Strength:
20 Minute Running Clock:
-5 Minutes to hit 1RM Snatch
-5 Minutes to hit 2RM Back Squat
-5 Minutes to hit 3RM Push Press
-5 Minutes to hit 5RM Deadlift
Snatch: 115/135/155/175(f)/175(f)/175
Back Squat: 225/275/295/305x1 (failed second rep)
Push Press: 95/115/145/165
Deadlift: 225/315/385
I felt quick on the snatches today. Was only 5# short of a PR. I think with a longer timeframe I could have hit a new PR. Back squats were rough....push presses felt strong but ran out of time for additional sets. Deadlifts were brutal.
Conditioning:
5 RFT:
-5 Power Cleans @ 205#
-10 Burpee Pullups to a 1' Target
13:22.
The high target on the burpee pullups taxed me. Wasn't able to come out of the burpee and go right into my jump. My motor is weak right now.
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.
