21-15-9 of:

Sumo Deadlift High Pull (M95lbs/F65lbs)

Oye! This mirror image Fran was a beast. My wrists and forearms were shot.
Makes me want to re-think making any serious attempts a Fran for a while yet...

28 Apr 09 - ME Deadlift



Deadlift

3-2-2-1-1-1


WU: 10x135, 5X185, 205-215-235-245-255-265PR!!


I am really happy with this pull. I think I have 285 in me, with a little less warm up and starting with heavier weights.

All in all, not bad for a buttercup

27 Apr 09 - Burpee Double Unders

50-40-30-20-10 of:

Burpees
Double Unders



Oye! This one got in your head. Although by the time you got to the 20s it went quickly.

I am proud to say that I did it just fast enough that Kris couldn't do it in half the time (***shakes head in shame***)

Freaking doubles!

24 Apr 09 - Mid Atlantic Quals rip off

For time:
Run 400M
21 OHS (95/65)
21 Burpees
Run 400M
15 OHS
15 Burpees
Run 400M
9 OHS
9 Burpees


17:14 @ 55lbs


This one is up there in my top 5 favorite workouts, even with the runs. Actually I wore my I heart running shirt as a joke, but the runs were a hell of a lot easier and faster than normal, so I may have to break out the shirt more often.

I could have gone heavier, but it sure was nice to just power through a workout at full speed, and not struggle so much with getting the weight off the ground. In fact I was able to power snatch the load every time, which saved a hell of a lot of time over clean/push-press to the back/regrip/push-press

23 Apr 09 - ME Snatch

Snatch

3-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1

*These are all full squat snatches. If you catch in a power snatch, it will be a failed rep.


We didn't really follow the rep scheme, we just mess around with them.

My best for the day was 70 Lbs

22 Apr 09 - BW Deads and Doubles

"Deadlift Double Unders"

For Time:

Bodyweight Deadlift, 30 reps
100 Double Unders



BW 190 - 11:35 @ 185

I should have gone 195 as I think that is closer to my body weight now-a-days. My deadlifts weren't horrendous... hopefully I'll be able to tighten up my form and get it more consistent.

Freaking double unders!

Run 400 Meters

I guess it was OK for my first go at Nicole, I doubt she was impressed.... I never was very interesting on first dates :)

20 Apr 09 - Pausing Front Squats

"Pausing Front Squats"
3-3-3-3-3

Pause at the bottom of each rep for 2-3 seconds.


95-105-115-125-135-185 (PR)


I am very excited about my 10 Lbs PR on the front squats, particularly since it was a triplet and with the pause at the bottom removing in chance of using bounce out of the hole.

On the last set of three, was the first I've ever really felt my hamstrings drive me out of the hole... I think that this means it was the first time I done ME squats properly :)

On top of that I power cleaned all the way through to my second to last attempt, which means I have a new PR of 135 on the clean!

It was a good day....

15 Apr 09 - Athlete's Choice

150 Burpees
or
400m Walking Lunges

22:37


I renamed this one Walking Wet T-shirt Contest, since Gabe decided to remove the choice and make everyone in the PM group do the lunges...in the rain...

It sucked immensely, but I'm glad I did it. And like Amber said, "think of how great your asses will look after this."
