I have to readdress the balance of my workouts. The Spartan had me dedicated to endurance, and I sacrificed alot of strength training during my prep. Not to mention, I was ailing for almost a solid month with lower back pains. |

[B]Strength[/B] Back Squats 5x3 225, 245, 265, 295 and 300# Overall, I don't think that my loss was as significant as I imagined. I felt gunshy but completed the lifts pretty good. My poor knees were hating me though:ranting2: Finishing off with 300# was a major accomplishment for me tonight; only 40# shy of my 1RM wasn't all too shabby;) |

Re: Mike's Mad Log

[B]Endurance[/B] I began the day with a time 2 miler in the a.m. I've lost some speed with my shorter distances.....Ran it in 17:46. I've not done a 2 mile run for time since I was active duty Army. 5k races have been on my plate recently, so I guess it's back to the drawing board with running; have to find a balance again. [B]Strength[/B] Cleans 4x2 135-155-185-205 I was actually looking to PR today, but my mind wasn't ready....I watched some videos with Coach Burgener but I believe that I over-thought the movement and doomed myself. I came still see that I lost some strength; attempted 225# three times with no success. :(It was a decent WOD though. |
Re: Mike's Mad Log

[B]Active Rest Day[/B] I did an abundance of stretching and MWOD exercises tonight. Focused on my hips and ankles. I've faired pretty well in getting back to heavier squats but want to get better. My ROM has increased in my hips but looked into getting more depth by working my ankles.....The jury is out. Knocked out some ab work and called it a night. Looking to ride about 12-14 miles in the morning. |

I'm glad that I did:pepper: The session was 45 minutes with 33 stations!!! You were given 45 seconds per station then you rotate. It was a great workout!!!! Some of the exercises were agility ladder drill, squat thrusts, sprint, burpees, jumping jacks, squats, box jumps and jump rope. It was a good change of pace from running and biking. I plan to do it more often. [B]Strength[/B] Back Squats 5-5-5-3 225-245-275-285 I did not think I had any gas left in the tank after the agility class, but.....:kicking0: The instructor thought I was crazy for working out after his class until I told him that I was into Crossfit....:D I also got to give some pointers to some guys that were working their cleans. I told them about Coach Burgener's practices and it helped one of them; the other was too proud to accept help, so he did not increase in weight:rolleyes: |

[B]WOD/Skills[/B] OHS 3-3-3-3 75, 95, 115 and 125 OHS have been the thorn in my side forever.....I've watched about ever video posted and read numerous articles. Nothing seems to be working. I can press over 200 and squat over 300 but cannot master this movement...WTH!?I guess that is why I have steered clear of this movement. Sad but true. I'll stop being a punk and just apply myself more.:crybaby0: "A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success." ~Elbert Hubbard |
