Cleans

Saturday, April 30, 2016

MBS CrossFit

(9AM) about 10 of us.  Meriah had car trouble, I worked out with Ilian

Warm Up

Pass throughs, arm circles, deep squat

Workout

Cleans

3x3@50kg
4x2@54kg
5x1@60kg

These started to feel really heavy.  Ilian pointed out big chest, keeping the shoulder blades up and keeping the bar close.  All were squat cleans, except for 1 repetition.  Ilian worked out with 60kg, 64kg and 68kg.  Target was 80%, 85% and 90% of 1RM.

then

Box Squat

4x2@80kg

This felt relatively easy, and I considered doing the 90kg that Ilian was putting up.  Target was 80% of 1RM.

then

Push Jerks

4@46kg

This felt pretty good as well.  Target was 60% of 1RM

Hand Stand Kick Up!!!!!

Friday, April 29, 2016

Oracle Gym

(12:00 PM)

Run

Treadmill 20 min, 1.0% incline, 5.4 mph

Row

2000m in 9:34

Hand Stand Kick Ups

I finally got a hand stand kick up.  After warming up with bear crawls and Tacke shoulder sequence, I did a headstand.  Then I started doing kick up attempts that were going pretty well  I was either getting significantly inverted and even tapped the wall a couple of times.  On the 4th set of attempts, I got up barely and can't really count it.  On the 5th set, I kicked up and held for about a 5 count.  Although it was probably 2-3 seconds, it is a huge win for me.

I finished with jump rope drills.

Do Work!

Wednesday, April 27, 2016

Coach Rich

(11 AM) about 10 of us including Bob, Tom, Jeremy, Reva, Val and several others

Warmup

1. 5-10 min of dynamic wu
2. Jog to road
3. Review workout and ready stations

Workout of the Day

For time:

400 meter OH plate carry, 45/25 lb.
100 Burpees
75 Box jumps, 24/20″ (step down suggested)
Row 1,000 meters
50 Ball slams 30/20
50 Barbell front rack reverse lunges (in place), 45/35
50 Bicep curls, 45/35 lb.
100 Air squats

There is a 40-min cap on this workout. You may partition any of the stations and do them in any order. Just try to finish!

I broke this up into 5 rounds of 15 box jumps (20"), 20 air squats and 20 burpees with the other stations between rounds.  I used 25# for the OH plate carry, 15# for the Ball Slam and 2x20# dumbbells for the biceps curls.  I did not get to the reverse lunges, but was planning on 35#.

This was a workout that really called for me to embrace the suck.  I was crawling through the burpees and time was called when I was on number 94.  I did the extra 6 walked around a bit and did the the last 25 biceps curls after time was called.  I should have broken up all of the stations.  The OH plate carry had me setting it down every 50 meters.  The Ball slams started with sets of 10 that devolved into sets of 5.  The only reasonable output was the 1000m row.  I will have to do the reverse lunges sometime to gauge those.

Finished with mobility, squat against wall.
