Friday, March 26: Snatch, Muscle-up and Mountain WOD 3


Well today I kind of went through the motions of what it would have been like to do the Mountain Sectionals WOD's 1 and 3, but not 2. My lower legs are too beaten up after doing box jumps to run. I can say with total certainty I would not have been able to pull off a top 3 finish their, those WOD's are not my kinda thing... but we'll see.

Warm Up:
Snatch 5-4-3-2-1

Jacob 90-110-120-130-140

WOD 1
Snatch 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

140-150-150-150-160-160-160

WOD 2 (Mountain Sectionals WOD 3)
As many rounds in 10 minutes of:
6 Squat Cleans, 135lbs
9 CTB Pull-ups
12 Box Jumps, 24"

Jacob 6 Rounds +2 Squat Cleans, 6.07 Score (Mountain Sectional top 5 score spread 6.22-5.78)

I did this WOD with 145lb Squat Cleans cause I had 2 25lb bumpers on each side left over from my snatch attempts.

WOD 3
For time:
30 Muscle-ups

Jacob 3:53

I think if I had done WOD 1 from the mountain sectionals my best option would have been to pull a 150 on the snatch and just do as many muscle ups in 11 minutes or so. I've done 60 muscle ups for time in 10 minutes so I feel safe in estimating my score to fall in the 280's range, but that still would have only put me in the top 15 and knocked me out of the top 5 running most likely.

Thursday, March 25: Double Trouble Rest Day


Rest day for some of us, double trouble for others.

This can't be good...


And on a side note Shane "The Goods" Nowak made his first sale today with his new job and netted himself a hefty bounty. Way to go Shane, the first one's always the hardest to come by, but now it's all down hill.

Saturday, March 20: Back Squat


Wanted to try to recreate SoCal WOD 1 but all the snow outside really put the squash on that, so I think I'm have to try it another day. So I decided to back squat and test my knee and my hip that have felt tight lately, I think it went well.

Warm up:
Stretching 10-15 minutes

Back Squat 10-10-10-10-10

135-155-175-205-225(PR)

I don't think I've ever tried squating for a 10 rep max, but I know I have another 20lbs in me... I know it.

I didn't sleep well so I called a day early and have to go to work.

Friday, March 19: Finally SoCal WOD 3!


Workout 3 "Six Max Efforts"

Overview. This WOD is composed of six different individual events, each done for max effort. You will have 3 minutes for each event to complete your max effort, followed by 3 minutes of rest (when you move from one event to the next). You will be ranked in each event individually, earning you 6 independent scores. Your total score for this WOD is the cumulative rank of all 6 scores. For example, an athlete that is ranked 1 in all six events will get a score of 6, and will be ranked in first place for this WOD.

Event 1: Row - 3 minutes - max calories
3 min rest
Event 2: Deadlift (275#/185#) - 3 minutes - max reps
3 min rest
Event 3: L-sit - accumulate as many seconds as possible in 3 minutes
3 min rest
Event 4: Overhead Squat (95#/65#) - 3 minutes - max reps
3 min rest
Event 5: Pull-ups (chin over bar) - one max effort without coming off the bar
**must begin pull ups within 5 seconds of the start**
Rest begins when you finish your pull-ups until start of run (6 min after start of pull-ups)
Event 6: 800m Run for time

Jacob
1. 80 Calories (16 pts.)
2. 31 Deadlifts (13 pts.)
3. 62 Seconds L-sit (55 pts.)
4. 39 Overhead Squats (22 pts.)
5. 44 Pull-ups (1 pt.)
6. 2:51 800m Run (16 pts.)

Total Points 123 (Top 5 points spread in SoCal 133, 154, 170, 170 and 175)

The only to events I have to state might not have been Rx'd was the L-sit, I only had my perfect push-up hand holds to balance on and once my feet hit the ground I stopped counting (my hands were only 4" off the ground, not as much room as parralettes). And my 400m run was not on a track, it had several turns and even 6 stairs and hill at the end, so I guess it's still should count.

Thursday, March 18: Rest Day, Sick Day


I think I drank all 3 of these bottles today...ugh!

You will start the second workout exactly 20 minutes after you start the first one, so your rest is determined by the time it takes you to finish the first workout.

Thursday, March 11: HQ MOD WOD


Had to modify this one a bit since I don't have 50lb dumbbells, but I feel it's an honest sub.

3 rounds for time of:

30 Double-unders
25 L Pull-ups
20 Squat Cleans, 155lbs

Jacob 21:01 Rx'd

Game plan on this one was to get through the DU as quick as possible and then do 5 LPU's every 30 seconds, lastly doing 5 squat cleans on the minute. The L-ups where the hardest part to keep pace with, but I think if I went for 6 squat cleans a minute I'd be close to sub 20:00. Next time... when ever that will be?

Oh and on a PR note Nate broke the 7:00 mark on his Fran time. Way to go Nate!

Wednesday, March 10, 2010
