AMRAP in 20 minutes:

15 squats

14 + 13 squats RX (PR)

This is a slight PR, and only 2 reps shy of the 15 rounds that has, apparently, eluded me for years (I thought I had a 15-round Cindy, but if I do I never wrote it down).

Knee still hurt for the first half, then warmed up and stopped bothering me. But my back has been hurting all day since the workout, which is troubling.

Fight Gone Bad!

Been a long time since we've done this one.

287RX (pr!)

For some reason, I thought my PR on this was 286, but I can't find any record of that, which means this is a 12-point PR. Hey, that's better than the 1 point I thought it was.

I'm not going to break 300 until I get stronger overhead and can get my push-presses up more in line with the other movements - and I should be able to do better on the box jump, too.

Hot fun in the summertime

It's summer at long last - months after it started for the rest of the country. Today got into the 90's, and for whatever reason, I was craving a scorcher workout in the sun - like we did last summer in games training. So I took off work a little earlier and headed to GWPC to catch up with this metcon in the blazing sun:

Run 400 Meters
21 Press 95/65
Run 400 Meters
21 Push-Press 95/65
Run 400 Meters
21 Push-Jerk 95/65

14:40 RX

It was HOT, but it felt good. The first round along took nearly 8 minutes, and was a basic strength workout - 95 pounds is a lot for me to press. The next two rounds got more metconny, and my throat and lungs were burning by the end. Max put a 15 minute limit on this one when CFEB did it a few days ago, and it was nice to know that I got in under the wire.

Fail

I totally blew this workout - chose a weight that was too high, and failed to notice that it specified squat cleans - so I did power cleans. My back hurt in a bad way afterwards - I was just stubborn and irresponsible.

A: Work up to a 1RM in the Snatch Grip Deadlift.

B: Perform as many reps as possible of Snatch Grip Deadlift @ 80% of 1RM

C: 30 Deadlift 135/95
15 Squat Clean 135/95
20 Deadlift 135/95
10 Squat Clean 135/95
10 Deadlift 135/95
5 Squat Clean 135/95

A: 255
B: 4 @ 200
C: 21-something (DNF) @ 125

The cleans were TERRIBLE. Just had a really hard time getting under the bar. Whatever technique gains I've made in this lift appear to have evaporated - really need to practice more popping and dropping.

Snatch practice

2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 of the complex: 1 Squat Snatch, 1 Overhead Squat @ 50% of 1RM

Did all twelve sets at 65#. Took forever.

Ripped ab

I seem to have an injury in my abdominal muscles. I Couldn't do the WOD I had planned, so instead did:

10 rounds for time:
10 double-unders
10 KB swings (2 pd)
10 pistols (medium band assisted)

21:21

A bit nervous due to the injury, so I only went about 80% intensity on this. I liked incorporating the pistols into the workout- should do that more often, hopefully get to a reliable pistol sooner.

Off the menu for now: pullups, box jumps, sit-ups...

Bodyweight chipper from hell

In any order, partitioned any way:

Run 5x800 meters

45 Handstand Push-Ups
45 C2B Pull-Ups
45 Ring Dips
45 Pistols
45 Toes-To-Bar
45 Burpees

Post time and partitioning scheme to comments.

DNF in 36 minutes

I appear to have messed up one of my abdominals in this workout. I thought it was due to the GHDs I did a week earlier, but now that I've been living with it a few days, my abs never hurt like this after that workout. They were REALLY sore all through camping, granted, and maybe I weakened them in that workout and then actually ripped something with the T2B. My first round went fine, and then something...tore, I guess. It got rapidly worse, and ultimately I just started cutting out the things that hurt. So I did all of the running, burpees, and pistols, and about half of everything else. Some of the HSPUs were kipping from the floor, but I don't like how that makes my neck feel, so I would switch to high-piking off a box. The pistols were band-assisted.
