Tomorrow, waiting to see if im hitting up a beach workout or not. If so I will do the beach workout and hike, head to the gym right afterwards to do shoulders
300x jump rope
10 min run
Shoulders
DB OH press
DB Side raise
DB rear delt raise
Snatch grip pulls, idk what the exactly call them, get into a hang snatch position then you just go as far as the hip drive and the shrug
12.3
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 18 minutes of:
15 Box jumps, 24" box ( wall balls)
115 pound Push press, 12 reps
9 Toes-to-bar (KB swing)
Lets see, I will switch box jumps with wall balls since box jumps are dumb and KB swings for toes to bar
Also, I have the same WOD coming up again for 12.5 I believe it is thats the same as i dont remember haha but its the
3/3, 6/6, 9/9.....thrusters and pull ups, I will use the same weight and I am aiming for 126 reps

Yeah I will get mine soonish maybe ill do some push ups n see how sore I am, if im too sore ill get some bengay and n let it relax a bit n head to the track.
Also Flander, for your snatches, do you use any kind of elbow sleeves or anything? I've always been paranoid after watching the O-lifters snapping their elbows on snatches, granted they use a lot of weight but its still one of those paranoias lol
Just did my challenge WOD
5 rounds of 100m run and 30 hand release push ups.
The first round wasnt too bad, immediately broke it up into sets of 10
Second round, sets of 10
third round, sets of 5
4th round, sets of 5 and ended with quick sets of 2
5th round, quick sets of 2-4, I was fairly burnt out by the third round
with a time of! LBSS has it lol

Also I will review the Kooler since I got to use it for the first time today
Well lets see, its nice but not exactly what I expected.
I was assuming you can fill the 2 shaker bottles in it but how you put it in, one shaker cup goes into another so you cant fill them both up all of the way. But you can fill the cooler part with ice and water but I like milk so if i do ice and milk then i would have to bring a towel with me to wipe off the outside of the shaker bottle. If they could make it so the bottles are side by side and not stacked inside of each other so you can fill 2 at once itd be great. Thats my only complaint though but I still liked it since warm protein shakes are gross and the water at my gym tastes like salty fish ass.

Lets see, it was my olympic day
Worked on OH squats first, trying to get my grip closer and closer, I think if I can eventually get to where froning has his grip itd be more beneficial for me since Im not in a CF gym or a gym that has bumper plates.
I worked up to 145 with ring finger on the outside rings, I believe i did like 3-5 reps or something, just letting it back down onto my trapz is a pain in the ass.
I think my progression was bar, 65, 95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145
Hang Cleans, worked on catching it in the hole in the beginning but I need to stretch my forearms and what not out more before i go up in weight but I think i did it up to like idk 95lbs
Hang power cleans: worked up to 195 for a 90% or so which idt is too bad of a start considering last time I believe I started a lot lower. I did a lot of sets up to 195 but Im not sure what the weights were, I just threw random plates on.
Snatch, just focused on form for this since my WOD contained only snatches
worked up to 95lbs, felt better than last time and lighter.
12.2- 10 minute AMRAP
the weights are normally a lot higher than I used for the WOD but fuck that noise, im not there yet lmao
I did
Barx30
55x30
65x30
75x17
my shoulders and trapz were on fire
I tried mine and flanders WOD right after and I got to my 40th push up like him and my chest locked up but i tried to soldier on and then 2 girls came out onto the track and some old lady just walking n taking the whole thing up so now i have to redo it later today.
I believe by the time i got to my 40th push up i was 3 minutes in or something so im guessing fairly slow lol

Lol it's happened a few times, especially when I do speed work
Today
Warm up- jump ropex200
some stretching
10 minute run
deadlifts from pins halfway between mid shin and foot so not much higher than a normal deadlift
worked up to 345 double overhand, trying to stay away from a over under grip which I can lift a lot more but I need to work on grip
Inverted rows- 4x10
Lat pulldown, 4 sets of single handles and a vbar thing with sets of biceps between with DBs
12.1: AMRAP Burpees in 7 Minutes
60 reps got up and stopped the clock at 1 second left. So I'm not sure if thats good or not, probably not but i bested my time by probably a minute or so last time i did the 60 burpees
Im whooped, gonna hit up chilis(the light part of the menu)

Lol I'll see you at the Games!
I will do mine on wednesday, its storming here today and tomorrow.
I am enjoying the gym again though since starting CF again and starting this competition. Before I was just doing BB stuff after i left the academy I was in the gym for like 35 minutes or so and i just tried to do my workouts as fast as possible so I could get outta there. Today I was there for about 2 hours and loved it.
Also, some old guy asked if I needed a spot on the bench when I was still warming up with 135

I am tracking my calories today and I am tracking how many miles I walk at work to see just how bad I am doing outside of the gym. As of right now I have taken in 805 calories and walked two miles which if my app was correct is about 250 calories and if my bmr was somewhat accurate in college i might burn 2500 a day or so. I am going to aim for 3k calories a day n adjust from there.

just been doing little tabatas here n there, nothing special, pretty lazy week lol
Next week going to ramp it up though since the gym will be back open and tuesday morning or wednesday, depending on the weather will be a beach morning. Thinking of 5 rounds of 1 run the length of the beach, 20 air skwaats, 10 burpees. After that a hike to fill out the rest of the hour or so and then head to the gym for the regular workout.

Did a 20 min AMRAP today
5 tire flips, 5 keg cleans and a idk 150ft walk with a 45lb plate overhead
later some Tabata
Next week I think i might do the open workouts and a 20 minute AMRAP with light enough weight and movements n what not that will make me sweat but I can keep moving without having to stop and huff n puff n stare at the barbell.
something like
10 push ups
5 OH Skwaat
5 burpees
10 wallballs
20 min jog
20 min amrap
movement work(chest/tris) I really cant isolate muscles for shit so thats why i just stick with bench, 1 db movement and tricep movement
open workout
I am also going to buy stan efferdings Kooler, that way I can bring an intra and post workout shake with me, i remember last time at the gym i felt exhausted halfway through. Also I have to have milk in my preworkouts and doing a milk pre-workout shake and leaving it in the gym for an hour or so will be pretty gross by the end.

This morning was just horrible. The track I ran on is an old crappy one at a park near my house, uneven as shit. Anyway it felt horrible to run on so i did the first mile while doing 20 push ups and 20 air squats, the second mile i walked one, ran one etc etc. My lower back and legs were tight as shit.
I might just do tabata later because its supposed to storm n shit in a bit and all week its going to be like this I suppose so i will have to figure something out, maybe just go to a gym for a day and go balls deep in everything.

Skwaats, skipped the run again because i hate running on treadmills and had to do a fast workout.
Skwaats: sets were 45, 95, 135,165, 185, 205, 225, 255, 275, 305, 315, 325, 335.....did i do 345? I cant remember but instead of low bar wide im trying to keep my stand shoulder width or so and idk medium bar? its not really high but its above my rear delts.
- No groin pain so thats still good
lots of hammy work on the machine.
gym closes tomorrow so monday i begin the bw and running stuff and this weekend i will plan everything out.
