Date with Diane

My low back is still tight from Thursday and Friday. Spending a lot of time hunched over at my hobby desk this weekend doesn’t help.

Warmed up my deadlift with 10×45, 5×85, 5×135, and 5×185.

Conditioning

“Diane” – 21-15-9

  • Deadlift (225#)
  • HSPU

The only time I’ve done it Rx was during the Open last year with the dumb HSPU standard and it took me 5:44. Hoped to set a bit PR over that time today. Went 12-9 on both movements, 9-6 on both, 9 deadlifts, and then 5-2-2. Finished in 5:30. My handstand push-ups got way too slow towards the end of 21. I wonder if doing quicker sets of 5-6 throughout would be smarter.

Strength

Warmed up with 6×35, 6×65, 3×115, and 3×135.

12:00 EMOM

  • 3 Thrusters (155#)

Belted up for these. Was thinking about doing 20 minutes originally, but I got to the gym late and Diane smoked me. Glad we cut it back!

Midline

  • 50 Turkish Get-ups (35#)

Oh boy! Started off 5/5 real quick and then had to slow down a lot. Did 6 sets of 3/3 and finished with 5/5 in 8:53.
