  • DT and the Benchmark that Wasn't Workout

    Sigh. Annoyed with myself. I apparently lost count of rounds (reason number 1 to keep good track) on DT and it appears that I did 4 and not 5 rounds.

    I still have no recollection of the individual rounds but my time was way too good based on how I was moving and the times of two other coaches from last year.

    DT
    5x
    12 Dead Lifts at 155 lb.
    9 Hang Power Cleans at 155 lb.
    6 Push Jerks at 155 lb.

    *Time is not official … working under the assumption that it was 4x and not 5x when I did it. So, to be safe, I will not count today’s workout as a benchmark but it was still a very good workout. The Push Jerks sucked serious ass after those hang power cleans.

  • 5 x 5 back squat Workout

    134 lbs/ 38
    5 sets of 5 reps of back squats
    did a shorter than normal warmup
    did a burgener warmup as well
    I was not really feeling too intense today but needed to get the 4th WOD and needed to have a little bit of weight, so this was a perfect fit.. I hadn't back squatted in a while and needed to move a little weight as well.
    started warming up with:
    95 lbs x 10 super low and keeping tight at the bottom
    135 lbs x 8 same as above
    165 lbs x 6 same
    (all sets done without any belt, etc. RAW) I took 2-3 minutes at max btwn sets.
    185 lbs x 5
    205 lbs x 5
    225 lbs x 5
    235 lbs x 5 (good working set)
    245 lbs x 5 (good working set)

    Post WOD:
    I did some med ball pushups across and over the med ball & on top of the med ball at the end of each set. I did some ab roll outs with the wheel. I haven't done that in forever.. I did a bunch and ever tried some from standing to fully outright.. hard but fun. I will work these in sometimes. Fun stuff. This was the only time I felt the 100 L pullups from yesterday in my midline.
