-This was a complete disaster. There was sweat and chalk everywhere. The plates were also flailing every which way. I didn’t clip the weights so they would jump around every time I dropped the bar. I just didn’t have enough time between sets to dry my hands, chalk up, change the weights, or adjust the weights... There wasn’t enough space to set up two separate bars this particular day. It got done though. Back was tightened up, but not terribly bad.

B.
20 Min. AMRAP
Run 400M
5 Muscle Ups
- 7 Rounds + 200M Run. Finished round 4 just after the ten minute mark, but had a nice side stitch kick in. My upper back felt uncomfortable during the runs. Arms felt heavy, like I was doing farmer’s walks. The muscle ups were unbroken- It’s the best they have felt in a while. Probably because it got me off of my feet for a few seconds.


07.02.2013

A. Power Clean @ 85%; 1 Rep Every 20 Sec.; 5 Min. (15 Total Reps)
85%- #225.25, used #230
- Cake. Threw in an extra clean at the end just for fun.

B. HSPU at deficit (45# Plates); 3-5 Reps; EMOM; 10 Min.
1. 5                            6. 5
2. 5                            7. 5
3. 5                            8. 4
4. 5                            9. 3 (2/1)
5. 5                            10. 3
- I just hit a wall. The first 6 felt fine. Then it just hit me. My neck and traps were toast. Didn’t use an ab mat or anything either. I figure it’s best to get used to not using one.

C. AMRAP KBS 60 Sec. @ 70lbs; Rest 90 Sec.; 4 Sets
1. 29 – got lazy at the 58 sec. mark; should have rep’d out 1 more
2. 30
3. 30
4. 30
- When I first looked at this, I thought it was going to suck. But one minute goes by quickly. Grip started to be challenged in the middle of the 3rd set. The last set was a bit of a struggle, but knowing it was the last set made it easy to hold onto the KB. Also, I didn’t pull the KB down, I just let gravity do its job.


07.03.2013

6 Sets @ 97%
5 Power Cleans TnG (choose a weight that is fast and powerful) #185
8 Burpees
25 Sec. Row
Rest 4 Min.
*Record meters on row, video last couple sets if possible
- Used #185 on the cleans. As you can see in the two attached videos, my knees are always bent during the cleans. I don’t actually stand completely up when the bar hits my chest. The burpees still feel a bit slow. Probably because I’m snaking them and not just falling straight down.

1. 8 Damper, 147M
2. 8 Damper, 146M
3. 8 Damper, 148M
4. 8 Damper, 139M
