  • 3-23-12 Diane & Wendler Workout

    Wendler:

    Bench: 5x225, 5x235, 5x250
    Strict Press: 5x145, 5x155, 3x165, 2x165 (failed on the 5x165 attempt). Shoulders very sore and not much sleep the last 48 hrs took its toll)

    Metcon: "Diane"

    21-15-9 : 225lb DL & HSPUs - Time: 9:40 Very slow for me. Same thing that hurt my presses impacted this workout. HSPUs took much longer than normal. Should have done this under 7 mins.

  • OPEN WOD 12.5 Workout

    7 minute AMRAP:

    Round of 12 complete + 10 thrusters.

    Notes:

    Thrusters kick my ass every time. Legs didn't get tired until round of 15; but all Thruster reps felt awkward.

  • HPC Burpees Workout

    http://crossfitsouthie.com/climbing-high

    Strength
    Hang Power Clean
    3-3-3-3-3

    Finished at 135 due to mild injury.

    WOD
    3 rounds of
    15 Hang Power Cleans (135/95)
    15 Burpees

    Level 2 (115,75)
    Level 1 (95,35)

    Notes
    Definitely need to avoid dropping the bar on myself. Also, I do better on full cleans than HPC, apparently because I don't let the bar drop far enough on my thighs when I dip down for the upswing. I keep it near my hips, ready for the drive, but then I lose all that space to accelerate. I need to let it drop down near my knees and pretend as though I'm doing a full clean. I also need to get under the bar better. I may be trying to space my feet too far out when dropping.
