145# Split jerk

10 rep squats with new form/tips



Snatch practice useful as always.  I haven't split jerked in awhile and it was feeling so good, I went heavy and PR'd without any drama.  Back squats were rough.  I'm really working on going low and keeping my hips under the bar and chest up.  You can see in the video that even with light weight by rep 7/8 I start to lift my butt back and have a hard time correcting it.  DB split squats were hard because of the 4 second hold in the bottom and my legs were tired.  Went light and they were still challenging.  The WOD was fine, couldn't string T2B together today so I had to double kip all of them.  My grip was smoked.  Thanks!

This was the first time I've done RDLs not as single leg.  Again I felt myself shifting the work to the right and tried to correct that.  Sumo stance good mornings were the same issue and felt a little awkward because of the stance.  The KB swings were challenging the last 3 reps.  Next week I'll try the 70#.  I just know with that one 12 reps is close to my max.  The WOD was tougher than I thought it would be just because of how long it took, how many rounds.  But it felt solid.  Thanks!

Daily score: 4

Workout:

A. Front rack jerk grip sotts press; 5x5; rest 90 seconds

43,48,53,58,58

B1. Bent knee hollow body hold; 30 seconds x5; rest 30 seconds

30 x 5

B2. Arch body hold; 30 seconds x5; rest 30 seconds

30 x 5

B3. Turkish get ups; 3 slow controlled perfect reps/side x5; rest 3 min

26# KB, 6 x 5

C. L-sit holds; 30 seconds x5; rest 2 min

30 x 5 (each 30 divided into 3 tries)

D. DB side bends; 12-15x4; rest 2 min

25 x15
35 x 15
40 x 15
45 x 15

Sotts press was more about balance than the weight.  Although the 58# was a little heavy for the 5th rep.  The hollow and arch body holds were easy enough.  Turkish get ups were kinda challenging, it's been awhile.  Left arm is weaker but right shoulder is less stable.  L-sit holds still suck, longest I got was 13 seconds.  I liked the DB side bends...I have a suspicion I will be sore from them though.  Thanks!

D. Barbell hip thrusts; 12-15x3; rest 2 min

95 x 15
105 x12
105 x 12

Snatching felt good, seems like it's been awhile.  It was good to get a chance to practice Burgener's tips.  I definitely have not been rotating my armpits forward because that feels different and is a hard habit to change.  But it feels way more stable.  Zombie squats...yes, they were light.  I was not feeling well but still really needed to lift so I knew it wouldn't be a heavy day...but wow.  Doing those correctly like Burgener wanted with chest up and hips under the bar...they were challenging at 45#.  Good mornings went fine but I definitely noticed that I shift to my right leg and have to focus on using my left side too.  Back extensions were harder than I expected.  Barbell hip thrusts felt good.  Thanks!

Eccentric pull ups were way easier this week.  I think because last week my upper body was so sore when I did them.  The last couple reps were pretty tough though.  Barbell rows and planche leans went fine.  I got a few longer lean holds so that was good.  I can do the skin the cats but the challenge is getting fulling extended and then coming back, it's the re-engagement before the return flip that was the hard part.  I cut the reps down on the last 3 sets because I was getting super nauseated. Lame, I know.  Once it started I could seem to get it to go away.  But I enjoyed the challenge of them and didn't want to stop.  FLR was good.  Knee raises I did in sets of 5 until 30 and then broke into 3's in order to keep the tempo legit.  Thanks!

Workout:

A. Power clean; build to a tough single

B1. TnG power snatch; 5 reps x5; rest 10 sec

B2. 5 high box jumps x5; rest 2 min
30 inch

15 min amrap:
15 KBS 2 pood (russian)
30 double unders

6 + 100m

Power clean uneventful.  Snatch/box jumps felt good.  Working on not raising my butt so fast on the pull and getting my armpits forward overhead, like Burgener instructed.  I was feeling a hint of the 'jumper's knee' prior to the WOD and thought it wise not to double under.  So I did the KBS and the 250m rows.  It was tough.  Knee is just a faint soreness.
