Monday

Knee still feels great from yesterday so today was just a quick met con:

10 minute AMRAP
6 Squat Cleans (115#)
12 Chest to Bar Pullups
24 Double Unders

This was actually taxing on the arms cause they are all pulling movements.
Took me awhile to get used to the double unders. I guess i need a longer warm up with double unders.
Finished with 5 total rounds and 3 squat cleans.

Friday

Worked with Maddie today and try to get her ready for the Mid-Atlantic Hopper this November.
First part of the workout was Deadlifts. With a running clock, every 3 minutes, we did 2 deadlifts for  rounds. Every missed lift was a burpee punishment at the end.
My lifts were: 315, 335, 365, 405, 425, 435, and 445 missing on the final lift. Maddie hit a pr on her last lift with an impressive 217#. 

Met Con:
5 rounds
3 Clean and Jerk (155/75)
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Rounds of Cindy

On paper we were going to do 10, 8 6, 4, 2 rounds of Cindy, but glad Tom was there to talk us out of it. The hardest part of this workout were the pushups.
Time: 15:59 and 19:11 for Maddie.

Good day at the gym..

After a terrible day at the gym yesterday, today was a good day at the gym.
Did the 5k 5 ton workout from Crossfit Diesel.
The original workout involved running 5k, but i substituted the run with the row.
For time:

21 Deadlifts at 225#
1000m row
21 Front Squats at 135#
1000m row
21 Power Cleans at 135#
1000m row
21 KB Swings at 53#

Did the deadlifts unbroken and finished the first 1k row in 3:30. The front squats were harder than i thought. Thought i would be able to finish them unbroken but i had to do them in sets of 5. The second 1k row was way slower than the first. Finished it in 3:55. Did the power cleans in sets of 5 also, and the third 1k row was terrible. Finished it in over 4:15. I was completely exhausted before i got to the swings. Did them in 2 sets. I wasn't really looking forward to the last part of the workout. I think i could push myself through a 2k run, but the a 2k row is just painful. Had to take a break with 1k left, and just pushed myself to the end. Final time was 30:59.

Too Much Time Off

1. 3:33
2. 3:25

Should have done this outside, but was a little worried about how my knee would function. Treadmill just takes longer to desired speed.

For time:
100 Cal Row
400m Run
75 Cal Row
400m Run
50 Cal Row
400m Run
25 Cal Row
400m Run

Time: A shade over 30 min.

It was way too hot to run outside, so all the running were on a treadmill. Downfall was that it took the treadmill over 20 seconds to get to the pace i wanted.
