Session 2 running

Decided to do this after dinner bc I was bored. I don’t know what each 4 minutes distance was but the total distance was 3 miles. Didn’t go all out, wanted a nice run alongside the beach and that’s exactly what I got. All that was on mind in the last 4 minutes was the fact peanut butter cup halotop was awaiting me at home.

Fantastic week. On to the next! ??

Snatched and C&J this morning. Been working thru a catalyst on the minute cycle cause it did a lot of good for me a couple years ago. Did half of Khufu: 13:26. I wanted to hit the strongman stuff all in the same session so that’s why I did half. Strongman: A: just did OH barbell carry at 125#. Pretty tough. B. Put 50# on a sled and turned around 50′. Do you guys have a video of rope pulls? I just use the strap on my sled since I don’t have a rope. C. Just did 25 sandbag squats… Read more »

You’ve also done really well following this program…it’s always tough to blend two different program. We build out the progressions to compliment each other. Just want to make sure you’re getting the most out of training.

C. 19:39, power cleans @95, 10 negative hspu each time, 30lb db for snatches, cut the reps for wallballs to 20 each time(I should’ve just used a 12lb wall ball and left the reps alone)

Called it a day after this. My legs feel smoked

Worked up to 290lbs on the complex which is 20lbs below my Pr pretty stoked on that

275 for the deadlifts

16:02RX on the WOD literally every movement I could ask to see was in this workout, did my handstands unbroken on round one and on two sets on the way down. 205 is a chill weight and 75lb dumbbell snatches we’re manageable as long I wasn’t a breezy and stopped doing touch n go reps

Short session today, didn’t have much time
A. worked up to 135lbs, failed the jerk at 145lbs 3 times – I just couldn’t get under the bar for the jerks today…
B. 135-145-145 lbs.

I took videos of almost every set for both A and B and will sit down and watch them and try to analyze and see if I improved my technique

Also did some weighted pull ups: 5×15, 5×35, 5x 55.

Not on clean deadlifts. Set up the same way you would on your clean.

Good to see you going overhead again! Just be smart!
