1/14/11

Took a rest day yesterday because I was too sore from JT. JT is always a surprising WOD a day or two after you do it. It doesn't look like much but it kills your triceps and shoulders.

I will be doing double duty today.

WOD 1:

Skill: 
5x25 pull ups

Strength:

Press 5x5 95 lbs. Easing my way back into shoulders so I don't re-aggravate my tendonitis.

Deadlift 5x5 225 lbs. Also, easing my way back into heavier weights. I typically go too heavy, too quickly which then causes injuries which in turn causes me to skip days. Hopefully a more gradual reintroduction will help me stay healthy.

WOD 2: Tonight

Strength: BS 5x3 225

Metcon:

With a 20 lb vest:

12,9,6,3,6,9,12

Thrusters 95 lbs
Pullups
Time: 13:46

That was so hard it was amazing. It was essentially Fran, +13, but the weighted vest made the thrusters SO much harder. My Fran PR is 4:40, so I was obviously way off that mark. However, the weighted vest, the extra reps and lack of cardio definitely played a part in the slow-ish time.

Overall, I'm still satisfied with the WOD because I'm already getting to the point where the nausea is going away and I'm able to take less and less breaks during the WOD. Still a ways to go until I'm happy with my performance, but I'm making progress.
