A. Done
B. Done with an empty barbell :/
C. Built to 195#, then switched to a similar complex to practice for a competition next weekend: clean + jerk + hang clean + jerk @210

Conditioning
A. Shoulder has been bothering me. Did 3 rounds with 5/6/5 MU each. 400m on the Air Runner which took me about 45 seconds longer than a regular 400m Run?!?! 5:16/5:26/5:34

Tested another WOD for a teen comp that we’re hosting tomorrow. Wall balls, goes to bar and more squat cleans. Oh my legs.

I usually adjust depending on the distance and Athlete. 400 usually around 300 meters on AR. 800 around 650meters. Definitely a different beast. For me it comes down to muscle endurance more than breathing which is completely different when I’m on the track.

Also running on air runner or trueform. Is more taxing on the body.
I did the work out also on trueform

C. 115-125-135-145-155-165-175-185-195-200# (PR) Still need to fine-tune my technique at high percentages. However, feeling stronger than I ever have, and a nice PR to show it. D. Sand bag squats: 80# Deadlift: 250# 20/20/20 on the sandbag squats (last time I got 20/17/12), 10/8/6 on the deadlifts. Glutes were screaming for a while after this.

Strength:
C: just did 5 sets:
95/115/135/165/185
All power cleans, nothing feels heavier than your first cleans in 3.5 months. Worked speed and technique.

Conditioning:
Scaled to 5 muscle ups, have to be careful on dismount because if I do it wrong, it hurts my back. Also, only 20lb wall ball.
4:54/5:10/5:22/6:13
Everything was pretty consistent, I think transitions between movements got longer. All movements unbroken. Last set was slow because I had to wait for someone in class using my rings.

1st full day back since Wodapalooza Session 1: A. Conditioning Tried to find a pace that I could hold 6:45/6:42/6:59/7:03 All 400’s were around 2:00 MU sets: 5-3-2 Bike – rpms ranged from 59-55 WB – 1st set 15-5, then UB sets for the last 3. Sticking to the sets wasn’t a problem, rest just got a little longer. Moved under the WB target a little more and that helped those! B. Sandbag Squats and Deadlifts (I really overestimated how many DL I would be able to get ?) Used a 70# bag and 225# deadlift 20 UB/ 3 DL… Read more »
