I'm searching for my first hole-in-one. I enjoy being active and making things. I work for Automattic.

I was going to do 4k for time, but my legs were toast from spending a lot of time working on a project in the basement, standing on the concrete.

5×3 More

Later start at 11 this morning so I could work on a project in the basement.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 BikeErg (1,532m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks

    • 3×175

Weightlifting

E40S – 10:00

  • 3 Power Cleans (10 @ 185, 5 @ 195)

Thrilled with that since about a month ago I did an EMOM of 3, using 185 for five rounds and 195 for five rounds. So this was an extra 5x3x185 in the same amount of time!

Conditioning

Partner WOD

  • 4 Rounds (each)
    • 15/10 cal SkiErg
    • 16 Single DB Box Step Overs (24/20″, 50/35#)
  • 4 Rounds (each)
    • 200/150m TrueForm Run
    • 24 Russian KBS (53/35#)

With Brandi, doing a round of the couplet while the other person rested. She went first and it took us 13:42 for the first couplet and a total of 25:38 or 11:56 for the second couplet. The first one was much worse, with the step overs really adding up.

Accessory Wipeout

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (656m)

  • 15/10 cal Row / 35s Glute Bridge Hold
  • 30 Plyo Lunges / 40s Plank

Brandi went first, so I was in the hold first. Took us 27:13.

Accessory

4 Sets

  • 120/120′ Suitcase Carry (70# KB)
  • 8 Evil Wheels
  • 12 Double DB Skull Crushers (30# DBs)

I had energy until this accessory work, which kind of wiped me out!

259 Dubs

  • 2:00 TrueForm Run (0.34 km)
  • 20 PVC Passes
  • 10 Double Unders
  • 10 Deadlifts (45#)

14:00 AMRAP

  • 10 Deadlifts (135/95#)
  • 10 Double DB Hang Cleans (50/35#)
  • 10 alt Renegade Rows (50/35#)

I did two rounds of deadlifts unbroken and then went 5-5. Everything else was unbroken. Really grippy. Finished with 8+17. Not my jam with all weighted movements.

  • 12 Half Circle Knee Raises
  • 12 alt Single Leg Lifts (L-sit on parallettes)

Such a nasty superset.

4 Sets

  • 4 Dead Stop Front Squats (145-155-165-175#)
  • 16 Banded Hamstring Curls (blue)

I think the dead stop front squats are being retired. We aren’t fans.

Conditioning

  • 3 Strict Pull-ups

I did 9 rounds exactly.

  • 3:00 BikeErg (1,556m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks

Conditioning

5 Rounds – Partner WOD (I go, you go)

  • 18/12 cal BikeErg (standing)
  • 15 Box Jumps (24/20″)
  • 200/150m TrueForm Run
  • 10 Strict Chin-ups

This ended up being harder than expected. I was happy with my high pace throughout. I did every round of chin-ups 6-4. Brandi and I finished in 29:29.

Taters

Much needed rest day yesterday. Out in the garage at 4pm today.

Warm-up

  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks
  • 10 Air Squats
  • 5 Taters (45#)
  • 10 alt Curtsy Lunges (35# KB)

Conditioning

6 Rounds

  • 24 Taters (35#)
  • 10/10 alt Curtsy Lunges (switch arms after 10, 35#)
  • 36 Incline Bar Push-ups

Got this one from Ibex, except I scaled 24 push-ups to these since my shoulder isn’t happy with regular push-ups yet. They didn’t say how heavy, but I made the right kettlebell choice. I never set the KB down, by my hips were already in fire by the end of round one. I split the push-ups 20-16 for five rounds and then finished unbroken at 19:15.

Midline

E2M – 5 Sets

  • 16 alt V-ups
  • 16 Plank Jumps
  • 40 Hollow Flutter Kicks

Took about 50-55 seconds and there was some real burn!

Finished with Crossover Symmetry Recovery.

By the end of the day my back was pretty tight. May retire the taters after our first time with them.

Trump is Gone

Buh Bye Fucker!

My calves are definitely feeling the Tabata double unders. Out in the garage at 4pm.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 TrueForm Run (0.49 km)

Arms

3 Sets

  • 12 Barbell Curls (55-60-65#)
  • 12 Tricep Pull Downs (underhand, bar, 60-65-65#)

3 Sets

  • 12 Hammer Curls (30# DBs)
  • 12 DB French Press (50-60-60#)

Conditioning

2 Cycles

  • 6:00 AMRAP
    • 10 Power Cleans (115/80#)
    • 10 Burpees
    • 10 Ring Rows
  • 3:00 Rest
  • 6:00 AMRAP
    • 10 DB Goblet Squats (50/35#)
    • 10 PVC Renegade Rows (50/35#)
    • 10 DB Sit-ups (50/35# at chest)
  • 3:00 Rest

I did 3+6 and 3+4 on the first AMRAP. In the first cycle I did 2 rounds of 5-5 cleans, then 4-3-3, and 2-1-1-1-1. In the second cycle I did all three full rounds 5-5 and the final 4 unbroken as well. I think I went all unbroken ring rows in cycle 1 and 10, 6-4, 6-4 in cycle 2. I did 4+7 and 4+20 in the second AMRAP, which was one where I could just keep going. I improved my transitions and squat speed in the second one.
