I got my brace today so I decided to try and wear it, it was ok while lifting, gave me a little more confidence mentally I think, but it got in the way just a little. I didn't like it front squatting so I took it off and put my knee sleeve on and that felt better and I left it off for 14.2. Its not heavy and doesn't restrict movement much, but it actually does restrict my depth a little I think.
30-Dec
A. Squat snatch; start to build heavier to comfort here and film
heaviest attempts you are comfortable with)
140! just 15# away from my old max!
140 - http://youtu.be/TUEPSMKCh3Q
B. Squat clean; 15 min tech work (as heavy as you are comfortable taking it)
Built to 155 and got it this time but it was more of a slight power and ride down
155 - http://youtu.be/DKa4FNlGCxw
C. Front squat; 5, 5, 5, 3, 3, 3; rest 2 min
These hurt my knee a little today for some reason but not bad, still slow going down into the squat. I can't hit the deep bottom and try and bounce out yet.

breathing got high in the round of 14's CT, OHS got hard, CTB felt strong but arms got tired on OHS for some reason. Legs got a littled tired too, i just couldn't do the OHS as fast as i used to, trying to get comfortable just letting my self fall into the squat but still not there yet.

They were more intense than I realized lol. Workout was20 min Amrap3 burpee over box3 power clean 85#6..6..9..9..and so onEach person completed 3/3 then you go into the 6/6 so it turned to fast sprint intervals. We ended on the 18's but I didn't get to do them because time ran out. The 15's burned I must say. I did each of my sets unbroken and did box step overs instead of jumping. I actually got pretty fast at them towards the end. It was fun but dang my hands and thumbs are sore from the tng power cleans lol and the 40 mu I did too :)Fun day though!

Oh boy, this messed me up! I got winded and fatigued. My hands ripped yesterday on the pu/bar mu complex so I couldn't get a good grip on the rings but mu did feel pretty good.
Did wb mainly in sets of 10, burpees were slow, arms were tired when I got to them. MU were 3/2 for 3 sets 2/2/1 for set 4 and then Last set was 2/1/1/1
Not sure why I felt so winded or fatigued. The first 50wallballs hurt me..
Some one cut the clock off before my last set of burpees and mu but I think it took me 26ish minutes. Wall ball target was hard to use at this gym today, I was all over the place, haven't had that issue in a while.
I took video of the 50-40rds
A little frustrated with this, wanted to do better

Last rep- http://youtu.be/GkS9n2XedlU
When I first saw this I was intimidated and thought no way I could split jerk 80% of my old 1rm yet considering I haven't split jerked yet since surgery. But I started with the bar and just worked my way up getting comfortable and then hit 165# and was fine, just all in my head. They weren't all perfect but got better rep by rep.
B. Seated L-legless rope climbs; 6 reps not for time to 10'

(Mike got the stomach virus the day before this session so I couldn't train that night, I was having to run errands for him because he couldn't get out of bed) So I did the wallball/kbs workout this AM and did the lifting this PM before this session.
My back was still hurting this evening before his and after the lifting so I skipped the row because warming up for it felt like it was just goin to aggrivate it more.
So I did the 10min airdyne.
Row 3k @90-95% aerobic pace
+
Airdyne 10 min for max calories
171 cals. I think my all time best is 190 so I need like 2 more cal a minute which is hard but reachable. My goal was at least 150 but was hoping for 160 and I crushed that. I avg about 15cal a minute for the first 3 min then about 16cal for another 2-3 min then I really started trying to push a little more each minute for the last 4 min and with 2 min left I turned it in and the last 45s I went as hard as I could.
Boy were my legs blown up afterwards, I could barely walk haha I had such a bad leg pump and bone squeeze going on

150 wallballs took about 8:50, I rested about a minute then started the kbs. My back was so tired and blown up. Did most of the swings in sets of 10, did some smaller sets at the end. Had to do this at 6am so a little harder to push but the lower left side of my back was lit up.

29-Nov
A. Strict press; 5x5; rest 2 min
80-85-90-95-100
Felt strong
B. Strict pull ups; 100 for time
15:24 I was actually pretty happy with this. Did 3/2/2/2 then 89 singles lol but tried to make them fast. Strict hspu; 40 for time
These were so hard after the pull-ups, my arms were blown up. Took me 18:30 :( but I got through them.
D. Advanced frog stand practice/tech work 15 min
I tried the adv frog stand today but didn't get too far, arms were very fatigued at this point.

21-15-9
Deadlift 185#
burpees
…rest exactly 1 min
Row 500m for time
DL/burpees took me 8:08
Row took 1:52..
Broke DL 8/7/6 6/5/4 5/4
Burpees I just did steady
The 185 dl felt how 205 used to feel. Hopefully strength in that comes back quickly. My legs were smoked by the end of the row and I was so out of breath. I broke the dl set of 9 because I had the row after with only 1 minute rest, I didn't want to completely blow up before the row.
Though day but a good one.

Not so pretty lol but it's a start
Oh double unders. I tripped the first 10 attempts I think on the first rep..then finally started getting them. Got up to 9 in a row..def don't feel as smooth as they used to but with time hopefully they come back.
Knee is pretty sore after all this, lower body just got fatigued. Felt good though.

