Partner It Up Times 3

Feeling a little sore from yesterday, mostly in my upper chest and shoulder area. Abs are pretty sore from the 150 sit-ups too. Went it at 11am today.

Warm-up

2 Rounds

  • 25 Air Squats
  • 25 HR Push-ups
  • 25 Russian KBS (49# KB)
  • 25 Lunges
  • 25 Star Jumps
  • 25 Zombie Kicks
  • 25 Jumping Jacks
  • 25 High Knees
  • 25 Butt Kicks
  • 25 Mountain Climbers

Nothing like 500 reps to get you warmed up! Finished in under 13:00

WOD

It was a 3 part partner WOD, with each part having a 6:00 time cap. Each partner does the pacing element once and then you switch. Rest the remainder of the six minutes. I worked with Kevin.

  • Pace: 500m Row
  • MAX Wall Balls (20# MB, 10′ target

Stupid screen on the rower turned off right before we started, so I did a bunch of extra distance. We got 105 reps, with Kevin getting 54 and me 51. I did mine in sets of 25 and 26. Kevin whooped my ass on the rower as usual. I think I kept around a 2:00/500m pace.

  • Pace: 600m Run
  • MAX Clean & Jerks (115#)

I got 28 in around 2:50 and then Kevin got 18 more for a total of 46.

  • Pace: 0.75 mile Air Dyne
  • MAX Sit-ups

I started us off with 68 sit-ups for a total of 130. Not sure I needed a bunch more sit-ups after 150 yesterday and already having a sore core.

Good workout!

A Do Work Saturday

We partied at the box last night for Casey, who is going away to be a Navy diver in just over a week. Went in to the 10am this morning.

Warm-up

“Annie”
50-40-30-20-10

  • Sit-ups
  • DU

First time in a year I didn’t bring my bag to the gym, so didn’t have my good rope and had to use one that was hanging on the wall, with about a foot of extra cable hanging off the one end. There was a screw-up with the clock anyway, so wouldn’t have been able to set a PR. These movements are actually in the wrong order as well.

Strength

12:00 EMOM

  • Odds: 8 Ring Rows
  • Evens: 8 Ring Dips

I’ve always been pretty terrible at ring rows, but I was able to get 8 for all 6 sets. Did all of my ring dips strict too.

WOD

4 Rounds

  • 20 Sandbag Clean and Toss over Shoulder
  • 10/10 Sledgehammers
  • 150m OH Run (45# bumper)

Finished in 13:44. Had to stop about 2/3 of the way through each run because my shoulders were on fire. Other than that, didn’t stop on anything.

Finisher

Tire flips

Back at 3pm for some lifting.

Cleans

Clean + Hang Clean + High Hang Clean, with about 2:00 rest between sets. I used 115#, 125#, 135#, 145#, 155#, 165#, 175#, and 185#. Last set was a new high for this complex. (I’ve actually done this up to 195#, but that started at 135#. Only have done 175# with power cleans) Still not using wrist wraps or lifting shoes, and it’s actually feeling pretty good.

5:00 EMOM

  • 2 Cleans (205#)

Rest 5 minutes.

5:00 EMOM

  • 1 Clean (225#)

Rest 3 minutes

3:00 EMOM

  • 1 Clean (235#)

Up until a week ago, my max clean was 230#, so it felt really good to get those rep at 235# after already having done so much cleaning.

Without thinking about how many front squats I had already done, I was going to do a 5×3 of back squats with 275#, but I got 2 reps in and had nothing in my legs, so I called it quits before I hurt myself.

Shoulder Press

  • 5 @ 135#
  • 5 @ 135#
  • 5 @ 135#
  • 5/5 @ 45# DB
  • 5/5 @ 45# DB

The issue I’m having with a weak right arm on bench press is following me along to overhead. I switched up to DBs after the 3rd set to try to make sure each arm got work. It was a struggle to get 5 reps on the right side with the 45, but not much of an issue on the left. Weird.
