Partition reps however, if you have a 20# vest or body armor, wear it. 

39:19 (20# vest) - did 20 rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats unbroken, 2:49 slower than last year, I think due to last year's course not being a full mile and the temperature being a lot hotter today. Wore a 15# vest last year but the 5# didn't make a huge difference, I didn't actually do everything unbroken last year, I think I just ran faster/less.

Last Pensacola Workout for a While

Worked up to a heavy front squat single. Hit 305lb without much trouble so went for 320lb and failed. Been lifting/working out this week in my reebok nanos (crossfit sneakers), I like to think I could hit 320lb in my lifting shoes.

forgot to add that i did some hbbs too, worked up to a heavy set of 3 at 295, third rep was not very good, most weight i've had on my back for a hbbs in probably 9 months

dcf sat

8 rounds for time:
6 thrusters 135
2 rope climbs

12:27

tried to simulate the thruster/rope climb event from regionals with doing two rope climbs instead of doing one at a time, didn't end up being the best

dcf fri

Started with Event 1/2 from Regionals, 2 attempts to establish 1RM hang squat snatch, 10 min rest, then 1 attempt at max distance hand stand walk.

Opened with 175, missed 190, redid 190 during our 10 min rest and hit it. HS walk - 30'

Did some squats afterwards:

HBBS - 4x70%, 3x4x80% (off 330lb)
Front Squat - 5x60%, 5x65%, 2x5x70% (off 310lb)

Started with outlaw gymnastics work:
3x:30 wall-facing handstand hold
40' inch worm walk, walking out to hollow position with hands and feet as far apart as possible 
3x12 wall-facing handstand hold shoulder shrugz

Then built up to a heavy 3rm front squat:
135-185-225-245-265-245-225-185-135

Then did two no false grip muscle ups on the minute for 15 mins, gonna try to slowly add one rep at a time as these feel more comfortable

DCF Tues

Started with some handstand holds and handstand hamstring pike stretches
 
 
3RM clean from blocks at top of the knee, then 3x95% and 3x90%
 
Hit 95kg then decided to go for 100kg since it would make the math for the back off sets easier, hit 100kg fortunately, though it was sloppier than 95kg
 
 
3RM jerk from blocks
 
90kg felt like shit so I quit, probably needed to mobilize the shoulders/t-spine more
 
 
3x5 jerk drives at 110-120% with 3 second pause
 
Did 3x5 at 110, which is less than 100% but felt heavy, especially with the pause
 
 
10x3 back squat at 50-60% + chainz, as explosive as possible out of the bottom
 
Did 185 + all the chainz we had
 
 
Felt kind of nice not doing any conditioning whatsoever.

Nearing the End of Strength Cycle

Haven't written a post in a while so I figured I'd update a little bit.  I've been on an extended strength cycle since January and have made some good progress.  Recent PRs include:

Strength PRs:
Squat 465lbs x 5
Bench 270lbs x 5 x 3
Press 180lbs x 5 x 3

Random Oly PR:
C&J 130kg.

I have 2 more weeks and then I will run a mock meet and test my new maxes.  My goals are: squat over 500, bench over 300, press over 200.

Astute individuals will notice that I didn't mention the deadlift.  With that one, I'm trying to strengthen my back as much as possible by doing it beltless and only with weight that I can do without rounding my back at all.  Currently I'm working with 385lbs for 5.

I've also gained about 10lbs on this strength cycle which means I'm way over my weight class.  My next meet is scheduled for August 2nd, so when I come off the strength cycle I will start dieting.

051414

1k row @ 2:00/500m
1x5 deadlift @ 405

Pretty disappointed this was as hard as it was, especially considering I'm competing in 30 days.  I guess that's what i should expect, I'm down 15 lbs to low 160s and knocked a few points off my bodyfat percentage.  I'm considering doing a few months of bodybuilding programming after the meet, just for a change of pace and to learn new things and get more jacked...someone talk some sense into me.

So our gym is starting a strength cycle. Looking forward to it.

