Great push today Karla. Love the mental fortitude to push through the conditioning piece. That same mindset may come in handy in a few weeks 🙂

The skierg must have made those pull-ups interesting!

Be sure to rest up after today and adjust accordingly tomorrow if you feel a little beat.

So hitting 270x 4 after all that wasn’t too shabby of a day. 🙂 Conditioning done. RX. Unbroken. 18:00. Felt like I was sucking for air ? But was… Read more »

A. Sn Bal + 2OHS up to 155
B. Up to 150
C. Made it through the first set of 5/3/1 on back squats then failed the second set of 5. Then had a really long talk with my coach about accepting that I won’t have it every day and enjoying the process and accepting that I did my best.
Repeated the first set of percentages one more time.

Conditioning
A. 19:30

My back is dead from Sunday.
Maybe I should invest in a belt for heavy deadlifts…

A. Every 90 seconds, for 9 minutes (6 sets): 1 Snatch Balance + 2 Overhead Squats 125, 135, 145, 155, 165, 170,175 (then did 180, 185 for snatch balance) This wasn’t quite max loading but I needed this drill to work on dropping under heavier weight. I haven’t been able to snatch over 155 in a long time and having to drop under that weight needed to happen. B. Every 2 minutes, for 16 minutes (8 sets): Snatch from 2″ Below Knee + Snatch (pause 1 second at 2″ below the knee, then snatch, drop, reset and snatch from the… Read more »

I may have to do the conditioning at home today, due to some unforeseen schedule changes. What run distance can I sub for the assault bike?

I’m picking up an assault bike this weekend! Can’t believe I’m saving up and spending money on something that causes me so much pain 🙂
