Nov. 30th

Week 10 / Day 2

3 Rds for time of:
100 Unbroken Double Unders
Time: 6m32s
+
10 x Row45sec @75--->90% effort / 45sec rest on Rower- damper 5, increase pace over the 45sec
Completed, the pace was between 1m50 avg/500m>   <1m30 avg/500m

Notes:

- Only took 3 sets to do the DU's, I'm pretty stoked about this, I've never done 100 UB. I was questioning if this was even possible for myself.
- Row was good.

Nov. 29th

Week 10 / Day 1

A. Squat Clean, build to a 1RM
Got up to 275#'s, failed on 290 x 2, 287, 286
B. Snatch Balance . OHS, 1.1 x 3 sets, rest 3mins- all tough sets
205, 215, 215
+
For time:
30 Muscle-ups
Time: 4m41s

Notes:

- This wasn't my day, on the positive note all my cleans were successful but I just didn't have the strength to get it out of the bottom. The cleans were powerful and smooth.
- the limiter was my Snatch Balance
- I've done this before within the last year or 2 but I couldn't find my previous result(s) in my logbooks. I know for a fact this was a PR time, I was able to did this in 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, then all singles the rest of the way through.

Note:

- Felt great on the Hang Squat Cleans, tried to go for 295# but missed twice. Dropped it down to 280#'s and hit it.
- The OHS session felt the best this season so far. Maybe the 5 second tempo at the bottom helped build some mobility / stability in the bottom position.
- 2nd time doing this test in the last two weeks. Previous time was 17m14s, I fucken smashed that!! Biggest improvement was my Strict HSPU.

Notes:
- no idea if that a PR for the Hang Squat Clean but that was my max today.
- I'm pretty pleased with the Snatch complex, I still need more work. The last set felt the best.
- Super surprised with my score on the AMRAP, it doesn't look special but HSPU are a weakness and doing them strict at depth makes them even more challenging for me. I went into this thinking I was going to do barely any and banged out 18 reps. All the HSPU were done in singles.

- The snatch complex felt good, better as I went on.
- SC Thruster felt good
- PJ were all UB, MU's not quite. Felt good on this but it could be slicker.

+
For time of:
30 Strict HSPU
30 Strict Pronated Grip Chin-ups
30 Kipping HSPU
30 Strict Supinated Grip Chin-ups
Time: 17m14s

Notes:

- Felt great on the Squat Cleans, the clean was easy but the front squat was tough.
- OHS, the 4th set felt the best. Flexibility and stability still needs some work. I didn't want to push it, the 3rd set wasn't the best 3 reps.
- Obviously the first batch of HSPU was the toughest, it took me around 7mins to get them. My shoulders weren't the freshest right from the get go. This was a good one though. I would love to redo this 3-4 months down the road and compare.

D. Airdyne, 15sec ALL OUT EFFORT x 8 sets, rest 2mins b/t sets

Notes:

- The Back Squats felt strong
- Felt alright on the Snatch, I need to really work on the mobility and keeping the bar close to the body on the pull. 205#'s was definitely my limit today
- C+J felt good
- The Airdyne Sprints were brutal. They were really hard!
