"We don't have the agility of gymnasts, the power of a weightlifter, or the endurance of a marathoner but we have more agility, power, and endurance than any gymnast, weightlifter or marathoner. We do your stuff almost as good as you, you can’t do our stuff at all and we do stuff neither of us does way better than you can." -Greg Glassman, aka "Coach"

+3 rounds for time all out:
35 double unders
25 push ups
15 CTB chin ups
6:55

It has been a while since I have done split jerk... I think I finished about 20-30lbs lower than my last 1RM... I need to work that in more often-just felt unfamiliar and couldnt force myself under the bar. Met-con was a good burner... DUers went pretty well the first 2 rds then very broken on the last set... effected the pull-ups, better rythm on DUers = broken pull-ups... broken DUers = unbroken pull-ups

My back was tight as a knot after the 1st round! Heavy DL, front squats and the running in the last 3 days I think have taken their toll. The pistols and KBs were a killer on my lower back... actually did well on the DUers for a change. Hopefully a rest day tomorrow and some stretching will be just what I need

CP-Strength Endurance‬‬

alternating on the minute for 20 mins:

10 unbroken CTB chin ups
As Rx'ed
8 unbroken OHS - you choose
95#... 105# on last 2 sets

(choose OHS squat load such that 8 per set for 10 sets will be significantly tougher on last 5 sets - challenge the brain)

OHS squat felt like more of a shoulder workout than a leg workout, but I got down below parallel each rep and kept the weight back and centered... they are Getting better form wise I guess the weight will come along too... I might try to hit some back squats before practice to get some leg work in

Back Squats x 5... 135-205-255-295-325-350-375-390

I wasnt really feeling it today... legs and back were sore and my mind wasnt right. Burpees were slow and steady K2E were 5 at a time on the 50 then started with 10 and did 5's on the rest... still got a good workout, but should have pushed it harder

CP-Strength Endurance (am)

As many rounds in 15 minutes:

5 weighted chin ups - 45#
7 OHS - 135#

9 or 10rds + 5 chin-ups ... I used the rocks to count and think I missed one round, but not 100% sure... did the last 7 OHS after time

Pull-ups were kipping but all unbroken,,,, OHS really slowed me down and I didnt get all the way in the hole each time. I probably should have scaled back to 115 or so... I am going to try to BS 225 7x10 today before practice or after mommarators to make up for it.

Did 225 BS every 90 seconds for 10 sets after Mommarators... good and low, felt good
