TRAINING:
A. Front Squat @12X0;8-10 reps; rest 3 minutes x3
B. BB Reverse Lunge from 6" step; 5-7; rest 1 minute between legs x4

115# Squat Clean Thruster
Burpees

+
Sq Clean Thrusters - 12,10,10,10,10
Burpees - 12-15/round
Cal Row - 14,13,13,12,11
Haven't done high rep scheme of front squats in awhile so wasn't sure about the weights but happy with 180# x10 - felt light and fast...Reverse lunge from 6" step was higher than normal and I wasn't sure about weight on this one either...should've started heavier but legs were smoked by the end and I knew what was coming so I didn't wanna push it too much. Squat Clean Thruster/Burpee/Row triplet was pretty awful - legs and shoulders took a pounding but I was really happy to maintain my numbers consistently throughout. This one became a gut check because the weights weren't bad, effort determined my #'s....Good day, feeling strong and energized...til tomorrow...............

Saturday's Training:
"LYNNE"
5 sets:
Max Reps Bodyweight Bench Press
Max Reps Pull Ups
--Rest as Needed between sets--
RESULTS:
Bench Presses/Round - 20,17,14,11,10 = 72 Total Reps
Pull Ups/Round - 40,31,26,24,22 = 143 Total Reps
TOTAL REPS - 215 reps
This one didn't look bad but then I finished Round 1 and felt like my chest and forearms were going to explode...very miserable. I also realized that I could've rested for 4 minutes between sets or 44 minutes and it wouldn't have made a difference. I was hoping for higher pull up numbers but I didn't wanna cheat it and rest for long periods betwwen the transition from the bench to the bar...I chalked up and got on the bar. til tomorrow..............
Sunday's Training:
Speed Back Squats @60%; 3 reps; rest 10 seconds
THEN....
Run 200m
20 Box Jumps - 24"
***TIME THE RUNS/BJ PORTION***
RESULTS:
1. 1:02 5. 1:00
2. 1:10 6. 1:00
3. 1:12 7. 1:00
4. 1:00 8. 1:01
***Complete the above for 8 sets****
I used 200# for the back squats which were designed to tire my legs before taking off for the 200m runs (which are actually a 100m run out and 100m run back...HUGE difference than a straight 200). The stopping and restarting of the runs made my legs very fatigued for the box jumps, really this one was short but painful and very fatiguing. For the first 3 sets, I rested 3 minutes between then I doubled the rest period to 6 minutes for last 5 sets per Coach. Again nothing technical about today, just a grind...off day tomorrow, back at it Tuesday..........

B. Rested one minute between sets
+
COMPLETED
Power Clean felt pretty good today, had a long day at work so struggled to focus but still happy with technique..KBS were pretty light, 1 min was def enough rest, maybe 45 seconds rest next time. Rev Sled Drag/Run was brutal on my tired legs but go thru it, focused on high turnover on drags and pushed myself on the runs.

Hit 10 as my low score on push ups - shoulders were SMOKED from heavy push press...completed row in 7:48, legs felt like falling off lol...I need rest for my legs badly. P.M. session was very very interesting, I never swim and I am not good at it...happy to do it and I know its a weakness so I'll never say no but it still sucked. Something else to learn, yaaaaaaaaaaa.....................

Pretty easy, slow day today which I really needed...legs were smoked from this week's training and I played hockey this morning so this was perfect. First time using the chains on the Bench which I really liked - enjoying anything with chains for sure....
SUNDAY'S TRAINING:
A. Find your 3RM Deadlift
B. GH Raises vs. Light Band; 10 reps; rest 1 minute x5

RESULTS:
A. 400#
B. Completed
+
6 Full Rounds + 3 Bar Muscle Ups
Happy with the 3RM DL @400#, I was hoping to hit 400# and it felt really solid - last rep was tough but completed....wasn't touch and go but just a second at the bottom to reset, very fast here....GH Raises were rough after the DL but def need the lower back work so good to see these again. AMRAP felt really smooth as well....the killer was the AirDyne (of course), getting thru 20 cals at that point was a grind. Loved it though, def something I can accel at....til next time....OH WAIT I GOT ONE MORE THING TO ADDRESS*****
So, most of you have seen me and Mark battle back and forth in a good natured verbal war on our blogs; however, it had stopped for a bit and I thought maybe we could finally both be adults and stop the nonsense. I WAS WRONG...he took an UNPROVOKED shot at me and told me to "Go back to drooling over pics of Tom Brady"
Well, shame on me for thinking someone from Philly could be honorable...I mean this is a place where sports fan throw batteries at opposing players, throw snow balls at santa claus and have a football stadium with its own jail cell underneath the stands...my bad....oh wait did I mention there Quarterback is a Convicted Felon???? WHATEVER, I'll take Tom Brady, First Ever Unanimous MVP in NFL history, any day of the week.....and yes I occassionally drool over him - not that there's anything wrong with that haha

Wednesday, September 21st & Thursday, September, 22nd, 2011
Wednesday's Training:
A. Snatch Grip DL from 4" Block; 2-3 reps; rest 3 minutes x3
B1. Power Snatch - 115#; 7 reps; rest 10 seconds
B2. Toes to Rings; 20 reps; rest 3 minutes x3
C. Side Bridge; 45 seconds/side; rest 15 seconds x3/side
RESULTS:
A. 215#-225#-225# (completed 3 reps/set)
B1/B2 - 1:10,1:04,1:05
C. Completed
Snatch Grip DL with extended ROM was good training, something I think I need more of - I think it can help with posterior chain strength and that initial pull on the snatch. Snatch/Toes2Rings couplet was really rough on the grip but the power snatches felt easy and fast, def need the snatch work so it was good. Side Bridges completed with no problem.
Thursday's Training:
A1. DB Press from seated position on floor; 10-12 reps; rest 90 seconds
A2. L-Pull-Up; AMRAP (-1); rest 90 seconds x3
+
10 Rounds:
3 HSPU - Hands on Floor
3 Muscle Ups
RESULTS:
A1. 30# DB/Hand (x12), 35# DB/Hand (x12), 45# DB/Hand (x10)
A2. 16,12,11
+
Time: 10:40
Well presses from the floor were different, really had to focus on keeping back tight and legs straight in front of me, tough to get any help from other muscle groups, good isolation work especially when combined with the L-Pull Ups. Again back had to stay tight and legs straight...this couplet smoked by shoulders and lats, which made the HSPU/MU tester miserable. Hoping for a much better time on that but it wasn't happening, upper body was struggling, still just happy to complete it. Good few days of training, day off tomorrow and back at it Saturday.....................
