Bench Press 105x3 PR

Just for fun...Bench Press 3-3-3-3-3

85-90-95-100-105

PR on basically all of those as i think the most I ever tried to bench was 75 wayyyyy back in 2005 or 2006.

Are you allowed to keep your feet on the bench?



This is what my midsection looks like right now. It's been better.

Elizabeth - 15:45 PR

hmmm I'm pretty sure I've worked out since the 16th...not many times but I have!

But today, I did:

“Elizabeth”

21-15-9 reps of:
Clean 95 pounds
Ring dips

15:45
This is a 4:12 PR.

Cleans were power cleaned from floor. 8,3,3,7/5,5,5/5,4
Ring dips in sets of two and one. Worked on depth but none of my recording devices were ready to go so its unofficial and unconfirmed if dips were deep enough.

Also decided to see what I could power clean for 1 rep...105, 115, 120 (f), 120 - dropped farther down to catch. yay! 15# pr. Done for today. LOL.

Status Report

I was asked by my Friend Anita, (FirmDancer on the BX forum) if I felt I was back on track, due to some heavy cleans and DB weights I'd used on recent workouts...Here's my reply...thought some of you might be wondering as well. And, if you're not...well haha click BACK and you'll find interesting reading on the BX forum. ;)

Yes, I'm back to at least 4-5 workouts a week. (and have been since the beginning of September) Some days I just don't want to work out but I go anyway. My metcon is still subpar for me and so my times are not that great. I think I'm finally getting me feet back for running. Yesterday I did that Thruster box jump workout with about 40 percent of my BW and the other ladies were using lighter weights than me and it took me twice as long. But i did the 24" box jumps which still scare me. Then I went into Kenpo and Sifu Dan (Big D) made us do an indian run with abotu 20 students running. We ran 800m and I had to sprint twice. I only stopped near the end after my last sprint.

THEN we had to spar the upper belts and everyone said I did well. I was totally smoked after that.

Todays' time was much more satisfying but I think the prescribed weight on that was supposed to be bodyweight cleans. Jeff told me to do the 95# that I had done for the Thursday workout.

All in all, I'm getting closer to where I was. I'm still very dissappointed in how much metcon output I've lost. grrrr.

I'm going to try to find my max Clean sometime in the next week. That 95# is not easy but definitely much easier than it was a year ago!

Saturday - Happy Birthday Jon!

Brand X Saturday AM

We did a birthday workout for JDG today in the Saturday AM class at Brand X

I don’t recall seeing him there hmmmm....

3 rounds

9 Power cleans
19 Pull ups
69 Squats

I didn’t see any scaling on the board but GD scaled folks weights as appropriate.

I used 95 pounds and got the first five cleans out of the gate without even resetting my grip. That was cool.

20:38

Thursday - Death by Clean and Jerk

With a continuously running clock do one 135 pound Clean and Jerk the first minute, two 135 pound Clean and Jerks the second minute, three 135 pound Clean and Jerks the third minute… continuing as long as you are able.

Use as many sets each minute as needed.

I completed 6 rounds and did 3 reps in the 7th minute. With 95#
