 A. Squat clean, accumulate 3 single @ 215+; rest as needed - 3 at #215 and 1 at #225 - felt tough to pull under today, bottom catch position didn't feel quite right

B. 1 & 1/4 front squat, 5-5-5; 3:00 rest - #185-#195-#205(4) - these were very tough!

C. 1 shoulder press + 2 push presses + 1 split jerk, 5 x 1 moderate; 2:00 rest - #135-#145-#150-#150-#145 - couldn't press out #150 for the last set, so I dropped back to #145. Still tough, but felt a bit better than last week.

Then 10:00 @ 80%:
5 strict ring dips
5 box jumps w/step-down, 30"
10 CTB pull-ups, mandatory sets of 5 & 5 unbroken
100m shuttle run (2 x 25m out & back)

5 rounds and 9 reps - CTB were solid on the 1st and dropped off on the second, no rhythm.

then
3 sets:
:55 row @ 97%
6:05 walk rest

1-1:28.2 - 312 meters
2- 1:29.5 - 308 meters
3- 1:30.2 - 304 meters Fell off a bit on the last. Starts felt solid, I think I didn't givemyself the full 6:05 on the last set.

I'll put up full video later, but it hasn't beendownloaded form the GoPro yet.

:A. Power snatch, build to touch-and-go 3RM - hit #165, which is what I hit last Tuesday for a single...

B. Single-leg Romanian deadlift, 3 x 4-6/leg, 4010; :90 between legs - #45s - R leg was a bit shaky compared to L

Then 9-7-5 for time: Muscle-ups )6-3,3-2-2,1-F-2-2) Heavy medball over the shoulder #150 7:00 - tough one! Tried to maintain a kip out of the dip on the MU, but very much a work in progress. Need to quite breaking at the knee as well.



Then 3 sets: 500m row @ 1:40.0-1:40.9/500m 2:00 walk rest
1-1:40.2
2-1:40.3
3-1:40.2

Felt solid, though the last one was tough.

Then 3 rounds:
10 toes-to-bar (:15)
:30 front leaning rest on rings
:60 rest

Felt pretty good about these.

Monday July 27th, 2015



A. Back squat, 4 x 2-3 -, 42X1; 3:00 rest - tried to hit better positions today #265-#270-#275-#280(2)

B1. Close-grip bench press, 4-3-2, 21X1; :60 rest -#205-#215-#225 - felt solid

B2. Pendlay row, 3 x 4, 20X1; 2:00 rest - #195-#205-#215

C. DB external rotations, 1 x max/side @ 25, 30X0 - R(10) and L(17) - very humid today, R arm slipped a bit which may have kept it lower. Upon recount from video it was 10 reps on the right, although it have been better on 9&10. 





D. Tripod hold (head & hands on ground, knees on elbows - 4 x :60; :60 rest - easier than frog, back was not very vertical though



Then 12 sets:
:10 AirDyne @ high effort (1100 watts+)
:50 AirDyne very easy spin (100 watts)

Assault Air Bike is a bit different than AD. Calories were close, I need to investigate further to get a better comparison.

Tuesday



A. Power snatch, build to a heavy single - #165-I struggle pulling under and catching high

B. DB death march, 3 x 20m #35; 2:00 rest

Then for time:
9 muscle-ups(6-2-F-1) (1:07)
18 medball over the shoulder (2:41)
27 ring dips (6-3s) (1:21)



5:08- I probably should've gone 5-4 on MUs, but I need to see where I fail on these. MBs were at #150 and felt a bit better than usual.

4 sets: 500m row @ 1:41.0-1:41.9/500m 2:00 walk rest
1-1:41.8
2-1:41.7
3-1:41.7
4-1:41.8 (this was a tough one!)

Not for time: :90 L-sit accumulation, goal is at least :10 at a time



6x :15 - these were ok. I did get a bit shaky near then end and my legs want to curl!

Saturday July 18th, 2015



07.18

5:00-8:00 handstand push-up practice, this went ok. Still tough for me.

A. Squat snatch, build to a moderate/tough single - worked up to #185 by #10s, had a couple of misses, but felt solid. I had Jason help me stretch my shoulder a bit on the #185 and was able to hit it. I need to invest more time on mobility.

B. 1 halting snatch-grip deadlift (pause just below the knees) + 1 snatch pull, 5 x 1 starting @ 195 and adding 5 each set; 2:00 rest -#195-#215



Then 5 sets for even times:
10 burpees
10 kettlebell swings, 70
40 double-unders
:90 walk rest

1:08-1:09-1:07-1:06-1:07

These went fairly well, the 1:09 I happened to step on my rope and knock it out of my hands to start. I did break at rep 5 on the last set of DUs, otherwise unbroken on them. I feel I can recover pretty well when I have some rest time between sets.



