Noon weightlifting w/ Kelly
Today's stimulus was deadlifting from a slightly elevated height. Hit 345, matching a previous 'regular' DL record.

6pm group class w/ Kelly

Tonight's workout was the most destroyed I've felt in a LONG while. As a team of 2, we kept a running rep count between the 4 exercises, over 5 rounds with each partner performing a movement for 30 seconds, then resting for 30 while the other person performed the same movement, then person 1 starts their 30 sec of the next piece, and so on. 1 minute rest between each complete round.

• 155# Thrusters
• Burpees
• Piked/handstand pushups
• Pullups

I teamed up w/ Damien, and we got a total of 406. Lucas/JD got 410, the only other group doing 155#. I puked in the middle of round 4 but jumped back in to finish. We maintained a pretty consistent rep count across all 5 rounds.

730am w/ Kelly

After a solid warmup, we worked on getting a single heavy thruster, and a single 'snatch-grip' deadlift.

Once we had prepped, we got three 'official' attempts at each lift.

My lifts were at follows:
Thruster: 155/185/205
Snatch-grip DL: 235/275/--

If I knew that the 205 was going to leave as much room for more, I would've tried for something like 220 or 225. Next time.

Wide grip deadlifting I found to be difficult to hold onto. The last failed attempt was @ 305.

Noon workout w/ Adrian

We did a workout based on an interval called German Volume Training (GVT). It involves doing 10 reps of a movement (or close to it) and resting for 1 minute, for 10 rounds. If the athlete can sustain 10 reps for all 10 rounds, it's time to increase weight. The idea is to be very close to your maximum capacity for each round. I was doing the SSP too fast, per Adrian, so he had me pick up 50s instead of 40s.

We split it up into to movements; squatting and see-saw-press (alternating dumbell presses, L&R = 1).

Noon workout w/ Carl

For time:

30 presses
Hydrant run for every time you re-rack the barbell.

Broken into 13-6-6-5

9:04 (135#)

Maybe I should try 155/160 next time. A lot of people had 6-8 smaller sets.

Noon weightlifting w/ Carl

Push Press day.

115x5
135x5
155x3
185x3
205x1

Failed on the last rep. Carl said I just pressed too early before jumping the weight up and could've nailed it and probably more. Good day to work on technique when the bar is heavy.
