Wednesday October 24th, 2012

I thought I was going to be a bit beat up from yesterday's workout but I actually felt really good this morning. Very happy with the way I recovered.

A. Squat Clean & Jerk Cluster, 1.1.1 x 3 sets
     - Weights used were 185, 195, 205. I did OK on these. I am still really looking forward to the day when these weights feel "light"!!

B1. Front Squat @ 20x1, 2 reps x 10 sets, Rest 1:00
     - I feel like I should have been doing 225# for these but I thought that I would get worn out by the # of sets and the short rest in between. I stuck with 215# and it felt just right.

B2. Muscle-Up Clusters, 2.2 x 10 sets, Rest 1:00
     - I wasn't worried about the # of reps per round but I was wondering how I would do with the overall volume of these. I typically have not been doing more than 30 muscle-ups in a single training session. I didn't have too much trouble with these but in later rounds I had to really focus on keeping my elbows in.
     - My shoulders felt a little dodgy when I started these but loosened up as I went along.

C1. Hang Power Snatch @ 105#, 10 reps - touch and go x 3 sets
     - These were kind of tough but I got through them OK.

C2. Pull-Up Clusters, 6.6.6 x 3 sets
     - Tried to do these all with a straight legged, toes pointed gymnastics kip. No butterfly pull-ups for me today. Especially since this workout was "all out assault on shoulders day"!!

Well earned recovery day tomorrow. Plan to do some stretching, soft tissue release and maybe ride the recumbent bike (while reading a magazine - like 99% of the people at the fitness center where I work) !!
