Thursday:

Warm-Up:
2 rounds 100 meter row
5 pause squats + 5 squats
5 ring turnovers + 5 dips
8 TTB
5 muscle snatch + 5 Snatch balance + 5 drop snatch

Strength: A. Build to a heavy snatch - #165 - mess, shoulder felt awful, I don't think the warm-up was quite enough for me today. Also, my sleep was not very good last night, probably less than 6 hours of sleep total for the night.

B. Build to a heavy weighted pull up - #93, these have felt week for me lately. I don't seem to have the strength in these that I've had in the past.


 then:

“Amanda”
9-7-5
Muscle ups (7-2, 4-3, 3-2-the last was was slow and ugly, but NO fails!)
Snatches #135 (all singles, and a couple of fails)

7:21 - not there yet Improved over 3 min since the Maste's Qualifier (10:23), but still out side of that sub-6 and nowhere near Shawn Ramirez  who was under 4! I need to improve at cycling those snatches. I also need to overcome the fear of failing these, I'm not confident of hitting the snatch under fatigue. The MUs felt pretty good today, I'd like to be able to hit the opener unbroken, but 7-2 was solid. Right at the 40s mark to come off of that first set. I'm uploading video so I should have it posted later. Overall I'm a bit disappointed with it today. i need to be faster, stronger in the positions and get after it!

Monday January 25th, 2014



Monday!
Strength:
A. Power Snatch 8 x 1 begin a set every :25 @ #165 - not great but finished!

B. Back Squat 3-3-2-2 22X1 rest 3:00 #295-#300-#305-#315 - feeling a bit weak in the squat today.

then:
Amrap 14:00 at 85%
2 Power Cleans @ #225
3 Bar MU
4 HSPU 6″” def
60 double unders

5 rounds, failed the PC to start round 6 as time ran out. I didn't move too quickly on this one, I tried to ensure that I didn't fail any reps. All singles on the PCs. All unbroken on bar MUs, these are feeling better! I think doing the BMU turnover drill helps me. HSPU were a mixed bad. The 6" wasn't as bad as I feared. Only unbroken ones came during round 4, I was able to find the groove on hand/shoulder alignment and felt much better.

Monday January 19th, 2014






Monday!

Warm-Up:
EMOM 10
1- 40 DUs
2- 6 Air Squats with 5s hold
3- 6 dips + 12 push-ups
4- BMU turnovers
5- 5 muscle snatch + 5 snatch balance
then bands, PVC and barbells to working weight for

Strength:
A. Power Snatch  12 x 1 begin a set every :30
used #165 except for 3 at #155 in the middle, had a couple of misses. Felt better at the end, I got focuesed on being tight and retracting my shoulders. 



B. Back Squat 3-3-3 22X1 rest 3:00

#275 - #305 - #305 - didn't wear the Oly shoes for this one, felt alright!

MetCon:
6 rounds for time:
6 power cleans @ #205 (all singles)
6 bar muscle ups (3-3, 3-3, 3-2-1, 2-2-1-1, 4-2, 4-2)
6 deficit HSPU 4” (6, 5-1, 3-3, 3-3, 3-2-1, 3-2-1)

Finished in 18:51

This was tough but fun! I should be closer to 2:30 rounds once I get myself totally right! Felt solid today, only had a couple coughing/wheezing fits during this one. I went 2:00 on the first round, dropped off on 2-3, 4-6 were around 3:00 each. All singles on the PCs. These were ok, I need to get back on the bar quicker, and I need to try cycling doubles/triples to get a feel for that at weights over #200. Very pleased with the BMUs compared to the usual. I think the position work and BMU turnovers are helping. Still need to stay tight with the arm/hollow positions, and not let my legs get wild! The HSPU were better than I expected. Pleased with those as well! Overall I feel like I'm back on track with things.

Thursday January 15th, 2015

Thursday:

I'm beginning to turn the corner to getting over this crud. I was able to move closer to normal today. 

Strength:
A1. HBBS w/ chains, 2-2-2-2 rest 1:00 - #275 - #295 - #295 - #305 + #40 of chains, these felt pretty solid today.
A2. Weighted dip: 3-3-3-3 rest 2:00 - #53 - #60 - #70 - #70 - very solid, din't push past #70 today, but these were good!


B. Build to a tough, not a max, snatch for the day - finished at #170 today, felt very good, I think I had more in me, but I got a bit out of sync and waited while my training partners did their metcons.

then:
15-12-9
Power snatch #125 (5-3-2-1-1-1-1-1, singles, singles)
Chest to Bar pullups (mess..., 5-4-3, 4-2-2-1)


Finished in 6:23. 

The power snatches were solid in round 1, then I just kept moving in the next two rounds with singles. Lungs went haywire during the end of the PS on round one. they still aren't right with this crud! The CTB were an absolute mess today. I am not comfortable with these and this is a huge gaping hole in my fitness/skill right now. I can butterfly the regular pull-ups, but I have no rhythm or feel for the CTB. This should be a sub 5 workout if I'm healthy and closer to 4 if I can hit the CTBs.

Wednesday January 14th, 2015



Wednesday:
Warm-Up: 1- 2x 25 UB DUs
2- leg swings
3- 6 dips + 12 push-ups
4- 5 TTB + 5 Pull-Ups + 5 Kips
5- Barbell Complex

Then bands, PVC, and barbell

MetCon:
3 rounds, at 80%, 90%, 100%
100 DU (25-25-25-25, 75-25, 89-11)
20 TTB (8-6-6, 8-6-6, 8-6-4-2)
10 thrusters #135 (5-3-2, 5-3-2, 4-2-2-2)
10 bar facing burpees (just get through them!)
rest 5:00. Each set should show a decrease in time.

