10/31/11

Had a great Halloween w/ the boys. Henry was a blue easter egg of all things. At first he had a pilot's costume, then Batman and then he settled on a blue easter egg. Weird, but cute. Bentley boycotted clothes all together and went shirtless and in shorts. We were an interesting site to say the least. I got some work in after the boys got to bed.

Strength: Back Squat 3x3

225x5
255x3
275x2
300 3x3 (PR)

That's a pretty big PR for me. I haven't really pushed it for a max on 3x3 before. I think my old max was maybe 275, but that might have been at 5x3. Still to finally get sets in the 300's, at 150lbs body weight, feels good.

WOD: 9 Rounds

5 Thrusters 115lbs
5 Dead Hang Chin Ups
5 Burpees

Time: 11:14

A tad slow but my legs were literally jello for this WOD. I took maybe 5-7 minutes in between strength and the WOD and I felt it. The thrusters were going up at a snails pace from rounds 1-5. Finally at about round 6 they started to go up much faster. I wanted to get the WOD into the 9's, for a round/minute. I know I can go much faster. Next time.

10/29/11

Last night I had tons planned and was doing my cleans and my back seized up like crazy and I had to rest it. Today was good though.

Strength: Split Jerk

135x5, 155x1, 170x1, 185x1, 215x1, 225x1, 230x1 (PR)

Nice PR for me.

WOD 1: 4 Rounds

15 Push Press 135lbs
15 Box Jumps
400 m Run

Time: 16:52

Yuck I hate running. I killed it on the Push Presses though. I was able to go unbroken on the first two rounds and then 10/5 on the last two.

WOD 2: 10 Rounds

10 PC 95lbs
20 Push Ups

Time: 10:41

That was a fun little WOD.

10/27/11

Yesterday I took a rest day. I played around a little bit with some OHS's and did 185 which felt good. Other than that I watched TV and ate Halloween candy.

WOD 1: 5 Rounds

10 HSPU
15 Pull Ups
20 Sit Ups

Time: 8:19

I did this WOD this morning before work. I did everything unbroken but was still moving a little slow. At least it was all unbroken. Tonight I have a bunch of stuff planned. Going to do some DL 1 min AMRAPs and then some body weight work.

Strength:

Ring Dips:

5x5 53lbs

5x20 Body Weight

Dead Hang Pull Ups:

10x10

WOD 2: 1 min AMRAP each weight, Dead Lift

245lbs: 23
275lbs: 16
295lbs: 14
315: 9

Man, I get lower back tightness like nothing else when I do DL's for speed. Maybe not the best WOD for me.

10/25/11

Strength:


Push Press: 135 3x10, 160x5, 175 3x3

I wanted to do a 5x3 but my shoulders were feeling it already and I had a lot of work to do still.

Bench: 135x10, 155x5, 175x5, 185x5

My chest is super weak. I mean seriously, 185 should not be hard and it was. Definitely something to work on.

Weighted Pull Ups: 35 5x5

These felt solid. I'll probably move up to 40-45 on my 5x5.

WOD: 5 Rounds

15 Pull Ups
7 Push Press 135lbs

Time: 6:49

My goal was to get all the presses in unbroken and I was able to do that. I was surprised that my grip started to give out on me on round 3 of the pull ups. Ended up doing rounds 3-5 10/5 on the pull ups.

10/24/11

Strength:

Back Squat: 225x5, 260 4x4

This felt super strong and was easy. Time to move the weight back up to 275+ on my 4x4.

Dead Lift: 225x5, 275x5, 300x5, 325x5

This also felt solid.

Weighted Ring Dips:

Body Weight x10
35x5
53 3x5

WOD: 5 Rounds

7 Hang Cleans 135lbs
14 KB 2pood

Time: 10:07

Holy crap I was moving slow. Cough attack, fatigue from the strength. I thought I would have crushed that WOD. Poor metcon performance balanced by solid strength. I need to start crushing metcons.

10/23/11

WOD: Josh

21 OHS 95lbs.
42 Pull ups
15 OHS
30 Pull ups
9 OHS
18 Pull ups

Time: 8:22

I was alright with that. That was my first time doing Josh. It's hard to guess where my time should be the first time I do a hero WOD. I'm pretty sure I could have finished in the low 7's actually because I wasn't breathing that hard at the end. Good WOD though.

10/20/11

WOD 1: Grace

Time: 4:46

That was freaking pathetic. I seriously had no intensity and I was the biggest wuss ever. I should have easily been in the 3's...at a minimum. I almost wasn't going to even post the time it's so bad. I obviously need to work on my power cleans.

WOD 2: 1 min AMRAP KB swings x3, 1 min rest in between each set

32-28-26

Lower back started to tighten up on me and my grip strength was terrible. Overall a terrible night. I'll be waking up and hitting a WOD for sure to make up for tonight.
