Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

Yesterday

3 x 10 each:

OHS, 45#
hip and back extensions
kipping pullups, chest to bar
GHD situps
HSPU's

Deadlifts x 1

355-405-445-465-475

"Death by Pullups"

15 min + 14 reps, all chest to bar

Deadlifts felt good. 475 equals my PR, though it wasn't as solid as in the past (didn't control to the ground, just locked out and dropped it). I've had better scores on "Death by Pullups", but this is the first time I've done it chest to bar. It's time to start thinking about the May qualifiers, so I'm going to try to keep doing chest to bar for all WOD pullups.

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

warmup:

3rd world squat, 3 x 10 breath hold
tilts, 3 x 10 each leg
plank progression

1000m row
100 double unders
10 burpee box jumps, 20" box
800m row
80 double unders
8 burpee box jumps

60 double unders
6 burpee box jumps
400m row

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

3 x 15:

OHS, 45#
good mornings, 45#
kipping pullups, chest to bar
abmat situps
pushups

Bench x 3

135-185-215-234-245

150 burpees

10:34

Bench felt off; I've been having some pain in my left shoulder and elbow that I think is tendinitis. I'm not sure if the time for the burpees is a PR, but it's definitely in the neighborhood.

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

3 x 10 each:

OHS, 45#
hip and back extensions
kipping pullups, chest to bar
GHD situps
HSPU's, parrallete

Clean and Jerk x 1

105-155-195-225-245(x)

Perform one "Cindy" round every thirty seconds until unable to complete the round in the time allowed.

6 rounds + 14 squats (all pullups chest to bar)

Clean and Jerks were sloppy. I missed 245 three times and called it quits. I'm trying to get my "Cindy" score back up to par (7 rounds under PR last time); would have liked to make it to 10 rounds.

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

Yesterday

3 x 12 each:

"Nasty Girls"

3 rounds
50 squats
7 muscle-ups
10 hang power cleans, 135#

9:28

First time doing "Nasty Girls". Not bad, but could have been better. Didn't help that I accidentally did hang squat cleans for the first round and a half, until Ryan corrected me.

21 deadlifts, 185#
30 pullups, chest to bar

23:01

Not a stellar time, though I did give myself the chest to bar handicap. The box jumps killed me; I haven't worked those in a while.

20 min AMRAP
400m run
15 L-sit pullups, chest to bar
15 hip extensions

4 rounds + 400m

Couldn't workout on Saturday, so I had to double up. Could have gotten more on the Split Jerks, but I was rushing and wanted to leave something for the metcon. Should have put more effort into the runs. L-sits were a little off the first couple sets, but got better.

I've been slacking on posting my workouts the past few weeks. I'm still working the main page WOD's one cycle behind. Last cycle was pretty decent; 321 on FGB, 39:27 on Murph (all pullups chest to bar), and 10+7 on "Death by Clean and Jerk". No PR's, but getting back in the vicinity of my pre-mono form. Today's workout was a good one, 465 ties the 3 rep PR I set the day before I got sick.

I'm going to start making an effort to do all metcons one level heavier than Rx'd (ie: 135 instead of 95, 225 instead of 185, etc.). I will do this whenever possible.

Today

same warmup

OHS x 3

95-135-155-175-185-195

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

2 x each:

10 burpees

10 GHD situps
10 hip and back extensions
30 thrusters, 135#

30 hip and back extensions
20 thrusters
35 pullups

50 GHD situps
50 hip and back extensions
10 thrusters
20 pullups

30:12

If anyone's ever been in doubt, the difference between 95# and 135# thrusters is SIGNIFICANT. Ongoing, I may switch to using 115# as my "step up" weight, depending upon the exercise and WOD. I was pleased that the GHD situps didn't start bothering my back until late in the set of 50. I was worried about those, because my psoas injury has been acting up lately.

I probably could have been able to get more, but I was short on time. These felt way more solid than last week.

I'm a little disappointed that I didn't hit 195 for the press. That's the only pre-mono PR that I still haven't hit. The 495 deadlift was money, though. I've been wanting to hit that for a while. 3 x BW, here I come!

"Barbara" kills me more than any of the other bodyweight workouts. The first two rounds are easy, but by the fifth I'm just trying to stay standing.

Today

same warm up as above

"Elizabeth"

21-15-9
squat cleans, 155#
ring dips

8:06

I can do better than this. My ring dips were sloppy, and I felt a little twinge in my right elbow on the first set. It was just once, but it left me a little apprehensive. I've also been battling a cold the past couple days, so my breathing's a little congested. Not a horrible time, though.

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!

"Nicole"

20 min AMRAP
400mrun
max effort pullups

6 rounds (PR)
25+25+21+20+17+1=104

This was a PR for rounds but not for reps. However, this was the first time doing all reps chest to bar and (I think) only the second time I've actually done "Nicole". When I set my reps PR I actually rested for a full minute between my last run and my last set of pullups. This time I focused on getting in as many rounds as possible, to the point where I just barely made it back to the bar to get 1 rep and complete the 6th round before the timer went off.

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!

30 wallball, 20#

Lousy time, almost 9 minutes over my PR. Wasn't really feeling it today. Couldn't get a rhythm on the wallball and eventually just lost interest. Still a little congested too; had to stop a few times to blow my nose.

Squats x 5

225-275-325-365-395

The plan had been to do a 415 and 425 set as well, but I was feeling pretty tired and the 395 set left me seeing stars.

Monday

same warmup as above

5 rounds
25 kb swings, 2 pood
25 GHD situps
25 hip extensions
25 knees to elbow

35:04

A pretty decent time, though a little dissapointing. The first time I tried this workout I finished the first three rounds in under 17 minutes, putting me at a sub-30min pace. Early in the fourth round I started having back spasms and had to stop. I was hoping to finish on the same pace this time, but I'll settle for just finishing.

Today

3 x each:

250m row
20 double unders
15 hang squat snatch, 45#

Push Press x 3

175-185-195-205-215

Push Jerk x 5

195-205-215(4)-205-215

The press and push jerks both equal PR's and are each 10# PR's for this particular workout. Unfortunately, I ran out of gas on the push jerks.

I wouldn't be disappointed! Most people at the games weren't under 4 minutes with 95 - let alone 115! Glad to see your training has been going well.

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

Thanks Anthony, metcon's been frustrating lately. I know going heavier is going to slow me down, but I can't help feeling like I'm lagging a bit. It's okay though; I think if I were ever truly satisfied with my times, I'd lose a lot of my motivation. Hopefully the extra work I'm starting to add in will kick start my cardio. On the upside, I'm setting absolute strength PR's consistently, and my overall conditioning is definitely better than it was this time last year.

3 x each:

forearm to instep lunges, 10 each leg
10 KB swings, 1.5 pood
15 ft rope climp, 1 ascent

135-145-155-165-175

Time is approximate. After completing the first set of 500m row and burpees, I noticed that my stopwatch had failed to start. I timed from that point and added 3 minutes, so my actual time was probably a little less.
