Friday

Had a go at 16.3

AMRAP 7
10 snatches @ 34kg
3 Bar Muscle Ups

Did 6 full rounds and 10 snatches: 88 reps.

Not bad but another one that's not a strength!! This gets rid of my 3 main weaknesses though: CTB, TTB and muscle ups.

Next two weeks should be better...

then did front squat paused + normal
up to 120 1+1
130 1+1

home.

Had a crack at Karen, got the pacing wrong and did just over 6 mins.

Was gunning for 5 but it became apparent that that is really very fast!

Had Thursday off

took 1s off the split every 500
Finished with average of 1:53.9 r18
got tough in the second half!

The next open wod is:

AMRAP 13
55 Deadlifts @ 102
55 Wall balls
55 Calorie Row

So, did 208 reps on 16.4 and came 202nd in UK. By far my best placing.

Puts me 393rd overall going into 16.5 which is:

21 thrusters (43kg)
21 bar facing burpees
18 thrusters
18 bfb
15
15
12
12
9
9

For time.

I've done this workout several times with a best score of 12:38 but only ever before 7AM by myself.

Hoping to push for sub 11:30 with a decent day and some support!

Last week's training has been ok.

Hit a nice 3 second paused 100kg snatch and a 91kg double

Back Squat 157.5kg x 5 which is as much as I've done in forever

Front squat 150 x 1 same.

Going to have a go at this one tomorrow and Monday by the looks of it with some heavy lifting on Sunday morning.

Then off to Amsterdam with the GF for a bit of R&R

Never really finished my write up of the open. Finished 350th in the UK! Standard is immense but still I need to improve a lot.

Took a week off afterwards and have trained this last week (except for randomly getting ill for two days).

This included:
a quick run
some barbell complexes
some bar muscle ups
Back squat 140 5x5
Some rowing and gymnasics yesterday

Then today did.

Muscle ups (ring) EMOM: 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3 ish. Not the best but first time I've done these in a while. Aim for the end of the cycle is 8 unbroken.

Snatch (in less than 15 mins)
up to 94kg lovely
100 F
100 Decent
104 F something to build on.

CJ
up to 110
121 decent
130 Failed jerk, strong clean

Dips
+15kg 5,5,5,5,5

Pull Ups
+15kg 5,5,5,5,5

Alt EMOM 18 Double unders and toes to bar
Dubs went 30,30,30,40,40,40,50,50,50
T2B went 10,10,10,11,11,11,12,12,12

Good hard work this session was.

Intention is to put a chunk of work into my longer fitness and to be able to run without it snapping me up!

Major Gymnastics weaknesses include:
Muscle ups (of all types)
Chest to bar
Toes to bar
Strict HSPU
Pistols.

Main 3 things to push are:
Gymnastics: Improve efficiency on all the above
Cardio stuff: Ability to maintain pace over longer pieces, supplement with extra running.
WL: Build my back squat up to PB territory

This morning, still full of the illz so took it easy breathing wise...

Strict HSPU
2,5,5,5,5,5

Lots of pistol practice. These suck. Ended in 3x5 with 10kg plate single leg squat off a 20" box. Particularly tough first thing in the morning I think.

Then 3x45" on 45" off weighted plank (press up position) + 10kg

Well done on the Open. The standard is high, and getting higher.

What do you feel is holding you back on the pistols? As a decent weightlifter I would have thought you had all the leg strength and flexibility needed.

Cheers mate, hopefully I can improve faster than the pace does but only time will tell!

I have a flat foot and, as a result, a very dysfunctional right hip. I really struggle to balance on that foot alone and it just takes a lot of concentration at the moment!

I'll do something every week it will improve! Or I'll avoid it forever and always have the same problem....

Last night:

Bar muscle ups:
couple of warm ups then:
EMOM 10
2 every minute

When I'm fresh these pop really high now and I barely need to bend my arms. When I'm tired, however, I chicken wing the hell out of it!
In part, I think this is because I have a very wide grip meaning that I can still get over by chicken winging even when I don't pull very high.
Going to give a closer grip a shot so that I have to kip high to make sure I finish them.

Back Squat
up to 125 3
145 5,5,5,5 decent, legs were tired from morning wall balls.

Plank on rings
45 on, 45 off
45 on, 45 off
30 on, 30 off
30 on

found these very hard, something to work on!
