Felt my back during back squat but it was ok on metcon 

Did not do cleans because of my back. Figured I would do then tonight with team if anything but probably not, just let the back rest some. 

Team workout:

With Jim

66 wallballs 30lbs
100 dbl unders
66 front squat 185
66 bbj 

Did 13,10,10 for wallballs, dbl unders unbroken, squat 11,11,7, 9 (Jim was struggling so I did some more), bbj- alternated most but I probably did about 10-15 more because Jim needed a rest. 

All was ok, I got tired on burpees and squats were kinda hard but all doable.

45 x4
45 x4
50 x3
50 x4

Yup

D. AMRAP Strict Chest to Bar Pull ups

Just one set??

I did 9 felt like I should have done more. Maybe I didn't push enough I stopped when my chest stopped hitting the bar by I couldn't get the last inch. Felt like it has a lot to do with tight biceps. I just couldn't pull the last extra inch in. 

+
10-8-6-4-2
Power clean and Jerks 185lbs
Bar Facing Burpees

8:30

Low back hurts. I should have worn a belt. Or maybe shouldn't have done. We'll see tomorrow. I took the burpees slow. All singles on the cj's.  My first half of each set of clean and jerks was fast and second half slow. Transition from burpees to lift was slow too. It was all ok. Jerk was no issue and the lifts were quick with no resetting in the rack position.  It was ok. Pull is what went nothing else.

135 x10
135 x10

Low back still not super happy. A wore a belt for everything today. Think it helped a little. 
Don't think the pulling intensive metcon is good idea. Just doing the team workout later instead. 

Team workout. Did with Jim

30 triple unders 
50 power cleans 225
400m run
50 front squats
400 m run
50 burpees

This was stupid. I shouldn't have done it. I went down to 205 after 15 cleans. Thought it would help my back but it didn't make a difference.

My back is fucked up now. I shouldn't have done the workout


I didn't do this:

Planned on averages being; 2:10,2:05,2:00,1:55,1:50

Low back is tight, glad I took it easy today.

150412

Tried to run 4 miles first thing this morning. It was a thought but my back was really screwed up and running made it worse. I ended up walking a bit. Still went 4 miles becaus I'm not a pussy but it was a walk/run

My low back is super tight. I've been trying to roll it out but still pretty bad. I guess from all the pulling on Friday after not doing much heavy pulling for the last few weeks. 

150411

Just did this:

500m row
20 push-ups
30 wallballs
40 box jumps

Day 4
A1. Deadlift 5x5 Rest 1 minute

365

Hard but doable. weight was right. Hard on grip and low back but got it done 

A2 Bench Press 5x5 Rest 1 minute

185

Probably a little light but not much. I suck at bench. Had no spotter so I did t want to do much more. 

B. 12 Power Snatches AFAP 135lbs x3 rest 4 minutes btwn attempts

All unbroken. Grip was rough but I held on. The dirt two where fine. I didn't know if I would get through the 3rd but I did. Pull got tough on the 3rd set. 

+
EMOM 20 Min
Min 1 1-3 Power Cleans 225lbs
Min 2 Row 10 cals @ 85-90%

2, 2, 1 (squat), 2, 1(squat), 2, 1 (getting tired), 2, 1, 1 (squat)

Heart rate is high today kinda light headed too. Cleans hard. This is good for me though, make me clean heavy when a little out of breath, just a little. 

Most of the singles were becaus it was almost a squat clean and I didn't think the second would be much better.  Toward the end the singles were just cuz I was tired.

Day 3
A. Squat clean to a heavy single

275pr. First try. Felt easy. 

Got under 285 but not right. Call it good 
there. 

B. Banded Clean Pulls 5x5 rest 2 minutes

135 with green bands. I don't really understand. It's not hard but the bar doesn't move. Should I be using more/less weight or is it mainly the band that I'm using for resistance. The bar doesn't leave my body. 

