Tuesday

Conditioning

400m Assault Runner - 90 seconds off
12 x 10m shuttle runs - 90 seconds off
400m AssaultRunner - 90 seconds off
12 x 10m shuttle runs - 90 seconds off

400m - 1.40
Shuttles - 36
400m - 1.35
Shuttles - 36
400m - 1.35
Shuttles - 35

Running not my favourite but went at it hard. Those assault runners are brutal. If you've never tried or been on one it's hard to describe how much different it is to just running 400m on the flat.

Lifting

Power Clean - 10 ascending single reps to find 1RM, Then 3 mins max reps at 80% of that 1RM.

60kg
62.5kg
65kg
67.5kg
70kg
72.5kg
75kg missed one
75kg hit
77.5kg hit - 0.5kg PR
80kg hit - 3kg PR thanks to a quick tip from one of the other lads working with me. Chuffed with that as that is another PR on top of Fridays 2kg PR.

3mins @ 80% (64kg) - 20 reps. Happy with this as well.

Good session all round - hard work but PR's are coming along nicely at the moment.

booyaka · 15 Jun 2018 at 11:48

Wednesday

Conditioning

5 x 500m rows - 2 mins rest between each one. Aiming for 4-5 seconds off your max single 500m

Lifting

Power Snatch - 10 ascending single reps to find 1RM, Then 3 mins max reps at 80% of that 1RM.

Then 19 reps @ 80% (42kg)

Some Double under practise as well.

Thursday

PT session - Worked on T2B, and linking them. Not a strict EMOM but worked on doing T2B, then kip, then T2B, then kip etc - Got 4 t2b in a set - pleased with this as singles was all I could get before. So whilst I'm having to put the extra kip between them, it's improving my grip strength and time on the bar

4 x 10 Australian pull ups
4 x 10 Lat pull downs

Kipping pull up
practice

booyaka · 15 Jun 2018 at 12:49

2 Mins Rest

8 Mins - You go, I go

7 Cal Ski
7 15kg Slam Balls
14 Alt Leg V Situps

Good session with a new chap who has just started - think I got 5 rounds of each done in the time.

Barbell Class

DT Practise

3 Rounds - increase weight each round if possible.

1st Round - 3 Mins on - DT - Split reps anyway you want between partner and yourself. I started at 40kg for 1st round and did full DT round then partner went (again new chap so he was just getting used to movements etc) - We did 3.5 full rounds between us.
1 min rest
2nd round - I went 50kg and we split it into 9 reps each and got 3 full rounds done between us
1 min rest
3rd round - I went 60kg, partner stayed with 40kg. Aimed for 6 reps each of DT and got 2 full rounds plus 12 deads done.

Then Power Cleans

2 reps every 90 seconds @ 80% of 1RM. 64kg for me. 10 Rounds

Then 5 Rounds of singles every 90 seconds for a 1RM.

Started at 70kg/74/77/80 to equal my PR, and then 83kg. Missed 83kg 3 times but stayed on it as I was certain I had it. Coach gave me a small tip and finally got the 83kg. Walked it out a little but still well chuffed with that. Power clean was 75kg at the start of the week, now 83kg!

Good weeks training, and some real signs of progress for me personally.

booyaka · 15 Jun 2018 at 14:02

Forgot Squat Bootcamp on Wendesday

3 x 5 reps @ 97.5kg
2 x 5 reps @ 100kg

booyaka · 17 Jun 2018 at 10:26

Saturday

Quick session as son at his crossfit class.

Hero WOD - Randy

75 Power Snatch @ 75lbs (35kg) - 6 min cap.

Not good one for me as my snatch isn't great. Went with a plan of doing 12 then 11, then 10 etc however didn't go to plan!! Weight is ok but just reps start to get a lot. Completed 68 reps - not bad I guess - first time doing this one but something to re - test down the line.

Also did some work on T2B etc.

booyaka · 18 Jun 2018 at 13:50

Sunday Night - Bootcamp homework

Back Squat 3 x 10 reps @ 92.5kg done.

Monday

Strength

7 sets of 2 reps @ 90% of 1RM - Squat Cleans
Go every 2 minutes.

I've temporarily lost access to beyondthewhiteboard.com where I log all my numbers but I "think" my squat clean was 80kg for 1RM but not tested in a few months. So I did the 7 sets at 72kg

Conditioning

15 min cap

Max Row distance but every 3 minutes do 10 Burpee box jumps, start with 10 as well.

I think I'm coming down with a cold/sore throat etc as I was completed ruined by the end of this and still am feeling less than 100% - I always go hard but feel pretty lousy today after it.

Managed 2336m total. Also fell over the box once so that was no rep. I was aiming for 2500m as I could easy hold a 2min/500m pace but the BBJ took a little over a minute and ultimately cost me hitting the 2.5km mark.

booyaka · 19 Jun 2018 at 15:47

Tuesday

Conditioning on treadmill 8 x 250m runs with 30 secs rest between each set

1)48
2)47
3)46
4)46
5)45
6)45
7)45
8)43

Squat snatch @ 87.5% of 1 rep max - 6 sets of 2 reps

1 rep max 50kg - 87.5% was 45kg

2 reps for 6 rounds - 2 reps hit every round. - However technique was poor and I felt that I was halfway between power and squat. Not really getting deep enough into the squat position.

HSPU - Still just working on getting into Handstand position and holding that against the wall for 5 seconds. 6 x 5 seconds hand stand holds.

