Thursday 8.3.12

@6pm

I’d had about 5 double shots in the form of espresso and piccolos so I was pretty amped and thought why the hell not. It also gave me a chance to test myself and let the Adapt crew what to watch out for.

CF Games Open WOD 12.3 – 18min AMRAP:

  • 15 box jumps
  • 12 push-press @ 52kg
  • 9 toes 2 bar

— Result: 8 rounds + 15 box jumps + 9 push-press (312) — was after 9 rounds and probably would have got it had I not wasted so much time trying to breathe on box jumps.

@6.30am

A: 12min snatch practice: worked up to 40kg focusing on hips meeting the bar

B: weighted pull-up: 40kg (just – that pronated grip smoked me…)

C: for time: 30-20-10:

  • pull-ups
  • DB push-press

— Result: 4:10 – video on picasaweb

Monday 5.3.12 – via Outlaw

A: Back Squat:

  • 5@
  • 3@135kg
  • 2@145kg
  • 1@155kg [F]
  • was supposed to 1@95%, 1×[email protected]%  which whould have been 162.5kg but after the fail for a single @ 155kg I didn’t bother.
Also I’m not sure how you were supposed to PB back squat after the previous days deadlift WOD – I was still quite smoked.

B1: 4×8 Strict Weighted Supinated Pullups @ 10kg // rest 60 sec.
B2: Front Squat:

  • 5@
  • 5@
  • 5@
  • 5@

C: 15 Min AMRAP of:

5/3 Muscle Ups
15 Dumbbell Hang Squat Clean to Thrusters 40/25#
30 UB Double-Unders

D: 3×15 Reverse Hypers – 30kg, rest 45 sec

Sunday 4.3.12 – via Outlaw

A: 15 minutes to establish a 1RM Clean and Jerk.

— Result: worked up to 90kg but this was pretty dirty. More of a push press.

B: For time:

  • 50 C2B Pullups
  • 15 Deadlifts @ 150kg
  • 40 Pushups (hand release)
  • 10 Deadlifts @ 150kg
  • 30 Pushups (hand release)
  • 5 Deadlifts @ 150kg
  • 20 Pushups (hand release)
  • 25 C2B Pullups

— Result: Damn this was heavy. I haven’t done heavy deadlifts, let alone deadlifts in this format for months. The first deadlift was a hell of a shock after the first set of pull-ups and hand release push-ups. I battled this out with Rosey and even though I was down to singles for the last set of C2B pull-ups I managed to beat Rosey and get 20:12.
