Welcome

a space where I will rant about: baseball, fitness training, MMA, comic books, video games, philosophy, politics, society, and general assclownery.
NOTE: I annotate all my lifting as weight x reps x sets, so 200x3x5 would be 200lbs done for three repetitions for five sets.

WOD 06.28.09

Row 500m
30 Burpees
10 Push Jerks 165lbs

Time 5:33


Dropped the bar early on the push jerks had to clean it back up to the rack, cost me alot more time than it should have. I think I can sneak in under 5 next time.

WOD 06.27.09

Bench Press 5x1
255x1
275x1
300x1
315xF


Kinda pissed I nailed 315 a few weeks ago, but I knew I had nothing today, 275 felt heavier than it should have.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps for time of:
Deadlift, 1.5x BW
Ring Dips (strict)

5:27 as rx'd (262.5lbs)

Weight was perfect, heavy enough that going unbroken was difficult. I still say kipping dips aren't bullshit though, but I don't mind doing them strict every now and again.

WOD 06.10.09

5 Rounds for time of
5 Overhead Squats at 115lbs
10 Pull-ups

3:11 as RX'd

Should have scaled up a touch, the bar was light enough that I didn't really have to pay attention to technique much at that weight. It was fun moving fast though

WOD 06.08.09

Bench Press
225x5, 245x5, 255x5, 275x5, 280x2

4th set was a struggle, didn't have much left for the last one. Would be interesting to see if I could get 280x5 fresh.

WOD 06.04.09

Complete 7 Rounds of
20 seconds of Deadlift 225lbs
40 seconds of Rest
20 seconds of Burpees
40 seconds of Rest

Reps:
DL 87
BP 79
Total 166

PR by a couple of reps. Last time I went out a litte harder on the first two rounds and was down to single digits by the end, having goals to shoot for helped me be more consistent this time around.

Tuesday, June 2, 2009

WOD 06.01.09

Deadlift
315x3, 405x3, 425x3, 455x3, 475x3 (PR)

I came pretty close to passing out on that last one, my vision went a little grey at the edges on the last pull and I had to drunk-walk over to the wall and sit down for a bit afterward.
