8:37 with 100 kilos and the fat-side 1 abmat... this was a fun one. Second round of deadlifts felt better than the first. Can't say the same thing for pull-ups. Gassed pull-ups is something I really need to work on. HSPU's I was able to stay with the one mat and rock-out 4's, 3's, and 2's.

After, did 15x reverse hypers at 0/25/50/60/70/80. Also did 2x13.5m yoke walks at 0(175)/355/399/443/443. Really had to focus on staying tight on that last set of yolk.

Hot Sott's

5 sets for highest load:

Power Snatch

+

Overhead Squat

+

Hang Snatch

+

Snatch

 

Did a nice kettlebell warm-up with goblet squats, unilateral overhead squats, and Sotts presses. Used a 26#. Also learned a new shoulder stretch using a racked barbell which really let me know how tight I am upstairs... especially in my left anterior delt. Also noticed my scalenes are tight as well.

On the barbell I did 88, 98, 110, and 120 before running out of time. The 120 is a 5lb PR for this complex. Form felt fairly good today. Started coming forward on the heavier loads when I didn't be sure to get full extension thru the knees and hips. Grip held up ok.

After, we did a quick little 20sec all out AirDyne followed by 20 AQAP lateral ball slams. We only did 2 rounds before class was over.

On my own I did 10x single "perfect" snatches at 88lb just to focus on technique. Then did some muscle-ups and handstand push-ups. Did 5x mu's and 5x hspu's for 2 rounds. My first set of hspu's I did unconsecutive with NO abmat! That's a personal best.

Finally, did 25yd (I measured it) yoke walks 2x with an empty yoke, then 6x with 180.

 

 

*really feeling the damage from yesterday's back squats, especially in my adductors and glutes. that knee band really works!

Coulda Shoulda Woulda

5 minutes of Double-Unders

5 minutes of 95 lb Clean and Push Jerk

3 minutes of Double-Unders

3 minutes of 95 lb Clean and Push Jerk

1 minute of Double-Unders

1 minute of 95 lb Clean and Push Jerk

Did 225du's and 22cj's in 5

Did 110du's and 12cj's in 3

Did 30+du's and 6cj's in 1... Called it 360 and 40 at 45kg.

After I did some 3rep cleans. I started with 60 kilos and worked my way up to 90. My final set at 90/198 was a PR and I was able to knock out all 3 reps (although not touch and go by any means.) I'm also glad to say that my final rep at 198 was my best. The first two I shot down too low, with my hips forward, and both feet a bit wide... I guess to make up for lack of speed. I felt the error and regrouped for the final with a great result. The bar seemed to be flying plenty high today. I'd like to work more on speed and consistency on stickin the landing/receiving the bar. 

Did 12x reverse hypers at 25/50/60/70 and did 2 there and backs with the yoke loaded with 4x45's after each set. Need to look-up some scoop on the yoke to make sure I'm getting everything I can out of the exercise.
Upper back is still tweaked from friday's accident. It's very positional though. Still rolling/lx balling the heck out of it.

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.