A. 5-5-5-5-5 back squat @ 75% 1rm

I didn't have a recent 1rm so first worked up to that:

225-255-275pr

That said, surprised how heavy 255 and 275 felt, given that I squatted 245 for triples a few week ago, oh well. Did a set of 5 at 205 afterwards for good measure.

B. 30-20-10
25# wall ball
Sit-ups

4:48. Most better guys under 4min

2014-05-12 (MB)

Warmup run: 1.0 miles at 7.0mph with 1.0 incline

Squat: 195x5x3
Press: 105x5x3
Power Clean: 135x3

Power clean aggravated my back strain from 2 weeks ago so I cut them short.

Sunday, May 11, 2014

DCF Sun

Started with snatches up to 70kg/154lb, gonna keep working at around 70-80% to groove the movement patterns for the next few weeks since I haven't been practicing snatches regularly for about 9 months.

Then two cleans on the minute at 90kg/198lb for 10 minutes.

Then worked up to a heavy front squat triple, up to 265lb, which felt good, decent speed on the way up.

Then did regionals individual event 5 just for shits:

10 rounds:
1 legless rope climb (14')
200 foot sprint

4:20 - good for top 20 in each of the three regions that completed the workout yesterday.

Saturday, May 10, 2014

DCF Sat

Ran through Saturday's regionals events today, I subbed in for the third dude who's out of town.

WOD 1 (3 males):

50 thrusters 135#
10 rope climbs
40 thrusters
8 rope climbs
30 thrusters
6 rope climbs

Partition work however you want, once the bar is picked up from the ground for each set of thrusters it cannot touch the ground until the set is complete. Each male must complete one rope climb each round.

Not going to post our exact time but with some more practice on the transitions we should be able to cut 10-15 seconds off. Of the three regions that have done this workout today, our time would be 1st in Canada West, 8th in South East, 6th in North Central.

WOD 2 (each of the 6 team members complete the following one at a time, alternating M/F/M/F/M/F):

9-6-3
Strict HSPU
Hang clean 160#
Bar facing burpee

4:00 - about 90 seconds slower than my PR time earlier in the week. Did the HSPU 9; 3-2-1x-1; 1-1x-1-1. Attribute the slower time to being fatigued after WOD 1. I wonder if this is an instance where creatine would help.

DCF Fri

Did a full run of regional's day 1 workouts with set rest time between the two workouts. 

Workout 1:

15-15, 15-15, 12-12, 12-12, 9-9, 9-9 reps for time of:
Muscle-ups
Clean and jerks, 135 / 95 lb.

Guy 1 does 15-15, girl 1 does 15-15, guy 2 does 12-12, etc.

I did the round of 12's, muscle ups in 5-3-4

Rest 1 hour, then Workout 2:

Team of 6 has 8 minutes to establish 1RM hang squat snatch, each team member gets no more than 2 attempts. I opened with 175 (failed), hit 175 on my second attempt. 

Rest 2 minutes after the 8 minute cap, then Workout 3:

Max handstand walk, each team member gets one attempt, I got 15 feet

---

I'll be an alternate on the team, other guy will probably open his snatch with 220 and can handstand walk 50 feet easily. The other workouts are probably a wash but these are enough for it to make more sense for him to go over me.

I have about 4 more weeks of training before I'm out of the country for about 4 weeks for work and likely won't be working out seriously/regularly. Before I leave I'm going to be primarily weightlifting (oly) and squatting, probably using the outlaw weightlifting programming. TBD what the training will look like for the remainder of the summer, there's certainly going to be a shitload more squatting and weightlifting though. Time to get strong. Long term I'll probably do the open again next year and start training for that again in the fall, with the goal of finishing the open in the top 2 in the gym and securing a spot on the regionals team for 2015.

3 sets of: 4 Hang Snatch "Pulls" @ 70/90/110% of "Opener" Snatch (use straps)
1 "Cold" Snatch @ 80% of your Opener


Pulls felt good, OH mobility is still shit, snatch catch is not good, tried "opening" with 145 for my 80% and missed it 3 times, mind you this is my 1RM muscle snatch, need to keep working my OH mobility

For Time:
49 Standard Kipping Pullups

...then IMMEDIATELY sprint 50' and Full Snatch + 3 OHS 185

Notes:
-No butterfly-ing allowed.
-SPRINT HARD and perform the snatch OHS as fast as possible.


