5/31 Sunday fun day

Got tired of sitting around today so I went outside at my parents and did about 30min of locamotion work. Ran about 200m then would do some stretches, ostrich walk, duck walk, lizard and leopard walk. I would go run a 200m loop about every 5 min. Then did some hs hold work. 

Then Andy asked me if I'd go hit some balls with him up at the school so I figured why not! Took me a few swings but then I got it back and was able to hit some to the outfield at least ha. Not bad for only swinging the bat every few years since I quit playing. Functional fitness kinda? Haha it just felt good to get out I the sun and move. Practiced some hs walks as well. I felt good today, no Sunday blues! 

5/28 5/30

28-May
A. Workout 2: Snatch Ladder - Starting at 65# - 12 stations/
increments vary per division

Hit 155 today, missed 160. Felt pretty sluggish before I started this and was procrastinating so I finally made myself just start. I didn't do near as much of a warm up as last time.

B. DB lateral step ups; 10 steps x5/side; rest 1 min bw sides

Used 15# DB in each hand
C. Single leg deck squats; accumulate 15-20 reps per leg

I did 15 per leg, legs were getting tired.

+
For time:
Row 2k
100 wall balls

13:17, was hoping for sub 13. Rowed a 8:20ish then went straight into wall balls, did 30 fine, thought I could easily maybe knock out a set of 15 or 20 after that but then it set in, did 7 sets of 10 to finish, arms were just burning. I felt that spot on the top of my good knee I was asking you about in ATL, if i take some aleave it doesn't bother me much but I can feel it sometimes when i sit down. I feel i should be able to do better on a workout like this, but i don't know what thats in comparison its just what i think in my head :)

+
mobility work

29-May
AM
A. Muscle up; 20 for time

4:57 did 2,2,2,2,2 then 10 singles. I think next time i should do a bigger set at the beginning. I was at 15 at 3:25 but i was pacing for 20 not 15, i think if i had to do 15 like for the regional workout I could do them in 3 minutes.

B. Ring thing tech work on back roll to support, front roll to
support, etc - 10-15 min 
Ok on these. Not super efficient, i feel i pull myself back in sometimes.

C. Strict hspu; amrap sets of 2 unbroken in 12 min (record score at 10 min)

16, just missed 17 sets, i got rep one of 17 but only got half way up on the 2nd rep. It was right at the end of time. I was at 14 at the 10:00 mark but I had 15 at 10:15, i finished my 14th set at 9:30. Feeling better with these.

30 min mobility work

I sadly didn't have time to do this, I thought I'd have time before i left to go visit my parents or when i got to their house but I didn't. I was going to try and add it into the next days training but I figured I should just let it go and not mess up tomorrows sessions.

30-May

Got to do the AM session with my brother, he did his ab work for pitching and i did my stuff. In the old old school weight room where my dad coaches but when I come back next time they will have a brand new facility with all nice top of the line stuff, they got like 400,000 dollars to build a new one or something crazy, so now Mike will be more enticed to come with me next time ha.

B. Randy (regional standards if you can)

3:46 at regional standards. Grip was the limiter. Broke sets up into 15/10 - 10/10/5 (should have done 15/10) then broke 10/8/7 - should have tried for 15/10 again as well. Def think with a little prep i could do 3:30. But man my forearms were like rocks when I finished and I couldn't barley open my hands or straighten my arms.

I have the first 25 on video if you want to see, its not letting me upload right now but I can email it.

woof these hurrt!! 23, 22, 19, 18 cals on the assault bike. My poor legs and arms, maybe one day they will have a little power :) 

I am struggling today (wednesday) so foggy headed and tired. I guess with the 2 tough sessions yesterday(even though they were shorter) and maybe my birthday it just wore me out more than I expected. Maybe I didn't eat enough but i had a huge dinner and a shake after my last session. Or it's just a case of the Wednesday blues :)

"amanda"

7:00 
MU 3/3/2/1 - 2/2/1/1/1 - 2/1/1/1
Snatch 3/3/3 - 3/3/1 - 5 
For the first time the snatch felt hard, I hadn't been able to push that hard on mu before to make my snatch tired. My first 3 caught me off guard. Sub 7 is my next goal! 


PM
60 min z1 aerobic + mobility

19-May
AM
Regional workout hspu/front squat/burpees


I got through 7 of the burpees in the round of 15! Last year I think I got 8 or 10 hspu in to the 15's. I finished the 21 strict hspu in 6:30 which was about 2-3 minutes faster than at regionals last year. Front squats I was worried I wouldn't be as strong at but I felt fine! I did 12/9 and then 8/7 on the 15's burpees were slow and steady. I have about 90s left after the 15 hspu to do the fs and burpees. May have been able to go a little further in a competition setting. But I felt good. Sad thing is I compared my new score against my old one in the regional standings and it would of only moved me up like 4 places :( I thought surely all the extra work would of gotten me up higher but nope, so I'm happy with the improvement but still know i need to keep working hard at these.

PM
60 min z1 aerobic + mobility


10min bike
10min row
5 min run
10min bike
10 min row
5 min run 

and then did some mobility afterwards. I didn't run 10 minutes because it would of felt harder than Z1 my legs just start burning so quick when i run.