3 rounds not for time:
8 light Trap 3, 40X0 #10-#15
8 alternating pistols - tough for me! Especially R
8 weighted hip extensions, 2011

Thursday July 16th, 2015



:07.16
A. Squat clean, accumulate 5 crisp singles @ 205+ according to feel; rest as needed -

#205(2)-#210(2)-#215(1) - felt solid

B. Front squat, build quickly to a tough but crisp double - #255

C. Shoulder press, 3-2-1-1, 21X1; 2:00 rest + #150(3)-#155(2)-#160(1)-#165(1)







For 12:00:
Evens: 8 unbroken kipping CTB pull-ups
Odds: 6 moderate DB push presses -#55(2)-#65(4)

CTB felt very good today, still lost it before the 8th. Also I.m still breaking a bit at the knees.



3 sets: :45 row @ 97% 5:15 walk rest

1-1:26.2-261m
2-1:1:26.8-259m
3-1:27.5-257m - felt it slip around :25

overall these felt solid, I would like to have been able to keep them all in the 1:26s though.

Tuesday July 14th, 2015



 A. 1 hang power snatch from pause just above knees + 1 hang power snatch from pause below knees + 1 hang power snatch from pause @ mid-shins, 4 x 1 #135; :10 between singles, 2:00 rest - get better this week

B. DB death march, 3 x 15m #35; 2:00 rest - felt solid




then 3 rounds for reps:
:90 of [2 muscle-ups + 2 #150 medball over shoulder]
:90 walk rest



Total 24 reps, 2 full rounds each time then failing MUs.
This was disappointing, can't seem to find a kip out of the dip. On the 3rd set I felt like I had no idea how to do a MUS, out of sync and no power in the kip or pull.
 Had :35+left each time

3 sets: 500m row @ 1:41.0-1:41.9/500m
2:00 walk rest

1-1:42.6 - coasted at the end since I went out fast
2-1:41.2 - felt good
3-1:41.2 - this one felt tough

Not for time:

:60 L-sit accumulation, goal is at least :10 at a time

(:21-:13-:11-15)

First set felt solid, and shaky at the end!

07.11

A. 1 snatch balance + 1 overhead squat, build to a tough set - #185, which is the most I've hit in a snatch balance. Couldn't lock out under the #195.

B. 1 halting snatch-grip deadlift (pause just below the knees) + 1 snatch pull, 4 x 1 starting @ 195 and adding 5 each set; 2:00 rest

The DL felt good, but I felt like I was not hitting good positions on the snatch pull.

C. Handstand push-up, 5:00-8:00 practice/tech, These were ok, probably hit somewhere around 20. Didn't grind, just went through some. Played with the hand positions a bit.




5 rounds for time:
10 burpees
12 unbroken kettlebell swings, 70
14 unbroken wall balls, 20 to 10'

9:20 - round splits were 1:30 - 1:38 - 1:46 - 2:10 - 2:11 - really fell off on round 4 and 5.

Ouch! Felt out of shape on this one!



3 rounds not for time:
8 light Trap 3, 30X0 - #20
8 hip extensions - #35

Scenes from today's ride! #gorogue

Thursday July 9th, 2015



: A. Squat clean gauntlet, 1 every :60 starting @ 155 & adding 10 every :60 -
finished at #225, disappointing- didn't feel it today, I was hoping for #245. Looking at the video, I had the pull high enough, I just could get the elbows through for the catch. I definitely need to find some things to work on the front rack mobility and positioning.



B. Front squat, build quickly to a tough but crisp triple - #235 No knee sleeves or Oly shoes though, not belt either

C. Shoulder press, 3-3-2-2, 21X1; 2:00 rest
#145-#150-#155-#160(1) - very backy on the initiation. I probably should start lighter and really dial in the positioning, letting the number ego take over.

For 10:00:
Evens: 8 unbroken kipping CTB pull-ups
Odds: 2-3/side 1-arm DB thrusters, #70



CTB - first two sets felt good, struggled with #8 on the last 3. i'm not in a groove for these. My technique is broken and rough.

SADB - felt good on the right, tougher on the left. Hip fatigue partially I think, I should have switched the order up to check that!

3 sets:
:40 row @ 97%
4:50 walk rest

1-1:28.1 - 228m
2-1:27.3 - 229m
3-1:26.2 - 232m

These felt pretty solid, not sure where I should exactly be on these though.

Got up to hang around today! Wednesday July 8th, 2015



: 45:00 @ very easy pace:

2/side Turkish get-up + windmill, light/moderate & controlled (#35)
30 AirDyne calories (2:30ish)
:10-:15/side 1-arm passive/relaxed hang from bar
750m row (sub 3:00 - just below a 2:00/500m pace)

Kept it at a conversational pace. The windmills were tricky, I've never done them before and the test my mobility!
