Weekly Challenge
12-9-6
Power cleans, 135lb
Thrusters, 135lb
3:29 - goal achieved, beat 3:53 which was the fastest time set at CFNEE by a 245lb beast. Power cleans sloppy like yesterday, thrusters were solid and seamless with only a single overhead pause in the set of 12.
Happy with that

Ring dips
1:51/ 2:05
Sketchy - no groove on the cleans. Don’t know if it was because I was trying to rush or just feeling a little tight. Pretty disgusted that I broke the power cleans 4 or 5 times in the second effort.
Weekly throw down tomorrow then start my second cycle of V2.0 on monday.
Already have thursday’s metcon planned - also happen’s to be a welcome to the world WOD for my boy Harry Peter

5 pull ups
10 push ups

Chose to go with 200lb clusters for fun.
Ended up getting 7 rounds with no misses in 8:55 but after 3 consecutive misses in the 8th round I called it a day. Mini Lizzie sprints tomorrow.

Nasty - barefoot first round, oly shoes second round. Had some deep tissue massage in hip flexors and glutes a couple of hours before and squat was a little ponderous after a typical warm up. Felt much more stable with shoes and attempted to sprint first round or so and managed to hang on to that gain till the end, just ...
I have trained 4 times in the last 6 days with a total volume (not including warm ups and movement prep) of 15:46. Gotta love this stuff!
Continuing the theme of short hefty girls

Just going to hit some heavy girls this week and start a second v2.0 cycle next week
12-9-6-3
315lb deadlift
HSPU, press width
4:10 - deads unbroken, HSPU 6/6, 5/4, 4/2, 3 with 20’ walk out and back between chunks
First time any Diane derivative has been executed with any sort of metcon intensity. Def helped the deadlifts to work up to a triple at 397lb - 315 felt relatively light when it was time to go. Also very happy with HSPU’s considering they have been almost completely unworked in the last 6 months. The closest previous WOD to todays effort was 12-9-6 300lb deads and forehead to deck HSPU’s which I completed in 6:10. I’ll take it as a win but this will be the standard going forward.
Gotta love Crossfit - chillin’ to illin’ in under 5 minutes
5 rft
5 deadlifts, 275lb
10 burpees
3:49 - PB by 1 second!!
Box ticked for today!
12x210lb (1 rep PB)
No metcon - joints grumbled during warmup for my planned metcon options and couldn’t come up with anything that inspired me and didn’t hurt. On the drive home thought of the 08 deadlift/ burpee WOD but dinner was ready so I’ll hit that up tomorrow. Sleep has been shocking the last few nights so just doing what I can at the moment.

Very happy with the squat and the total. Like to see some movement on the dead when I re-test after 2 more cycles. Pretty damn tired at the moment so can’t expect more than this. Worth noting that the dead was pulled from a static start rather than the drop start that I had been using earlier in the year.
Visited a small globo for the first time in years. Managed to get a little something in but copped plenty of looks for the weird stuff I was doing

No HR or metcon - I’m knackered. Tomorrow will probably be a total day off training as the next Kemp addition is scheduled to arrive. Hopefully get Tuesday’s lifts in on Wednesday morning.
Day late metcon stolen from JDG - obviously an upscaled but shortened version of recent Hero WOD “Jack” - RIP
AMRAP 12
5 push press, 135lb
5 American swings, 70lb
5 box jumps, 28”
12 rounds in 11:49 - this was a smoking WOD!! My thoughts on future efforts will be to crank all reps up to 6 and try to hold a round per minute.

All taken from the floor - a bit weary and catching this latest in the day wasn’t the best set up for success. Can’t all be winners - will hit 5x180lb next week.

Thrusters, 135lb
Pull ups, 45lb
6:11 (PB by 2:17)
Thrusters unbroken and each round started with a tidy cluster. KB hung from webbing belt for pull ups. In first half seemed to get a second stage of assistance as the bell continued once my body slowed so got 5/5/5 and 3/3 then doubles and singles thereafter as the rhythm disappeared. Happy with the time though!!
