Friday 9-10

rest day

so my back is jacked up. obviously from the crash off the pull up bar. my own fault. sweaty hands, metal bar.....
not so bad but decided to take a day off today so as not to push my luck.

little ibuprofen this am. lots of extra fish oil. we should be back in fighting shape by sunday.

Thursday 9-9 pm

afternoon wod.
was psyched to get back to Ignite for the 5pm wod.

hang clean
build to 3 rep max then 3 sets across
75
95
115
135

145-145-145
concentrated on getting more hip snap on the jump. the hang is my weak point. would much rather start from the floor. felt good at the end and was getting under the bar well. quick on most. little slow on some. good practice. good tips from coach.

met-con
Jackie

row 1000m
50- 45# thrusters
30- pullups
7:35

smoked this! and felt awesome. the row was great. good pace, good stroke count. nice and smooth. thrusters sucked but not as bad as i thought. got 25, 15, 10. pullups were kipping and fast. got 18, 6, 2, 2. on the last rep i lost my grip and flew off the pull up bar only to land square on my back! ouch. probably a 6 foot drop? must have come down on my right hip a little harder cause my back is jacked up on that side.
laid there for a few minutes and then got up and stretched it out. rolled it a little.
definitely going to feel that in the morning!
had a great time and everybody yelling really fired me up to rock out the pull ups.

awesome!
where's the advil?

Thursday 9-9

thursday am.
up and out early. hmm. thats weird.
legs are thrashed.
think the Curtis p's from yesterday put a little more hurt on them. should have deadlifted. argh. should have stuck to my plan.... always go with the gut....oh well.

figured i would get some work in this am and then hit the Ignite WOD in the pm.
the doubles are definitely a little, hmm, interesting. not going to make a call on them yet.

treadmill
run 5k
tempo run. little quicker in the last mile.
8:25 pace for the first 2 then picked up to 8:00 and into the 7:00's for the last 800m or so
26:00
not a ripper but a good tempo run.
considering i wanted to quit at 2 was good to hang in for the extra mile.

strength
3 rounds
5 pull ups
10 push ups
10 squats

moved thru this quick. just get a rhythm on the pull ups. more to come with those later.
push ups were cool. felt good to stretch out the back a little
squats were hard. still feeling it in the legs big time.
going to suffer thru the thrusters later..

foam roll--ouch!
stretch
roll more
stretch
roll more.
felt much better after rolling it out a bit.
definitely makes a difference.

looking to stay loose and hit the 5pm wod at Ignite.

still staying paleo!
been pretty strict on it and feeling good. not hungry and trying to make better food choices. definitely feel like i have lost some of the bloat. interesting.

this was a smoker. was racing a guy named adam and it just made it that much more awesome. he got me by about 10 seconds. i struggled on the last run and almost caught him. he waas faster with the swings but i was faster on the pullup bar.
all swings unbroken, all but the last set of pulllups were unbroken. lost my grip after 10, got 11 and had to remount for 12.
just awesome to do this in a group setting.
