Started out with sore shoulders and also felt my back muscles as sore tight on the first few pull ups.  I made the ring rows pretty challenging, more horizontal.  Due to the crazy weather I altered the muscle up drill and took a video of my best attempt.  It was just too snowy and windy outside to do these under the garage.  Lame weather, sick of it.  By the third set of wide grip pull ups I was doing singles.  The power cleans got tough on the grip/wrists and pumped up my biceps.  Thanks!

145, 150, 155

Solid focused workout.  Snatch pulls at 120 still feel fast, when I’ve gone above that I notice my speed drop.  I have typically gotten a bit nauseous with back extensions so I have to go pretty slow.  Did really well with them today and was happy to get two sets with weight.  The D series was tough, it was the courage to pick up the heavy weight at 30 seconds and go.  A cool challenge, not easy for me.  Thanks!

Done

I was stoked about the HS walking.  It just felt good today.  On the second set I had one walk that I missed but was almost 10 feet.  And then I finished one with 15 seconds left and thought ‘what the heck, i’ll try to squeeze one more in’.  And I did it!  I was also pumped about the ease of the deficit hspu’s today.  The Russian dips were hard but I love them.  I think they help a ton with strength in that tight shoulder position.  They definitely made the dips and push ups fatigue.  The S2O at 85 was a 15rm, last rep was a shaky push jerk. Thanks!

Daily score: 6 (still fighting cold and up coughing at night)

Workout:

19.2

165 reps

I made it through the second set of double unders and probably would have gotten a rep or two at 115 but was dumb enough to not have that weight out and on the bar.  But I really only had maybe 7 seconds.  I couldn’t believe how quickly my ttb fell apart!  I was planning on doing sets of 5 but only got two sets of 5 and was down to singles by 20.  DU’s went well in 2 sets of 25.  Did the cleans 3/4/4/4.  The second set of ttb were a few doubles then all singles.  Lots of room to improve, would be great to have healthy lungs for this one too.  Glad I did it, was good to feel the burn.  Thanks!

March 2, 2019

Daily score: 6 (cold dragging out, turning more into a cough, worse at night, but the sleep disruption slows me down during the day)

Workout:

AM
100y kick for time with board

3:25

+
Underwater dolphin kick swims - 10 attempts; rest as needed bw

3/10 I made the whole length without a breath (with fins)

+
vertical kick; 15 seconds on/15 seconds off x10 sets

done x10

+
Swim 200 easy and continuous


4:11


I chose to just swim today and do the open workout tomorrow after being up coughing most of the night.  Swimming felt great and flushed my sinuses.  The vertical kicking is cool, harder than I thought with the short intervals.  Do you mean for the dolphin kicking to be done with fins?  I did it this way because it seemed to make more sense but thought I should ask.  I just kick with the fins and keep my arms held static out in front.  Thanks!

rest 5 min
20 min amrap:
1 min tough pace on the bike trainer

This workout actually made me feel better, like it cleared my chest/head a bit.  Really enjoyed the split jerks, did most of them as quick touch and go's.  I had a couple guys join me for the amraps and they really helped push me.  I definitely went my fastest.  Thanks!
