Monday Funday

Strength: work up to max Snatch then 1-1-1 at 85%

then 3 Rounds of Ring Work (1 muscle up, 3 dips, 3 iron crosses, 3 skin the cats)

WOD: 100 DU
50 Pullups
25 Burpees

Today was fun day for sure. Snatches I worked some progressions to get the movement down better and did not go for a max. Its feels better each time I work on it but it still needs a lot of improvement. One of the guys that works out with us is just an O-lifter and he is helping me out a lot and invited me to workout with him Tuesday and Thursday at Chico State to work on O-lifting stuff. The ring work was really fun, I can only do half iron crosses but hopefully someday I will be able to do a full one. WOD was ok but of coarse my DU took forever then I kinda was being a puss with the pullups and broke them up a lot. I was happy with the Burpees tho cause I cranked those out good.

Time: 6:20

"NorCal Crippler"

Strength: Snatch 4 doubles at 70%

WOD: 3o Back Squats #185 (R'xed is 225)
800m Run
100m Broad Jumps

This was definitely a crippler. I broke my back sqauts up in 14-4-3-6-3 with not much rest. Run felt ok once I started going and the broad jumps at the end finished me off. Found that taking slightly smaller jumps but link them together as opposed to going max length on jumps and losing momentum.

Time: 7:28

Pullups

Strength today was max clean and jerk but I focused a lot on my form and did not load the bar to my full one rep max. I learned to actually catch the bar with my hands open in the front squat position which I couldn't do before today. My next problem was my feet were too narrow throughout my split jerk. Robb had me start with my feet wider and land in the split position with my wider also. Once I got that down I had no trouble with 175 which is good for me.

WOD: 4 Rounds of:
400m Run
Max Pullups

Updates

I have three workouts that I lagged to post up here. this whole spring break got me out of my routine.

WOD from Thursday: "Grace"

Time: 5:30 (PR)

Good benchmark and nice to see how much progress I have made.

WOD from Friday: 30 Muscle-Ups

Time: 4:26

Fun WOD. Next time I do this workout I'm doing full extension on the bottom.


Today's WOD: Run up a fat hill (2.7 miles)

Time: 55 min

First of all I might as well have been running blindfolded in a corn maze because I got lost!!! Prolly ended up running close to 6 miles or more. The good news is next time we go up there I will know the trail by heart.

Wallball/Pullups

WOD: 10 Rounds of:

Split Jerk

Snatch/Ring Dips


Bad pic but I wanted to put one up cause I dont do that as often as I used to. This is one one of my favorite meals that I usually have once a day. It is super easy to make. Cook the squash and yellow squash first(1 block of each), then add 1 cup tomato sauce and one 4 oz can of tuna. Add in some almonds and you have a tasty 4 block meal that is tasty and easy to make.

WOD: As Many Rounds in 10 min:
3 High Hang Power Snatch (#95)
3 Weighted Dips (#20)

This was an ass kicker. The weight was good for me because I could do everything unbroken but it was tough.

15 Rounds

New Post

WOD: 5 Rounds of:
Jog 100 m
Sprint 100m
10 Pullups

My blog has not been letting me post the last few times I tried to put something up but it seems to work again now. I am slightly sick so todays WOD was much harder than it should have been, my breathing sucked and my recovery was super slow. I did the pullups unbroken and tried to throw a few butterfly kips in there.

Time: 4:41

GOATS

Strength: Back Squat 3-3-3
205-205-215

WOD: 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 Wallballs
20, 18, 16, 14, 12 Ring Dips
(alternating starting with 50 WB)

Wow this one is not fun. Wall Balls are definitely a goat of mine so those were a little slow. Ring dips are now a new goat of mine, by the last couple of sets I had to pretty much just do singles.
