RN WOD 120528

Very low on energy and feeling weak. Mostly due to a long holiday weekend of drinking and bad eating habits. Ankle was swollen again from a strain while in the pool.

2-3-4-5
Power Cleans at 185#
C2B pull ups
     Untimed, medium pace


4 Rounds
3 Muscle Ups
10 GHD Situps
     Untimed, roughly 45-60sec rest between each movement

RN WOD 120526

3 Rounds
7 Hang Cleans @ 155#
14 K2E
21 Burpees
       9:40


K2E were a little off, right at the bottom of the elbow. Next time will focues on top/middle of elbow. Haven't done these in a while, usually T2B. All cleans unbroken, entire wod done hungover. 

RN WOD 120525

10min AMRAP

6 Squat Snatch @ 115#
12 Pullups
24 DU
        3 rds + 6 snatch + 12 pullups + 7 DU

Liked this one, first round done in just over a minute, slowed down to keep pace w/ everyone else. Only training at 50% capacity for ankle, hence the rest days. Nutrition has been a tad off, so energy has been low. 


Strength


Squat
     155x5 - 205x5 - 255x3 - 255x3 - 255x3

BB Gymnastics
1) 10 minutes to work up to a heavy but not maximal Power Clean & Power (Push) Jerk.

Rest days

Taking Wednesday and Thursday off this week. Doing the regular programing with such a long wod at RN took it's toll. Lats, biceps, and back are all seriously worked. Will be back at it on friday.

Stepping away from the sugar detox. I lost approx 2lbs, but lost more strength/endurance than anything. Between clients and workouts, I need a lot more calories.

WOD 120515:

BB Gymnastics
5X2 Clean & Jerk @ 80% – rest 60-80 sec.
     185 x 185 x 185 x 185 x 185

15 minutes to establish a 3RM Back Squat.
     205 x 225 x 245 x 275 x 280F on 3rd rep

Conditioning

EXTRA RN WOD

5 Rounds
Run 400m
20 Pullups
10 HSPU
10 Pistols, alternating

Very happy w/ the time considering it was after working all the same things earlier in the afternoon. All HSPU unbroken (a first), last round of pullups was broken up because of an "almost" tear on my hands.

OFF DAYS

Taking Monday and Tuesday off this week. Tried to workout Monday but mentally wasn't there. Once I started missing snatches at 135# as part of the warm up, I threw in the towel. Two days of rest won't be the worst thing for me.

Training Schedule for the rest of the week:
     Wed: Outlaw
     Thur: Row 1k, rest 90 seconds, row 500m, rest 45 seconds, row 250m
     Fri: Rest
     Sat: Battle Buddy

35 Front Squats @ 95#
25 Pull Ups
15 Shoulder to OH @ 95#
35 OHS @ 65#

Legs and shoulders were toast from yesterday. Very happy w/ the time given  that.

WOD 120504:

BB Gymnastics/Conditioning

*This should be performed as one continuous effort. MAKE SURE to read the notes below.

1) 4X2 T&G Snatch (any style) @ 80% – rest 40 sec.
     140 x 140 x 140 x 140
2) 50 Double-Unders – rest 20 sec.
3) 1 Snatch @ 90% – rest 20 sec.
     160
4) 50 Double-Unders – rest 20 sec.
5) 1 Snatch @ 95%
     165F x 165F x 165F

Notes: 40 seconds rest should be taken after the final set of snatches @ 80% and before the first set of double-unders. It is not necessary to time the double-unders, but there should be no extra rest. 3 attempts may be taken at both the 90 & 95% snatch singles, but all 3 attempts should be kept to under 60 seconds.

Strength

1a) 4X5 1&1/4 Front Squats – heaviest possible, rest 45 sec.
     155 x 155 x 155 x 155
 1b) 4X3 Muscle-Ups, rest 45 sec.

Sets 2-4 were regular front squats

Conditioning (pain threshold)

Run 200m
9 UB Hang Squat Cleans @ 155/105#
6 Push Jerks @ 155/105#

WOD 120502:


BB Gymnastics

10 minutes to establish a 1RM Snatch from blocks (just below the knee).
     115 x 135 x 145 x 150 x 160F x 160F 

Notes: Take no more than 5 attempts. Warm up quickly as well. This entire event should take no more than 15 minutes.

Caught 160 both times, but balance was off and had to drop it. Going off the blocks was new and a little tricky

Strength

1a) 3 X ME Bench Press @ 85% – rest 60 sec.
     6 x 5 x 4  @ 190#
1b) 3 X 8 Single Arm DB Bent Over Row (8l/8r) – heaviest possible, rest 60 sec.
     55# x 60# x 60#

Conditioning

For total time:

3 rounds of-
20  10 Pistols (alternating)
3  1 Rope Climbs 15′
*then

50 25 T2B
*then

3 2 rounds of-
20 Wall Balls 20
 5 Power Cleans 225#   185#


     12:34
HATE scaling, but with ankle still sprained from last week, I was surprised I could still pull off pistols and rope climbs at all. Pistols were interesting after all the squat focused movements over the past few days. Had to cut the last couplet short due to time constraints. 



Was first day of 21 day sugar detox. Was grouchy as all hell this morning with no fruit w/ breakfast. Lunch and workout made it a LOT better and energy was still high at night. In no way do I enjoy shoveling massive amounts of veggies down my throat (not because of taste, but sheer volume), so I need to replan my meals and find a denser carb source.

WOD 120501



BB Gymnastics

1) 5X3 Clean & Jerk @ 70% – rest 45 sec.
     165 x 165 x 165 x 165 x 165
2) 4X3 Snatch Balance (NO heaving) – rest 60 sec.
     145 F on 2 reps x 125 F on 1 rep x 125 x 135

Jumped straight from C&J into SB, should of done a few reps to get a feel for it and would of had less failed reps

Strength

1a) 3X5 Tempo Deadlifts – heavy, rest 60 sec.
     185 x 185 x 185

Notes: Tempo should be 3 counts from floor to knees, explode past knees driving hips to bar, 3 counts back to floor. Concentrate on keeping legs loaded NOT back. Maintain vertical shin.

1b) 3X3 Strict Pullups + ME Kipping Pullups – rest 60 sec.
      12 x 6 x 7

Notes: This should be one unbroken set of 3 strict PU then, without dropping off the bar, a max effort set of Kipping pullups.


Deadlifts were fine, can increase by 5# next time this comes up. Hands/calluses were killing me, could of knocked out a few more reps if I wasn't worried about tearing.

Conditioning

3 rounds for total reps of:

2 minute AMRAP of:

30 OHS @ 65/45#
60 Double-Unders

Rest 2 minutes after each round.
     Round 1: 30 OHS + 53 DU
     Round 2: 30 OHS + 47 DU
     Round 3: 30 OHS + 12 DU


Legs tender from yesterdays squats. 

WOD 120430


BB Gymnastics

1) 5X3 Snatch @ 75% – rest 45 sec.
     140- F on 3rd x 135 - F on 3rd x 130 x 130 x 130

2a) 4X3 Behind the neck Push Press (snatch grip) – heaviest possible, rest 60 sec.

2b) 4X2 Snatch Pull @ 110% – rest 60 sec.
      200 x 185 x 190 x 195

Blame the snatch weights on a rushed/improper warm up. Didn't get a good feel for proper form until 4th round. Dropped snatch pull weight to get better form.

Strength

1) 1X20 Back Squat (Group 2 – 2X10 @ 50% – rest 60 sec.)
      135

20# heavier than last attempt
