A. I like heaving the bar off my chest when I strict press…. But today everyone gave me crap about it so my new 1 rep without a bounce off my shoulders is 120 instead of 135. Need to get rid of bad habits. B. Deadlifts…. Worked up to 95% 350#… Didn’t feel like going heavier C. Ashleigh Kelsey Makenna and I decided to have ladies hour and did 3 rounds of 50 toes to bar 50 calories on the rower and 50 thrusters at 75# in teams of 2. Ashleigh and I got 19:22 D. Cashed out with 5… Read more »

Strength
A. 160,165,170,175,180. Weights were lighter than the listed percentages. Slow build.
B. 275,345,390,455, F475.
C. Done with 6 dead lifts
Conditioning
A. 13:58. Broke up first 2 sets of thrusters. Had a good break up scheme for t2b. Can shorten my rest between toes to bar. Been starting off too fast on some conditioning workouts. Was more content with this workout than some recent priors. Hip flexor has improved quicker than expected.

Prim Strength
A) 155/160/170/185/199f so close tried three times then tried 192 not happenin’
B) 290/340/395/450/477/502
C) done UB 8 reps

I’m adding lots of strength stuff and starting to slim down the conditioning. Not doing the open this year cause I can’t hang in SoCal, I’m not strong enough. I’m working on strength and Oly technique.

Michael, thanks for the complement, means a lot. Coach Tino and I have discussed this. I will be at 8000ft for the first three workouts plus the gym that I will have access to does not have a pull-up bar that allows for kipping. This is the 2nd time in 3 years that work has gotten in the way of the open. I can manage expectations and keep myself sane this way. We all put in a ton of effort. If your on this page, wopping it on everyday we are all doing this for a purpose. I’m just trying… Read more »

Shoulder press: up to 90% then failed the set of 2
Accessory strength and core from yesterday

Deadlift double overhand just based it off 365 because I don’t know what I can hook grip. Failed set at 95%

Back felt tweaky with 225 and then 155 warming up for emom so just did hip extensions

27-21-15-9
Rowing/ttb: 7:22
Felt slow and sad even without a third movement.

Tapping out and going home early to rest

225lb. comes up at competition so it may be the best idea to adjust reps but keep the load ONLY if its safe to do. Otherwise you would scale load and make sure form is perfect.

Yes that’s what I did yesterday. I’m slowly creeping toward that weight and gaining the confidence to use it but I knew I’d be ok for maybe one or two sets and that was it. On the positive side. ..its the first time I have done 95 for reps in a conditioning piece. ..I have to get more strenth and confidence though which I’m workin on with this movement…This cycle has definately helped with that!
