Wednesday August 18, 7am

For weight, 7 rounds of 7 sets of:
1 power clean
1 front squat on box

65, 67.5, 70, 72.5, 75, 77.5, 80

Wow, I may have started a little heavy. Thought I couldn't lift more than 77.5 for my last set. Sat around and channelled Chopper and decided to HTFU, and lifted 80 for my last round.

It was supposed to be minimal rest within each round, pausing only to regrip, but towards the last rounds, I was pausing for a few breaths between some reps.

Glad I got this done.

Felt very drained right from when I left my house on my bike. Did not eat before this work out. Cried a little. Finished this.

The end.

Monday August 16

Strength:
Bench
1-1-1-1 (bonus)
85, 95(f), 90(f), 87.5

Jesse watched my 85 (which felt great) and told me to go to 95, which went to far south. The 90lb lift head east! The 87.5 was good, though Jesse told me I was pressing up and back toward my head, rather than straight up vertically.

WOD:
Foundations 3 workout
12min AMRAP
50 skips
10 front squats
50m farmers carry, 2x24kg kettlebells
5 & 1/3 rounds

(compare to 4 & 2/3 rounds in January, with 33lb bar for 5 of the squats and PVC for the rest, and 2x8kg kettlebells)

Jesse videoed my squats, and had me watch my knees shooting forward at the bottom, way in front of my toes. He suggested I work on some box squats in open gym. Also, I was going significantly deeper than neccessary.

Friday 13th August

Skills:
Hang power snatch
worked on this with wood plates on the little bar, so 40.5lb. It felt good, but our coach took a video, and you can see my arms pulling really early, before my hips and knees extend, so I'm going to work on that.
I pulled one or two at 53lb, which was fine but was bothering my wrist, so I just worked with the bar for a few, concentrating on opening the hips and shrugging before bending the arms.
It was so great to see the video, awesome feedback.

WOD:
"The Volkswagen"
21-15-9
Bench press, 60lb (RX: bodyweight, ha!)
Pullups (purple/black band)
9:57

I really like this combo. I got frustrated on pullups a couple times, when my nose/mouth was at the bar, but I knew I couldn't count that rep! I think I also did a couple extra, when I lost count in the 15 set.

Good times.

Thursday August 12
Open gym

Went in to do some sets of 5 of OHS and front squat. Only did one set of 5 OHS at 33lb, because it really bothers my wrist. I'll have to work this more often, as well as my wrist rehab.
Worked 8 sets 5 of front squat; 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 90, 95, 100. New 5rm.

Felt like my eyes were gonna pop out, and my felt kinda like I might black out on the final reps of the last 2 sets. Too much holding my breath?

Wednesday August 11, 5:30

Strength:
Banded box squats @ 55% 1rm
75lbs, red bands
6 x 2

I subbed pushups for wall balls, since me knee decided to be all puffy and swollen and weird.

163 reps (2 pullups off finishing third round)

Also to note, I went in to the workout without eating beforehand, and a rather light meal last night, and felt totally fine. I forgot all about eating until I was home, and realised I hadn't eaten. Might work for me, rather than eating too soon to going to the gym and feeling sick.

Monday August 9th, 7:45pm

Singles up to 58lb

WOD:
with a partner (Lisa), 5 rounds for time & metres rowed:
