Day: October 9, 2012

Clean High Pulls

Hips are tight today from all of the box jump stuff we did yesterday. I can feel my posterior chain as well. Went in for the 5:30pm class again.

Warm-up

5 Rounds

  • 7 Burpees
  • 150m Run

Just nice and easy. Nothing intense. Took less than 6 minutes.

Strength

5×5 Clean High Pulls

Today was the first time I’ve done these and I felt really weak compared to how great I felt last week doing 5×5 power cleans. I guess my legs did get blasted pretty good the last two days.

  • 5 @ 45#
  • 5 @ 135#
  • 5 @ 145#
  • 5 @ 155#
  • 5 @ 165#
  • 5 @ 185#

WOD

12:00 AMRAP

  • 5 C2B Pull-ups
  • 7 HR Push-ups
  • 9 AbMat Sit-ups

I felt good here, which always seems odd to me to feel so bad in one aspect of a class and so good in another. I broke nearly every set of pull-ups up into 3 and 2. Completed 12 full rounds plus 5 more C2B pull-ups. That’s the best I’ve ever done with C2B as far as number of reps. I had the top score of the day so far.

Finisher

10 Rounds

  • 25y High Prowler Sprint (90#)
  • 25y Low Prowler Sprint (90#)

We formed lines so there was at least a bit of rest time between each turn you took. At the end the other prowler line was done so I started jumping on that one with short rest periods to finish off my rounds.
