Monday December 29h, 2014


Monday:

A. Power snatch clusters #155
3 x 1.1.1 rest :10 between. Begin a set every 2:00
these felt ok, I'm still catching in a quarterish squat, so I'm jumpin my feet wider than I'd like.

B. HBBS: 3-2-1 rest 3:00 #310-#320-#340
These felt solid. #340 is awfully close to my current max, and it felt pretty good today.

C. Backward roll to support practice on bar. Roll backward over bar into full press out. 5-8:00 practice Hit this twice!!!

then:
EMOM 12: evens: 4 deficit HSPU 4" - finished within 15s mostly unbroken
odds: :30 row high effort - 160m per 30s

then:
15 Bar MU for time
huge fail - 7:15, very much a struggle. I actually ended up doing 16 after I watched the video. I was unable to string any together today. Very broken in my positions, I need to add more hollow and arch work into my training. 

Sunday, December 28, 2014

Saturday! #riseofthemachines 

A. in no more than 20:00 build to a max deadlift Finished at #420 

I wanted #450, but that wasn't happening today.  Hit #16 below my max, not bad for not deadlifting heavy in a while.  

B. 3 rounds, for time, using 50% of the weight established in “A”.

 12 deadlifts #225 
12 burpees to a #45 plate 
12 row calories 
6 wall walks 

Finished in 8:35.  First round was 2:30, next two were around 3:00.  Fell off on the deads.  Burgers felt good, row was solid, and wall walks were ok.  

EMOM 10: 

evens: 6 pistols - best these have felt 
odds: 5 strict press #135 #crossfit

Friday December 26th, 2014



Thursday: 
A1. HBBS w/ chains, 5-5-5-5 rest 1:00 #255+-#255+-#260+-#265+-#275+ 

All with #40 of chains, felt solid.  Probably should do all 5 reps at >#275

A2. Weighted pull up: 3-3-3-3 rest 2:00 #53-#53-#60-#60-#60 
Kept the weight at a load to ensure full range and solid reps!

B. 1 Power snatch + 2 OHS, 30X1 on the squats; 3 sets rest 90s 

#160-#165-#170 missed PS on #175 
Disappointed in these.  I should be hitting #175 regularly. I need to be hitting #185 on demand with the power snatch! The OHS were very easy.  Need to work on those power snatches. 

then 3 rounds for even times: 

Run 400m 
21 KBS - #70 
12 pullups 
Rest 3:00 

R1- 2:37 
R2- 2:33 
R3- 2:39 

Runs were all sub-1:30, but crept up. All KBS and Pull-ups unbroken, although the last set involved not coming off the bar, but in reality went 8-2-2. Butterfly felt better today, still need stamina with those! My previous "Helen" time with the #70 was around 8:20ish.  This was above that pace.  I should be able to knock a round of this out in under 2:30.

Tuesday December 23rd, 2014

Tuesday!

A. 1 PC, 2 push jerks #185 - 6 sets - these felt better today, not great, but better.



B. Front squat: build to a tough double quickly #275 - this felt solid, I think I had more in me, but I stopped to move on to the next one!

A video posted by thadhaines (@thadhaines) on

EMOM 15:
1 - 3 squat clean thrusters #145
2.- 2 ring MU
3. - 6 burpees to a 6"

these went fine, mostly finished in 10-12 seconds of work.

then
2 sets 500 meter row target 1:38, rest as needed

Row 1 - 1:32.8
Row 2 - 1:33.4

This was tough, recovery was solid (around 7 minutes, probably could have gone sooner, but had to wait for the rower to open up).


