June 30, 2015

Ok, so it's a heat wave:) I was DEF feeling 2nd day soreness in the hammies today from Sunday's DL fest. Because I took Sat as rest day, the days were back to back - not as programmed. I think this had impact on my PChain today for sure. Was motivated though, and felt great about clean clusters.

June 27, 2015

Took a rest day. Went out to Santa Monica pier and rented rollerblades (!) - an old pastime of mine (from the 90's:). Bladed from SM Pier to far end Venice (took an hour) + 30 Min of Z1 walk on board walk. Beautiful day - only 77 deg and overcast. Nice break from the heat.

Because I had Tuesday off, I did Tuesday's on Wednesday, and Friday's today. I will push Wednesday's program to tomorrow if possible, or rest.

Trained with Bryan today at 1:30PM at HV. SO thankful for a training partner. Hoping he will jump in with me M/W/F's. Forgot I have to take tomorrow off - getting hair done:) lol but will do Tuesday on Wednesday. Looking forward to progress this week!

Not much of a warmup. 112 degrees outside and coached right before training -did huge mobility sequence along with class. Did some T-Spine stretches. Built up Jerks from empty bar - did 5 Strict Press, 5 Behind Neck Push Jerk, 5 Tall Split Jerks, etc. Then built up Split Jerks to #145.

June 20, 2015

Started with the best of intentions. Terminated training early, felt sluggish, tired, and weak. No sleep last night AT ALL. Was rushed this morning and have staff meeting at 1PM. Lots of excuses, but have decided not to push through and train when feeling like shit. SO. I feel good with the technical work I did on my cleans today - even though weight was relatively light.

Warmup - 4 SETS of 10's UB Dubs (x 5) + 15 Banded Squats + Death Stretch + Wrist Stretch
Warmup Cleans @ #85 x 6, 105 x 6, 115 x 6

Cleans (2.2.2) #155 - VIDEO: https://youtu.be/tgT-XlRKzi4

Was working on getting up on toes, hitting full hip extension, and not jumping forward. I think I got somewhere.

Started Back Squats, but felt weak and knee shaky. Will try tomorrow if feeling fresh:)

Super unmotivated. Blah. Got a shoe on, did a few dubs, felt ok but just no interest in pushing it. Still so sore, guess a few more days:( Did a slow, lame-ass program. But at least I did something. Did warmups and mobility with class at 12:30.

Started actual job today - a 3 Month Consulting Contract for CFHV! Was up really late last night preparing, so didn't sleep great. Was up early and at work for 5 hours before training around 2pm. Had to train solo. Man, I really don't feel great / enjoy training as much when I'm alone:( Anyway, I was a little sore and tired so took some time to warmup / mobilize. My snatches felt really, really inconsistent today. I motored through my program but came to an exhausted dead halt half way through the conditioning (repeats). I started the Deadlifts, but was just dead. I terminated early today. Still enjoying program, just felt a little sluggish today.


Warmup: Double Under practice - EMOM 3 Min x 40 Reps, then 10 sets of 10 UB DU in a row. Felt good:) Did some shoulder mobility / scap work. Did barbell warmup too.

A. Drop Snatch; 2 reps on the minute for 8min
  • warmup sets light #35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85
  • EMOM 8 MIN VIDEO HERE ABOVE - done mostly at #85, tried #95, failed a bit, back to #85

B. Squat Snatch Cluster; 1.1.1 x 5 sets; rest 20 sec; rest3min (use same weight for each set, but heavier than last week based on feel)

C. Front Squat; 2reps x 5 sets; rest 3min

  • #125 x 2/ #135 x 2 / #155 x 2 / #165 x 2 / #175 x 2 / #185 x 2 / #195 x 2 (last rep struggled)
  • this was disappointing, my FS is nowhere near where it used to be:(

+
4 sets:
6 TnG Squat Cleans @ 105-125#
30 Sec Airdyne Sprint @ 95%
   Rest 4min between sets

  • Did ALL 4 SETS @ #125 TNG and went hard on A/D
  • Completely fell apart on break, couldn't get myself back together to push through second part - just really tired

+
4 sets:
10 UB Deadlifts @ 175-195#
30 Sec Sled Push (fast grinding steps)
   Rest 4min between sets

June 1, 2015

Trained with Katie and House at HV today. Took a while to get through. Unfortunately, I had to break up the rows because I had to teach and ran out of time. All good though, felt good about the day!

A. Split Jerk; 10 perfect singles @ 86%; rest 2min (focus on perfect position and recovery)
  • Warmup Sets @ #85, 95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145, 155, 160
  • Did all sets across at #160 - tried a few different things, failed miserably last 3 lifts:(
  • Watch Videos Sets 1-10 on youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/dsh1028/videos
  • Named Split Jerk #160 1/10 - 10/10 including fails

B. Shoulder Press; 3, 2, 1 (go for a max); rest as needed
  • uhm....this was a disaster
  • #35, 55, 75 warm up
  • #85 x 3
  • #95 x 2
  • #105 x 1
  • #110 x 1
  • #115 x 1 - fail (previous PR is #115, have hit several times)
  • #115 x 1 - fail
  • #115 x 1 - racked and re-racked

C. Muscle Ups; 1 on odd minute, 3 UB on the even minute for 8min (if you fail, rest 4min then start where you left off)
  • Set 1 & 2: 1/ 3 UB
  • Set 3 & 4: 1/ 3 UB
  • Set 5 & 6: 1 / 3 UB
  • Set 7 & 8: 1 / 3 UB (but failed to lock out on 3rd)

D. Rope Pull-ups @ 21x1; accumulate 25 reps/side; rest as needed (low hand at elbow of high hand)
  • did some sets doubles, mostly singles - took WAY less time than last week
  • did all 25 on each side as rx'd

+
Row 12min @ 2:12/500m pace
  Rest 3min
X2

  • Had to go into this right away as I had very little time before coaching class - so first 12 MIN row was sub-par and my back flared up at 1K as usual
  • Taught 1 hr class before doing 2nd row
ROW #1 - 12 MIN = 2:30 ish pace, 2300 M 
ROW #2 - 12 MIN = (not sure pace) 2500 M
