Warmup:
3 Rounds of:
-2 Turkish Get-Ups
-5 Butterfly Pullups
-5 36" Box Jumps
SWOD:
"Jerk Complex"
-3 Strict Press 1 Push Press 1 Split Jerk @ 86#
-2 Strict Press 1 Push Press 1 Split Jerk @ 119#
-1 Strict Press 1 Push Press 1 Split Jerk @ 140#
-1 Push Press 1 Split Jerk @ 172
-1 Split Jerk @ 194, then 1 Split Jerk @ 210# (PR)
After 4 consecutive weeks of missing 210#, I finally hit it. I was honestly more relieved than excited...was starting to feel like I had hit a plateau. Hopefully I will hit 215# before New Years.
Metcon:
15:00 AMRAP of:
-10 Ground to Overhead @ 120#
-15 Toes to Bar
-20 Double-Unders
5 rounds + 2 Overheads
I went right at the prescribed percentage for my overheads, but I was able to move through this WOD without much rest at all. Either I'm getting really good, or the weight was too light. And I'm positive it wasn't the first one. Oh well, lesson learned.
I'm 6 feet tall, 180lbs (maybe after Thanksgiving dinner), and I have trouble filling out the shoulders in a "smedium" t-shirt. But that doesn't mean I can't be strong. Don't be confused: this blog is not about how a hard gainer can pack on the pounds. It's unhealthy to put on useless weight, and quite frankly, I haven't figured out how to do it. This is quite simply a detailed account of how I train to be strong, even though I'm built like a 6th grader.
