Week in Review

I didn't post at all last week. There were a few lifts of note, but I missed two days including First Friday. I'll post some quick stats and two pictures of the week's highlights.

Saturday, October 3;

We were given the option of an interval workout or a lifting WOD. Since I missed First Friday, I went with the lifting. That in itself was not stupid, but lifting 80% of my bodyweight WAS stupid.
Here's what the WOD looked like:
For time:
Clean & Jerk Latter 10, 9, 8... 1
Chest to bar Pullup Latter 10, 9, 8... 1
Total: 43:49

I did rounds 10-4 with 104lbs. My max clean is about 122lb and my max jerk is around 115lb. It may have been smarter to have done the complete workout at 75% BW or maybe 70%. With the Hopper Challenge in my sights I wanted to push myself. By round 3 I was so smoked that I failed 3 attempts and dropped 20lbs to finish the workout. Rounds 3-1 were done at 84lbs. This workout was seriously humbling and left me with the nastiest bar hickey (it didn't help that I was wearing my necklace for the first half of the WOD.

Friday, October 2;
Rest Day (this was an unplanned rest day... two margaritas put me on my butt)

Thursday, October 1;

WOD
Strict Press
5, 5, 5, 5, 5
maxed at 70lbs.. may have been able to go heavier, but I was still sore from FGB.. and wasn't fighting for it this morning.

Wednesday, September 30;
Rest Day (planned)

Tuesday, September 29;

WOD
Deadlift
3, 3, 3, 3, 3
Did 205 for 3 PR
1 rep, two times 215 (single rep max PR)

I was stuck at 190lbs for years with this list. Something has FINALLY clicked. I am pulling big lifts (for me) here. I couldn't be more happy, and I actually enjoy doing deadlift days now.
I think I really just liked lifting a bar with 4 big wheels on it!!! Bam!

Monday, September 28;

A light day of lifting
AMRAP in 20 minutes
15 weighted situps
15 pushups
30 double unders

Total: 5 rounds

Weighted Pullups
pulled body weight plus 30lbs.. I don't know what's happened on this moove for me. I have done a BW + 35lb pull. I havent' had it in me since then. I'd like to get a 40lb pull.

I call it my Crossfit barbell kiss. It flipping hurts, and it's looking nastier every day.

I now have a bar hickie from yesterday's clean madness. My wife is skeptical.

Sean said...

@Mark: well it couldn't have been Chad, he's outta town...!

The bar hickie madness is spreading. If I were a spouse I'd be VERY suspicious of all of these "barbell" accidents happening lately.
