piddle day

took a rest day yesterday (Christmas) so I decided today would be an active rest day...

went to the depot, 10 dead hang pull ups, 2X15 GHD situps, 2X15 back extensions, 45 sec handstand hold, 6 HSPU, 30 second handstand hold, 10 dead hang pullups, 5 40# pull ups, 1 70# pull up...and a few double unders.

did a few 40# db cleans and snatches with each arm.

stretched out pretty good and called it a day!

deadlift 1-10-2-20-3-30

warmed up with some pull ups, stretching, & 10 @ 132, 5 @ 225.

1 - 340
10 - 275
2 - 325
20 - 200
3 - 300
30 - 165

1605 total weight.

probably could've gone heavier on the 165, but I noticed I wasn't keeping my back straight on the last few reps. Nice workout. I'll be interesting to see how I feel tomorrow after yesterday's front squats and today's deadlift. Probably have some sore legs.

front squat heaven

new WOD...not sure how to approach it. Did as Rx, sets of:

1 - 185#
10 - 145#
2 - 195#
20 - 135#
3 - 205#
30 125#

could've gone heavier. 3 @ 205 was tough, but I should've started heavier on the lower reps and maybe tried the set of 10 at 155 or 165. All sets unbroken (never set the bar down)

pull ups and HSPU

Pull ups (strict) and HSPU:

21-18-15-12-9-6-3

84 pull ups...84 HSPUs.

pull ups strict - no kipping, until set of 6, then kipped all of those. Used band for assistance when needed (partially in sets of 18,15,&12) to keep moving.

HSPU done on paralletes with band assistance...tried for full range of motion, it's amazing how hard even the band assisted HSPUs got very quickly. I did a few against the wall, without bands, and the last 3 sets with bands but no paralletes.

Time 33:01

I think my shoulders and back will be sore tomorrow. I'm waiting to hear from Doc about my foot. Think I either have a deep stone bruise or stress fracture from last weeks 5k...

another new one...sounded easy. Big surprise!

Complete five rounds of:

  • On the rings, lower from an inverted hang, slowly, with straight body and arms, 7 reps
  • 15 Ring Push-ups...rings about 8" off the ground.
Move SLOWLY and methodically attempting perfect execution

For the first 3 rounds I lowered as slowly as I could, far from keeping a straight body. My body was more and more bent, and I fell faster and faster with each rep. I subbed out 7 skin the cats for the final 2 rounds...trying to stay slow and controlled.

The ring push ups were a challenge and I tried to maintain good range of motion on all reps

5k...not today.

went to the depot with plans of PRing a 5k on the treadmill. Warmed up with pull ups, jump rope, some ghd situps and stretching. Got on the treadmill and walked/jogged about 1/4 mile. Reset treadmill and took off.

I made it a little over .6 mile and my toes started hurting from my FiveFingers. So I stopped the treadmill, put on my shoes and got back on. Ran about another 1/4 mile then began alternating b/t running on a 2 - 5 degree incline and walking up a steep incline, beginning at 15 degrees and reducing gradually from there. Ended up going 20 minutes (including shoe changing time)...just didn't have it mentally to run today.

Did a few pull ups, 2 bar muscle ups, some stretching, a 50+ second handstand hold, and 5 HSPUs.

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

new one

run 800m
30 hip/back extensions
30 ghd situps
30 hip extensions
30 knees to elbows
30 back extensions
30 sit ups

time 19:48

800m (actually .5 mile) time was 3:07...could've pushed harder but started off a little slower than I finished.

had to take a few breaks during sets of back work...my lower back gets tight!

clean and split jerk

1-1-1-1-1-1-1

warmed up with set of 10 pullups, 10 ring dips, 5 ring dips, 5 OHS squats, stretching, jump rope, and 3 muscle ups.

145, 155, 155, 160, 150, 165, 155

all lifts good. the 165 ended up being more of a clean and press, so I dropped weight to 155 and went for better form. I did 5 reps of split jerks from the rack position, concentrating on getting under the bar.

cashed out with some weighted ring dips...5 @ 20#, 4 @ 30#.
