7/17/2011

Today was a great workout. The strength session was a little long, but it was still good. I was really taxed at the end; I was debating to do the metcon or not, I ended up deciding to do it. Despite the long strength session I felt pretty good, my legs were a little fried, but I was able to still push it hard. It ended up looking like this:

185 lb Bench Press double, super set with 225 lb Power Clean double - 4 Sets

Back Squat - 4 sets of 2 @ 330 lb (90%) - These sets were very challenging.

Front Squat - 4 sets of 2 @ 235 lb (80%)

Push Press - 5,4,3,2,1,1 - 135,155,175,185,195, 215(fail) - The 195 went up really easy, so I went for a PR on the 215. It went about halfway up, then I had to dump it. I'll get it next time.

Metcon:

400m Run
21 Squat Cleans @ 135 lb
21 Burpees
21 Pull-ups
400m Run
15 Squat Cleans @ 135 lb
15 Burpees
15 Pull-ups
400m Run
9 Squat Cleans @ 135 lb
9 Burpees
9Pull-ups
400m Run

My time: 17:35. I beat two other solid athletes by 2 minutes. This was a great feeling, especially considering the heavy lifting prior to the WOD. Overall a great day. Excited to lift again soon.
