Lately, I've just felt like I'm in a rut where I'm always tired and feel like I can't get enough sleep during the week, I'm stressed at work and I'm just kind of bored with the monotony of going to the gym and doing the same thing week in and week out. As a result of all this, sometimes I don't approach my training with the right mindset. One thing I can say about myself is that I'm consistent. I cannot say the last time I trained less than 5 days in a given week. However; the price I pay for never taking a break is that I get burned out like the way I'm describing. I need to figure a way to back off just enough so that I can get my head back in the game!
A. Light Snatch Work
- Did a few sets of muscle snatches, working up to 3 reps @ 115
- Finished with 3 sets of Snatch grip D/L working up to 185
B. 3 sets @ 90% of:
15 pull ups
15 push press @ 115 lbs
15 lateral burpees
- I feared that this would be a brutal WOD. It was. My first set was decent. Then I found myself breaking up the Push Presses and even dropping the barbell several times in rounds 2 and 3. Very disappointed in how this went. I am really terrible at Push Presses and need lots of work here. Honestly, I was even sloppy on some of my reps and probably did not lock out fully.
- Time: 6:49
50-40-30-20-10 of:
airdyne cals
double unders
wall balls
- This one sounded long but other than that did not sound so bad. However; I was still pretty torn up from the first WOD. I pictured myself getting through the WB's unbroken but it was really not even close. My form was all over the place. I threw a couple airballs, caught the ball awkwardly several times and smacked myself in the face like a George Foreman left hook! I rode the airdyne at a pretty lazy pace in hopes of not dying on the Wall balls but they were still real tough. Only got through the last 2 rounds unbroken. Double Unders were easy though.
- Time: 21:17
