Tuesday - Thrusters 1-1-1-1-1-1

Done at home and finished before midnight so it counts as today’s workout (rest day tomorrow.)

Thrusters 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

warmed up with 65 x5 (neck roll, stretch, GO!)

95-100-105-105 (goof)-110-115

Definitely a Max effort on that last one. And everything after 100 is a PR.

oh that was only 5 singles. D'OH! Oh wait, now I remember during set 5 I had removed 2.5# plates on either side and missed putting the 5# plate on one side. So I lifted an uneven 105 on that round.

Monday - "Connor"

@work for TopDawg’s birthday:

“CONNOR”
amrap 20min
65#
5 DL
5 Hang power clean
5 front squat
5 push press
5 back squat

9 rounds + 5 DL + 5 PP

Pretty sure is a PR. Happy Birthday, Instructor Connor!

Sunday - "Nate" Modified 8rds.

“Nate” Pack:
Complete as many rounds in 15 (I did 20) minutes as you can of:

2 Seated Muscle-ups
4 Handstand Push-ups - kick up to barrier with feet on back of couch
8 1.0-Pood Kettlebell swings
Women 1.0 pood
If you do not rings to do seated muscle ups use a 3/1 sub of pull ups and dips

got 8 rounds in 20 but my HSPU deteriorated badly and seated muscle ups became squat mu x 4 instead of 2 seated mu.

'Ed Freeman'
5 rounds
200m run
max pull ups
max push ups.'
RIP EF.

I was able to keep a pretty steady pace throughout. Tried to keep the Meters per second at 35...varied between 34 and 38. Not bad.

I can only find a record of a 2k row at 8:52 so this is my longest rowing distance. Did in place of the Run 5k WOD.

DT : Modified (I'm baaaack. I think.)

Hi all…been off my workouts for weeks now. My work schedule is going to be bad for a while so went to gym today at work.

Warmup:
2 x
Row 250m (1:03, 1:01)
10 push ups
10 squats
5 pull ups
(on the smith machine pull up rig. Which was good because I never have been able to kip on that thing but i did today!)

DT - Porch Rounds with weight mod

95# deadlift x 12
95# HPC x 9
95# Push Jerk x 6

21:53

My first round was just over 5 minutes. But the second and third rounds were awful. I had no access to tape or chalk so I had to regrip after mostly sets of 2 and one on the HPC. Ended up doing lots more DL/CL combos than was efficient.

Probably should have gone down to 75# and did 5 rounds. Maybe.

And yes, this is how our new kitchen floor looks. It's not sealed so currently covered in some kind of protective paper while we finish the cabinets and counters. It's nearly done.

Sunday...did a workout as it turns out....

I have been working on my kitchen all weekend and didn’t get in to work out at BX…so today I did an old home version of Elizabeth that subs push ups for Ring Dips. Everyone knows how slow my pushups tend to be so I usually sub 1:1 and call it even.

21-15-9
Power Cleans 95#
Push ups

~10 minutes
I hit the wrong button on my cell phone stopwatch utility and the timer cleared but I think it was either right under 10 or right over it. I did the first 21 cleans in under 3 minutes. 2:45 I think.

I need to workout today but I'm doing tile work in the kitchen instead.

100 squats ??

Total time 26:23

FirmDancer - 21 March 2009 01:12 PM
LauraR - 21 March 2009 11:00 AM
Ran a mile (9:17pr)

Firmdancer: Did you just recently set a running PR? and now another one!

Yes, FD…I knew when I posted the 9:30 I had mentally not tried to run fast…I had 2 more miles to run. So today I tried to run faster and about halfway through had tired myself out and WALKED a good 15 to 20 steps…thinking I had killed my chance to beat 9:30. I checked the time before the last downhill stretch and the clock said 8:20. I sprinted down the hill hoping to beat 9:00 but was happy to beat the 9:30.

I will take that PR and break it soon…my 100 push up PR is by about 5-6 minutes….as GD predicted the Zone fixes a lot of things. I haven’t been 100% zoning but I have been a lot better. It’s showing in my workouts.

