OPT #36

Training: Friday 10-8

A. Front Squat @ 30X2; 3,2,1; rest 5 min
135-205-265
285-305-325

B. CTB Chin Ups - 15 fast x 3; rest 2 min
Felt pretty easy

C. Row Sprints; 15 sec @ 110% effort; rest 2:45 x 3‬‪ ‬‪‪
Sub 25 reps of 45# BB thrusters x 3

Probably should have started a little higher on the front squats... 325 was just about right though for 1. I remember when 15 C2B PU were hard to finish, much easier now and we havent been doing many... still getting plenty of pulls I guess. Glad we did the BB thrustrers to sub for the rows, it was probably longer than 15 seconds but it seemed like a good sub

I anm glad we did power snatch and power clean, my legs are still a little tight from Chief the other day. I hadnt done power snatch in a while so I didnt really know what o base the 80% off of, but I wouldnt have wanted to go any heavier for 2's. Power clean and jerk fwlt good, did 205 on clean and jerk last time, ___ on power clean, and ____ on jerk. Med ball was different, but I liked it.

4:24 PR (7:39 in Dec)

Been hankering for some heavy DL for weeks.... got my fix. All of the Oly lifts with OPT has directly transfered... I have not done heavy DL since the middle of August and I did 480x1... now I did 475x3 wich would put me right around 500 1rm and I am also PRing on the metcons that we have added in or subbed... seems like it is working to me :-)

"Lizzy"
12-9-6
185# power clean
Ring dips
2:49 PR 3:40 on 8-7

3 pc +3 rd
Ring dips x 30


Clean and jerk felt good, based 1st rd on 205 1rm and 215 on the 2nd. Need to use straps on the pulls... bought my own this weekend :-) Snatch balance was wobbly until the 3rd and 4th set then found the groove. 185 PC felt light for the first time.

post loads and notes to comments

Snatch was based off of 170 1RM, I didnt see that I did it 2x and rounded up and burned too much time to do a short met-con after. Upper body is still tight from heavy bench the other day... still not catching very deep but doing OHS to get in the hole. Snatch pulls were explosive and 10# above last week. Squats felt pretty good, weight is a bit low compared to old CFT's... might be in the 415-425 range... but I am much lower and lighter

OPT #29

Training Tuesday 9-21:

In 12 minutes find your Snatch 1RM
105-115-125-135-145-155-165-175(F)

rest 3 minutes
As many rounds in 10 minutes:
6 squat clean - 55kg/30kg
12 chin ups... subbed 55# KB Swings x 12
24 double unders
4 + 1 rep. Finished rd 5 after time

Thought I would work upto the 175-185 range but the time factor took its toll.. I needed more recovery for the last 2 sets and didnt have the time. Subbed KB as my lat is still tight and didnt want any further setback from being stubburn. Dropped bar after each SC, should have held the bar for first set or 2- but my grip was not a factor so who knows if it cost any time. DUers were good- for me anyway- I got one set unbroken and could string 10+ together most of the time... major improvement!
