AMRAP 12 Minutes of the following:
7 Power Snatches Unbroken @ 75/45
30 Double Unders
+

     - Pretty sure I got at least 10 rounds + 7 snatches plus a few more D/U's. Snatches gave me no trouble at all. D/U's had a lot of misses between 30-40 which sucked!

Rest 12 Minutes
+
AMRAP 12 Minutes of the following:
6 Deadlifts @ 185/135
8 Lateral Burpees
10 Box Jumps(Repetitive or Step Down)

     - Box Jumps have been killing me lately. This WOD was no different. I moved through the D/L's and Burpees just fine. Was dog slow on the BJ's however. Did all step down. Score was 8 rounds + 15 but I can't swear to it. I lost count late in the workout.

Monday January 27, 2014

A. Snatch Pulls @ 110%, 1 rep x 10 minutes, on the minute, every minute.
     - Worked with 205#. Feel like I lacked timing and explosiveness on these
B. Quickly build to a 90% of your best Snatch. 10 Minutes.
     - Meh. I continue to struggle with Squat Snatches. I hit 170 on my first attempt but failed at 175 and did not re-attempt. Something is just off and I need an entire 2 hour training session doing nothing but snatches to fix whatever is wrong.

C. Quickly build to 90% of your best Clean and Jerk. 10 Minutes.
     - Worked to 245. Didn't feel all that solid on these today but I'll take it.

D. 3 Sets of the following:
Row 500 Meters
9 Clean and Jerks @ 165/115 lbs
3-5 Muscle Ups
Rest 4 Minutes between sets
     - Oh man, these were not pretty!
     - First round: about 1:35 on the row. 9 reps C&J dropped every rep. Got 4 muscle ups
     - Second Round: About a 1:40 row.C&J's dropped every rep. Got 3 Muscle ups
     - Third round: 1:45 row, 3 muscle-ups

After a few minutes rest did a set of 5 M/U's without much trouble. Amazing how much harder these are when you're gassed!

After an emotionally taxing weekend and a long-ass car ride I needed to head to the gym for some stress relief! So, I completed yesterday's scheduled workout


10 Sets of the following @ 90%:
5 Chest to Bar Pull Ups
15 Wall Balls
35 Double Unders
Rest 1 Minute between sets
     - Did pretty good on these, can't really complain. Sets were mostly about a minute. There were a few rounds where I messed up on D/U's that were probably more like 1:05-1:10. CTB's were slow because I can't butterfly them...yet!

+
5 Sets of the following:
30 Seconds of Deadlift @ 135/95
30 Seconds of Lateral Burpees
30 Seconds of Box Jumps
Rest 90 seconds between sets
     - Not gonna lie, these sucked!! I got 25 Deadlifts in round one and just about killed myself on the Burpees and Box Jumps! All other rounds I backed off my pace and got about 17 D/L's. Burpee rounds were 12 reps and box jumps...well, box jumps were just a complete shit show! I hit 10 most rounds which is dog slow. Went all out in last round and still only got 13.

Monday January 20, 2014

Not a good training day overall. Worked out at 6AM (all by myself!!) and just couldn't shake the cobwebs off. Felt tired and weak today for some reason.

A. Above Knee Snatch @ 80%, 1 rep x 8 sets, rest 1:30 between sets.
     - Worked to 170# (all power snatches today). Had some misses where my timing was just off.
B. Above Knee Power Clean + Split Jerk @ 80%, 1 rep x 8 sets, rest 1:30 between sets.
     - All set with 205#. No misses but some early sloppiness on both the clean and the jerk. Was dialed in better by the 8th set.
C. Close Grip Bench Press, 1 rep @ 80% x 8 sets, rest 30 seconds between sets.
     - All sets at 195
D1. Row 25 Seconds @ 90% x 6 sets, rest 15 seconds.
D2. 2-3 Unbroken Muscle Ups x 6 sets, rest 1:30 between sets.
     - Decided to work one of my weaknesses so did M/U's with no false grip (which I'm horrible at!!!). These tend to expose my lack of explosiveness in my kip and today was no different. I had some unbroken sets but for the most part I was failing on the 2nd or 3rd rep. Just need to practice these more. I am much better using false grip but I also know that this is a less efficient technique.

Tried to work some Butterfly CTB pull-ups at the end but it just wasn't happening today!!!
