Tough but productive one at the little gym today. Started with some press work:
press
5 x 115
5 x 130
8 x 145
My strength in the press keeps inching up there. I felt stronger today and will continue to improve. This is one way I can supplement my hspu strength and I plan to continue to work on it.
Next up was a heavy barbell complex and running wod that beat me up pretty good. The workout was 6 rounds, w/1 minute rests between rounds, performed AFAP of the following:
5 x deadlifts, 205#
5 x hang power cleans, 205#
5 x front squats, 205#
run 100m
time (including rests)=17:45
This workout called for 155# on the barbell but I went after it with Jthom, a fellow coach and stud who weighs about 175, so I decided to go at his percentage of bw. I performed the first round unbroken, rounds 2-3 w/1 drop, rounds 4-5 w/2 drops and round 6 w/3 drops. Came out strong for two rounds but the weight got heavy quick. It was unbelievably hard to find your legs on the run. I sure would like to have finished this one faster, I didn't think I'd be over 15 minutes. But heavy met-cons take some getting used to. I'll keep at it.
I finished this one with a good bit of l-sit/l-hang work that felt great, really engaged the core. After the workout I coached for 3.5 hours and then went and played in an intramural volleyball match. The body's been sufficiently worked today, looking forward to rest.
