A. power clean - build to a tough single in a few sets; rest as needed
+
5 rds for time:
225/135# Dead Lift x 12
15 box jumps - 36/30” - jump up, step down
21 double unders

pc - 215# (pr I think, but definitely could get more on a fresh day)
dl/bj/du - 13:40

Metcon felt alright…dl’s were unbroken, only a couple of trips on the du’s. The box jumps were the slow part, plus the transition going into the next round of dl’s. I’m sure we’ll see some beastly times on this today!

A. 175#, 175, 165, 165

A. clean grip DL @ 20X0; build to a tough 3 TnG reps with short rests
B. Power Clean TnG x 3/Jerk x 1; rest 45 sec x 5 - speed and aggressive
C. Dips Weighted @ 30X1; 2-3 x 3; rest 3 min

A. 315# x 3 (hook grip, belted)
B. 175# - Didn’t want to sacrifice speed for weight, this turned out to be perfect. Felt great.
C. 45 x 3, 53 x 3, 58 x 2 - bar dips

Felt pretty good today. Definitely helps to stretch my hips out the night before heavy lower body lifts.

100 TGU not for time
(1.5/1 pd)

complete @ 24kg 
~40 min (did not do “for time” but had a clock running)

This was my 3rd time doing the 100 tgu’s, but first time doing it with 24kg. Felt pretty good!

3 sets @ 100% for reps:
30 sec amrap clean and jerk - 115#/75#
30 sec amrap box Jumps - 24/20’
30 sec amrap KBS - 2pd/1.5pd
30 sec amrap burpees
rest 10 min ACTIVELY

45 reps each round

Didn’t keep track of individual exercise numbers but the averages were about:
C&J - 7-8
Box Jump - 16-17
Swings - 11-12
Burpees - 9-10

My c&j’s are pretty slow usually, but they felt alright today, and I never set the bar down. Box jump rhythm is a little off after having not cycled them for a long time. Swings felt heavy, but never stopped. Burpees were just a mind game. Didn’t feel that powerful overall today, but gave it the best I could. At least I was consistent! Good workout.

January 3, 2012 - Back in Bham…for a while, too!

A. back squat - 5,4,3,2,1; rest 5 min
B. 20 COVP chin ups; rest 2 min x 4
C. Run 400 m @ 90%; rest 2 min x 3

A. 250#x5/265x4/280x3/295x0/290x1
B. complete unb
C. 1:23/1:26/1:27 (around the block +20m or so)

- Squats felt great up until set 4 - I think 280x3 is 3 rep pr so I was a little bit toast after that.
- Pull-ups got difficult but were doable.
- Runs felt like crap - heavy legs and tired lungs. I think I’m a bit under-fed today and it finally caught up to me at the end. Will fix that pronto!

Happy to be back in Bellingham for at least the next few months. I actually get to train in a real gym!
