15 min amrap:

15 ohs (65#)

15 CTB chin ups

30 double unders

30 hand release push ups

A. 155

B. 3:30

+

30 push ups short of 3 rounds

Training did not feel good today. The clean were feeling extremely heavy, 155 is usually not hard for me to clean but today it didn't feel good. Since I am used to the technique of the split jerk, doing a power clean and push jerk was a little awkward but I'm pleased where I ended up. The 30 clean and push jerks for time felt alright but I was really winded right away. Definitely something to work on. The 15 min amrap wasn't that great, I remember just standing around a lot and resting. I need to work on minimizing my rest time and quicker transitions. Overall today wasn't the greatest training day, but that's how it goes. Some days are better than others. Tomorrow is an olympic lifting clinic so that should be pretty sweet.

A. Clean grip deadlift, build to a 3RM touch and go

10-8-6-4-2
power snatch (85 pounds)
bar facing burpees


A. 255
B. 85, 95, 105

5:52

the snatches during the WOD felt surprisingly good, and I was pleased I wasn't stopping to rest as much as I usually do. I think I am getting better about mental toughness. The 3RM deadlifts also felt really good, I was able to do 3 reps at 255 without much struggle at all. Definitely happy with how today went!

rest day

2/19/2013

AMRAP in 90 minutes:

1300 meter row
200 meter farmer carry (1.5 pood in each hand)
15 wall walks
42 double unders

4 rounds+ row, carry, and 5 wall walks

This didn't feel good, I didn't know how to really pace it since it was such a long amount of time. The farmers carry was definitely the hardest part but I was pleased that I didn't have problems with the lungs, it was mostly muscle fatigue
