The latest, so close to throwing it down!



10 Jan 13

Basketball day!!! Played 4 games and only won one game. Didn't shoot that great but got a good sweat going. Pretty fun.

C&J Complex
EMOM for 7 min
1 Power Clean + 1 Front Squat + 1 Push Jerk
135, 135, 145, 145, 155, 155, 175
Almost missed the last power clean cause I wasn't focusing on my lift. I got it.

Deadlift
5 x 205
5 x 235
3 x 5 x 250
1 x 8 x 250
Felt good. Tried to really brace my abs on each lift. I think it helped with my back soreness. Going to hit a WOD this evening when I get to Hurlburt.

Well I didn't do a WOD but I did play basketball for about an hour. I warmed up with some DUs, got about 25 in a row which is a PR for me. I am jumping a lot higher than ever before. I think it's obvious that increased strength leads to increase jumping. After I finish this cycle of strength I will transition into an olympic focus with strength maintenance and add box jumps.

1 Hang Power Snatch + 5 OHS
45, 95, 105, 115, 125
I really need to work on OHS. My shoulder stability is terrible.

Press
5 x 125
5 x 135
4 x 5 x 145
Not bad. Didn't push too hard.

I planned on doing another WOD but I got sucked into another basketball game. Played pretty good and had several good jumps. I'm getting over the rim pretty easily. I know I can put down a good oop.

No olympic lifts today. I'm not going to be able to lift heavy the rest of this week, so I need to do Squat and Bench today.

Squat
5 x 45
5 x 135
5 x 155
5 x 185
3 x 215
2 x 230
1 x 245
8 x 260
Felt pretty good. My foot has been pretty sore for the last few days, not sure why, but I'm going to work some flexibility and mobility this week.

Bench
5 x 135
5 x 155
3 x 185
3 x 195
3 x 210
8 x 220
Probably could have done 10, but held back a bit.

    1. Thanks man. I hope so. I think on a good day with a wooden floor, I could put one down. Just have to wait and see.
