121021 Handstand practice

Buy in:
Foam rolling
hip and shoulder MOB

Skill:
15 minutes chest to wall Handstand practice.
Notes: The goal is to find a position that is basically nose and toes to wall. If this is easy, then begin to try shoulder touches without allowing the torso or thighs to collapse against the wall.

Handstands were much better than I expected. No issues with keeping the required position.

Metcon:
1a) 3X7 Seated DB Shoulder press – heaviest possible, rest 30 sec.
1b) 3X7 Good Mornings – heavy, rest 30 sec.
1c) 3X20 BB Stepups 20″ (front rack)– heavy, rest 30 sec.
1d) 3X7 Weighted Muscle-Ups – heaviest possible, rest 30 sec.
Notes: Stepups are 20 total alternating steps. Use a challenging weight, but do not use so much that you allow the trail leg to touch the box before the stepping leg is fully extended. Muscle-Ups are designed to be performed UB. If you cannot perform 7 UB without weight, try to get as large of a ME set as possible, but do not add load.

Buy in:

Strength:
High Bar Back Squat:
Set 1) Every 30 seconds for 2:00 (5 total reps) – 1 rep @ 70% (205#)
*Rest 2:00
Set 2) Every 45 seconds for 2:15 (4 total reps) – 1 rep @ 75% (220#)
*Rest 3:00
Set 3) Every 60 seconds for 2:00 (3 total reps) – 1 rep @ 80% (235#)
Notes: Each set should be performed without re-racking the bar. Once you have walked out of the rack with the barbell, do not put it down until the set is finished. Percentage should be based off of your most recent 1RM Squat.

This looked worse on paper. The periods in between reps were tough on the traps especially in the last round, but the reps were fine. All reps were done with great form and ROM. Felt really strong today. I think a lot has to do with adding creatine and protein back in to my regimen.

Metcon:
3 rounds for time of:
50 KB Hi-Pulls 24/16kg (50# DB)
50 Double-Unders
Notes: KB Hi-Pulls begin with the KB touching the floor, and finish with the KB handle under the chin and elbows above the KB handle. These may be performed like a swing, but the KB must touch the floor on every rep.
Time: 15:28

Suck-fest. The high-pulls were metabolically and mentally brutal. DUs have been much better lately. Each round I was able to rip off a chunk of 25 UB.

Score: 2 rounds + 7 deadlifts

Got 27 UB DUs to start. Think that might be a record.  Deadlifts felt OK considering I haven't done them in a while. Could have have done them as Rx'd but it would have been slower. Made the right call.

120826 Mountain Biking

Active recovery day

Spent about 1 hr mountain biking in the Core Creek trails.

120825 Choose Your Girl

Pick one of the CF benchmark girls. When you come in to the gym, simply tell your coach which girl you’re going to take on, warmup, and get to work. This is your opportunity to pick your poison (or pleasure if you’re into that), and have no one to blame but yourself if you end up in a heaving pile of sweaty goo after your first “Barbara” or “Eva” (try that one, I dare you).

120722 TM Training

Training took place at a gymnastics gym @ 6:30 this morning. Karen the kids and I had free reign for 3 hours with a couple of dudes from Mudder Fudders. Did a few different circuits getting a great total body workout but there was definitely more emphasis on the upper body. The shoulders are completely smoked today.

Finally got to climb a proper climbing rope and made the most of the opportunity by going up multiple times. Was even able to go halfway up holding a rope in each hand. Never thought I would have ever been able to do this.

Oddly enough the hardest part of the day was trying to get out of the foam block landing pits. That in and of itself was a workout.

And seeing the uneven parallel bars for the first time in person gives me a new respect for what proper gymnasts are able to accomplish on those things. I had no idea how far apart they were. The thought never even crossed my mind to give it a shot.

The kids had a blast and seeing their faces when we launched them as they were strapped into the training harness was priceless.

So looking forward to doing this again.

Notes: All reps may be apportioned in any way between the teammates, but only one teammate may be working at a time (example: if one teammate wants to perform all 100 Burpees they may). The only exception is the Partner Wall Balls. Partner Wall Balls must be performed by teammates alternating Wall Ball shots. This means one teammate performs a Wall Ball shot, while the ball is in the air the other teammate steps in, catches it, and performs another Wall Ball shot. All reps must be performed alternating.


Liked this one a lot. Had to scale the snatches but we worked really well. Constantly moving.

50 Double-Unders
3 Bear Complex @ 185/120# (#165)
50 Double-Unders

Notes: 1 “Bear Complex” is: 1 Clean, 1 Front Squat, 1 Push Press or Jerk, 1 Back Squat, 1 (Behind the Neck) Push Press or Jerk. There are many variations of the Bear Complex, but we will use the one listed above. You may combine the Clean and FS into a “Squat Clean”, or you may PC then FS. A full standing position must be achieved before the PP or PJ begins (Thrusters are not allowed). Once the bar is overhead, it must be lowered to the back then the BS should be performed. After the BS a full standing position must be achieved before the Behind the Neck PP or PJ begins (again, no Thrusters). When the BB returns to the front rack 1 Bear Complex is complete.

The barbell must then touch the floor WITH NO STOPPAGE OF MOMENTUM for the next rep to begin. This means both hands must be in control of the bar as it touches the floor. Basically the goal is complete the prescribed reps for each round without allowing the bar to stop momentum on the floor, or dropping it. There is a 10 Burpee penalty to be performed immediately, every time the barbell is dropped or rests on the floor. Resting with the BB off the ground IS ALLOWED, and the hands DO NOT need to remain in contact with the BB as long as it is off the ground.

I can't believe it's already been 2 years since I began this journey. I've never stuck to any program longer than 6 months, let alone 2 years. I'm fitter and stronger than I've ever been at any point in my life and still look forward to that daily WOD. I've learned so much and continue learning on a daily basis and owe it all to this incredible community. Thank you Coach Glassman, where ever you are. You are a fucking GENIUS!

Everything felt great today, especially the power cleans. Technique feels like it's finally getting dialed-in. I can't recall ever getting that pronounced of a "weightless" feeling on the bar @ #155. The body feels like it's almost completely recovered from the TM beating. Stoked to get back to the Outlaw programming on Monday.

Squats felt like a Herculean effort but I got it. Hell fuckin' yeah!

Metcon was slowed by pull-ups as usual. Just cannot string together my kips (not that I spend much time working on them). But I'll chalk this up as a victory since they were all unassisted.

Metcon was one big bag o' hurt. Another one that looked OK "on paper". Programmed rest was a big help and allowed me to go all out for the duration. Only broke once on the final set of burpees.