1- 4:28
2- 3:44
3- 3:40

I'm still not back, but I am gaining on it! I proabbly went a bit too slow on round 1. I felt the best on round 2. The big set of DUs to start round 3 sent my breathing off and I wheezed through the remainder, it was tough to get below round 2's time.

Then 2 sets
A1. 10x hollow rocks rest 30s
A2. 10x arch rocks rest 30s
A3. 5x BMU turnover drill (5s hold on top)

trying to add some stability/midline work in when I have some extra time.

Monday January 12th, 2014



Monday!
Warm-Up:
EMOM 10
1- 2x 25 UB DUs
2- 10x squats
3- 6 Dips + 10 push-ups
4- 6 TTB + 6 kips
5- 5 Power Snatch + 5 Snatch Balance
then bands, PVC and barbells

Strength:
A. Power Snatch 10 x 1 begin a set every :30
#155(7), #165(3)

these were ok, still trying to get comfortable in the setup position. Also did these without Oly shoes or sleeves.



B. Back Squat 4-4-4 22X1 rest 3:00 - #255-#265-#275
felt a bit weak on these today, kept it light and made sure to hit tempo. I should be at/over #300 for 4, but the last week has taken it's toll on my legs, I usually do better with consistent hard efforts.

MetCon:
 AMRAP 16:00
3 burpee bar-muscle ups
6 ball over shoulder #150
10m lunge steps, #140 front-racked (use axel)
60 DU (couple of breaks in 1&2, unbroken round 3)

3 rounds + 3 BMU + 6 BOS

YouTube won't show this in "my videos" sho below is the link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGqVSX9qvNU

I am feeling better, but I really can't push the pace at all. Very slow on the ball and lunges. Lungs got rattly, and I had to cough up a bunch of junk. I'll post video of this a bit later. On a positive note, the bar muscle ups felt much better than previous weeks!!! I should be able to get 5-6 rounds of this one when healthy.

Today's workout is sponsored by my ongoing URI...

Warm-Up:
EMOM 10
1- 30 DUs
2- 8 TTB
3- 8 burpees - blew up my lungs
4- 10 banded good mornings
5- Barbell complex

then bands, PVC, barbells up to working weight

WOD:
3 rounds, at 80%, 90%, 100%
20 row/AD calories lungs went around calorie 14-15
9 deadlifts #185 6-2-1
6 hang power cleans #185 3-2-1
3 STO #185 3

rest 3:00.

Took way too long, lungs blew up in the row and coughing started. Hit a few reps and more of the same. Felt good to move, I may have lost around 5 pounds in mucus during the course of this one. Feeling better, but not enough to push any type of pace on metcons.

rest as needed then: for time(not):

8 rope climbs - these were more passable than anything else, finished around 2 minutes (wasn't really timing this piece).

Still sick, feel worse this morning than I did yesterday. Throat is very sore. This will be the first morning workout I've missed when I haven't been traveling for the past couple of years. I'll be going to the quick care when it opens later this morning. I hate feeling like this!

Saturday January 3rd, 2014


Saturday:


Warm-Up:
Dynamic
Bands
PVC
Barbell

then EMOM 10
5 power snatch #75 – #95 + 15 DUs
+1 PS. +5 DUs every other round

this may have gotten a bit aggressive, or it could be me today not being 100%. I had to put my pullover back on after this to keep from feeling cold. 

rest as needed then
 Open 14.1 retest 
AMRAP 10 
30 DUs
15 Power Snatch #75

354, 7 rounds + 39 reps

ll take it since I've been coughing my head off this AM, and my only sweat has been a cold one, but the @crossfitgames Open doesn't care if you get sick! You have to preform not matter what during those 5 weeks of the Open to move forward, so i figured I'd train the way I may have to compete. Those 5 weeks are truly a fragile thing, one sickness, one wrong move and a small injury can undo a whole year of training.

A video posted by thadhaines (@thadhaines) on



Friday! First workout of 2015, felt a bit weak though out today

A1. HBBS w/ chains(#40), 4-4-4-4 rest 1:00
#275+ -#285+ -#295+ -#300+
A2. Weighted pull up: 2-2-2-2 rest 2:00
All at #70, dint feel strong pulling on these

B. 1 Power snatch + 2 OHS, 30X1 on the squats; 3 sets rest 2:00.
Heavier than last week #170-#170-#175, only hit #175 once, struggled to get under it and lockout. I really need to dial in my positions. Also, where I haven't been overhead squatting heavy, I'm a bit unsure on my lock and catch. I always feel more stable after hitting heavy on those. I'm gonna post video of my misses shortly. i've notice I tend to get loose in my lumbar region. Too much curve and not enough stability and tightness. Maybe I need to hit some more back extension accessory work to stabilize that and sit with better poture at my desk.



 then: 14:00 at 85%
25m farmer carry #135/hand
25m prower push fairly quick foot turnover.
25m reverse sled drag
25m bear crawl w/ low hips
100 double unders. Usually sets of 20-30

4 full rounds felt ok, I may have pushed out of the 85% range on that last set of DUs (20-20-60) to finish under the cap. Also, I was surprised at how much my calves blew up from the push, drag and bear crawl. Really made the DUs tough!
