Short, Heavy, Hard

Sunday had us at Mem Gym for a potent functional fitness combo - gymnastics + explosive lifting. We warmed up with some progressions for the front lever (on a bar, not the rings), moving from skinning the cat to actual lever attempts with spotters. After that, we did a sweet metcon...

4 rds for time:
10x DB hang split clean (heavy as you can go for an unbroken set)
5x HSPU (scale movement as needed)

This is classic, good ole fashioned CF programming: a couplet consisting of a heavy movement and a gymnastics movement. Thanks to Forney for the lever instruction and workout idea. Keep up the hard work this week. I won't be organizing a group workout this Sunday because of Spring Break, but if anyone is interested in putting something together, send out an email or post a comment to gauge interest.

Well, after 10 days of not hitting any WOD, and sugar loading my body with Puerto Rican desserts (and some poundage) later:

Max rounds in 20 min of:
5 HSPU
10 L-PUs
15 Lunges

Rounds - 5 + 4 HSPU (L-PUs are NOT a good way to start back up)

Got my OL shoes the day before yesterday and used them for the Total today in the Squat and the Press:

Squat - 225 (PR by 10)
Press - 115 (PR by 10)
Deadlift - 245 (-10)

I don't know what the hell is up with my DL...still not hitting my PR! Pretty frustrating.

The shoes are fun, though (VS Athletics). You really feel the difference from the Chucks. I put on my Chucks for the DL right after having on the OL shoes, and I could feel some cushioning in there...never felt it before. Solidly stable for driving from the bottom of the squat.

Snatch work: triplets, doubles, and singles up to 175lb (PR)

OL shoes are fun...
