PM Workout (1600)

Today is the first day of my new olympic lifting program... overall I really enjoyed this ... having said that, I don't have an ideal olympic lifting gym yet... but I am working on that and figuring out how to get in more olympic lifts while doing this program.

 Complete Rest 

10/31/26

Did a team (M/F) competition today (“The Ship” in Honolulu) … we were in the master’s category … I was NOT planning on doing this and had just trained 5 days in a row … my parnter was a bit older and really just doing this for fun, we had a great time and gave our best … I was planning on keeping today as some easy bodybuilding, but this was fun to get in and a low/stress fun way to spend the day with great people. Took 5th place of 15 masters teams, which was fun. 

Floater Event (0730)

AMRAP 6:

9 Partner Deadlifts (385#)

9 Synchro Toes-to-Bar 

-6th place / 70 reps ... we had a few misses for lack of syncrho on the toes-to-bar, which was frusturating, but overall we did what we could … T2B are my partner’s biggest weakness and we just stuck to her pace, kept 5/4 the entire time until the last set where we went to failure. 

Event 1 and 2 (0850)

Event 1 

2-2-2-3 Intervals @ 1 Min Rest

21 Pull-ups + 21 Thrusters (95/65#) - each partner completes both movements before doing max BBJO at 30” 

15 Pull-ups + 15 Thrusters (95/65#) - each partner completes both movements before doing max BBJO at 30” 

9 Pull-ups + 9 Thrusters (95/65#) - each partner completes both movements before doing max BBJO at 30” 

9 Pull-ups + 9 Thrusters (95/65#) - each partner completes both movements before doing max BBJO at 30” 

-6th place … don’t remember the exact BBJO, but we got 6th place

Event 2 (Immedietly after Event 1)

EMOM 8 (first 4 min women, second 4 min men) 

1 Squat Clean, cannot go down in weight, for total weight across 4 sets 

-I went 255#, 270#, 270#, 295# for a total of 1090 … took 1st place in the event overall. The scores were only against each gendered category and scored as its own event … my partner got 10th in this event. 

Event 3 (1230)

For time (split any way)

160 Double-Unders 

80 Wall-Balls (20/14#)

40 Cal Row

120 Double-Unders

60 Wall-Balls (20/14#)

30 Cal Row 

-2nd place - 10:54 … first place was only 2 seconds ahead of us, which was frusturating. 

This was our plan: 

110ish DU - Doug 

50 DU - Rachel 

60 WB - Doug 

20 WB - Rachel 

40 cal row - Doug 

Max DU - Rachel 

Remaining DU - Doug 

15ish WB - Rachel 

Remaining WB and Row - Doug 

We did this plan except one deviatation, where we had one extra wall-ball transition during the set of 60 … it might have cost us the win, but maybe not … I think overall I needed that little break from the WB to the final row and might have gone slower without the break? Who knows, sucks to not win an event by 2 seconds! 

Event 4 (final - only top 5 teams) (1430) 

For time: 

3-5-7-9-11

Bar Muscle-ups (synchro to top of partner’s snatch) 

Snatch (135/95#) (synchro to top of partner’s bar MU) 

-We went into this in 5th place overall … took 5th of 5 … my partner unfortunately couldn’t do bar MU, so we didn’t get past the round of 3 … but I did my 3 while she snatched.

3 Shoulder-to-Overhead (115/85#)

-Result = 

2 + 15

2 + 13

3 + 6

5 + 3 

Overall this was REALLY tough ... tore my hands a bit and just felt heavy on the C2B ... all sets unbroken across, but I felt like I wasn't moving super fast through this. I think this was 187 reps total... 90+ C2B ... which is a lot, so maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself. Anyway, this was tough and my body is feeling beat from this week's training.
