July 25, 2012, Wednesday

10 min MU practice
+
EMOM as long as you can keep pace of
5 pullups
10 pushups
15 squats

Notes:
I saw a video Khalipa did on MU progression. I worked on a few of the things he talked about and I think they will really help.
+
I was disappointed in my performance. I was doing great for the first 9 rounds. I had about 15 seconds rest. My pushups died out so quickly and as soon as they died out I couldn't keep the pace. I failed on the 12th round.

Extra:
10---1
KB 35#
box jumps

Notes:
3:57
Was pretty happy with this one. Best time at the gym.

A. Snatch balance - build to heavy single
B. High Hang Squat Snatch from blocks - build to 1RM
C. Front Squat @ 13X1; build slowly to 150 for a single
D. Snatch Deadlift @ 32X1; 3x3 @145#

Notes:
A. 55, 65, 75, 85# Failed 95# five times and never stuck it.
I was mentally defeated before I started these. These have become unbelievably frustrating. I can pop the bar up and then squat, but doing both movements at the same time just isn't happening. It's a horible way to start a workout. 
B. 55, 65, 75, 85, 95#
These went pretty well. I was happy with 95. I tried for 100, but couldn't get it. 
C. 65, 85, 95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 140, 145, 150#
I really tried to focus on staying down for a full 3. I was excited that I got 150 considering I couldn't get it last week. It wasn't pretty, but I got it. 
D. These were ok. 


The classes were working on 1RM power clean. My pulls from blocks felt really good this weekend, so I was curious if I could get 150 on my clean. Between sets I jumped on a bar that was set up at 150, and sure enough I got it! And just for good measure I split jerked it up. Woo hoo for PRs!

AirDyne 10 min @ 50%

Notes:
A. 130, 135, 140#  These were tough, but felt pretty good. Failed on the third rep on 135# due to a bad pull, but easily got it on the next try.
B. 110, 115, 120#  These felt ok.
+
12:29
I really didn't think I was going to be able to do this, so I'm happy with finishing. I got all the thrusters unbroken, but I took my time making sure I was set and ready for each rep. They were rough, but I finished them.  The runs were a little slower than I'd like. My lower back tightened up a little towards the end.
+
Snatch balance wasn't great.
High hang snatches were ok.

B1. 35# kb/arm  I could barely get 6 reps. These were tough!

B. Power Clean and Jerk  2 EMOMx10
C. Dead lift @51X1 ; 3x3; rest 3min
D. Gobelt Squats @ 20X1 - 75 reps w/53#

Notes:

A. 125, 130, 135, 135, 140#
After the week starting off bad, today made me feel better. These felt pretty good. I had a few fails, but I felt like it was bad technique and not the weight. I fail felt like a bad pull. Another one I landed with my feet too wide and couldn't get out of the bottom of the squat. I almost stayed with 135# for the last set, but decided to go up. I got 140 without a fail. I was pumped.


B. 110#  These got a little sloppy at the end due to fatigue, but other than that they felt ok.
C. 175, 180, 185#
The pull up didn't hurt today, but the 5 sec down was rough on my back.
D. Did this is 10 sets of 7 plus 5. That is a lot of goblet squats...

And....a little handstand walking!

A. First set - failed on 75,85 & 95#. I don't know what my deal is with these lately. It is SO FRUSTRATING!
Second set I did 9 reps at 75#. These felt decent, so for the third set I attempted the 75, 85, 95. 85 & 95 were ugly and full of failed attempts. I had a small break down.


B. 70# x4, 75# x3, 80# x3  These were ok
C. 145# on the first set was tough. I tried twice to get get 150# on the second set and failed. I got 145# for the second and third set, but just barely. (After watching the video, it was more like 1-2 seconds at the bottom)
D. These were ok.
