Felt alright today, but it was the second day in a row that incoming mortars killed my sleep. Oh well, could be worse, much worse!! As I said though I felt pretty good with the training today until I got to the last METCON, man what a freaking killer!!!
TRAINING:
Skill 1:
Could not complete this at the Rep Scheme suggested. Finished first five rounds at 3 Reps each for MU with no failures. Then had to complete last 5 with 2 reps no failures. I wanted to do them all with stringing them together and not breaking them up. If I failed a rep I would stop and then wait til the minute began again. One of the things I am working on ON MU is to string them together without missing on one and not having to break them up so that's what I did.
Strength:
Completed this one but not to the ability that I was hoping to. I think I was a little more taxed from Skill one and hurt me a little on this. Completed at following rep scheme
12 with Overhand Pull
9 with Overhand Pull
7 with Underhand Pull (hate this grip on a straight bar)
6 with Twisted Hand Pull.
*As stated before, thought I would be able to get into Double Digits on all of them. but was not the case today.
Skill2:
Completed this Skill, still working on getting better on my Pistols. But they are coming along, starting to get good range of motion on right leg as my knee has given be problems with this leg and movement in the past. Agility exercises are starting to help. Handstand holding wasn't bad, I have always liked doing this movement.
Conditioning:
I did not have a rower for this one so I replaced it with MAX rep Double Unders.
Completed this as follows
53 Push-Ups (horrible!!!)
7 1/2 reps prowler push (150 Meters-ish)
110 Double Unders
7 Reps prowler Push (140 Meters-ish)
35 Push-Ups (even worse!!) not sure why push-ups were so horrible today. Consistently got in the 70's in 2 minutes when I was in the Army. But, then again I was completely fresh then. haha!!
2nd Metcon of the day
*This was the killer. Thought it was going to suck, but man it really blew!!! 200 Meter Farmers Carry even at just 53 LB started to kill my grip like crazy. I think this hurt me in the beginning on my KB Clean and Jerk's as it seemed to take way to long to finish the first rep scheme. Double Unders were fine as I think I am starting to get where it's pretty much a muscle memory with this and more about the mental aspect. Unfortunately, I do not have a 20 LB Wall ball right now so substituted the finisher with 50 Thrusters with 20 LB/9.09KG Dumbbells each hand. Completed time: 21:18. Was hoping in the beginning for 16 Minutes, harder then I thought it would be.
My diet has been the same as usual. Coffee, Water, Eggs, Lean Meats (when served, try to healthiest there is in the chow hall) Plenty of Vegetables and some Fruits. I have also been taking Syntha-6, Amino-X, Cell-Mass and True-Mass. Started reading a book on eating for your blood type and it seems pretty informative. I am Type O which basically says comes from the first human ancestors and hints at eating as a hunter-gatherer (go figure huh!) But, it goes into even more detail about which types of meats, veggies, fruits, spices and such are the best for my blood type and which ones are not. It's fairly interesting. If any of you are interested check it out. Its written by Dr. Peter J. D'adamo, eating for your blood type.
