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.

Sled drags today were 8x60yds at 115#. Reverse hypers were 10x and I did sets of  0|25|50|60|70lb.

Good (HARD) Friday

Quarter Gone Bad

5 rounds for max reps of:
15sec, 135# Thrusters
45sec, Rest
15sec, 50# Weighted Pull-Ups
45sec, Rest
15sec, Burpees
45 sec, Rest

Rolled 62kg/136.4lb on thrusters and 24kg/53lb on pull-ups... 88 total. Think the break down was: 5,5,9|6,5,9|4,4,9|3,3,9|4,4,9.

I hit the same rep count that I did the last time I did this WOD (about a year ago), but I used more weight sooo I'm inclined to call it a PR although I'm still not happy with today's result.  Especially round 4... on one of the thrusters I caught the bar with my pinkies UNDER the bar and had to drop the barbell and reset. No excuse for the pull-ups on that round. Definitely want to try to keep 5 and 5 across the board next time and get into the mid-90's. On burpees it would be nice to get 10, but I don't think I can go much faster while keeping full ROM.

After, I did 10x50yd (a car was parked in the way of 60yd) sled drags with 135#. This is the heaviest I've gone at this distance and I felt it. Also did a quick 2x20 on the reverse hyper with no weight just to get loose.

Turning Up the Volume

A1. Deadlift @ 20X1: 3,3,3,3,3; rest 1 minute
A2. AMRAP HSPU (-1); rest 2 minutes x 5 sets
B. 10 minutes to find max box jump
C. 100 Med-ball Sit-ups with a partner

a1. Working sets were 286, 296, 308, 318, and 323. Focused on form and am happy to report that we kepts its tight although no PR. In due time. In due time.
a2. Went ahead and rolled with the low side of 1 abmat... was able to do 7, 6, 6, 5, and 5. Did 4 crown to crown after as well.
b. Didn't get to keep going due to time constraints, but was able knock-out 49.25" without failing
c. Done and done with a 20#

After I did 5 alternating sets of reverse hypers and sled drags. Reverse hypers were sets of 10 at 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90lbs. The first 3 rounds of drags I did at 135 and alternated going forwards and backwards. The final 2 rounds I did all forward with 157lb.
Finally, I did an alternating tabata with double-unders and push-ups. Not sure on all my set numbers but I stayed at 10 pushes for the last few intervals, and on du's 22 and 34 were repeating values for some reason. Today it helped to keep my feet touching one another during the du's.

Stronger... Faster?

Deadlift, 100kg/225lb

Handstand Push-Ups

Well, I did it... 45 handstand-push-ups with 1 abmat. That's a biggie for me. Unfortunately it took nearly 15 minutes. But who cares, today was still a win because when I first pranced my happy ass into this gym I couldn't do a single handstand push-up with or without a mountain of abmats. THANK YOU CFDC. Still lots of work to be done, but we're making headway. Did all the deads as rx'd. Felt pretty tight today after all the reverse hyper work yesterday.
Did 10x60m sled drags with 90lbs. Then did 3 rounds of 20 flutter kicks (4 count), 20 leg raises, and 20 ab-wheel rollouts. Wanted to do knees-to-elbows but my hands are still pretty torn up.        

Cobwebs

AMRAP in 20 minutes:

7 Deadlifts, 1.5 x Bodyweight

7 Pull-Ups

Sittin at 170# bw so shot for 255#. Actually loaded 256.4#. Goal was 10 rounds and I did 10 rounds. Prolly could have done a few more, but wanted to really focus on dead technique and stay tight. Also, I wore my Chucks today just to feel what it's like to be flat footed, liked it much better than my Brooks. Did all pull-ups unbroken. Got a few kudos on form post WOD and that's fine by me.

After I did 8x50m sled drags with 135, all forward. Had to lean into these a bit but was able to maintain normal gait from the waist down. Also did 5x5 reverse hypers at 45# as well as 5x5 bench press starting at 60kg, 65kg, 70kg, 75kg, and 80kg. These felt good for having not done them in such a long time. Kinda felt like I was knockin the cobwebs outta my shoulder joints. Ran out of time and didn't get to stretch. Boo. Good day though.  

Proper Like

"Helen"
400m Run
21 Kettlebell Swings, 53#
12 Pull-Ups

8:56 today... surprised to still get sub-9 with the gimp back. 2nd and 3rd rounds of swings were done 13 and 8. Pulls were unbroken. Run was gimpy. Felt pretty good after, hope that means I COULD HAVE PR'd if things were moving/feeling proper like.

Did 8x60m walking sled drags after with 90#. Then did 6x40m walking backwards at 90# as well. Both fwd and bkwd lit my hips on fire but low back went unaffected. I also did 4x10 sets of reverse hypers with 25#, and yoke walked after each set with 180# loaded. The rev hypers lit my back up around rep 7 today. Finally, did tabata abmat sit-ups touching the post each time... count was sumthin like 14-13-13-13-12-12-12-12. Stretched a bit after as well.
