5/29 WOD
A. Front Squat, 30X1, 5,3,2,1,1, rest 3:00
135-155-175-185-out of time

+
4 rounds
20 Wall Balls, 20/14#
rest :10
Tough set unbroken pull-ups (not max, kipping ok)
rest 3:00

34 pull ups.
First WOD after Murph and my inner elbows were still very sore and I could not stretch my arms to full length. Not surprisingly, my pull ups were horrible. Sets were 6, 9, 9, 10. OTOH, first 3 sets of 20 wall balls went straight through with good form.

Bummed I ran out of time on the front squats because they were feeling strong. Think I had 200 in me for the last one rep. I'll have to do this rep scheme over again soon.

[I]I was a little disappointed in the Split Jerks. 75# was tough and by the time I got to 175#, I felt good. I guess I should have tried 185# or 190#.

The met con was different, jumping on the 45# plate slowed down the burpees. (Yay! Burpees!!) At least I had the fastest time on the board. Of Course, it was the only time on the board! :D[/I]

Heavy jerk practice, taking it from the rack.


Friday May 30, 2014

[url]http://www.coachseye.com/v/C0BD[/url]
Deads to 455, then 10x315 standard grip, then 10x225 snatch grip.

Finished up with 20 jerks at 75# really trying to "punch" up to get low.

My jerk has suffered as I've focused on the snatch.

PM Session

walked three laps around the farm, which was a good thing, until I used it as an excuse to have a little ice cream, which turned into a little more ice cream, which was a bad thing.
