Kick A Dog

A. Back Squat 1RM @ 3010

B. 85% of 1RM Back Squat x AMRAP @ 3010

Legs were done today. I blame my vagine. I tried 274 and nope. 264 and nuh-uh. 254 and not even close. Then tried 225 for part B and only nabbed 4. Gay.

Decided to do 10x100m run sprints after to try and redeem myself. Ran half in the back alley and half in the street on Dyer. Moved because some dude kept beating the dogs at the kennel for barking at me. Bastard. Kept all at 14 seconds.

Grantoff

One round for time:
15 kipping pull-ups
25 burpees
35 box jumps, 24/20"
45 KB swings, 1.5pd/1pd
55 calories rowed

8:39 broke up the kb swings, and failed mentally on the row... should have had a plan for the row.

Did some back squat after, worked up to 242x3 then tried 286x1 two different times (unsuccessfully.) I might be able to get that with fresh legs tho.

Did a mish mash of missed workout for the week... Warmed up with a quick row and jump rope combo, then some mobility shiz. Then:

Back Squat
10xbar
5x135
3x165
3x185
3x205
3x225
3x245 but did quick singles to keep from failing

Press/Push-Press
5xbar
3x95
2x115 strict, 1x115 push
3x135 push
3x145 push
2x145 push, failed on 3

Weighted Pull-Ups
Every minute, on the minute for 10 minutes: 3 reps at 35#,,, done and done

Got My Twin Glock 40's Cocked Back

Went to the 8:30a and did a shit ton of mobility work. Got the legs loose enough to do some squats, but still took it easy... did sets of three and worked up to 242lb. Did 3 sets of 5 muscle-ups and 3 handstand push-ups (no abmat) after. Would have liked to do more but ran out of time.

On a Pale Horse

Back Squat, 10x10

We could approach the 10 sets any way we wanted... we decided to go with a wave load scheme. My sets in kg were 70, 80, 90, 80, 90, 95, 90, 95, 97x6, and 95x7. Legs were done. My total  in lbs was 17,894... down from 19 sumthin had I completed my 2 failed sets.

Hey Neighbor

A. Back Squat: 5,5,5,5,5; rest 3 minutes

B2. 30sec Row Sprints; rest 3 minutes x 4 sets

b-uno. Done
b-dos. Kept the damper on high-7... pulled 176|171|169|168. Mediocrity is going to be the death of me.

Adducting My Frustration

A. Back Squat: 5,5,5,5,5; rest 3 minutes

B. Hang Power Clean: 3,3,3 - 80%; rest 2 minutes

C1. AMRAP Pull-Ups in 20 sec; rest 10 sec

C2. AMRAP Wall-ball shots in 20 sec; rest 10 sec x 3 sets

a. Rolled with a black band wrapped around my knees today for the squats. It was definitely harder than usual today, but I'm not sure how much was the band and how much was the weekend. Sets were 198, 208, 220, and 220 (didn't make it to the 5th set.)

b. On the cleans we were rushed so did a quick 154, 176, and 176. Wanted to do a set at 198 but did the third at 176 because my form was starting to slip. The third set was much better.

c. 16, 12, and 10 on pulls. 10, 9, an 9 on wall balls... 38 and 28 equals 66.

After I did 6x60m sled drags with 90lb then 4x60 with 135lb.

I also did 4x15 on the reverse hyper at 25, 50, 50, and 50.

Weight: 172.??

151 Proof

A. 1RM Split Jerk
B. 1 RM Back Squat

Crapsnaps! Felt groggy getting out of the sack this morning. Didn't think the feeling was gonna stick with me all day... but it did. Hips weren't listening to my brain at all, and I had NO intensity on my jerk. My best today was 186# and even that felt heavy. Similar results on squat. My best today was a lame 246#. Had to run to el bano in the middle of all this due to some mud butt. That didn't help things either. Did get to help big Jonathan on his squat technique though. Talked him to a 308# PR.
Did some double-unders after and surprised myself with 98 unbroken! That there be a PR. We'll see if I can duplicate it. I also upped my unbroken goal to 151 in honor of the number of blog posts today.
Talked to Spencer about the possibility of me over training since I had no fire in my belly today. I don't necessarily feel over trained and he agreed. Sooo going to keep my reverse-hyper and sled drag work volume up and let my hips/body catch-up.

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!

Larry

A. Back Squat, 1RM; rest as needed
B. 85% of A x AMRAP; rest 5 minutes before C
C. AMRAP kipping pull-ups x 1 set

120kg/264# today... a 4# PR. Sooo close to getting 123/270 up. Rolled with 224 on the AMRAP and squeezed out 20 reps... that's about a 4 rep PR from September. On pull-ups I repped out 46 and sneak my way onto the gym record board... that's a PR of 5 for me. Gonna need another 5 or so if I want to stay on there for any respectable amount of time.