Last 2 sets were toughest.
B. Power clean; build to a tough single (as heavy as knee allows)
165! May have been able to do more but it felt like it was getting heavy on my knee lading so I stopped. Don't want it to get ugly.
+
30-20-10
power snatch 53#
thrusters 65#
Oh boy this was tough! But was a good push, thrusters were the hardest, not in a good position in the bottom so made it tougher to get out of the squat and wasn't generating any power. I'm still squatting with my shins straight like I was on box squats, need to get more comfortable letting my knees go over my toes some. It just feels weird and at times grinds a little.
But reps were
Snatch 8/7/6/6/3 - 8/7/5 - 5/5
Thrusters 5/5/5/5/55 - 3/7/5/5 - 10
My back blew up bad when I got to the 20 thrusters I did 3 and had to stop for about :45 to let it relax. This was mentally tough.
Here's some video - embarrassed with how my thrusters look but I guess I have to start somewhere and I can only go up. But I am happy with how my power snatches felt!!

This is feeling better! Leg felt stronger today! Very sore and tired after the workout but drills and runnin felt less awkward.

11/21
Catching up on Friday's post - def feeling the 2nd day soreness today from Friday's session. It's rainy and cold here today so I've just been doing chores around the house and watching a little tv :) Probably need to airdyne for 10-20min or go on a walk and then do some rolling out to try and help any soreness that will linger into tomorrow.
21-Nov - Friday
A1. Power snatch clusters 3.3.3x5; rest 20 sec/rest 1 min (tng -
increase weight from last week)
75-85-90-95-100
100# http://youtu.be/x9JEj2BGxJ0?list=UUVOO3Wwkh2fWg8u_hUf2v8Q
Very happy I was able to get 100# on the last set. I almost missed the last rep but it felt good, fist time I've really pushed on snatches in a while. I've been timed and scared and I lost that a little tonight and just wanted to go for it.
A2. Box jump practice - 5-10 reps (same height as last week) x5; rest 2 min
Did 10 reps each set, feeling more comfortbale with these.
B. Back squat; 10-12x5; rest 2 min (increase load from last week)
95-100-105-110-110
110 got tough so I stayed there for the last set as well. the last 4 reps are usually the hardest and slowest for me each set. Legs just get tired quicker right now than they used to.
+
15 min run tech work
did some jogging and single leg hops.
+
12 min amrap:
40 single unders
20 wall balls
7 rounds even - broke wall balls 10-5-5 each set to keep myself being able to move faster and not stop much. I went straight into the single unders each round and the only time i broke was when I tripped in 2 of the rounds. they felt better than last week, didn't feel like I "had" to break to give my knee a rest. It did get tired that last round though.

22-Nov
AM
A. Push jerk; 5, 5, 5, 3, 3, 3; rest 75 sec
95-105-115-125-135-145
145 is the heaviest i've gone yet, felt good but at the same time was touch, all other sets i did tng but at 145 i reset before each rep. Don't have the hip explosiveness I used to have yet.
B. L- rope pull ups (low hand at middle of forearm of high hand)
@22x1; accumulate 20 reps/side
Done, felt stronger than last week. Did mostly singles, a couple sets of 2's
C. Strict hspu; 30 for time
8:50! Huge PR. this is over a 5 minute PR from 2 years ago. It was cool to be able to go back and look at my blog post from 10/27 and see my time and the progress I have made. You sometimes don't truly see the progress you've made until you sit and really look back at where you started. Or I don't at least, i'll get caught up in comparing myself with others times and numbers and tend to not sit back and look at the personal progress I've made which is really all that matters :) Super happy about this time.
When my leg is good enough to test the regional hspu workout again, I want a go at it again :) I think it took me around 8-9 min at regionals to do just 21.
D. Advanced frog stand practice/tech work 15 min
Got a little better and was able to learn to roll out kindof with out completly smacking my back.
I did a little free standing hs work again, much better today. And mike was doing fs hspu or practing them so I decided to try them from a headstand postion and I got to where I did one into a hand stand and held it for about 5sec until I started to have to walk. I was excited about that!
E. Support hold on rings;accumulate 3:30 not for time
Done, but tough..i supported my self with barely letting one foot tough the ground the whole time
F. Pike lifts; 12 reps x3; rest 90 seconds (pause 2 seconds at the top
of each rep)
Did these, not as hard as it thought but the last set was hard, my left him flexor kept wanting to cramp.
PM
6 sets:
Row 750m
15 KBS 2 pood (russian)
15 burpee jump to plate (45# plate)
rest 3 min bw sets
Wholy moly these were tough today! I think because I pushed a lot harder than last weekend. I was sub 5 on all but 1 set yeseterday but last week I only 1 or 2 sets were sub 5 and my first was 5:45.
Times on these were:
4:55 4:55 5:00 5:02 5:00 4:50
I was happy to be able to average almost the same time for each set. After set 3 I started to feel like i wanted to throw up and I really felt it after the last one. I was spent. I think the row is the hardest part for me, mentally at least. I rowed a 2:10 for each set. I just feel like I used to be able to row much faster during something like this, maybe I'm wrong and maybe it's just going to take time to get it back. Russian swings were all ub and burpees weren't bad just kept trying to move as fast as I could.

This was huge progress for me, I've never been able to do doubles like that. I was at 11 at the 2min mark, 21 at 5:07 and 25 at 6:45.
Regionals I'm pretty sure it took me about 8min, if not more, to do 21.
D. Advanced frog stand practice/tech work 15 min
These were interesting and challenging. I liked doing them. I ate it the 2nd attempt, I fell right on my face and ate it lol. I didn't want my knee to hit first so I let my nose and face take the impact and of course everyone laughed at me, they said that was the hardest they've seen anyone fall 2" from the ground.

The first one was rough, had a metal battle with my self, I almost called it and quite and tried to tell my self I wasn't ready for a double yet but overcame it did the second one and the battle was on! Told myself this road to recovery and getting back inshape wasn't going to be easy and if I wanted it I had to hurt and push and so I did. Very happy with my last set. I went straight into the kbs and burpees. Burpees feel strong right now.
Here's the last set- http://youtu.be/quUpWDqioFA
