12/5/14

Today was a very solid training session. Definitely the best one I've had this week. Felt really strong overhead, which is a nice change ... was feeling real weak overhead the last few months, glad that it is coming back and I'm hitting some solid PRs. Really good day, slept in, was able to clock in 11.5 hours of much needed sleep last night and felt like a new man! Really fun day in the gym training with my girlfriend.

A.
Every two minutes, for 16 minutes (8 sets):
Clean and Jerk x 1
Build over the course of the 8 sets to today’s heavy.

-185#, 235#, 255#, 275#, 285#, 295#, 305# (PR), 315# (fail jerk).

-After the 16 minutes was up went on to clean 330# for a PR ... failed an attempt at 340#.

B.
Every two minutes, for 14 minutes (7 sets):
Push Press x 1 rep
Build over the course of the 8 sets to today’s 1-RM.

-225#, 225#, 245#, 245#, 255#, 265# (PR), 275# (PR). This was a big PR ... was supposed to be an 8th set, just didn't go for it though. 275# was a huge struggle and a 15# PR... was proud of that lift, definitely enough for the day!

C.
For time:
Row 500m
21 Strict Handstand Push-Ups**
Row 500m
15 Strict Handstand Push-Ups**
Row 500m
9 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
**Like the Muscle-Up Biathlon from the 2014 Games, complete a 150 meter penalty lap for every time you break your handstand push-ups.

-15:20
-12/5/4
-5/5/5
-7/2

-Compare results to October 8, 2014. About the same time, but is hard to compare because it was with running. Overall happy with my effort today, especially about the last set ... didn't have to break it up 3 times and almost got it in one set. Still stuck at this, but whatever.

D.
Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes (5 sets):
5 Strict Weighted Supinated Grip Pull-ups

-35#, 35#, 35#, 44#, 53#. Felt really strong here. Should have gone heavier from the beginning!

-Overall a great training session! Was a really fun day in the gym with my girlfriend. Looking forward to training tomorrow!
