Week 23 / Day 4

A. Front Squats w/ Chains @20x1, 1 rep @70% RM (275) + Chains x 7 sets, rest 1m30s
@192.5#'s Completed
B. TnG Squat Cleans, 2 reps @225#'s per min for 10mins
Completed

C3. Kipping HSPU, 6-8 reps x 7 sets, rest 3mins
7 x 8 UB reps

Notes:

- The FS felt great, I felt solid and I was moving the weight well
- The TnG SC were good, it's amazing how this can jack my heart rate up. 3 TnG would be really tough for 10mins
- I wish my MU were as good as today, I need to focus on getting a better swing and kip with my legs more. On 13.3 I was using my Upper Body too much and wasn't using the optimal technique.
- The HSPU were good

Week 22 / Day 3

A. Front Squat w/ Chains @20x1, 1 rep @66% RM (275#'s) + Chains x 10 sets, rest 1min
@181.5#'s Completed
B. Above Knee Hang Squat Clean . Thrusters, 1.1 x 5 sets, rest 3mins- start @215#'s
215, 215, 220, 225(f)(thruster), 220
C1. Medium CG BP @20x1, 2 reps x 5 sets, rest 10sec- moderately tough
235, 235, 235, 240, 240
C2. Ring Muscle-ups, 4 Unbroken x 5 sets, rest 10sec
Completed All UB
C3. Kipping HSPU, 6-8 reps x 5 sets, rest 3mins
8 reps x 5 sets

Notes:

- Didn't have much drive in my legs today, my calves are still sore from 13.2
- The Hang Squat Cleans were feeling good overall
- The Thrusters didn't have the pop today, I must've had bad hand positioning on the 4th set because I got 220# on the 5th easily
- I'm really pleased with my Kipping HSPU, they were much improved from last weeks.
- I was able to get 4 UB MU's easily every time which I'm happy about.

Week 16 / Day 5

A. Squat Snatch, build to 90% RM (227#) for a single
Got up to 90% which is 205#'s
B. Front Squat w/ Chains @22x1, build to a 2RM
Got up to 215#'s
+
30 Squat Clean Thrusters @185#'s for time:
Time: 8m25s

Notes:

- Felt good working up to 90% on the Squat Snatch
- I feel pretty good about the FS w/ Chains, I have 50-60#'s of chains. For me to do 2 reps at that weight I'm pretty pleased about it.
- The SC Thrusters felt good, single reps and I tried to be steady throughout. The SC is the limiter for me. Somewhat of a comparison would be the 2011 CF Open WOD @165#'s, I did 23 reps in 5mins. I think this is a definite improvement.

Week 14 / Day 1

A. Squat Clean and Split Jerk, build to a 1RM
Got up to 255#'s
B. Front Squat w/ Chains @20x1, 2 moderate reps x 5 sets, rest 2mins- start @60% 1RM
165, 175, 185, 195, 205
+
5 sets of:
5 TnG Push Press @185#'s
10sec rest
15 CTB Chin-ups
*rest 3mins
Completed all the sets Unbroken

Notes:

- So there were positives and disappointments today
- I'm disappointed in my SC+SJ, I missed 275, 267.5 x 2 (one on the Clean and the other on the Jerk). Noting but zero excuses because I've done more weight but my anterior and lateral part of my legs still had DOMS from Day 7. I need to improve on this!!
- The positives!!
- The FS w/ Chains felt great my final set probably was b/t 250-265 in weight with the chains. I was moving the bar good too.
- another positive was the CTB Chin-ups, I haven't done much of these so far this year. I'm very pleased with it.
- Also I was able to move the PP @185 nicely, all TnG. As I went on the sets were smoother.

Dec. 31st

Week 13 / Day 1

A. Squat Clean and Split Jerk, build to a max
I got up to 265#'s, missed on 280# (the squat clean), missed on 275# (the Split Jerk)
B. Front Squat w/ Chains @22x1, 3 moderate reps x 5 sets, rest 2mins- start @50% 1RM (275#'s)
137.5, 147.5, 157.5, 167.5, 177.5
+
AMRAP in 15mins of:
5 KB Push Press @32kgs / arm
5 L Pull-ups
Score: 13 Rds + 4 reps

Notes:

- My Squat Clean wasn't feeling that strong today but my Split Jerk felt much better
- 265#'s is a my previous Clean and Jerk PR, I'm pleased I at least tied it but I should've made the 275#'s on the Split Jerk. I couldn't Squat up the 280#'s.
- FS w/ Chains felt good. Focused on speed and keeping my elbows up
- The KB Push Presses were done with only one KB, all the reps were Unbroken.
- The L Pull-ups slowed me down, midway through I was going back and forth between supinated and pronated.

Dec. 15th - Restart

Week 11 / Day 1- Restart

So I injured my neck on the 9th, I've been recovering / rehabilitating it over the last 6 days. Thank god for the Supple Leopard KStarr and his website mobilitywod.com.

A. Squat Clean . Split Jerk, 2.1 x 4 sets, rest 4-5mins- start @235#'s
235, 245, 247.5, 250
B. Front Squat w/ Chains @22x1, 3 reps @50% RM (275#)  + Chains x 5 sets, rest 2mins
@137.5# Completed
C. Standing Single Arm KB Press @21x1, AMRAP @32kgs x 4 sets, rest 1min b/t sets
(R/L) 6/2, 4/4, 4/3, 3/3
D. 1 Tough Wtd. Pronated Chin-up every 20sec for 15mins
26 reps @80#'s, 19 reps @70#'s

Notes:

- Did Part A correctly this time, the SC were not TnG. The Split Jerk felt better this time around. My FS is the definitely my limiting factor in this.
- KB Press was way better, much improved throughout, the 1st set w/ the L hand I think I had a bad position on the KB.

D. 1 Tough Wtd. Pronated Chin-up every 20sec for 15mins
80#'s for 23 reps, 70#'s for the remaining 22 reps

Notes:

- Messed up on the SC/SJ Cluster, honestly my SC weren't feeling that great. I'm pleased that I actually stuck with that weight. The SC were done with TnG. The SJ were going up easy but the tech wasn't that great.
- KB Press, great ROM every rep. Last time the ROM wasn't as deep. Still this was pretty tough. The first rep was always easy but I died right after.
- Done with COVP
