I was worried I’d wake up and barely be able to move today. My body was pretty trashed yesterday after the strongman circuit. Also surprised I didn’t get sore from the 140+ wall balls after 10 sets of 3 back squats. Something must be working. In at 10am today.
Warm-up
5:00-10:00 DU
Strength
Bench press today. Warmed up with 5 @ 135#, 3 @ 185#, and 2 @ 205#. Then did seven singles with 225#, resting about 60-90 seconds between each one. Right arm was still going out on some of them, but I got every rep in. Haven’t benched that much since I set my 235# PR back last year.
Olympic Lifting
Did the jerk footwork drill for a while and then went into some jerk balances with 95#. Did about 4 sets of 2 and then a set of 4 I think. Moved to C&J from there, doing 4 doubles with 135# and a double with 185#. Legs feeling fatigued from the last two days.
WOD
Wanted to try out the 2nd event for the competition this Sunday to get a feel for the pace of it.
3 Rounds
- 10 Plate Burpees
- 8 Pull-ups
- 6 Clusters (95#)
I kept a steady pace through each round, right at about 1:30 per round. Finished in 4:29. Could probably go a little faster in competition, but felt like solid work. Everything was unbroken, but I did drop the bar after 3 clusters in the last round; didn’t stop though.
Kind of a lighter and less intense day, but it was needed. Took my time and was there almost 2 hours.
