03.24.2012 Training

What? Training didn't go as planned?  How did this happen?  How did I let the rest of my life ever interfere with my training?  Easy...  If I can let the Open get in the way of my training, sometimes I must accept that other things will too.  Luckily, this interference wasn't disastrous.

Basically, I ran out of time on Friday and had to split Friday's work into Friday and Saturday work.

Friday

"Opal's Shoulder is a Disaster Warm Up"

Skill :

-Pendlay’s ladder drill:  2x10 (75#), 2 min rest

-Frogstand planche: 7x8 sec hold, 60 sec rest

-L-Sit on Parallettes:  7x8 sec hold, 60 sec rest

Then it was on to delicious dinner and a movie.  (Probably not the best excuse to split up training, but definitely an enjoyable one.)

Saturday morning

Strength:

- 2 Clean Pull, 1 Hang Squat Clean (knee)

Warm-Up: 2x55 – 2x75

Work Set: [1-1-1-1-1] @ 80% 1RM full squat clean  Did this at 85#.  This was actually a bit on the dramatic side.  Dickey Blaze was correcting my form during my warm up, and thoroughly aggravating him I just sat down.  Not out of protest, but because I really shouldn’t work out in the morning before breakfast.  Completely blacked out and my body had the amazing sense to sit itself down to recover before continuing.  Didn’t hear a word he said.   Whoops…

-Strict OH Press: 2x15 (35#), 90 sec break

Metcon:

5 rounds:

Sled-push sprint down turf and back (100 ft) w/140#

20 Russian KB Swings, 40 lbs

Rest 3 min.

Wasn’t thrilled with my performance on this one, but guess I have to be realistic given the dizziness and body revolting desirous for food (Trust me I made up for it when I got home and gobbled up some AWESOME leftovers)

Score: 1:08, 1:20, 1:15, 1:20, 1:16 (reallyOpal?)

Why yes!  That is a delicious glass of Colome 2008 Torrontes next to my spaghetti squash w/asparagus, shrimp, sweet peppers, and chilis.  Jealous?  You should be ;)
