10/31 Testing

Row 1k Rest 12min x3
ALL out effort on each one, NO pacing.

1000m #1 3:35   http://youtu.be/MupS5TddiRc

1000m #2 3:48   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rtqtLpN7h8&feature=share&list=UL2rtqtLpN7h8

1000m #3 3:50
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVDOKI2cSt0&feature=share&list=ULdVDOKI2cSt0

My legs are still hurting from this! 1st 1k wasn't a PR I felt good the first 250-500 then after 600m my legs hit a wall. I was on the same pace I rowed my 500's at the Optathlon. But after 600m I fell off and couldn't keep the pace. The 2nd 1k I tried to keep a 3:45 pace but fell off at the end and by the 3rd 1k I could only go so fast but was able to hold that pace the whole time and felt like I could of done a 4th 1k at that pace. Legs were just numb at this point. Arms cramped up after the last row.

Legs are super sore right now. Hoping it will be gone by morning.

- Tough one..haven't done a workout like this in a while. 

10/28 Testing

10 rounds:
10 Box Jumps 20"
10 CTB chin ups

12:47

http://youtu.be/w5EBjkbAdSs

All sets broken for CTB, Box Jumps all Unbroken

Pretty pleased with this considering last time I did 100 CTB for time it took me almost 20min. I felt like I was able to keep a pretty steady pace all through out and never completely died even though I was having to break it up into sets of 2's at the end. Didn't fail many reps like I usually do, still need to get better at CTB though.

10/27 Testing

27-Oct
A. Power clean; build to a max in 12 min
Rest exactly 2 min
B. Amrap power cleans in 8 min @90% of A 
C1. 30 strict HSPU for time (15 min cap); rest 0 seconds
C2. 20 kipping hspu for time (10 min cap)

A. 175# 5# under PR
B. 18 @ 160# - supposed to be 157.5 but didn't have weights to make that so I rounded up
C1. 14:30 - suprised I was able to finish these

C2. 3:20 -  did first 8 UB then lost composure next few then did 2, 2, 3, 4 to finish last 11..norep'd my self on one of them. Think I could go sub 3 if I didn't mess up on reps 9&10.

Fun day, would of loved to pr on my power clean. It will come. Shoulders were jello when I finished the hspu.

10/25 Training

10/25

Hotel WOD 3 - final one thank goodness

26min run around the lake outside the hotel.

Just wanted to get a good run in. Didn't want to be sore or worn out for my testing that starts Saturday!

I probably ran almost 3.5miles total. Ran at a comfortable pace but not too slow.

Traveling back home tomorrow, can't wait to get back to my normal routine.

10/24 Training

5min jog on treadmill to warm up

A1. Single leg lunge squats with foot on bench 8-10 x3; rest 1 min 20# DB each had all x10

+
400m @100% 1:25, started at 9 on the treadmill then moved it to 10 wasnt sure how to gauge the speed, could have gone faster.
rest 60sec, then:
21-15-9
DB thrusters @25# each arm
Burpees
5:31

Walked for about 30min after I finished

I forgot how much this would hurt! should of warmed up a bit more. 1st round UB, set of 15 thursters had to break into 3 sets of 5. This made me mad. Did my 15 burpees steady and UB then did all 9 thrusters UB, I was not dropping the DB for only 9, and did the burpees UB. People were looking at me like I was a bit weird in the hotel fitness room. They were jogging on the treadmill and carrying on on the eliptical while I was doing thrusters and burpees and probabaly looking like I was about to die haha. Fun workout though!
So ready to get back home though and into my normal routine and start testing!

Felt good today, didn't have rings to do ring pu on so I used parraletts and put my feet up on a box. Used an 88lb kb for russian swings. Traps are really sore from the cleans on Monday. Just a few more days!!

Training 10/5 - 10/6

SHE - 9/29

A. clean and jerk - 20 min tech work

C1. DB walking lunges - 10 tough steps total; rest 10 sec
C2. AMRAP Dips strict unweighted in 2 min; rest 1 min x 3

A. Worked up to 145 did 3-4 reps at that. Spent majority of time doint stop cleans at just above knee and from the high hang. I have a bad problem of hitching and pulling early so Mike has me doing these to fix the problem. I'm def noticing some progress and getting more comfortable pulling from the correct spot. Jerks felt good. Will spend more time on these next week.
B1. 85, 90, 95 - felt good. Have a tendency to lean forward and get on my toes coming out of the squat, anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
B2. 18, 20.5, 23 all x3
C1. 45# DB each hand
C2. 18, 13, 13 - felt great! did 9 UB on my first set! Thats like a 5rep PR ha

SHE - 9/30

5 incremental rounds for time:
50 DU's
10 reps - NPUBBJ - 14"
Row 400 m
NOTES: incremental means eacah round SHOULD be higher effort and faster - time it!
(NPUBBJ = no push up burpee box jump; fromt standing, drop into FLR while kicking legs back, kick legs in, jump at top onto box and off, back down into FLR, repeat - no pauses required)

3:17, 3:15, 3:07, 2:58, 2:48 - felt rough the first round, I wanted to stop and quit but couldn't let my self, didnt know how I was going to get faster each round but decided to have fun and grind it out and ended up feeling great by the end. Amazing at the kind of games you mind can play on you and how we in return can play games with our mind.

KBS - 2pd - feeling lighter each time I use it. 6 reps isn't too bad for me now it's once I get over 10-12 breathing gets heavy and grip starts to go.
Didn't time runs too around 1min each set I think*

SHE - 9/27

15 min @ 90% aer:

8 min AMRAP - 7rds + 8KBS + 5 burpees

http://youtu.be/9q6FgfcW1Ks

SHE - 9/23

5k Row for time:
21:24
Adjusted 18:58

- Kept a steady pace the whole time then pushed hard the last 500m, should have started pushing harder the last 1000m. First time doing this and I paced a little too much I think, I kept thinking if I pushed to much I was going to die at the end but I was rowing a 1:50 for most of the last 500m so I'm pretty sure I could of pushed harder overall during the 5k. Wasn't sure what time to shoot for but i was hoping for sub 21..next time!