185 with green
185 w/ green
185 w/ green
185 w/ green

10 Cal AD AFAP
Rest 3 minutes btwn sets


All thruster unbroken and fine. Box jumps were worst part, slow and hard. Really hard on hips. 

Ad was hard but just mental/cardio

Middle back was really bothering me I the squats. It's super sore now too. My hole back is sore but it's like more my intercostal muscles by my lower ribs. Kinda strange. Maybe really low on my lats from pull-ups yesterday. 

Body is pretty tight, this is my first week working out hard since 5 weeks of open.

5-4-3-2-1
Shoulder to OH 225
Muscle ups

5:51

Shoulders got really tired. Hard for body to stay tight on OH when I'm out of breath. Struggling with locking out my left elbow/wrist- mobility stuff

Went 4 unbroken and then all singles. To much rest in between.  I have to split jerk a lot at the end. 

Went unbroken on mups but took long transitions to make sure I would get whole set each time. Shoulders were tired on these too.

Day 1

Did strength in the morning at about 7am

A. Back Squat 5x5 Rest 2 minutes btwn Sets

305
Felt pretty good. It's hard but I'm staying pretty upright. 

B. Glute Ham Raises 3-4 x5Rest 2 minutes btwn sets

5 reps. No weight. I suck at these. Doing wrong or just a bitch???
4 reps with 15lb plate
4 reps. I push with my toes and kinda pull myself in instead of hinging at the hip. 
4 with 15lbs, failure on last one
5 reps, no weight

C. Good mornings 10-12 Reps x5 Rest 2 minutes

10 @ 135

Went back for metcon at about 5pm


+
10 Wall Ball tosses
10 Box Jumps 24"
10 Cal Row AFAP
Rest 90 Seconds 
x 10

1:09 box jump issues. Should have warmed up

1:06
1:04
1:03
1:05
1:06 row slowing down
1:07
1:06
1:07

Hips are tired. Row slowed down. Box jumps got better as I warmed up. Quads are pretty tight.  Not sure splitting the strength and metcon up was good. It gave my legs to much time to get tight. 

150405

Ran 45mn with the pooch. That bitch is kinda slow and she stops to piss on trees a lot. I think it's just cuz she needs to rest. 

Probably only ran 4miles but it felt good. 

Saturday, April 4, 2015

150404

30mn EMOM 
Power clean + thruster

Didn't plan on it being this long but it was pretty easy so I kept going. Power cleans felt really good for a change

Did the first 23 at 205, 225 for the last 7. Failed on the thruster on the last rep. 

+
2 rounds for time
30 wall balls
60 sit ups
30 burpee box jumps 

13:30. I think??? Maybe 11:30. I dunno, can't remeber. It was a variation of the class workout. Just movement, that's all. Pretty easy, unbroken obviously. 

Friday, April 3, 2015

150403

10mn EMOM
Power cleans
225

Cleans felt like shit, it was mainly just my catch. My front rack position was pretty bad and I was rounded foward.  But they were pretty easy strength wise. 

4-3-2-1
Rope climbs
Hspu- used the pvc bars for deficit 10"??
Cleans 225

About 8:30ish

I'm not good at rope climbs so I wanted to work on them. I'm climbing ok but resting too much in between. They kinda scare me cuz I grip sucks so much. 

Hspu were fine. 

Cleans were a bitch. They were all squat cleans and my back was really rounded in the catch/squat up. 

Andrea did a similar workout the other day. That's where I got it from. 

150402

Was in a rush so just did some strength and then the class metcon. Did about it about 10am. Quick in and out, less then a hr. 

Front squat 
5x5 @ 245

Felt ok, hip and knees were bothering me a little. 

Metcon
3 rounds
15 t2b
15 power snatch 115
30 dbl unders

Time: 7:36

It was ok- my grip got pretty smoked because I went to hard on first round. Also screwed up my dbl unders a lot on the first round.
