6/26/12

An unusual day today. A lot of movements I don't use; at least not often. Overall happy with the session. I was really looking forward to some heavier weight lifting, but I'll get some toward the end of the week.

5 Minute AMRAP:
Max Reps KB Clean and Jerk (53#) - Left Arm

Straight into... 

5 Minute AMRAP:

Max Reps KB Clean and Jerk (53#) - Right Arm

44 reps L, 45 reps R. This was brutal. I don't do these nearly often enough. The idea of this workout was to not put the KB down and rest in the rack position. This did not work for me at all. I had to set the KB down about 5 times each arm. Painful as hell.

Rest 5 minutes then...

For time:
10,9,8,7...1
2-for-1 Wall Balls (25#)
Toes-to-bar

8:30. Maybe could have gone a little faster. I was sharing the wall-ball with someone else and I was forced to take a few extra breaks because of this. But overall kept the intensity high and felt good.

Rest 5 minutes then...

3 Slosh-Pipe (40 lbs of water in thick PVC) Overhead Lockout Holds - For Max Time, rest is 1:1

60 seconds, 75 seconds, 90 seconds. Got 'easier' each time. This was all about balance. Some fun stuff, have probably done these once in my life. Burner on the shoulders.

Rest 5 minutes then...

3 Sets of Max Unbroken Double-unders @ 60 seconds rest

36, 28, 26. I was pretty pissed about this; typically I can get sets of 40-50 unbroken in metcons. But after all the shoulder stuff I couldn't do double-unders to save my life. Overall a solid session, a lot of weird stuff, fun day in the gym.
