On the quest toward 1 million pounds- (started 2-8-10), overall total at the end of this week 66,275.5 pounds.   This week 441,181.5 pounds.

Over the week....
BACK SQUATS
5x5  
FOR WEIGHT

2-15-10-  170, 180, 190, 200, 205

I didn't quite make depth but was very close.  It was a decent day for back squats.  I had initially intended to start higher and get another round or two at or over 200 pounds, they felt a little heavier than some days and it was a morning workout...which rarely seem to be stellar.

FILTHY FIFTY 50-   REPS EACH EXERCISE FOR TIME
BOX JUMPS (20")
JUMPING PULLUPS
KETTLEBELL SWINGS 12kg
WALKING LUNGES
KNEES TO ELBOWS
PUSH PRESS 35#
BACK EXTENSIONS
WALL BALL 16#
BURPEES
DOUBLE UNDERS

2-16-10- (45 MINUTE CUTOFF)-  45.01 (mod- knee ups for knees to elbows)

I was slightly I did everything in the same order I did last time we did this WOD.  Last time we had a cutoff of 30 minutes.  I finished everything but the burpees in 30.31.  I was 4.5 minutes slower on the first 9 going into the burpees.  It did take about 10 minutes to complete 50 burpees and  they were FAAAAARRRR from pretty in any way.  BUT I did finish everything in just one second over the cutoff with only one modification.  While not overly happy, I can live with this.

7x10 RENEGADE ROWS

3-COUNT

1 PUSHUP AND 2 ROWS PER REP

FOR WEIGHT

2-17-10- 15, 15, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40  (first set was broken, second set was pushups on knees- rows on toes, all subsequent sets were on knees for both pushups and rows)

I started these unscaled although I have no idea why I started so low on the weight and at that stayed at the 15# for 3 sets...what the hell was I thinking???!

I switched to my knees because my ankle just couldn't take the pressure.  I don't know what's up with that.  I had this problem when I very first started doing pushups (and planks before that) on my toes, but range of motion has been the only change.  The only thing I can think is that the extra bit of ROM increases the pressure enough that another bout of strengthening and or adjustment must take place.

I think I can honestly say off the top of my head this is my least favorite exercise....there may be some things I dislike, but at the moment I can't think of any I like less, including burpees.  I don't even think I will really like these after pushups become easy, I could be wrong, but don't think so.

DEADLIFT & PRESS 5x5 
FOR WEIGHT

2-19-10- DL- 235, 255, 270, 280, 265
                P- 85, 90, 95

We only got to 3 rounds on the press due to time.  I was pretty impressed with what I did on this WOD.  I was feeling almost hungover after having to take a sleep aid the previous night to do yet another sleep test.  This was round 3 for the sleep tests.  I had slept a good majority of the day, and had a raging headache when I woke up.

I was hoping to get 300 for 5, I have done 300 for either 2 or 3 reps (I can't remember which), so I didn't think that was too lofty a goal.  However the 280 took way more out of me than I anticipated.  I actually came pretty close to passing out.

We then moved to the press, I knew I could do 5 at 85 no problem.  I had done 5 at 90 before so didn't really think mush of that either.  I went 95 for the next set, thinking I should be able to get it.  Only 9 days prior I could only do 95# for 3.  I did in fact get the 95.  If we had kept going for the next two rounds, I would have went to 97.5# for the round 4 and the results of that round would have dictated my final round.  

BENCH PRESS & FRONT SQUATS 5x3
FOR WEIGHT

2-20-10- (due to time we only did 4 rounds of bench and I had to leave early so I only got through 4 sets of warm-ups on front squats)

BP- 115, 125, 135, 137.5
FS- (last 3 warm-ups) 95, 115, 135

I heard Coach tell everyone that since time wasn't going to allow all sets (most likely 2 maybe 3), that he was upping the reps to 5.  I still would have started set #1 at 145, but alas, I was off to any Oly Lift seminar. 

My partner and I did upwards of 300 reps of movement with about 100# or so using a 35# bar, then when asked by one of the trainers for our bar, we went to a 45# bar.  We did about another 200 reps or more using the 45# bar.  My shoulders and upper back were sore after finishing this.  I have a couple of things to work and these should hopefully help with my Oly lifts.  I had fun learning from people that might just have a slightly different way of explaining things, sometimes that little difference helps to make something click.  We'll see how this helps.  And cleans and snatches from the HIGH HANG...definitely harder than "FROM THE HANG".
