Dang yo, work definitely comes in waves. I have been up to my patchy facial haired lip in stuff to do at my place of employment. I have made some headway and have some time to write an entry.
Sunday:
As we all know today is football day. Quite possibly my favorite day of the week. What could be better then lifting in the a.m. followed by nothing but football and sitting, with eating throughout, until I lay down in my bed for slumber? I know! Lifting with Big Lou and CMo in the a.m followed by sitting for the 1:00pm football games followed by sleeping until the 8:00pm game, with eating throughout. Great day
WOD:
Snatch
1x1 40kg
1x2 60kg
1x1 70kg
1x1 75kg (PR)
Met Con:
"Maiko's Murder"
500m row
60 double unders
10 muscle ups
5:34 (PR by 3:26)
I was very pleased with my snatch. I think I will be attempting 75kg at the competition this weekend. It felt reletively smooth and I think, nay, I know I can do it. The Met-con was good but I effed up on the double unders, got broke like 5 times. Given, it was much better then last time but I should be able to do 60 unbroken. We also got new rings at Balance that have this stupid rubber grip that I really don't like. Its the anti-chalk!
Monday:
Rest Day
I am resting Monday, Friday and Saturday before the competition on Sunday.
Tuesday:
WOD:
Clean and Jerk
1x1 70kg
1x1 80kg
1x1 90kg
1x1 100kg
1x1 102.5kg (fail, bad pull)
1x1 102.5kg
I think I am comfortable enough that I could get 102.5kg at the competition. Maiko critiqued my pull and my jerk and it really helped. It felt better then ever on the rep that I completed. So, in my perfect world My snatch at the competition would be as follows:
attempt 1: 65kg
attempt 2: 70kg
attempt 3: 75kg
C&J
attempt 1: 90kg
attempt 2: 100kg
attempt 3: 102.5kg
I spent the rest of my time at Balance on Tuesday watching Maikos snatch and talking about her butt.
Gotta give props to Sara too! How about "Maiko and Sara's Sinister, but Short-lived, Suckfest" or something like that? =P I need to see if anyone on the CF boards have sent in complaints about/thoughts on the new rings. I may send in some feedback if not.
ReplyDelete"I was very pleased with my snatch" - *giggle*
"I spent the rest of my time at Balance on Tuesday watching Maikos snatch and talking about her butt." - and it blew Jmo's little mind because it was incredibly AWESOME and was truly the epitome of PERFECTION. Jmo cried afterwards cuz it was so overwhelmingly awesome.
Nice PRs as usual! Did you get your new rope.
Your butt was winking at me, it was awesome (wiping tears away).
ReplyDeleteI like your new name for the met-con! I think I am going to post a message on the Balance Gym Facebook page, they really suck and it sucks that they got rid of the good ones.
I got an email yesterday that said due to high volume of orders they wouldn't send my jump rope out until Friday :(
My butt wink brings all the boys to the yard~
ReplyDeleteok, that was lame ;P
Boo on the jump rope, hope it gets delivered soon after! I'm still confused about why Balance removed the good rings and not those metal ones...
