For how shit my conditioning is right now, doing 1 or maaaaybe 2 metcons a week for a couple months, I’m real happy with that. I feel seriously heavy on MU. TTB are my worst movement but I did sets of 3 nearly the whole way with minimal rest and it seemed to work out.
PRs are boring. They happen to often 🙂
I think I’m just getting bigger balls and actually trying for harder things.
Except the metcons… cardio is hardio right now.

A. 115# (Really struggle with these ?)
B. 245# (Hit the cleans at 265# but missed the jerk)
C. 189 Rx (Should’ve been well over 200 on this.. my metcons have been feeling really off for the past couple weeks. Not sure what’s going on with that, feels like i have no push. I’m in a metcon funk right now.. )
Strongman Training Session :
A. 85# DB’s
B. 150# Bag
C. 225# Sled and 405# Yoke
Things will come back around. Stay positive and keep training hard! Control what you can control!
Primary Training Sesh A) 45, 55, 65, 75, 85. Didn’t feel like dying. It seems Monday’s snatch routine is opening up my mobility well. Thanks for that. B) 245. Hit 265 for both cleans twice and missed the jerk. 2nd jerk much closer. Had fun with it. C) 181. Scored 181 in 2014. Scored 186 last year in july. 12 pounds heavier today and I know I had a rest day before last year. Finished last clean a few seconds earlier this year 11:45. 45 C2B’s and 27 BMU’s play a roll? MU’s have been feeling so good the past… Read more »
All part of the journey! I’m sure with a little rest you’re smashing that score!!
Narrow Grip OHS: 85, 95, 100, 105, 110
Hang Clean + Clean + Jerk: up to 220. Yes!
14.4 – 195 – No!
Goal was to get back on the rower and was just short. This workout always gets to me but felt 100x better from when I did it earlier this year before then open.
In 2014 I could do Muscle Ups but didnt get any in the workout (so better than 2014!) but I should be getting back on the rower for 200+ reps now… need to push the pace/transitions more and trust my fitness.
“Trust your fitness” where have I heard that before?! ?
Have a great vacation!
It’s a good line! This great coach said it once and it just stuck with me!
Sesh 1
Tempo BS+3 up to 400
Snatches did complex but did for volume and technique as my body is a bit beat up
4 sets at 190 4 sets at 200
Metcon done
Assault bike later
Time for a rest day!
OHS-105/115/125/135/145 all easy, smooth. I actually prefer a narrow grip
HC+C+J -stopped at 175. Honestly that might be close to how far I can get with a hang clean currently. That was feelin kinda heavy :/
Gym’s partner wod
A. 45-55-65-65-75
B. 295 felt pretty good but I still feel I’m slightly shifting forward coming out of the dip on my jerk
C. 189. Had 2:30 left when I finished the clean and just fell apart on the muscle ups 2-2-3-2
Jerk grip ohs
155 that’s a pr and I actually did it right #swole and flexy
Hang clean clean jerk up to 265 had 275 and 285 but bar got to slippery in this humidity, had to dry it off before 2nd pull
Con
201 boom could have gotten a few more cals on rower had I not been sore from travises gymnastics program yesterday! Ran it with a friend on mine whom is doing it! Good stuff might sign up myself!
Great work! I see you found your balls 🙂