Weakness work -

4 x 10 @ 40kg - Lat pull down
4 x 10 incline press

Double under practice - still work in progress.

booyaka · 20 Jun 2018 at 13:29

Wednesday

Only had an hour this morning whilst my son was at swimming at 6am! Decided to do the Weekly Comp WOD.

In 3 mins complete:

9 Deadlifts
6 Hang Power Cleans
3 STOH
9 Chest to Bar (banded pull ups for me)
then max Cals on Assault Bike for what time left.

90 seconds off, 3 Rounds - Score is the Cals on the bike

70kg was the Rx weight but I scaled to 60kg.

Doesn't sound bad but damn it's a "grippy" workout. By the 3rd round my forearms/grip was struggling.

Hit 29 Cals /21 Cals /18 Cals

booyaka · 22 Jun 2018 at 12:18

Thursday

PT session again

Worked on Squat Cleans as I wasn't happy with them the other day. Just working various techniques and areas and the worked up to 47.5kg which was my old PR, Hit 50kg easy, then missed a bucket load at 53kg!!!

Also some OHS to keep the flexibility in the shoulders and solid core etc

Then conditioning

EMOM - death by

6 Wall Balls (1st min)
20 Double Unders (2nd min) - scaled to singles for me
9 Wall Balls (3rd Min)
25 Double Unders (4th Min)
12 Wall balls (5th Min)
30 Double unders (6th min)

etc etc

Got the 21 Wall Balls and 50 Single unders round done, and then 15 wall balls of the 24 round done.

booyaka · 22 Jun 2018 at 12:25

Friday

Conditioning

30 seconds on - 15 seconds off - 3 rounds each station before moving on.

Russian Twists (15kg plate)
Assuault Runner
Box Jumps
24kg KB single arm cleans

Then 40 seconds on - 20 off - 3 rounds each station before moving on

Plate touch and press (15kg)
Assault Runner
Burpee Box Jumps
Plank position onto hands to elbows

Phew - another sweat session.

Barbell Class

Yuck - what was it - yip - Squat Cleans!!

Again some technique work to start, then in a 9 min window complete -

10 reps @ 40kg
10 reps @ 45kg
10 reps @ 50kg
10 reps @ 55kg
10 reps @ 60kg

Scale accordingly - So I started at 30kg and did 35/40/42.5kg in the time. Missed a fair few lifts so only got 39 lifts in but probably attempted about 50!!

Then push for 1RM.

Hit 40/43/45/48/50/52 and finally 54kg! Super happy with that after having a struggle earlier in the week with Squat cleans - some good technique work done and a great jump this week from 47.5kg to 54kg in my squat cleans.

booyaka · 25 Jun 2018 at 17:48

Sunday Night Squats

3 x 10 reps @ 95kg. Up 2.5kg on last weeks 10's

Monday

20 cals any machine
50 Double Unders

5 Rounds - 12 min cap.

Doesn't look too bad but my doubles are still crap so cost me time there - I still go single single double, single single double. Finished round 4 and got 10 cals on round 5 done.

18 V Situps (or 6 HSPU)
18 Air Squats (or 9 T2B)
9 Hang Clean & Press dumbell 22.5kg

6 rounds - 12 min cap.

Another stinker - I have a few T2B but not enough to complete a round in a reasonable time. situps and air squats were ok but just took time, left shoulder was giving me grief on the press. 5 rounds complete.

For most Rx athletes this was fairly quick and easy 2 workouts - I felt that I just sucked today from the start. Just not at the races today - called it a day and went home. Tomorrow is a new day.

booyaka · 28 Jun 2018 at 11:01

All round rubbish week of training - I think I've let my food intake slide as I'm feeling super tired this week, everything is hard work and just lacking in energy all round. Also checked the scales this morning and I've dropped 6lbs in last 2 weeks which is unheard of for me as I'm not training to loose weight. Food has been clean, no alcohol etc but thinking back, I'm way under my calories over last 7/10 days.

Need my holiday next week - 2 weeks off training - Lanzarote.

Just feeling in a rut/struggle at the moment.

booyaka · 20 Jul 2018 at 17:42

Back from holiday - back at it. Feels like starting again!!!

First day back at it from holidays.......

Conditioning Row - 3 mins on / 90 seconds off - 3 rounds - max calories - 60/59/58 - Straight into Row 20 seconds on/40 off - 7 rounds- 9/8/8/8/7/7/8 cals.

Lifting - Hang Squat cleans - 2 lifts every 2 minutes - 80% of 1RM - 65kg for 8 rounds - long time since I hand squat cleaned so fairly sure this was 80% of my 1RM from a while back - need to re-test this sometime.

T2B - 20% of your max set every 30 seconds for 10 minutes - max set for me is 5 - so I did 2 reps for first 5 rounds, then singles for next 15 rounds.

Good to be back at it

booyaka · 22 Jul 2018 at 23:18

Sunday Night

Conditioning

9 Min - Max distance Row but every 90 seconds - 9 burpees. Start with Burpees,

Then lifting

10 min EMOM - 3 Touch and Go Power Cleans @ 75/80% of 1RM.

Did 3 sets at 60kg and 7 sets at 62.5kg. Need to work on the bring the back out of the rack onto my legs for the touch and go - ended up with massively bruised legs!

Then 5 mins for heavy single - hit 70/72.5/75/77.5 and 80kg - not to bad as my PR is 82kg.