Monday, December 22, 2014

Monday December 22nd, 2014

Monday

A. Power snatch: work up to a max double where the work can be completed in :20
Finshed at #170, couldn't cycle the #175 today

B. HBBS: 5-3-1 rest 3:00 #355-#325-#335 - felt better than last week!

C. 2 sets gymnasics complex: 2 pullups, 2 TTB, 1 bar MU, forward roll over bar, backward roll to support, 2 bar muscle ups. Rest as needed. Play with it. Couldn't get the backwards support. However, I was able to hit the MU after the Pull-ups and TTB, which I couldn't last week. I still need to be tighter when I'm kipping.

then:


EMOM 8:
3 HSPU 4" deficit, kip
These went unbroken, felt good today!

then: Row 1500 at 85% 5:26 / a bit slower than if hope, but ok. (1:48 avg)

Saturday, December 20, 2014

Saturday December 20th, 2014

Saturday:

Build quickly to a heavy squat clean - worked to #225, missed #235. These felt slow and awkward today. Positions didn't feel good at all. Felt like I had not drive off the floor.

then

15-10-5

Squat Cleans #135
Ring Dips

3:22



I was hoping for sub-3, but that didn't pan out. Last time (140930) I did this workout I hit 3:21. Didn't feel I had it today. I couldn't quite go into that dark spot for the short WODs today, I need to be able to push through into that spot to get to where I want to be!

On a side note, my nutrition has been pretty off-track this week. I have to get that dialed in soon and not neglect the mobility I need!

Thursday December 18th, 2014


Fun with heavy stuff this AM!

Thursday:
A. HBBS build up to a tough single, not a max 15 minutes #325
My current max is #345, so I built to #325 today (94%)

B1. Power snatch 4 x 2 heavy rest 1:00 #165-#165-#170-#175
#165 felt solid, #170 felt alright, #175 was ok for 1, tough for 2.



B2. Weighted pullup 4 x 1-2 rest 2:00 -#62-#70-#-#70



then: Row 1000m then:
15 slam ball over shoulder - #150
6 laps of Overhead carry #165 - 1 lap is 10m. Drop it, turn around, repeat 10:00 

Wednesday, December 17, 2014

Wednesday December 17th, 2014


Wednesday:

8:00 at 85%
200m row
6 ub pullups
8 knees to elbow

5 rounds, took me a bit to get strapped in the rower on round 1, then I kept the pace to between 1:45 and 1:50 for the duration. All pull-ups unbroken and then I would drop and hit the 8 knees to elbow. Pacing felt good on this one.

Rest 5 then 8:00 at 85%
run 200m
7 TTB
7 STO, #115
4 + 150m run

Held everything unbroken and kept the pace. Didn't quite have time to finish out that 5th run though.

rest 5 them 8:00 at 85%
35 double unders
8 burpees to a 6"
target 1 legless rope climb
5 rounds

Legless rope climbs are a definite weakness of mine. The DUs were unbroken except for set 3, and I tried to hold down the pace on the burpees. This was tough to keep the breathing from getting away from me. I made myself take 5 breaths between each movement.

rest 5 8:00 at 85%
10 snatches #75
10 box jumps 24"; (step down)

6 rounds

These felt solid. All snatches were unbroken, I tried to focus on a good setup and cycling them with a solid hip pop.

Overall things felt pretty good today and I just tried to keep moving through it all!

@wodcastpodcast @1scottmcgee @heynaked this is about to go down! #cookiebutternation

Tuesday December 16th, 2014

Tuesday

A. Power clean + 1 Push jerk. 8 sets heavy, Begin a set every 60s
#215 - felt solid - started to move to #220, but didn't so that I stayed solid.


B. Front squats 4-4-4 rest 2:00
#235-#235-#240 - first set was a struggle, then things loosened up. Probably needed to hit a set at #225 to grease the wheels!

EMOM 12:
evens: 5 squat clean thrusters - #135 - unbroken, 25ish seconds
odds: 9 burpees - 21ish seconds
these were very manageable, probably should have gone for #140 - #145, but I was able to stay unbroken and cycle them fairly well.



then:
4 sets of 500m row Rest 2:00
1:37.8
1:39.4
140.3
1:40.8

My goal was all sub-1:40, which didn't quite work out that way. The came when the row approached 250m then got bad with 200 left just about each time. I just kept telling my self to keep moving. I was pretty spent after round 4 today.

