Its cold...thats all I have to say.

PM
A. Build to a max snatch
+
5 rounds for time:
10 deadlift 335#
5 wall walks
2 rope climb


A)195....I have no idea what has happened to my snatch the last 6-8 weeks. Uh, gotta fix it.

Tester - 12:20....Dl were 10, 6/4, 6/4, 5/5, 4/3/3...wall walks were tougher than I thought but kept moving. Rope climbs were good, we now have 15 and 20 foot rope. That will help, but I'd like to get more work in here, even just once a week would be enough.

01/23/2013 - EMOM, longest ever

A. Speed deadlift; 3 reps on the minute for 17 min @60% 1rm
+
On the minute for 22 min:
Odd- 6 power clean 145#
Even- 6 EROM HSPU (45# plate to floor)
+
On the minute for 22 min:
Odd- 4 deadlift 315#
Even- 3 parallete hspu

I actually love EMOM training. Especially DL and HSPUs...obviously.

A. 325...got faster and easier

1st 22min....Cleans are fast and feel good. Hook grip is not in, need to work on that, but it still solidly in hand, not on fingertips. HSPUs, no pad, these were a lot easier than last week. I think the shoulder mobility allowed for that.

2nd 22min....last session like this I 6DL, so I did that again, can't go backwards! HSPUs were also no pad to the floor. Played around with going width on each set. All unbroken and strict.

01/22/2013 - Clean/FS/burpee row sprint

AM
30min easy run out of bed

PM
From 1/8...got program late, wanted to do this session
A. Squat clean 2, 2, 1, 1; rest 2 min
B. Front squat 5, 3, 1; rest 2 min

From 1/19
For time:
25 burpees
Row 500m

I know we build from week to week. So wanted to do first part of the squats and cleans.
A.)245,260,275,290...best cleans have felt in months. did not lose grip at all.
B.)285,315,345(fail)....315 was PR for 3. Zapped me for the single.

Tester - 2:27...burpees completed at :46, fast but under control, focused on breathing, row was 1:33. Was a lot stronger on this than I thought. Surprised myself again on another short high power output tester. Gotta trust my engine.

Every night for about 10 days now Lindsay and I have been stretching forearms, wrists and shoulders at home. It has paid off HUGE! Now my warm up to get into position is 5-10min instead of 30-40. Just gonna keep hammering it.
