9:00am
45 minute Z1 session - Row 1k, spin 4 min, run 1/2 mile - repeat
Result: 3 rounds + row + spin
This was fun. Kind of boring, but fun. Rows were around 4:30 and run was around 5 minutes. I know 5 minutes is slow, but Z1 is still relatively new to me and my body doesn't fully enjoy the this whole running thing.
6:30pm
A
Split Jerk - 3 @ 260#, 2 @ 270#, 1 @ 285#, 3 @ 260#, 2 @ 270#, 1 @ 285# - rest to full recovery
This was tough because I wasn't able to perform any warmup other than a few dry runs on the split jerk. Rachel got off work really late which put me really far behind. She doesn't want me to take the baby to the gym in the afternoon / late afternoon / early evening due to the Texas heat (I don't blame her. I don't really want Evelyn out in it either). Anyway, 260# right off the bat felt extremely heavy. Also, on the 2nd round, I did 285# for 3 after I did it for 1. I forgot to strip the weights and reset...oops.
B
2" Deficit Clean Grip 3 Stop Deadlift - 7 x 3 @ build from 245# - rest 2 min
Result: 245 / 275 / 305 / 310 / 325 / 335 / 335
My thumbs took a beating on this. I tried my best to keep the hook grip but my thumbs didn't want anything to do with it once it got heavy (specifically on 325# and 335#). The weight wasn't any problem, it was all the grip.
C
Push Press + Push Jerk - 5 x 4 + 3 @ 225# - rest 3 min
This was more frustrating than it was difficult. The push press felt really good, however, the push jerk was the frustration came in. I kept losing the weight forward. It almost felt like I was pushing up and forward, instead of straight up and slightly back.
Overall, another frustrating day with no warmup. I'm getting really sick of not being able to warmup properly. My body is taking a beating because of it, too. However, it's not really within my control. I think I'll start biking over to the gym on nice days so I can get something in before WODing (it's only a little over 2 miles).
