They all felt really good. Was leaning a bit forward on the finish. Cody's cue was that I should start with my butt up higher and shoulders a bit out over the bar, so I'm not lifting my but up first from such a low start and pushing myself forward. Totally felt better after that. My one rep max is 65 and 60 felt pretty easy.

Four rounds for time of:  27:30
Row 400 Meters
Run 400 Meters
(This workout will be performed as a relay race in teams of three or four. The moment one member comes off the rower, the next teammate may begin rowing. The workout is completed when each member of the team has rowed and run 1600 meters. If you don’t have teammates to share the burden, give yourself 2-3 minutes of rest between rounds, and score the times for each round.)
We had a team of 4 with Michelle, Summer, Tiana(?) and myself. I did 2 rounds of the run and 2 rounds on the Airdyne for 25 calories. That thing is hard! Especially after rowing.
Weight at 6:00A: 206 23.5 New low!

Performance


A.
Pull-Up Clinic
Take 15 minutes to practice good, efficient pull-up mechanics, or learn progressions to attaining your first pull-up.
Got about 4-5 butterfly pull-ups in a row. Need to work on grip strength.
B.
Seven rounds for time of:  18:08
7 Handstand Push-Ups  Did dumbbell push-press instead with 35#
7 Burpees
7 Ring Dips  Lots of toe-tapping
7 Pull-Ups
Weight at 6:00A: 208.2 23.5

Performance


A.
On the minute, every minute, for 12 minutes:
Thruster x 2 reps
(take the weight from the floor for every rep)
(build the weight as you see fit – the goal is to move as much weight as possible in the 12 minutes – do not count failed attempts, simply sum the weights successfully lifted over the course of the 12 minutes/24 potential lifts)
3160 lbs. 115x4, 135x4, 145x4  Could have gone heavier, especially for the first four rounds.
Rest exactly 5 minutes, and then . . .
B.
On the minute, every minute, for 12 minutes:
20 Double-Unders + Max Reps Push-Ups 
110. Subbed 60 singles instead. Calf better but still not 100%. Started with 15 push-ups and got down to 5's and 3's.
(Be smart here!!! The goal is max number of push-ups completed at the end of the 12 minutes, but consider how many you want to complete in each minute – exhausting yourself to complete failure in the early sets is not likely to be your best strategy.)
(Please post two scores – one for thrusters, and one for push-ups – e.g., Thrusters = 3840 lbs., Push-Ups = 206 reps)
3160/110

Monday, October 15, 2012

75% of 1-RM x 2 reps
85% of 1-RM x 1 rep
90% of 1-RM x 1 rep

A.
Three sets of:
Bulgarian Split Squat x 8-12 reps  8, 10, 8 with 35's. Tough on the hammies.
Rest 30 seconds
60 second Handstand Hold  Not too bad.

Rounds of 50, 40, 30, 20 and 10 reps of:
Double-Unders
Anchored Sit-Ups
Subbed half the number of double-unders with burpees. Sucked. Was really looking forward to this one. Stupid calf! Sit-ups got hard after the first round.

Thursday, October 11, 2012

Performance


A.
Five or Six sets of:
Shoulder Press @ 20X1 tempo
Rest 3 minutes between sets
(use this time effectively to work on hip mobility or glute activation exercises – your coaches can help give you some suggestions)
For the shoulder press, perform the following reps and percentages:
* Set 1 – 50% of possible 1-RM x 3 reps
* Set 2 – 75% of possible 1-RM x 2 reps
* Set 3 – 85% of possible 1-RM x 1 rep
* Set 4 – 90-95% of possible 1-RM x 1 rep
* Set 5 – Test 1-RM
* Set 6 (optional) – Exceed Set 5 weight
Worked up to 150# (PR). Could probably get more with more time and at a 100%.
B.
“Lucky Sevens”  
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:  5+9
7 Box Jumps (24″/18″)  subbed 30# dumbbell push press

Performance


A.
Take approximately 10-12 minutes to work up to approximately 85% of your 1-RM deadlift
Worked up to 3 reps at 275. Went with 265 for the workout which is closer to my 1 rep max of 315.
B.
Every four minutes, for a total of six sets, complete the following as quickly as possible:
Deadlift x 3 reps (use approximately 85% of your 1-RM)
Box Jumps x 12 reps  subbed 50# ball slams
Sprint 200 Meters  subbed 200m row
(Rest the remainder of the 4 minute cycle. Record the time to completion in each of the 6 sets.)
2:00, 1:44, 1:50, 1:55, 2:00, 1:50  The transitions slowed me down some and so did turning the erg back on. 50# ball slams are hard!

Performance


A.
Take 12-15 minutes to work on technique and build to a heavy, but not necessarily 1-RM,

B.

Performance and Fitness

Three sets of:
Walking Lunges with DBs x 20 steps @ 1010

For time:
400 Meter Run

Didn't do anything because I tore my plantaris muscle/tendon during warm-up. Ouch!

Barbells for Boobs

Grace: 30 clean & jerks for time at 135#

Did 115#. Back super-sore from deadlifts on Friday. 4:13. If back was good I would have definitely gone Rx.

Thursday, September 27, 2012

Performance


A.
Four sets of:
Strict Weighted Pull-Ups x 2-3 reps  Like 2.9's with 26# kettlebell, so still totally improving.
Rest 90 seconds
Front Squat + Jerk  Worked up to 205. Got a little wonky on the jerk, but locked it out.
Rest 90 seconds
B.
Complete as many rounds as possible in 5 minutes of:  4
10 Pull-Ups
10 Alternating Pistols (or 10 Goblet Squats)
Pull-ups were actually pretty good. Did the first 10 unbroken and my kip is getting better.
Pistols with the green band. I think the strength is there, it's just a new awkward movement. The knee felt good though. The opposite quad is what hurt the worst, but it got better as it went along. 
Rest exactly 5 minutes, and then,
Complete as many rounds as possible in 5 minutes of:  3+6
10 Toes to Bar
20 Double-Unders
Tore my hand a little on second round of TTB. Then I just got tired. Double-unders were oddly off. I think my rope was hitting something on the ground on the second set.
