@208#'s Completed
B. Back Squats @20x1, 1 rep per min @70% RM (340) + Chains x 10mins

- Not pleased with the Kipping HSPU, I need to do AMRAP for this and strict HSPU weekly! It seems to be the only way I improve.

Mar. 27th

Week 23 / Day 6

Every minute on the minute for 14mins of:
Even- 10 CTB Chin-ups
Odds- 10 Ring Dips
Completed All Unbroken
+
Rest as Needed
+
AMRAP in 10mins of:
Row 2000m (Time: 7m13.0s     Avg / 500m= 1m48.2)
AMRAP OHS @65#'s in remaining time
Score: 58 reps

Notes:

- The CTB Chin-ups and Ring Dips is getting easier
- The 2nd Part reminded me of the Construction Series workout but with Double Unders. My mindset for this was to pick a pace that would not cook my legs. I wanted to be consistent on the OHS for the remaining time. I didn't let the bar touch the ground, I only dropped the bar to my back three times. I was diligent in making sure every rep was done with a superb standard (especially full extension at the top). I'm really pleased with this score.

Mar. 26th

Week 23 / Day 6

15mins @90%:
6 Power Cleans @115#'s
9 Burpee Box Jumps- 14"
12 Cals Airdyne
Score: 8 Rds + 6 + 9 + 2 cals
-15mins Rest
15mins @90%:
15 Wall Balls- 20#'s
15 KBS- 24kgs
50 Double Unders
Score: 6 Rds + 15 + 10 reps

Notes:

- Two different MAP Scenarios for me
- The First Scenario was leg dominant and my breathing was the limiter
- The Second Scenario was shoulder dominant for me and this was more muscular endurance. I broke the DU into 25's to keep my shoulders from getting to swollen, WB's and KBS were done UB.

A. Front Squats w/ Chains @20x1, 1 rep @70% RM (275) + Chains x 7 sets, rest 1m30s
@192.5#'s Completed

All UB
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

Mar. 22nd

Week 23 / Day 1

A. Squat Snatch Cluster, 1.1- build to a tough set
Got up to 220#'s
B. Power Clean and Split Jerk, build to a tough single
Got up to 265#'s
C. Back Squat @20x1, 2 reps @65% RM (340) + Chains x 8 sets, rest 1m30s
@221#'s Completed
D. Kipping HSPU to 10" Depth, 1 rep every 20sec for 20mins
17 reps without a fail       38 reps in Total

Notes:

- This was a pretty good day, my R patella is a little niggly from those BJ in 13.2, jumpers knee
- The Squat Snatch was good, I think thats my best 2 rep set ever.
- The Power Clean and Split Jerks felt really good, the best its been this season. I'm pretty sure this was a tie on my Clean and Jerk PR. I probably could've gotten more but I'll leave it for a RM day.
- Back Squats were good
- The Kipping HSPU to Depth were an improvement from last time. Here's a little statistic, last time I averaged a rep every 39.1sec... This time I averaged a rep every 31.5sec. Improvement is the key.

+
For Time:

Notes:

- The Chin-ups and Ring Dips felt great there getting better and my stamina is much better.
- For this chipper-esk complex, honestly I felt awesome. I was at that redline threshold throughout, my breathing was controlled for the most part. At the end I was able to dump the tank and finish hard.
- My Airdyne pace was 23mph+ for the first set and 22mph+ for the second set.

Mar. 18th- MAP Scenarios

Week 22 / Day 4

10mins @90%:
10 KBS- 88lbs
10 Wall Balls- 30#'s
10 Box Jumps- 30"- Step Downs
Score: 6 Rds + 1 rep
- 10mins rest
10mins @90%:
20 OHS @75#'s
20 Lateral Barbell Burpees
Score: 3 Rds + 20 + 8 reps

Notes:

- This was a hard day for scenarios.
- The first batch was heavy, I was able to move decently, breathing got heavy around the 5th set. KBS and WB's were UB and BJ were steady.
- The Second Batch was hard, I suck at both exercises. The Burpees were getting my breathing out of control. This should be a 5 Rds plus, wondering what this would look like as a first scenario for myself.
- The 2nd scenario should've been executed better.
