5K row was the WOD (again)

Rowed for 24 minutes since broken moniter prevents me from knowing the distance rowed (probably more like 6K row).

Brutal to do almost 2 days in a row, but a great workout. Definitely felt the stroke more this time and appreciated the practice.

Prior to row, did heavy back squats working up to heavy set of 3 reps

Back Squats:
3 x 285
3 x 295
3 X 305
3 X 320

Did 315 for 3 reps on 12/29/09. I think this is a legit PR for my heaviest squat for reps for in recent history (last 6-8 years). Felt good and it was able to get into a pretty deep squat. Pretty happy with this considering heavy snatch yesterday and 5k Row day before that.

Only time I went heavier recently was for a single with 345 lbs on 7/01/09 (and again on 10/15/09) as part of a Crossfit Total.

I try not to remember that I could knock out sets of 15 - 20 with 315 lbs. back when I was 20 years younger and was in my 6th year of playing football. But I also couldn't have run a 5K in under 27 minutes then, among other things I can do now, so I am still at a much better overall fitness level.

WOD

Snatch

1-1-1-1-1-1-1

115-135-155-155-155-155

Did not go low enough when I received the bar overhead. More like Power Snatch then a pure snatch

Did some GTG with pull-ups & HSPU later that day

Monday, January 11, 2010

5K row was the WOD

C2 Rowers at my gym are broken because the owner of the gym is too cheap to buy new moniters for them.

Rowed for 24 minutes since broken moniter prevents me from knowing the distance rowed (probably more like 6K row).

Saturday, January 9, 2010

Bench Press 1-10-1-20-1-30 reps

295-235-305-165-315-145

10 KB (1.5 Pood/53 lbs.) swings
1 Burpee
9 KB Swings
2 Burpees
8 KB Swings
3 Burpees
.....and so on until
1 KB Swing
10 Burpees

My time - 9:51

paused a little between exercises, but both burpees and KB swings were unbroken. Burpees were tough (when are they not).

Thursday, January 7, 2010

WOD:
Front Squats

1 - 10 - 1 - 20 - 1 - 30

205 x 1
175 x 10
215 x 1
115 x 20
225 x 1
95 x 30

Total (all weight amounts, not counting reps): 1030 lbs.

I really underestimated my max front squat for this type of workout. Could have gone a lot heavier on those singles. I even did a 245 single right after the 30 rep set. Legs were too sore to try for more at that point. The weights I used for the high reps sets were just about right though. The Set of 30 with 95 lbs. was particularly hard to complete. I never racked the bar, but I paused for a few deep breaths at the top during reps 16-30.

I also did some GTG (grease the groove) type work on dips & pull-ups. 6 sets of 7 kipping pull-ups & 6 sets of 10 dips. Those reps scheme are about 1/2 of my max reps for either exercise.
