week 5

When this weeks workout was posted, i knew it would be rough and really tough.

Its a 20 min AMRAP of 

5 Power Cleans (145#)

10 Toes to Bar

15 Wall Ball shots (20#)

Tried this workout on Wednesday to find a good strategy for Saturday. But when the competition came, strategy went out the window. I was just trying to survive the whole 20 minutes. This by far was the worst and hardest feeling the past 5 weeks. Glad its almost over. Sorry no video's. Deleted them by accident. I finished 8 full rounds and only managed i think 2 or 3 cleans.

week 4 down

After seeing the workout released on Tuesday,  i knew HQ was really tring to weed off the bottom half of the rankings.

This weeks workout: As many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:

60 Bar facing burpees

30 Overhead squats (120#)

10 Muscle ups 

Looking at the numbers, the top athlete finished 2 full rounds, and the bottom half never made it to the muscle ups. And this workout did weed off a whole lot of athletes.

My goal was to get as many muscle ups as possible.



Finished with only 2 muscle ups. And happy with my performance.

Week 3

Week 3 has come and gone. This was by far the quickest and fastest workout.
This weeks workout was:
Complete as many reps and rounds as possible in 5 minutes of
Squat Clean (165#)
Jerk (165#)

Tried this workout on Wednesday and i was only able to get 19 rounds and 1 squat clean. Today's goal was to get at least 20 rounds.



Finished 21 rounds and 1 squat clean for a score of 43.

Note from last week: i was in the top 100 but didn't realized that there were more than 200 athletes yet to finish the workout. So i'm officially in the 200's. Final tally comes out tomorrow.

Week 2

Week 2 recap.
Didn't reserve my spot in time so i had to judge the first 5 heats, then have about half hour to warmup and my turn came. Asked a lot of the athletes i judged for strategy and the best was not to go all out the first round.  Did only 5 rounds this past Wednesday to see how it would feel and it sucked!

AMRAP in 15 minutes
9 Deadlifts (155#)
12 hands off deck pushups
15 Box Jumps (24")



Finished 9 full round, 9 deadlifts and 7 pushups for a score of 340.
Finished in 22nd place for the week at NOVA open and that officially places me in the top 100 for the Mid Atlantic Area. Still planning on breaking the top 60 when its all said and done.
