WOD:
Split or Push Jerk
1-1-1-1-1

Sarah’s Birthday Workout – 7 rounds for time of:

  • 7 Clean and Jerks @ 135#’s
  • 20 Jumps over the bar

RESULTS:

225#  (PR)
10:57 @ 115#

It was about time I got back to the gym for a regular class. I’ve been feeling kinda blah recently and was not very modivated when I was at the gym, so I took some time off… basically all of last week and the beginning of this week. I was at the gym on Sat for the last Open WOD (11.6) and the Sat before that for the 11.5 WOD. The last regular class I’d been to was not last Wed, but the Wed before.

But I think the time off did me good and I’m ready to get back to it. And started off with PRing my split jerk at 225#!! Previous PR was 205# back during an oly class. I tried 235#, but failed.  It was good to do some oly lifting again. I realized during the Open WODs that I really haven’t focused much on that and when I had to do the clean & jerks, my form was really lacking.

As for the metcon… I dropped the weight down and it worked pretty well. The weight wasn’t too heavy and didn’t get to me, it was just the general metcon intensity that got me having not really done much the past few weeks.  All and all, it was good first day back to the gym.

2011-01-04 WOD – Push Press and 3min AMRAP

WOD:

Push Press for a 1 rep max

3 Minute AMRAP:

  • 5 Push Ups
  • 10 Lateral jumps (over barbell) 1 is 1
  • 5 Push Press with 95#’s

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.
