3-14-2011

5:30am

Deadlift 205# x 2 reps, rest 1 min x 6.
Speed on the way up was good.

KBS 8 reps x 1 set at 70# (rest 1 min)
then 8 reps x 4 sets at 88#
Found the big kb a bit hard to handle; managed.

3 sets
10 burpees fast
Airdyne 25 seconds @ 95%
walk rest 5 min.
Burpees felt slow off the floor, like it was taking me a second to register that I was down before I got up.

8:30am
20 minute gymnastic skill work: muscle-ups on the minute.
Hit 30 muscle-ups, not for time but I clocked it anyway (21:09).
Breakdown: 2f, 2f, 2, 2, 1f, 2, 2, 1f, 1f, 2, 2, 1f, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 with some extra rest thrown in.

Then 10 minute z1 row, 2196m at a very slow pace.

3-12-2011



Saturday tester:
2 rds
30 squat cleans, 65#
250m row
TIME: 5:44

This was fast compared to other times, but a bit disappointing. I went out according to plan, hit 30 cleans straight and rowed a level 250m at around 1:50 split pace. Then things fell apart -- aiming for 10 cleans but only got to 8 and dropped the bar. No excuse for that, next time going to stick to plan when the plan is so do-able.

3-11-2011

Power Clean build to a heavy double fast: 135 - 155 - 165 - 175

Touch+Go Power Cleans, 5 at 125#, rest 90 sec x 3

3 x 30 cal Airdyne, walk 5 min rest
1. 1:02
2. 1:00
3. 1:04

Coming into the gym felt very tired, worn down. Once I got going, though, felt strong.

Accuracy Tester

Friday 3-4-2011 off

3-5-2011
Comp Saturday. Accuracy was key this morning with strict standards: kettlebell swings bolt upright (body vertical, bell straight overhead and not cocked), burpees to a ring hung 6" over max reach, and full-foot-on-box jumps.

3 rounds:
12 "strict" kettlebells, 53#
12 burpees with jump to 6" target
12 full-foot box jumps, 20"
4:22

Got several bad reps called; probably could have done this in under 4 if my accuracy had been better. Totally missed the box once at the end, going to have a nice shin bruise tomorrow.

Saturday pm: 35 minute z1 run along the Hudson river.

Power

3-3-2011: am session

Power Clean: 9 sets x 2 reps, 90% effort
#135-145-150-155-160-165(1)-165-165-167

then 5 rounds, starting each on 5 minute mark:
3 power clean
10 burpees

TIMES
1. 150# 0:27
2. 155# 0:27
3. 160# 0:29
4. 160# 0:40 nb. before this round cut rest to only 3:30, power cleans went 1,1,F,1.
5. 160# 0:29

Came into the gym feeling sleepy, tired, not much grip strength. Started PC doubles light but they didn't feel easy. Got better as I went. Video'd my last set and noticed I am swinging the bar way out during my second pull. Will try to work out what I'm doing to create that wacky bar path; it is not helping me. Diego said maybe I'm starting to accelerate the bar below my knees.

Weds Comp

3-2-2011:

3:30pm
Snatch technique: focused on wide hands, and exaggerated set-up, dropping my butt and bringing my torso more vertical. Worked super-light on halting snatch deads + singles.

5:30pm COMP
1k row
35 toes to bar
50 double unders
35 toes to bar
1k row
13:30

Toes to bar were the time sucker. Row splits were pretty good, 3:41 and 3:47. DU unbroken. TTB needs work, maybe I'll build these in to my warm-up.

Strength Session

3-1-2011 am
Back Squat 3 x 5 rest 5 #175, 195, 205
Started too light, thinking I was going to do five sets.

Press 3 x 3 rest 4 #95, 100, 102(1)/95(3)
Thought I could hit three at 102 but only got one.

Walking lunge 6/leg x 4 rest 2.5: 35/hand, 53, 53, 53

Left this workout thinking, did I really max out or did I just dog it? Back squat undoubtedly should have done one more set and counted the 175# as a warm-up.