Diane - some ramblings about my PR

So I PR'd on my Diane time yesterday.

When I looked at my stopwatch after the first 21 deadlifts (which were broken) it was about 3.5 minutes in. I thought it wasn't too bad and that I might could finish up the workout in under 10 if I pushed.

My first round of HSPU were with my feet on a low box and with my hands as far in as I could do. Sets were broken, but I don't recall how much...it was about 5.5 minutes on the stopwatch when I fell headfirst off the box.

Still thinking under 10, if I could crank out 15 deadlifts and 15 HSPU...Pushed the form envelope a little on the DLs to get them out in two sets. Then the HSPU in 3 sets.

7ish by then.

Then I did the last round of DL 4, 3, 2. Did the HSPU in 5,3,1.

Stopped the watch at 10:20.4...and cursed!

Then I did a search on this blog and found my last time....18:43 I think in October of 08...and the time before that 19:39. I had been happy to break 20 on that one. LOL.

I guess the HSPU challenge and the Barbell cert really helped me. Oh and maybe my diet is helping too. ;) And GD's private coaching. Well I have a lot of good things to thank for that PR I guess.

Diane - 10:20 -- apparently this is a pretty big PR

Had to work out at home. Since I wanted to pick one of the BX class workouts I missed, I decided to do Diane (instead of 110 burpees, duh!).

Tuesday (private) - Deadlifts/Run/Ring dips

I'm back! Here are the phone pictures from the trip.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/35940177@N04/sets/72157614712691020/
I took probably 500 with my camera and haven't loaded to an online album yet.

Today, Private with Jeff:

Work on deadlifts up to a set of 2 and 1 of 205. Then he loaded up a 155# bar.

5 rounds

Jeff says all but round 4 were about 4 minutes and round four was where I fell apart with the deadlifts. Still said I should be proud of myself. So I will be.

I am glad I'm back at the private sessions.

Barbell Certification with Coach Rippetoe

2 days of learning not only how to coach the 5 lifts described in "Starting Strength, Basic Barbell Training", but how to execute the lifts more effectively, based on an understanding of bone and muscle anatomy, motor recruitment and kinetic chains.

Day 1,

Morning: Lecture on anatomical terminology related to bone, muscle and tendon relationships. Shoulder muscle and bone anatomy, spinal position, arm angles, leverage and moment arms.

Lecture on the back squat. Testing for awareness of lower back muscles. Foot position, bar positions, pressing knees out, sending butt back before bending the knees, going below parallel, coming out of the bottom by letting your hips rise first before you open the hip.

Practical instruction on the back squat.
Coaching eachother in groups of 5 for 4 warmups sets and 3 worksets of 5 back squats. 2 with empty bar, 2 with intermediate weight and 3 work sets with the same weight. Last workset of each attendee watched and critiqued by the whole group and Rip.

Early Afternoon: Lecture on the press (standing, shoulder press) Why do we call it the press and not the shoulder press?..because the only other press is the leg press and thats just stupid. Foot position, Rack position, Straight Bar path, full extention and lockout.

Practical instruction on the press.
Coaching eachother in groups of 5 for 4 warmups sets and 3 worksets of 5 presses. 2 with empty bar, 2 with intermediate weight and 3 work sets with the same weight. Last workset of each attendee watched and critiqued by the whole group and Rip.


After lunch: Lecture on the bench press. Value of the bench press for general strength. Position on bench, feet on floor, hip tilted, back arch by hips being pressed into bench , hand position, Straight Bar path and focus point on ceiling (Look the bar up), full extention and lockout. Spotting and safety.

Practical instruction on the bench press.
Coaching eachother in groups of 5 for 4 warmups sets and 3 worksets of 5 bench resses. 2 with empty bar, 2 with intermediate weight and 3 work sets with the same weight. Last workset of each attendee watched and critiqued by the whole group and Rip.

