Fun

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

Power cleans, 135lb
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

30 hang power cleans, 135lb

Countdown to Cycle 2

Had a go at last week’s CF.com Cn’J & Cindy mash up.

10 rounds of
1 clean and jerk
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats

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.

Still strolling

12-9-6 Fran
Rest 5:00
12-9-6 Fran

1:55
1:54

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!

Week 1 in the wilderness - Day 1

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.
