A. Snatch on the minute, every minute x 3 repetitions @ 115 lbs x 10 minutes. Concentrate on technique.
- These went fine except that my left shoulder was absolutely on fire my first few sets. I was feeling major impingement in my RC...no idea why. For some reason, it got better as I did more sets. I guess it loosened up.
B. Overhead Squats @ 30x1, 3-4 repetitions x 5 sets, rest 3 minutes between sets.
- Worked up to 200# for 4!! I was surprised that I was able to do this and I actually felt like I had more in me. Really, really happy with this.
C. Back Extensions, hands on chest, 12-15 repetitions x 5 sets, rest 2 minutes between sets.
D. 50 Handstand Push Ups for time:
Last time was over 12:00 minutes.
- Well I still suck....but I guess I suck a little less than last time. Time was 10:17. I actually blazed (well, for me) through the first 25 reps in under 4:00 and was feeling decent. Started to fatigue and fail reps after 30. That 30 rep threshold is where the wheels usually come off for me.
- If I were to guess what helped me improve my time, it was breaking sets into 2 reps and not going to failure too soon.
- This was of course pretty humbling having to take an eternity to do 50 HSPU's. Especially after watching guys my age at the Games bang out 30 in :45 !!! It's kind of good though because it lights a fire under my ass to train harder if I want to have any prayer of competing at that level.