Wednesday December 10th, 2014


The aftermath of #doublegrace #neversaydie

Wednesday
For time, at 85% effort:
35 CTB pullups (5s, 3s, 2s)
30 Toes to bar (worst I've felt on these)
25 Burpees
20 Wallball (10-10)
15 CTB Pullups (5-5-5)
10 Toes to bar (5-5)
5 burpees.
9:59 - just a mess, no flow today!

rest as needed then;

Double Grace:
60 clean and jerks, #135
Finished in 5:44 (2:30 for first 30, 3:14 for the second) - first 30 felt solid,m didn't push the pace too hard, 30s off my PR. Around the mid-40s started to doubt my self. Collected it when I hit 10 left and just tried to keep moving. I think I can shave time off of this one by being more efficient in my movements.

rest 5 min then AirDyne 30 at 85%/30s easy spin x 20 - didn't quite feel this one today! Struggled to stay in high 200s/low 300s. 

Tuesday, December 9, 2014

Tuesday December 9th, 2104

Tuesday:

 A. Split jerk: 6 x 2 at 80-90% 1RM begin a set every :90
#205 - #205 - #210 - #210 - #215 - #215 - all felt solid except for the first set of #215, recovered on the last set though.

A video posted by thadhaines (@thadhaines) on

For time:

 5-4-3-2-1
Ring muscle ups
squat-snatch, #135

4:51 - Not sure where the time went on this one, Definitely too slow, need to cycle Snatches quicker(3 misses 2 in the 4s to open, and the first of the 3s)! MU were unbroken which was a positive!

 rest as needed then:
3 rounds:
400m run
2 legless rope climb.

7:15 - slow rope climbs, not feeling the run today either!

Great hike this evening at Lake Alma! #getoutside #hike

Monday December 8th, 2014


Just pick up the ball! This was a fun day of training! I loved these movements!


A. HBBS: 3-2-2 rest 3:00
@ #306-#325-#330 - these felt better than they had in a few week, which surprised me somewhat because my nutrition wasn't good yesterday, and I did 23 miles of climbing gravel riding on the bike yesterday too!

B. Power Clean clusters 4 x 1.1.1 rest :15 between reps, 2:00 between sets, building.
@ #190-#215-#225-#235

First sets felt smooth, #225 was solid, the first 2 of #235 were good, but the last was a mess! (video will come later today)



then:
5 sets for even times across all:
Row 250m
5 dumbbell burpees #45/hand
10 unbroken WB #30
2 bar muscle ups rest
1:00 between sets
1:50-1:50-1:50-1:55-1:59 - all unbroken - this got very spicy, especially the wall balls! The rows were at 1:37 or faster, the DB burpees just kept moving! The wall balls were very tough! One almost slipped through my hands, but I was able to recover. I was very happy that the bar MUs went unbroken doubles! I didn't have to chicken wing anything!


then:
Amrap 8:00
5 slam ball over shoulder #150
25m farmer carry #130/hand
10 burpee-toes-to-bar

2 rounds, 5 SBOS, 25m Farmer Carry and 7 burpee T2B

I loved this part! Getting a bit better with the shouldering. I had to transition 25 m back after setting the handles down, and I kinda quick walk it to recover before the burpee T2B. Looking back I should have pushed that pace more so that I could have gotten 3 plus rounds.

#chainz to start the day!

A. 1 Snatch balance + 1 OHS 4
Work up to a tough single. #165 - wasn't feeling these today

B. HBBS w/ chains, 8-6-4-2
#215-#235-#275-#295 + #40 chains - these felt very good. I need to push the weight more on these. The round of 4 @ #275 + Chains left me with some stars...but the #295+chains for a double didn't.
video posted by thadhaines (@thadhaines) on


8 x 500 m row, rest 2:00 off rower All 1:41/1:42 - ehh...put the time in on the rower. This got very tough to maintain solid pulls and hit that target.

