Tuesday August 27, 2013

Still nursing a sore adductor muscle on my left side so being careful not to aggravate it. Took an unplanned rest day yesterday but I'm feeling pretty good today. Just a bit worried about how these front squats will go.

A. Front Squat, work to a heavy triple. Do this in limited sets. So for instance, do not do 4 heavy sets of 3, do one to two heavy sets of three. Build up quickly!
     - Didn't push it with these. 2 sets at 225# and call it a day. Didn't feel bad though. Just being careful.

B. Strict Press @ 20x1, 2-3 repetitions x 5 sets, rest 3 minutes between sets.
     - Built up to 145# but only 2 reps. I still feel like I just never get better at these. Stuck at same weights for last 5 years, lol! So frustrating.

C. On the Minute, Every Minute x 12 Minutes of the following:
3 Power Cleans @ 155 lbs
4-5 Chest to Bar Pull Ups
*Goal under 35 seconds every set*

     - No trouble with these. Every round was about 18-19 seconds. My weakest link on this was my grip on the CTB pull-ups. Just can't get comfortable and always feel like I'm going to tear. I've tried lots of chalk, less chalk, false grip, no false grip. Don't know what my problem is.

** Just for fun

50-40-30-20-10
Double Unders
Sit-Ups

- Time was 5:00 flat. Pretty sure that this is a PR. I am almost positive I've never broken 5:00 before. Double unders were all unbroken and tried to crush the sit-ups since that's where all the cycle time is in this workout.
