The workings of a bipolar mind.

Saturday 090829

Five rounds for time of:
95 pound Power snatch, 15 reps (65lbs)
Run 400 meters

Time: 23:59

Wow did this one suck today. Mainly because it is so hot out and it was only 10 in the morning. It’s noon now and in the 100’s. Blah. Once I get some food digested I’m going to hit the pool for some laps. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Oh and by the way, I love doing these Power Snatches! I really love the flow of it.

Sunday:
Rest day

Monday:
BETTY
5 rounds for time:
12 push press 135/ 95
20 box jumps 24?/20?

Time: 21:11

So I really don’t like box jumps and was going to use the 20" box, because the black (24") box was really just scary for me. (yeah, I know) But Jamee (coach) pushed me to do the black box and I’m glad she did. I cleared it no problem through all 5 rounds. Used 75# for push press.

Thursday
Rest

Friday 090828

Overhead Squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps

45: 55: 65: 70: 55

So I didn’t expect to get any insane numbers here. I’ve only done the ohs once before this. I have no flexibility in my shoulders so that’s something I really need to work on. I attempted 75lbs but my squats sucked and I could feel it in my back so I just went back to 55. These are really hard on the wrists. Worse then cleans.

"Nate" ~ modified

AMRAP in 20 minutes:

8 pull ups (kips)
8 dips (bench)
4 pike push ups
8 kb swings (44lbs)

7 rounds + 8 p/u & 8 dips. I had to switch to jumping pull ups in the 5th round because my hands were so raw and I reopened 2 blisters. I had no grip strength left in me at all,still sore from the last 2 days workout on top of it. It was really one of my worst workouts. My last "Nate" workout, I had 12 rounds but I only did jumping pull ups and used a 26lb KB. So definitely have made improvements, even if it’s not in rounds. All I can say is I hope the next workout doesn’t involve pull ups. My hands need to heal.

Tuesday 090825

Complete as many rounds as possible 20 minutes of:
95 pound Thruster, 5 reps
95 pound Hang Powercleans, 7 reps
95 pound Sumo Deadlift High-pull, 10 reps

I got in 6 rounds using 65lbs. Same as last time. If you want serious shoulder burn, this is the workout. I’m disappointed I didn’t go up in weight or rounds.

"Cindy"
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

12 Rounds and 2 new blisters, not to mention I tore open my other 2. Hands are hurting today and I’m really sore. I did kips for pull ups. They’re getting stronger and stronger.

Last Cindy I got in 15 rounds but with jumping pull ups.

Walking Lunge 100 ft.
6 Pull-ups

Time: 27:02  (kipping pullups)

So when Holly and I first started, we thought 100 lunges for 100ft. I was kinda iffy about it, and during the first round when we were at about 30 lunges into it I had to ask. Is this right? I mean there’s only 12 inches in a foot and during a lunge your spreading at least 3-4 ft so it cant be 100 lunges. So at around 50 we decided to stop and measure. Turns out, 100ft is about one and a half circles around the room, which was only about 37 lunges. We let the clock keep going while we were doing the measurements so we shaved off 2 minutes from our time. Though I really think it took us 10 minutes to measure, not 2.

Oh, and I had my cherry popped tonight….well my blister cherries (kipping)……you perves, what were you thinking!!  :rolleyes:

For time:
150 Wallball shots, 20 pound ball (used 14)
Time: 11:15

So I really do not like wallballs. I mean I like them about as much as I do running. I almost didn’t go in tonight just because of this workout. Wallballs are really hard for me, but I went. My time was a lot better than I thought it would be. I was expecting at least 20 minutes.

Tuesday 090818

Push Press 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

105lbs!!! Yeah, pretty happy with that number. I didn’t try for 110 because I could feel it in my back with the 105, so I left it at that.

The last few days workouts have been pretty easy, which means……….something brutal is coming.
