The only thing I have to say about this workout… is that at least I got most of my burpees out of the way. 25 during first set and then 40 in the last. Oh, and I left a nifty little skull sweat print on the gym floor afterwards ;-D

Basically it this WOD was 11 sets of 40… and it one really took a lot out of me. I haven’t gotten that stitch in my side in quite a while. The first run started off good, but then it was downhill from there. The push press took me longer than expected, I think mainly because of trying to control the dumbbells. I was happy that I was able to string several of the toes-2-bar together, at least in the beginning.
I was pretty well done after this one and curled up on the floor…. but moving on….
BURPEES:
40 (in the WOD) + 25 (post WOD) = 65 done for the day.
Having not got around to doing these in the morning this time around, doing them at the gym before I head home is working pretty good. Don’t have to avoid the cats ;-P
WOD:
Push Press for a 1 rep max
3 Minute AMRAP:
- 5 Push Ups
- 10 Lateral jumps (over barbell) 1 is 1

Rest 30 seconds and repeat for a total of 3 rounds
RESULTS:
165# , 185# (f)
4+5, 3+5, 2+16
I still need to work on my front rack to overhead transition. I could only get the 165# push press by death gripping the bar. As for the metcon, I should have probably dropped the weight for the push press down more as I got really slow at them the 2nd and 3rd rounds… but it was still a good workout.
As a side note… I need to remember one of these days that speed squats after a week of are a bad idea. My legs are pretty sore from the front squats on Monday. Hopefully it won’t take me until Sat to recover this time.
WOD:
Full Snatch Heavy
10 Rounds for time of:
- 10 Shoulder to Overhead @ 95#”s
- 10 Box Jumps @ 20 inches
RESULTS:
155# (PR by 10#)
13:44 Rx
Getting better with the snatch, but still gotta work on the overhead catch in the full squat as I’m still not that comfortable with it. But, got a PR! As for the met-con, well… S2O sucked. Although I did stick with the 95#, I thought about dropping down to 75# a few time. I rocked the box jumps ;-P
So once again I did let my mental stuff get in the way… my wrist where bothering me a bit as I forgot to tape them (again), but I think I let it affect me more than it should have. There were a few times where I dropped the bar because my wrists were getting “tired” when I really shouldn’t have… grrr…
WOD:
Push Press your body weight 30 times for time.
then max rounds in 10 Minutes:
- 5 Hang Power Snatch @ 115#’s
- 10 Push Ups with a release at the bottom
RESULTS:
2:27 @ 115#
9 rounds @ 95#
So ya… nobody did body weight that I know of. There was no way I was gonna push press 190 some pounds. 195# is my max push jerk. I probably could have gone a little heavier, but it would have taken me quite a bit longer. Anyone that tried to start closer to body weight very quickly started stripping weights off to finish.
For the metcon, my main issue was gripping the bar. Between sweating and my suck ass grip, I almost jumped the bar out of my hands a few times on the last 1-2 snatches in a round. I did the snatches unbroken until the last two rounds when I just couldn’t hold the bar beyond 3 reps. But I think I did good.
WOD:
Heavy Push Press 2-2-2-2-2
15-10-5:
- Shoulder to overhead @ 135
- Muscle Up’s
RESULTS:
95-115-135-145-155(f)
14:37 @ 115# and subs 2 pullup + 2 ring dips
I’m getting better at the front squat position and I can actually get it to rest on my shoulders. However, still not very comfortable with it and getting back into the full grip above my head and back down to the front rack. So for the metcon I did do the death and I also had to sub the muscle with 2 pullups and 2 ring dips (w/ band) for each 1 muscle up. Let me just say the first round of 15, 30, 30… was brutal.
WOD:
Shoulder Press
3-3-3-3-3
5 Rounds for time of:
- 10 Push Press (from the floor at 135#’s)
- 20 Box Jumps
RESULTS:
85-105-125-135(f)-130(f)
8:55 @ 95#, 24″
Did much better today compared to yesterday. While I did opt to scale the weight for the rounds, I was pretty happy that I went with the tall box (24″) and was able to keep up the pace (with Andy, even though he was doing Rx weight). In the past I couldn’t get into a rhythm on the tall box. I do have to say that the 2nd round of push press was A LOT harder after those box jumps.
WOD:
Weighted Ring Dips (Use dumbbells or vest)
Max Rounds in 10 minutes of:
- Run 200 meters
- 10 Push Press @ 135#’s
- 10 Deadlift’s @ 135#’s
Immediately after, 3 (up & back) prowler pushes.
RESULTS:
5 @ 25# db pp, 135# dead
90# prowler, 235# sled, 190# sled
So I hurt my wrist doing the cleans on Monday, but decided to still give the gym a go. Didn’t do much on the ring dips because of this, and also used 25# dumbbells for the push press. The ass-kicker was crazy though… I did one prowler push and decided that bothered my wrist to much, so I grabbed the sled and ran. It was HELLA hard and then I realized why… they weren’t just 45# plates on there… no, as you can see above, one of them (in the middle) was a 100# plate!! So my frist go was 235# before somebody else took a 45 since they wanted to try, making my second one only 190# (aka about my body weight). Crazy.
OLY CLASS:
Full (squat) Clean and Jerk – go for max load…. 135# tech
So I debated on whether to do the class or not due to my wrist, however, Billy said give it a go and see what I can do. So I did… and man I am I glad I did. Ok so I didn’t go for max load, but rather worked on technique after Billy pull me aside and gave me a few pointers. In fact, I think I actually got a proper front rack position for the first time!
He pointed out that I was pulling my shoulders back, which means there is no place for the bar to rest and it ends up on check rather than the shoulders. He said to thing about reaching forward with my elbows rather than trying to pull hands back to my shoulders. This made a big difference. Granted I still have some flexibility issues to work on, I felt much better with the positioning for the jerk. He also had me work on readjusting my grip after the clean to get my hands back on the bar by using a little pop.
I only went up to 135# because I didn’t want to tweak my wrist more, but feel like I really got a lot of this session. I gotta start making it to the Monday sessions as well.

Jason called this one a “jem”, and it sure was. He did modified the workout to only have 1 prowler push instead of the original 4, as I guess it was a bit much for folks. I started with the KB swings and the only thing I broke up was the push jerks. Here is my workout:
- 40 KB Swings 1.5 pood
- 10 Shoulder Press @ 95#’s
- 8 50 meter sprints (up is one)
- 6 Stair assents (up and down is one)
- 20 Push Press @ 95#’s
- 10 Push Jerk’s @ 95#’s
- 1 Prowler Pushes @ 95#’s
- 20 Push Jerk’s @ 95#’s
- 2 50 meter tire flip
- 50 Burpees
The push jerk took quite a while as I was only doing sets of 5 at a time and the other one that hit me hard was the sprints. These were actual sprints and not jogs. Oh, and the burpees at the end sucked!! It definitely was quite the workout and a long one compared to the past few 10min type workouts we had recently… but it was good workout.