Firday - Fran 65# 6:25

In 6pm at BrandX

Fran

21-15-9
Thrusters
Pullups

6:25

So this is NOT my best time (6:22 is, with no one on one coaching and no rack for the bar), But:

All the thrusters were unbroken, ie the bar stayed racked if I needed a break. Jeff wasn't "yelling" at me the entire time or taking the bar out of my hands at the top of the thruster because he was afraid I'd drop it. He did come by a couple times to tell me I could too do it. LOL. The pull ups killed my time. I had to break them up because I'm out of practice, though I did do better at them than anticipated. I was afraid I'd be breaking them at 4 and 5 but I managed several sets of 7,8 and at least one set of 10 and I did the last set unbroken even though I was not happy with the ROM, because my weakness is quitting while I still have some reps in me.

Bragging Bragging Bragging.
Jeff said I had to!

LauraR - 03 February 2009 10:45 AM
hmmm lets see I think I did an entire workout of PR’s. Well maybe not. I’m posting all of it here even though I’m not sure which are PR’s until I got to the 95’s. And because I did it under metabolic distress, I’m claiming all of it.

Running and Power clean workout in Private with Jeff

5 rounds of Power cleans, with a 200m between sets, go up in weight each round.

(Run) 15@65
(Run) 12@75
(run) 9@95 (was it unbroken? I forget, it might have been 7 then singles for 9.)
(Run) 6@115 (2 sets of three)
(Run) 1@125, 2@120 (A bunch of failed at 125. Jeff totally coached me to get that PR. )

The 125# power clean is a one rep PR, previous max was 120.
I squat cleaned the 120’s. At least the first one and possibly the second one. Those are PR’s for Squat Cleans.

TOTALLY STOKED. Thanks again, Coach.

HandStand PushUp Challenge

I've been doing the handstand pushup challenge since Jan 1st.

It's part of my meager 2009 goals.

The other goals are: Clean up my diet to be more Zone-like, Get a muscle up, Get back into private training.

I had my first private of the year last week and it felt good. I've been eating better and kept up with the challenge.

I feel like I should be able to get a real HSPU but I'm doing modified HSPU for the challenge. I tried to get a full range one the other day and failed miserably.

I'm not posting the HSPU here on my blog but I am logging it in the thread for the challenge on Brand X.

Today I have to do 50 modifed handstand pushups. Yikes. This is getting difficult.

Worked on some lifting that wasn’t the total.

Hang power snatch 5x5
50, 60, 65, 70, 75 (PR)

I need to "shrug more aggressively"...which is typical for me.

Hang power clean 5x4 (got interrupted)
75, 80, 85, 90

Push jerk 5x5
75, 80, 85, 90, 100 (PR)

1/2 Karen/Grace merger 7:59

I did seated muscle ups but my shoulders are so trashed from HSPU challenge I had to use a foot on the floor to assist on some of the dips.
HSPU with feet on a box/tire for about half the rounds then I went to knees on box so I could be more vertical and still get correct ROM.

Used the 24kg (53#) kettlebell. Did about half the rounds with unbroken swings.

Erik kept me motivated through the last 5 minutes. I got my ninth round with 15 seconds to spare and a set of unbroken KB swings.

adding 10 piked HSPU

Food; 1/05/08

Prepackaged, marinated fresh chicken breasts cook nicely in our toaster over. A bag of pre cut broccoli you steam in the store bag and a fresh cut up cara cara orange.

3 oz of chicken, 1 cup of cooked broccoli and 1/2 an orange. Added a cup of whole milk.

Breakfast was 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of cut up fresh pineapple.

Lunch was a turkey, pepperjack cheese and sour dough bread sandwich. I ate half the sandwiche then the meat and cheese out of the other half.

I had a little bit more cottage cheese and pineapple with a bit of a nutbar before I left work to go to Brand X.

No excuses to eat poorly at Costco.

This is the Chicken Ceasar Salad for 3.99 at their outdoor food court. Along with the Turkey Cheese Wrap, it adds a healthy alternative to the giant artery clogging hot dogs and sugar laden frozen treats.

I'm attempting to stick close to the zone so I was very happy to see this hiding at the very end of the menu. It was too big for me to eat all of it.

6 HSPU, feet on trash can outside navy hospital courtyard.

I suck at HSPU
