Sunday 7 sets of FS and 200m run

Sleep:  Pretty good- 10p- 7:30a, nap from 12-2p
Food:  Suffering from some mild stomach upset, so didn't eat as I usually would.  7am small amount of coffee with cream, a banana and an apple with some almond butter, post WOD refuel and protein shake, balance bar ~noon,  popcorn and deli turkey ~3p, zone bar at 4p, dinner was a Greek salad sans cheese and some meatballs, arctic zone ice cream for snack before bed


Training at 10am


7 sets @ 90-95%:
5 tough Front Squat
Run 200 m
walk rest 5 min b/t sets




Had some stomach upset last night and today, so this workout was probably more like 80% to keep the puke factor to a minimum.

Set 2:  1:30 run 200m and 100# FS
Set 3:  1:24 run 200m and 100# FS

Bench Press

Sleep:  10p- 6a- better, afternoon nap from 12-2p
Food:  Day three of starving- love those heavy dead lifts!  6 am coffee with cream, post wod protein shake, noon breakfast salad with eggs and pepperoni, mixed nuts,  dinner salad with sirloin, after dinner banana, almond butter, and date smoothie with protein


Training at 7:30am


Corey's notes: Next BP set should be a wider grip to improve pec recruitment over delt/tricep... this will improve your dips and reduce the strain on your elbows.  In fact, I’d love you to do a wide grip BP test to compare to the CG... perhaps build to quick 3010 @ WG then perform this workout as CG.



WCBP test was 90#, 5# lower than my CGBP test- this is very skewed, but explains some other deficiencies I have.  That being said, I changed this workout to WGBP



Plenty of mobility and warm up to include squat to stands and supine bridges
A1. WGBP @ 32X1: 6, 6, 4, 4, 3, 2; rest 90 sec
65#x6x6, 70#x4x4, 75x3, 80x2- last rep was a struggle

A2. C2B Chin Ups @ 31X2; amrap (-1) x 3; rest 3 min (Ensure deep full breath in order to have chest to bar successful for full 2s hold)
5,6,7,6- felt good, did four sets due to low numbers, as usual, got better as the rounds went on

B. Using 70% of 1RM, 10 DL @ 20X1 x 2 (145#)
Ran 800m prior to and immediately following deads
Done- felt easy- reps 9 and 10 started to burn

RKBS, Box Jumps, and DUs

Sleep:  Crappy again- baby waking in the night and wrist pain... long nap from 2-4:30p
Food:  Super HUNGRY again- thanks to the heavy dead lifts- 8am coffee with cream, post wod refuel and protein shake, lunch at GreenLife mixed green salad with cod and mixed veggies, and kale chips, apple for snack, dinner for Dining Out for Life at Chai Pani- corn salad, okra fries, tandoori chicken salad, arctic zone ice cream with nuts before bed

Training at noon


3 sets @ 100%:
3 TNG Dead lift - moderate load (heavy but can pull fast)  
Set 1 185# x3. Compare to your 4reps earlier in week... 175#x 4 does not lend well to 185 x3 tng (Corey's comments are in blue)- as usual, I overestimated my abilities- clearly I should have used 155 or 165- lesson learned
Set 2 185# x1, then 175# x2, Set 2 175#x3- row
Row 15 sec AFAP
felt super easy (track meters to gauge output and efficiency)
rest walk 3 min actively
+
3 sets @ 100%:
5 tough russian swings
5 box jumps fast
15 double unders AFAP
rest 3 min
32 Kg (70#), box jumps and DU felt fast and easy
