So at Garage Games One this past weekend, I got reminded that this was supposed to be a training blog, not just a brag about my awesome friends. With the Open quickly coming, I guess I better start logging in some workouts on here.
PM Training (7:00 pm)
Skill - 5 Rounds
-5 Kipping Pullups
-5 Muscle Up Transitions
-60 Seconds Rest
Strength - Front Squat
Warm up: 5x45 - 5x95 - 3x125
Work Set: [2x135 - 3x130 - 2x130 - 1x130]
This clearly did not go as I would have liked. Last week I did all 4 sets of 3 at 130 just fine, but something just felt off. Stacey watching noted that the problem was not in my legs but my upper back. He's going to take me through some upper back strength movements to fix this. However, on the uber excited note - that's bodyweight front squat for me!!!
Metcon
-5 min Double Unders
-5 min Clean & Jerk (95/65)
-3 min Double Unders
-3 min Clean & Jerk
-1 min Double Unders
-1 min Clean & Jerk
Score: 523
Clearly, the strategy here would be knock off the double unders like crazy and take the clean & jerks easy. That would be a GREAT strategy for me who loves me some double unders. But sadly having Stacey there threw a wrench in my plan. If I thought I wasn't going to have to go all out on the clean & jerk I was wrong! He pounded me with them. What's more is that he required me to actually jerk, to work on that drop instead of just pressing it. Guess that's what coaches are for...