Skipped this, after failing my snatches there was no way I was OHS-ing 185

For Time:
50, 5 Alternating Deadlifts (275/185)
50, 5 Alternating Toes to Bar

**Do this in your teams all at the same time against one another**

Notes:
-Don't just do ths workout, try and find an advantage
-Try and discover what strategy will work best


4:37 - did the full event this past Sat with the same partner in 12:30+, the deadlift/T2B portion that we did today took about 8:00 on Sat so this is a marked improvement, partner was able to move a lot faster on the deadlifts

For time:
9-6-3:
Strict HSPUs
Hang Power Cleans, 160
Burpees over the bar


2:48 - HSPU: 9; 5-1; 3; marked improvement from last Fri (4:29), but we also didn't do 50 thrusters at 135 before today's workout, unfortunately at regionals the thruster/rope climb workout is one hour before this one. Need to practice shortening cycle time on burpees and not taking a step to get up to the bar.

Yang made a good point that I should have some goals, so here they are:

1. 5.0 mile run at 7.5mph. This will take some time.
2. 225-250 back squat on linear progression. Once I get there again, I'll just maintain that weight while I work on running for the Rachel Carson Trail Challenge.

DCF Sun

Weekends are about to get real long.

Sun 1:

Work up to 1RM hang snatch in 20 mins

Shitty day for snatching. Missed 175, felt heavy, went back to 165 to work on grooving some positioning, missed about 4 or 5 more. Been doing thoracic mobility, need to work on actively externally rotating my shoulders in the catch because my default position is internally rotated overhead.

---

Event 8
Complete as a relay for time:
49 pull-ups
7 overhead squats, 185 / 115 lb.
(M/W/M/W/M/W)

Did the pullups in about 1:20 then did two OHS and stopped after I failed my third. I clean and jerked the bar to get it set on my back for the OHS and dropped it on my neck when I was bringing it down to my back so I said f it after dropping it on my neck a second time.

---

Sun 2:

Skipped the first part which was hand stand walks and snatch pulls cause I was coaching

---

6 sets of 5:
Jumping Quarter Squats + Chains, Goal Snatch Weight + 3 chains/side

\\ we did 315 plus green bands, suffice it to say I was getting much less air than the other guys, in fact my heels were just coming off the ground and that's it

Notes:
- Work here on a FAST eccentric, ZERO time spent in the bottom of the "dip" and as EXPLOSIVE a turn around as possible. The focus is turning the weight around as fast as possible from "dip" to explosion
- Look at this like a "Hang snatch" with the bar on your back.
- Pause for a moment to reset between reps
- Don't go heavier, get faster and more explosive.

3 sets of 10:
12" Depth Jumps to Max Jump
....rest 3-5 seconds between reps...
....rest 2-3 minutes between sets...

Notes:
- The focus here is just spending no time on the ground, super fast turn around.
- Use a 30" box or so but focus on exploding as HIGH as possible

30 mins at ~2:20, 6,000+m

Practiced hand stand walks for about 15-20 mins afterwards

Regionals team events announced yesterday, practicing these bad boys this weekend

050114

Rowed 1k at an easy 2:15/500m then did some random stuff.  Repeated till I was up to 7k rowed or so.  Random stuff included foam rolling and stretching (super sore from first squats in 2ish weeks), pushups/pullups/chins, curlz, trying to not creep out the smoking hot blonde chick that i've never seen there before (fail: 0-0-0), etc.

Continuing to lean out to get down to 165 for a meet in mid june.  I'm at like 168.  Stress ate the fuck out of some mexican food before class though.  That may have set me back.  I'll post some weight tracking plots when i have more data that makes me look jacked and tan.

Cfnyc

Back on the wagon after three days of drinking and eating like crap. It showed.

5 rounds not for time 

5 deadlift
10 weight push-ups on Paralette or ring dip
15 strict knees to elbow

Only did 4 rounds. Did deadlift at 275, felt  very heavy. Did 2 rounds of dips and 2 rounds of 50 lb pushup. K2e were sets of 3-5. Awful.
