AM
A
Front Squat - 3,2,1; rest 3min (build to tough single, not a max)

Result: 335 / 365 / 390 PR

Didn't mean to PR here. Though I had 370# on the bar but I guess I just miscalculated. Anywho, this is a 15# PR and it's nice to do so given the minimal amount of strength stuff I have been doing. 

B
2-pause Halting Clean DL - 3 x 3; rest 3min (tough across, maintain perfect hip/spine mechanics)


Cool move. I like it. Thumbs took a beating with my hook grip but benefits strongly outweigh the minor pain. 

C
Single Leg Deck Squat - 5 x 5-6 ea leg; rest as needed

Ankle mobility is improving. I'm still trying to figure these out, though. 

D
BB Shoulder Press - 5 x 5; rest 2:30 (tough across)

Result: 185# across

Still not comfortable with going much heavier than this. 185# feels really light in regard to PRE which is cool. I feel like I could press that weight 20x. 

PM
EMOM for 40min
Min-1 - 5 Perfect TTB + Row @ EN2 for remaining time
Min-2 - 5 Perfect Rebounding BJ @ 12"" + Row @ EN2....
Min-3 - 5 Perfect CTB + Row....
Min-4 - 20 UB DU + Row....
Min-5 - 5 Perfect Brupees + Row.

I prefer the AD. The transition to and from the rower takes a lot of time and it gets frustrating. 

Kyle - rocked out 3 ring muscle ups after this and they felt pretty good. Also attempted bar muscle ups but I couldn't get them for some reason. Hands were really tender and I felt very disconnected. Not sure why or where. I need to film these again.

I tried to fit this all in one session due to time constraints his morning, but that was a big mistake. I got 500m into the first row and yacked. Needless to say, I didn't complete the rows. I'm going to move them to tomorrow afternoon at home. The runs were tough, as usual. It was fucking hot today, too. Damn near did these runs in the buff. I liked the :20 on :20 off set up a lot.

Cake walk on these.
 
A2

I consider myself to be a man who doesn't complain often...but fuck these. I understand and accept their worth, but fuck these.

B1
Deadlift - 4 x 10; rest 30sec (275#)
 
Cake walk.
 
B2
BB Front Rack Lunge (in place) - 4 x 20 alt; rest (135#)
 
Not a cake walk. This was incredibly difficult. I think mostly due to some slight knee pain and lack of wrist mobility. 
 
B3
Arch Body Rock - 4 x 30sec; rest 2min
 
Not a bad day today. I was pretty spent after the EMOM, as usual. Felt pretty fatigued in the afternoon. The RDLs really punched me in the stomach. I've never experienced the feeling not wanting to workout just because I didn't like something in the session. Tonight, I experienced this feeling. It was humbling. I need to reevaluate my mentality when approaching the RDLs next time.

A little frustrating here. HR was a huge limiting factor. Was really crunched on time this afternoon so I didn't get a proper warmup.

Choice cyclical 30 min @ EN1/EN2 by feel

Chose to do AD. The AD is finally fixed so I can use it appropriately now. 



Wasn't able to do the AM session today due to it being stifling today and Evelyn was really throwing a fit after class. I normally do the AM stuff after the 9am class but she wasn't having it today.

AM
A
Front Squat - 2,2,2; rest 3min (build to tough 2, not a max)


Good stuff here. Still glad I can hit these number. I would like to be able to hit 405# for a double in the future. 

B
2-pause Halting Snatch DL - 3 x 3; rest 3min (tough across, maintain perfect hip/spine mechanics)


Wasn't sure where to start here. 315# was quite doable so I bumped it up 20#. 335# was a good challenge. 

C
Single Leg Deck Squat - 5 x 5-6 ea leg; rest as needed

Still feel like I have CP when I do this. 

D
Strict Wtd CTB Pull-up - 5 - 2.2.2; rest 30sec + 2:30 (tough across) 

Result: 25# across

No Bueno. 
E. BB Shoulder Press - 5 x 5; rest 2:30 (tough across)

Kept it here due to my wrist. I didn't like how these sets felt so I just went off of feel.

