Well, today was definitely an interesting and fun day. Some good times with the Clean & jerk and Frustrating times with the SNATCH!!! AHHHH!!! I do vow though to make that movement one of my strengths and will not rest until this happens.

Here goes:

OLYMPIC

A.) Worked to a heavy set in 5 minutes of 145 LBS or  65.90 KG. Attempted 155 LB but failed, not sure if this weight is a mental thing or what? I have got it more than once.
   
     then performed the 3 x 2 for this. This put me at 100 LBS or 45.45. It should of been 101.5, but did not have weights to equal that amount. All reps performed well and with technique and speed in mind.

B.) Worked up to a heavy set in 5 minutes of 225 LBS or 102.27 KG. Again, tying my record!! Gotta love it!!

    then performed the 3 x 2 for this. This put me at 160 LBS or 72.72 KG. Felt pretty good with this movement and kept it under control getting under the bar quickly.

C.) 4 X 2 of 130 LBS or 59.09 KG. Felt pretty good with these pulls and would believe that I could have gotten under for each one of them if attempted.

STRENGTH

A.) Worked up to a Heavy Set of 255 LBS or  115.90. Attempted 265 LB or 120.45 KG but got stuck in the middle and had to stop it. 265 is my PR though!

METCON

This was rather interesting as it is suppose to be a 1:1 relay. However, the partner I had for the Band assisted sprints was my wife and she only participated in that part. Therefore, I took a 2 minute rest between rounds. Results are as follow for rounds.


1. 11 BP, 48 DU
2. 11 BP, 16 DU (screwed up too many times, damn!!!)
3. 11 BP, 48 DU
4. 13 BP, 48 DU
5. 13 BP, 48 DU
6. 12 BP, 48 DU
7. 11 BP, 48 DU ( just could not get past that 48 number, had a good rhythm and kept it going!!




Overall I felt pleased with most of it, except one OLY lift. However, I have really increased my proficiency in DU from just a few months ago where I kept messing up on strings of 5 to 10. Definitely nice to see that improvement.
