Clean and Jerk, Sled Push

Today was short, because I trained a client and worked out with her sort of. I switched off doing C&J with her and sled push, but she did a metcon in between that. My days have gotten so busy that I need to work out whenever I can!

Weightlifting
Beg-Int; C&J Practice

3×3+1 (worked up to 100lbs then did 3 sets)

B) 
Sled Pull + Push x5
Push sled 20 yd’s
Rest :30
Pull sled 20 yd’s
rotate


we used 90lbs on the sled and prowler both. 

So since it's been about 3 months, I find myself now getting to the point where I don't need to log each day cause my progress has reached a kind of slow and steady phase. I am only gonna update from now on with my PRs that I hit and any other special things that happen along the way. I have really been neglecting my other blog, which I have had for almost 3 years now.

So on that note, see ya when I do something exciting!

Snatch, Power Clean, HSPU, Box Jump

Working on skills that I had issues with in the past. Like box jumps for example, I had some bad habits and figured this is a good opportunity to re-learn how to do them more efficiently. I used a smaller box but rebounded every rep. 16" felt easy!

Used 53lbs. Pulling a little early from the hang position, need to work on that

Russian Swings, Dubs, Row, Pull up

Today was good! It was a major cardio workout but I stayed consistent the whole time, did all reps rx and unbroken, and finished about 10 mins faster than the people who rx'd in the earlier classes. I only subbed the running with a row cause I am developing freakin shin splints!

11.15.2012

Push up, Lunge, Sit up

Push ups killed me on this one... it was hard keeping a good plank. Back/core is still kinda weak so anything with a lot of reps is challenging... Overall good though. Candlestick and pistols were pretty easy!

Push ups
Overhead Lunge (25lbs)
Chest to Quad Sit ups

10:42 Rx

Skill:

11.13.2012

Deadlift, Dubs, Russian Swing

Tried to use the 53lb kb for this but it was way too many reps. Scaled to use the 35lb instead. The deadlift I have no idea what my current max is, so I just went with a weight that felt comfortable. This would have been based on a max of 190, which I don't think I have yet. So basically I went too heavy haha

Conditioning - 10 Min AMRAP:
5 Deadlifts at 60% (115lbs)
30 Double Unders
30 Russian Swings (35)

finished 8 reps short of 4 rounds. booo I hate when that happens!

11.12.2012

Burpee Pull up, Squat Clean, Run

This was really hard... I DNF'd in the time cap (20 min) but I was glad that I did the burpee pull ups and my squat clean has improved. Even though I didn't Rx it, I was glad I could keep my chest up easier. The run was also pretty challenging but with only 2 months in, lots of things are still a challenge!

Skill Work: Strict Pull ups 5x2 (skinny red band)

Conditioning - 3 Rds:
15 Burpee Pull ups (had to scale to 10 after the first set)
10 Squat Cleans (53lbs)
400m Run

Time - finished everything except the last run, then got 31 reps of push press.

Garage WOD

Stuck at the house today so I did something in the garage. I love CF Football workouts cause they're usually short and heavy (my fave), so I put Aiden down for a nap and went for it. Well, he woke up right after I finished squatting so I took my rest time to go back and forth checking on him while I completed the rounds haha

Weightlifting: 5x5 Back Squat (75lbs)

Metcon - 7 Rounds:
1 Min Max distance on Airdyne (was supposed to be calories on the rower but I dont have one)
1 Min to complete 5 Push ups & 10 Russian Swings (53lbs)
*Score is distance (I got 2 Miles)

took me about 17 mins to complete this with the breaks I took for baby. I used the 53lb KB though! The best part is that it didn't feel that heavy  :D
