Mobility
2 sets of 10 Leg Swings per leg in each direction (front-to-back, side-to-side).
Strength
Work up to a 1RM Deadlift, rest 4 mins, then deadlift 90% of that as many reps as possible.
WOD
Grab a sandbag and sprint uphill to the telephone pole 3 times. Walk down in between, and record each time and the sandbag weight.
Al, you’re such a badass! Haven’t seen you in way too long 🙂
I guess I’m psychic, because I did heavy-ish DLs today after my lifting. Not a 1RM (I’ll save that for the meet Sept. 22), but worked up to my hopeful 2nd attempt:
295#
did not do anything after that and won’t pull deads again until the meet (unless cleans count as light super fast deadlifts…)
DL: 200# (new PR + 10#), 3 @ 189#
Hill sprints: 35.9,36.6, 35.2 @32#
DL: 207# (PR + 18 or 20# I think), 1@185, 3@157
Hill sprints: 33@24#, 29, 30.3@19#
A good day for PRs. Man, 20# is a big jump. Good work!
Deadlift: 400# (PR +15#)
Sprints: 34#; 25, 23, and 21 sec
Also a 46″ box jump to warm up (48″ was scary).
Then broke a 16-hour fast with 16 oz raw milk, whey, creatine, peaches, and a 1/2-lb beef and 2-egg omelette.
what no peanutbutter?!
DL: 211# (heavy but no PR), 187#x4
WOD: 36, 36, 35 (with a 23# bag)
249# and 6 x 205#
32# at 29,30,30
DL: 204# (PR +5)
Didn’t bother with 90% since it felt like I was about to dislocate my shoulder on my 1RM.
WOD: 29, 30, 33 @ 32# (5, 2, & 1 sec faster than last time with 8# more weight)
DL: 395# (PR +40), 90% 325# x 5
WOD: (55#) 35, 29, 31
SECOND DAY OF PR +40#
Nice!
311# (4 off my PR, but I doubt I was doing that safely) and 4×277#
44# bag, 27, 29, 27 sec
325#
297 x 4
DL: 187pr; 10 @165…methinks I did not actually reach a 1RM at 187…
Run: :41, :38, :35 @32#
DL: 189 x 3 (4 sets) figuring out form
Run: 23, 23, 25 (to first pole) @ 33#
DL: 371#, 320#x6
WOD: 28, 32, 35 (with a 55# bag)
DL: 249# ( PR by 44#), 205# x 2. I’ve decided I like weight belts.
WOD: 30, 31, 29 @ 31#
hell yeah
DL: 199# (down from my last 1rm but I haven’t done deadlifts in a year)
WOD: 31, 30, 32 @32#
not a good day, but I think the first week of any paleo-esk challenge always kills you in energy levels
DL- 182#, 3 @ 170
WOD- 36, 34, 34 @ 32#
PR on the DL!
DL: 325, 297×4
DL 1 RM = 347 (PR + 2#) on saturday makeup
WOD = 4 rounds dips until failure pull ups until failure, results = too pathetic to post!
Happy where I am already with the layoff and injury! Feel blessed 🙂
Forgot, 315# x 3 @ 90%ish
oops… and BP 1 RM = 245#
Burn out at 185 ~ 9 reps
Burn out at 135 ~ didnt count
Much thanks to Elizabeth for the “special” spot, and great instruction on bench pressing!!
anytime, Bill! I’m all about efficient form
