength
Push Press - supposed to be deload, but my gym appearance has been sporadic so I went heavier
bar(10)-95(8)-135(5)-155(5) --- 165(5) - 175(5) - 185(5)
WOD
5 rounds of:
40 DUs (UB, 1 miss per round after that)
10 Push Press (95#) (all UB)
= 3:59
5:00 REST
2 BONUS rounds
= 11:40
- We did this one a while back, but the movements were in reverse order. I was pumped...I PR'd by :13 seconds. I was a lot calmer with the rope despite the miss each of the last 4 rounds. I was only gonna take a 4:00 minute rest at first, but something happen and I lost track of time. I had planned on doing 3 rounds, but my shoulders were burnt out. I had 6-7 misses on the rope in the second bonus round so I called it.
6.2.12
OWOD
Snatch - 8 x 2 @ 80%
bar progressions - 95(3POS. x 2) - 135(2) - 155(2) - 165(1x1) - 175(x11) ---
80%=185# (1.1 - 1.x - 1.1 - 1.1 - 1.1 - 1.x - 1.1 - 1.1)
- Two misses were out in front. I had several sloppy stand-ups in between the misses, usually on the second rep. Last set of the day felt fantastic...solid pause at the bottom, stable. Good work all together. It took me a while to remember some of the things I changed during my PR night, but once I did everything fell right into the groove.
BTN Sn. Grip PP - 4 x 3 (heaviest possible)
185 - 205 --- 225 - 235 - 245 - 255
- Next time I should start at 245 and ladder up from there.
6.4.12
Andy's Bday WOD
3:00 AMRAP KB swings (24k) (70)
3:00 REST
3:00 AMRAP Row for Cals *damper@10 (60)
3:00 REST
3:00 AMRAP 20m Prowler Push (95#) (8)
3:00 REST
3:00 AMRAP Hang Power Cleans (60k) (28)
= 166
- My wife and I WOD'd with my bro in law tonight for his birthday at his place. It's nice because he has a ton of equipment. It was tough. This WOD put me on my butt when I finished. My traps were sore for a few days afterwards. Always a good to time though WODing with family.
6.5.12
Strength
Back Squat - 5-5-5+@65-75-85%
bar(10)-135(10)-185(10)-225(8) --- 275 - 320 - 365(12)
- Squats felt solid. On the 12th rep my back started to fatigue. I felt like I was in good posture until the end, but I was told otherwise once I put the bar down. My legs felt these for a while to come. Reps felt good though. I was originally shooting for 8ish, but I POC was firing real good and my speed was about the same start to finish.
WOD
4 rounds of:
1:00 AMRAP Power Snatches (75#) [15-15-15-13]
1:00 AMRAP Box Jumps (24") [20-20-15-24]
= 137
- I got to class late and was in a rush from the beginning. I had to do the WOD on my own after everyone else finished. I didn't realize this was "Hope" practice til after the 1st round. My original plan was to just go and burn out, but after back squatting...pacing became a better option. I had some goals going in and just tried to stay with them through out.
6.6.12
OWOD
Clean & Jerk - ladder up to a heavy single
bar progressions
135(3)-185(3)-205(2)-225-235-245-255-265(x.1)-275-285
2 x 2 @ 255 (90% of 285)
- My back was pretty fatigued from the start after yesterday's back squat work and my legs were real stiff from the work as well. Felt uncomfortable in my jerk tonight. Right wrist was sliding into place and it was causing some discomfort as weight got heavier. 285 was a good stop tonight. Added some doubles of my heavy single at the end for a bit more volume.
