5000 OVERHEAD

5000# OVERHEAD (anyhow)

060309- 10.19

I chose 65# for 77 reps using the power snatch. I decided since I never seem to be there for snatch work, I'd do this workout this way. I probably could've done it with cleans and some form of press faster, because my power clean is much much better. I can say that 10.19 I can live with, a couple more reps (literally) and 10# more weight than Randy, and my time was either the same or better than my last Randy time even with the extra weight.

My shoulder was still quite sore so anything overhead was not going to feel good. It might've been a little eaiser with power clean and some sort of press, but if it's already sore, and going to be more sore, I thought the lighter weight with this might be OK. I think I'll live, but man since last Tuesday it's been a pretty heavy shoulder work fairly consistently. I am definitely ready for my day off tomorrow. Alway seem to miss tomorrow's variation of Helen too...don't think I've done it even once.

PUSH/PULL

PUSH/PULL- 3 ROUNDS of 3 REPS

BENCHPRESS + DEADLIFT

060209- BP: 115/115/115
DL: 235 (closed stance)/255 (sumo)/255 (sumo)

I was ready to KICK this workout when I showed up. I figured for 3's this would be good and I would get good weights. BOY WAS I WRONG! My shoulders and chest were super sore from Cindy. That makes benchpress a little difficult, considering the shoulder soreness 115 was OK, but I had wanted to go for more, but didn't want to over do the shoulder again.

The deadlift on the other hand...I have hit 275 for 3 before, 265 more than once and 255 for 3 on a regular basis. However, I decided to work on my closed stance, which just doesn't feel awkward, it's actually difficult for me to get set up with correct form, so I was OK with 235 in that stance...still a decent weight since I can't remember the last time outside of certifications and 1 functional day that I just just deadlift for weight in that stance. I switched to sumo stance for the last 2 sets, got the weight belt and wanted to do 275. I attempted on pull and couldn't even break the floor. I went to 255 knowing that should be pretty easy...man on rep 3 I was crooked and had to do a small hitch on the left side at the top. The third round was just as bad. I stayed at 255 and was glad to put this one to bed.

CINDY

CINDY- 20 MINUTES AS MANY ROUNDS AS POSSIBLE
5 PULLUPS
10 PUSHUPS
15 SQUATS

060109- 5 rounds + pullups + 1 pushup (MODS- blu/mini bands & full pushup negatives)

I'm really just not a Cindy fan. The combination of pullups and pushups still just makes my shoulder quiver and a little sore. I consider the P&P combo about as sucky as the running/squat combination. O/well, I finished it the best I could with the mods what more is there.