This kills. This was actually done in the afternoon. I had to swap the sessions today due Evelyn being in a terrible mood so I wasn't able to stay at the gym to do this stuff. I would've done it at home but my stud bar actually feel out of the ceiling. Anyway, I actually wore my HR monitor to see where I would be during this and it didn't surprise me with how high it was.

This was difficult to do today. I had to take Evelyn to the field with me and Rachel got very upset about it. I put sunscreen on her and had her turned away from the sun with a little fan, oh well.

Goal was to hold 1:53.8, I held right around 1:53.6 so I guess I was close enough. This was a little tougher than I thought it was going to be. Had a rough afternoon and I think that played a role here. 

Saturday, June 20

Good stuff here. 

B
DB 2arm Shoulder Press x 8 + DB 2arm Push Press x4 - 1 complex every 90sec for 6 sets (tough)

Result: 45 / 45 / 45 / 50 / 50 / 50

Those last 3 were tough. Nothing too strenuous on my wrist, which is a good thing. 

C
Strict Lean-away CTB Pull-up maintaining Hollow Position - 6 x 3.3.3; rest 20sec + 2min

Tried my best to keep these unbroken but wasn't able to. Disappointed with that. 

D
Inverted Bar Row - 4 x 15; rest 90sec (adjust feed / add wtd. / load as needed to make 15 reps challenging)

These were hard enough with just my body weight. Today was a rough upper body day for sure. 

Sorry I got these up late.

*this is skill-work mixed w/ your aerobic pieces, what I want is focused, consious, deliberate movmeents with the goal of improving movment quality. For the BJ, pause on top of the box for a full 1-count, CTB make sure you're using hips to drive movement, for TTB stay under the bar pull knees & kick...
 
Dude this was far more taxing than I anticipated it being. I was spent after this. I had to stop after the 5th round to doctor my right hand to keep it from really getting fucked up. This was really good, aerobically, and I needed it. Only bad thing was my low back was pretty stiff afterwards. Had a lot of knee pain, even with sleeves, on the rebounds box jump.

I felt like a broken old man today, man. Knees, back, left foot, left ankle were all flaring up for some reason. I'm not sure if it was due to the weather or what but I felt like shit today. Oh well. On the plus side, I have a chiropractor appointment tomorrow so let's see if I can't get my back to feel better.

A
Arms Crossed Front Squat - 3,3,3; rest 3min (build to tough 3, not a max)


These were cool. This was the lightest 335# has felt. I have to admit, on the last set, I reverted to a standard front squat grip. That cross-over stuff can suck it. That was quite uncomfortable, however, it was new so it's going to be strange.

False grip didn't happen here. I just did no-false-grip. Trying to hold myself up in false-grip was excruciatingly painful. Probably an 8/10. Fucking hurt. 

D
Low Rings Muscle-up Transitions (strict) from seated - accumulate 20-25 total reps; rest as long as needed to keep movement quality high

These felt pretty good. Went on to perform a ring muscle up afterward. I hit it and it didn't hurt terribly, however it was uncomfortable.  On the positive side, I got back up on that horse and made it my bitch.

I stopped after #8. I was experiencing an abnormal amount of knee and low back pain. I'm not sure if it was because I had my shoes too loose or what but it got to the point where it was near unbearable. I did a lot of low back, tibialis anterior, VMO, high calf, and low hammie mobility after this on both legs.

Today was better than yesterday, performance wise. There have been a lot of external distractions recently due to family being in (lame excuse) and Evelyn being quite ill. Rachel and I are doing our best to maintain a level of mild sanity, however this is the first time Evelyn has been sick and seeing how sick she is and how she's acting is really heartbreaking. I know it was a bothering me tonight and this morning and I need to try to do a better job of not letting that get to me and focus on what's at hand. 