Royal Berry Punch

A1. Back squat @ 30X0: 3,3,3,3,3; rest 1 min
A2. 20 unbroken KB swings w/ 1.5pd x 5 sets; rest 3 min
B1. 20 sec max DB Thrusters (45/30); rest 20 sec
B2. 60 sec max Double-Unders; rest 90 sec x 5 set

105kg was my best set of 3 at tempo... attempted 107 and got it twice. Kettlebells CHECK. My thruster sets were 11|9|10|9|10 rx'd. Double-unders were a bit sketch. On the first round I did all high singles, just over a hundred. On the remaining rounds I did sumthin like 33|53|42|33. Ye olde deltoids (anterior) got pretty fired up on this one.

Dis·in·gen·u·ous

A1. Back squat @ 20X1: 2-3 reps x 5 sets; rest 60 sec
A2. 5 weighted pull-ups x 5 sets; rest 2 minutes
B. Partnered sit-up med ball throws: 5 x 20, 20# ball; rest 30 sec b/t sets of 20
C. 50 DB push press anyhow, 45#

230# was my best x3, attempted 242# and only got it once... rolled with 33# on the pull-ups (no-kip). Knocked out the sit-ups and broke the DB push-presses into 5x10 sets with 30sec rest between.

On my own (after) I did 4 rounds of 24" box jumps and 88# farmer carries (2 trips per hand at maybe 30m?)... didn't time it. Then I knocked out 4 sets of 30 push-ups with 1min rest between. Also tried to do some double-unders but just. wasn't. feeling. it. It was as if I'd never seen a jump rope before.

Oh, and Carrie: chestal muscles are superawesomecoolrad ;)(I still can't post comments on your blog)

Sprints were 1:11, 1:12, and 1:18 (a train and a car got in my way). Did abmat sit-ups and knocked 100 instead. Also did some double-under work, got something like 5-6 sets of 50-60.

As Always

C. 3x20 medball sit-ups, 20lbs

a. 235 was my best load at legit tempo

c. Done and done

SupaStarr

Back Squat 1RM

Back Squat AMRAP 85% 1RM

This is a similar albeit heavier version of a WOD we did just a few weeks ago. I continue to have problems with my knees tracking in. Especially on the left side. However, I was able to get 260#...  a five pound PR.

That put me at  221# for the AMRAP. Decided to go with 225 and got 15 or 16 reps. I honestly can't remember what the final number was. I know I def met my goal of 15 but not sure which rep I failed on, 16 or 17. Got the stanky leg fo sho.

Did some adductor work that Bill Starr recommended in the CrossFit journal. I kept the rep scheme lower because of the AMRAP, but did 4x5 wide stance squats (with toes straight ahead) at 135. Load wasn't too taxing but definitely had a "neurological" feel to it. When I got home my lateral quads (vastus lateralus) were screaming at me which is pretty unsual... we'll see how the legs feel manana.

Tempo People, TEMPO

A1. Back squat @ 30X1: 3,3,3,3,3; rest 30 sec
A2. 5 Box jump AHAP; rest 180 sec x 5
B1. 10 ring dips @ 3111; rest 45 sec x 4-5
B2. AMRAP kipping pull ups; rest 45 sec x 4-5
C. Med ball sit-up toss x 10; rest 60 sec x 3

Dunno if it was the early WOD or the rep cadence but the squats today weren't feelin real good. Did working sets of 205, 215, 225, and 230x1(f) before running out of time. That last set was feeling ok but I paused a tad bit too long at the bottom and couldn't dig myself out. Used a 30" box with 45 and 35 plates stacked on top.

Ring dips and pull-ups I did rx'd but only got 3 full sets in. I stuck with 25 pull-ups per round.

Med-ball sit-ups were just silly... used a 20# ball.

Findin Jesus

Jerk-1RM

Back Squat
3x5, then AMRAP 75% 1RM

Hit a small 2lb PR on the jerk... 85kg/187lb. Kept hitting an "almost!" at 90/198. Next time I need to be faster (and lower) getting under the bar.

On back squat we did a few transition/warm-up sets then I did 90x5 and 95x5 before beginning the AMRAP (we were running out of time.) 75% of 255 be 191 so I put 87kg on the bar and did 24 of them bad-mama-jamas. Came forward on few reps and had to reset. Weaknesses/technique deficiencies were sooper obvious as the rep count got higher. Damn knees kept coming in.
