6:30 per set. Tough at the end of the session. Just a lot
to set up and get going. Sled outside, hs walk in the driveway
Fun but just a lot of transitions. Hard to really push on it.
Turned more into a skill session. I was resting like 2-3 minutes between
sets. DL's were tough but all unbroken. Probably a little short
on HS distance.

OH walk was broken a few times. Shoulders are kinda toast from previous

No actual sled so we but a 300# tire on a wooden crate and dragged
it with a moving strap. This was AWEFUL. Quads
were on fire. Made me a little sick actually.
DU's were 50/30/20, 50/30/20, UB
Happy with the strong push at the end.

+
2 rounds + 50m

+
7 rounds + 1 wall walk

Great training day and weekend. Shoulders are SMOKED!
Feeling good. That last amrap was fun.

11/1/13 - AM Row + PM Training


AM
Row 8k
Every 1k – get off and complete 1 round of strict Cindy

Done. Took like 40 minutes. Felt good to get off every 1k. Th strict pullups were actually hard as hell! I had to break the last 2 rounds. Weird.


PM
A. BS @31X1; 2,2,2,2; rest 2-3 min
275, 285, 305, 315
Stayed conservative again. No pain but I can still feel a pull. It's really frustrating but all good because I still feel strong as hell and numbers are still going up. I'm happy to be able to squat over 300# again.
I just think the progress is going to be reaaaaaaaaly slow. Like, this month, it's going to feel bad 25 of 30 days, The next month, 24 of 30 days. Hopefully not that slow. 



B. 6 sets - Tng HPS + Snatch x 2; rest 2 min
185, 195, 205, 215, 225, 235x (Missed second snatch)
Felt so freaking fast and strong. 225 was a toy. Should not have missed 235, lost the hook grip after the 1st snatch and it kinda threw me all over the place trying to keep moving. I'm pretty sure though 235 is a HPS PR!


225:

235 Miss: :(

C. 15 min
Min 1 – Row 12 cal
Min 2 – Tng HPC x 5 (tough)
Min 3 – 12 TTB

Done. All UB. 225 for the HPC. I don’t feel strong with these (HPC). I don't feel like I can rip through them like most. This triplet was fine though. Didn't wreck me.
+
for time:
5 rounds:
50m FC (100#/h) - 135#/hand
5 tire flips - 255 Powerclean/push jerk
30m HS walk

24:58:00
Damn right I finished under 25 minutes. This was an awesome session. Trained at Faction with some turf so the HS walking was much easier than at home. No tires so I went heavy on the C/J's. Heavy enough? Either way it was fun using 255 in a tester. Push jerks were cake.

10/31/13 - AM Swim + PM Training

AM
Swim 5 min easy warm up
Kick 100m
+
25 m free @ 90%
rest 30 sec treading water
x 25
(after 30 sec tread, get out and dive back in each 25m swim)
+
Swim 5 min cool down easy

Done. Early. Not able to dive in unfortunately and the pool I was at is only 4' deep. So I just swam 25m, pulled myself out of the pool. Walked back and jumped back in and went on to the next. Nonstop for 25 sets was actually pretty good work. Met with my buddies in Murfreesboro to swim too. Awesome having some company. Great to see you David and Evan! Those two were actually my first coaches. Kind of a reunion. It's funny how much it has all changed in 5 years.

PM
RTW - "round the world" - while wearing a superman costume
1 min AD easy
1 min FLR on floor
1 min row easy
1 min crawl
1 min run easy