Wednesday, December 3, 2014

Wednesday December 3rd, 2014


The @caffeineandkilos may be cool grey, but it did not survive the encounter with #AirDyne intervals this morning!

Strength:
A. Power Snatch 4x3
@ #165 #170
These felt pretty good, especially in light of #165 being a huge sticking point for me in the open not quite two years ago. I was jumping my feet wider than I wanted however, I'll take this as progress!

B. Snatch Grip Deadlift 3x3 @ #265 - finihsed at #265 with grip failing. i'm not happy with my setup position on these. I need to get my back flatter and my core engaged at the bottom of this and the snatches.

MetCon:
4 rounds 6 deficient HSPU 5"
25 sled push
200m sandbag run
Rest 90s
All around 2 minutes


Then AirDyne 30 85% / 30s easy x 16 Held it in the 300 watt range for the 85%, finished with 225 calories

Tuesday, December 2, 2014

Tuesday December 2nd, 2014



Tuesday:

Push Jerk 6x1 / built to #210 - not a comfortable movement for me! I just never feel strong in this movement. I had hoped to get into the 220s, but when I started to kick my leg back a bit I shut it down. Bar felt heavy today.

Then 20 min AMRAP

20 Thrusters #135 (5-5-5-5, 2s for round 2 (and an occasional 3), then singles with the odd double
20 Pull/ups (mostly 7-10 at a time)
20 Burpees (ummm...I just tried to keep moving on these)

3 + 15
Round 1 4:30
Round 2 5:30
Round 3 7:30
15 thrusters in the last 2:30

Very disappointing performance for me today. I had hoped to get into round 5, but I just had it handed to me on the thrusters. I don't feel comfortable position wise and I don';t think I move smoothly on this movement and bleed out a lot of power and effort. I am never able to have a good rack position and get that "pop" out of my hips to initiate the transfer to overhead. The pull-ups felt better than usual, i would say more ok than good (good would have been 20 unbroken). I really need to get myself moving, I feel like I very much behind the curve right now of where I need to be. I need to get my nutrition cleaned up and be more focused during my workouts.

Always staying in that @iamprojectx tip! #youknowthis plus had to #meanmug for @annettelong42 #crossfit

Monday December 1st, 2014



Monday!
A. Hang power clean:
4 x 3 unbroken, increasing in weight. Rest 2:00.
#185-#190-#195-#200(2) - bar felt heavy today, I need to get better dropping under on the catch. Slow elbows too.




B. HBBS: 3-3-3 rest
all @ #315-felt better than my #225 warmup

then:
4 sets for even times across all:
Row 250m
2 muscle ups
12 steps front-rack walking lunge, #135 (axel bar)
2 muscle ups
rest 1:00 between sets

2:19-2:22-2:25-2:22 (unbroken) - slowed the row a bit after the first set. All rows were under 1:38 pace, 1st was at a 1:33. Everything was unbroken, walking lunges while still awful, were better than last week. The MUs was almost totally different. Felt like a slug on the ones after the rower, and the ones after the walking lunges felt effortless.

then: For time:
100 Double unders (:55) missed at 24 and 81, but still managed under a minute (probably because I remembered to tie my shorts before starting instead of during)

60 AD cals. (4:20 - 3:20 actual) slightly over a 20 cal/minute pace

50 Hand release push ups(7:00 - 2:40 actual) - got smoked by these, opened with 10, then 5s, and 3-2s

40 TTB (9:22 - 2:22 actual) - hoped to do 5 sets of 8, open 8-5-6-2 then 5s and 3-2s - just tried to kep moving

9:22 total, I had hoped to be around the 8 minute mark, but not even close today. Push-ups got me. I think I could have pushed a bit harder on the AirDyne, but I kind of spaced out in the 30 cal range. DUs were ok, and TTB didn't quite go as planned.
