Training April 22, 2015


Last day of training before the MQ.  Body feels good and training has been great.  Let's hope it translate into some good performances this weekend.  At least, I know going in that I have done everything I can to prepare myself.

Clean (Full)
Build quickly to a heavy single in the 80-90% range
255 lbs.

I am not going to lie.  I felt really good today and thought I could hit 275 so I went for it.  I was wrong.  Good pulls, just slow elbows.

255 lbs.


For Time @ 90%
30 Wall Balls 20 lbs. (Unbroken, but a few no reps)
30 CTB Pull-Ups (10,5,5,5,3,2)
40 Alternating DB Snatches 60 lbs. 
30 Calorie Row
6:36

First the bad, no reps on wall balls.  Really?!?!  Watching the video, I think I might have been a little harsh on my judging, but I need to leave no doubt.  I have a few housekeeping things (wall ball accuracy, double under counting) I need to clean up.

Now, the good.  I am super please with my pull-ups.  Technique wasn't quite as good as I want, but I was able to gut check through some reps that I don't normally think I would get.  To get these done in 1:30 was a huge win for me.

The eh: the row was not stellar (1:35 total time and 1:21 pulling time).  I need to do a little better here.

We have only one 70 lbs. dumbbell at our gym so in order to have a fair competition with my workout partner, we both used 60 lbs. dumbbells for the snatches, but we did 40 instead of 30.
These were a little more unpleasant than I expected and felt like they were never going to end.


Rowing
8 sets
0:30 high aerobic effort / 0:30 easy

Kept the splits around 1:35-1:37.  Probably should have measured output by calories, but I did meters.  Each round was around 150 meters.