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. It'll be nice to test my wrist a little bit more and see if we can't get it back to where it was. 

Thursday, June 11, 2015

Thursday, June 11, 2015

Had to throw this all into one session tonight. Well, everything except the choice cyclical. The rower at home let me do that, at least. Evelyn is sick so I was limited on my gym time this morning. Had to have someone cover the 9am class for me because she was sick. Luckily, Rachel got home early so I could hit all of this.

E

Felt alright. Middle sets felt better than the last, however, I really liked how the last 2 felt and looked. Below is the compiled video of all 8 pulls.

These are improving bit by bit. 

G1
Wtd. Supine Grip Pull-up - 3,3,3,2,2,2; rest 60sec (build)

Result: 44 / 53 PR / 53 / 53 / 53 / 55x

PR for a triple. I know it's nowhere close to where I should be, but, with that 1.5p KB, that puts my body weight around 330# so I guess that's something?

G2
Seated Snatch Grip Bnk Z-Press @31x3 - 6 x 6; rest 90sec (mod)


Stayed at 135# after the 3rd set due to a slight tweak in my neck. This was bothersome throughout the remainder of the session. I would equate it to a similar injury/annoyance I've experienced in swimming. 

H
Wtd Ring Row - 6,6,6,4,4,4; rest 2min (tough)

Result: 35# on sets of 6 / 45# for 4's

Rough stuff tonight, man. This was more mentally taxing than anything else. I started to lose a lot of motivation there towards the end. Just a long day overall plus a really long training session that was definitely less than outstanding. Oh well. These days happen. Tomorrow is a new day.

That's so hard to get it under 1:10. I must be missing something within the mechanics. I think I'll film this next time.

Result - 3:46.0 / 3:48.2 / 3:50.2 / 3:51.4

This was better than last time, however it was still aggravating. I figured out the pacing I needed to hold to not be slower than pond water thanks to the 30 minute row for distance (around 1:53-1:57). PRE was still low for that high of a HR.

Thinking back on this, comparing to June 9, I'm pretty sure I forgot to do the sit-ups because I don't remember doing them. However, I could be wrong. I do remember that I was about 5:00/RD last time (which would have come out to 4 rounds). This is rookie, man. How could I forget to do a move? Bullshit. Needless to say, I'm almost 100% certain that I bettered my score a over a full round compare to last week. I need to work on my memory and focus. Goddammit.

395#

405#
 

Legs felt really good this afternoon. 405# didn't feel like a 5RM, however, after watching the video, it looked like it. I probably could've gone up to 415# or even 420# for this. Had no dignity today so I took my shirt off.

B2

Good lord this was tough. Running in the Nanos hurts my feet so they were in a good amount of pain before I even started. It wore off as the adrenaline kicked but, excluding that, this was really rough. 

PM
Row - 30min for max distance
*track HR metrics / total distance / average /500m pace 

Result: 7705m / 1:56.8 avg / 178 bpm avg

This was a PR and I'm pretty certain I couldn't have done much better than this. 2 crazy things happened here 1) I hit a 19:35 for the 5K which is less than 30 seconds off my current 5K PR of 19:08...2) my heart was really high almost the time but my PRE was low. I'm quite comfortable rowing at a HR of 170-180bpm. I really didn't feel a ton of fatigue until ~28:00. That's when I dropped it from 1:57 to 1:41-1:24/500m. My HR jumped, obviously, around this time. Good rowing session here. Obviously I need to improve but a PR is a PR, right?

Kyle - I was teaching a member how to get the appropriate kip mechanics down for the bar muscle up. When demonstrating the "sit-up", I accidentally performed a full bar muscle up. I did experience some pain in my wrist but it was very minimal (about a 3/10). I'm happy that I was able to do this...even it was by accident.

It took a few days but I'm getting used to it now. Never settle, homie.

I'm starting to figure out the whole heart rate thing...I think. I was able to actually move almost the entire 20 minutes without having to stop and get my HR down. Good afternoon session. It was needed.
