Gettin Beatin

AMRAP in 20 minutes:
400m run
10 Thrusters, 95/65
5 burpees
 
Ughh... first day back from vacay in Hawai'i. Not pretty. Hips, lungs, and mind were SHOT. 5 rounds +400m run (although time ran out before I finished the whole 400m.) Plus, I can't remember the last time we did thrusters... maybe December? They weren't feeling efficient at all.

Missed The Bus

5 rounds of:
7 Deadlifts, 275lb
11 Jumping (over the bar) Burpees

On vacay and had entirely too much alcohol this past week so I scaled back to 225 on the load. Did all deads unbroken and just tried to keep moving on the burpees. 6:32 was my time. Oh, and that was the hottest WOD I've done this year... Must've been 90 sumthin degrees in the box with no fans. Good stuff.

*I was 15 minutes late to the 9:00 class because I missed the bus I needed, I'm lucky that they let me jump in

Uno Mas

A. Back Squat @ 20X2: 5,5,5,5,5; rest 3 minutes
B. Overhead Press: 5,5,5,5,5; rest 2 minutes
+
4 sets @ 95% effort:
15 sec AMRAP Burpees
45 sec rest

242# was my best today... that's a 5 rep PR for me. 113# was my best press x5... I got 118 x4. Pretty sure that's a 5 rep PR as well. Burpees I pulled-off a 9/9/9/9/9. Just couldn't seem to get that 10th rep!

Head Rung Bell Sung

75 Overhead Squats for time, 95#

Took me a lousy 6:37 with 6 sets of 16/10/12/12/12/13... massive headache afterwards. I did 75 OHS's with 45# after just for grins. Did some jump rope work as well.

Funny Name for an Englishman, I Know

Clean-and-Jerk to a tough (but not 1RM) single
+
4 sets:
60 sec AMRAP turkish get ups (you pick weight, keep speed high)
rest 30 sec
60 sec AMRAP box jumps (24/20)
rest 30 sec

186 was my best clean AND jerk... I cleaned 198 but missed the jerk. Then we ran out of time. Did 4 tgu's per round with a 44# and 31/41/41/43 box jumps for a total of 160. I don't think I could have done the tgu's any faster even at a lighter weight while still hitting all the steps in-between. Maybe should have rolled with the 53 though.

Wowzers!

3 rounds for time:
7 heavy front squats
20 sec sprint run @ 100%
rest 3-5 minutes after each set
+
3 rounds, each for time:
20 unbroken heavy KB swings
10 unbroken chest to bar pull ups
5 burpees

Went with 176 on the front squat intervals, the sprints were done inside from the post to the far garage door with each interval consisting of 3 round trips. My times were 1:18, 1:24, 1:29
Went with 2 pood on part deux. Grip started failing on round 2 and 3 pull-ups so they weren't "unbroken." Times were 1:18, 1:26, and 1:34.

Gasseous

Snatch tech work, 15 min
AMRAP in in 12 minutes:
25 jumping pull-ups
20 DB push-press (30/20)

Snatch work was all PVC pipe action... but a good overview. Nabbed 10 rounds on the met-con rx'd. Jumps were all "go." The presses gave me a little run. Good gasser.

Weight: 177.9 fully clothed/after dinner

Home Again Home Again

A. 500m Row
B. 75 burpees
C. 50 ghd sit ups

1:28.8 on the row... PR! But crashed and burned on the burpees... 5:56. Did the sit-ups with an abmat cuz my low back was firing up. The weekend's three days of traveling might have had sumthing to do with that.
