FOR WEIGHT

3-22-10-  BS- 185, 200, 210
                 P- 95, 98, 100, 100(2+1pp), 98

I was pretty happy with the start of the week after completing today's WOD.  I got 5 more pounds than I have gotten for 5 consecutive at depth squats in a few months.  I've been stopping at 205 on the high end. The 210 felt pretty good too, I probably could've done more and would have if there had been more than 3 sets.

The press I was really happy with.  My current 1 rep max for press is 105#.  I got one full set of 3 in at 5 pounds less than that.  I then got another 2/3 of a set at that same range.  All 15 reps were within 10 pounds of that max rep. 

Once we finished, I thought I give a single rep at 110# a try.  I did get it to about the top of my head, which is higher than last time, but not good enough yet.  Soon hopefully I'll get it.

ANNIE
50, 40, 30, 20, 10
DOUBLE UNDERS
SITUPS
FOR TIME

3-24-10-  15.05

I like Annie.  I was really hoping for a time at/under 12 minutes, but alas that did not happen.  I did get a PR by a whopping 10 seconds.  If I can get my DUs going better, I have this one.  I know now about how long it took me to do 50 this time, and roughly how long for 40, my 2 worst sets and I could definitely get that time down if I can get consistently better strings.

OVERHEAD SQUATS
5x5
FOR WEIGHT

3-25-10-  105, 115, 115, 120, 120 (4+1)

I went into this one shooting to get a set of 5 at 125.  I would have done it too, had I not been so un-steady on my first set of 115.  My wrist was the first thing to give out on the last set of 120.  Next time that number should go up.  These are a great Ab exercise...especially after Annie the previous day.

LYNNE
5 ROUNDS FOR MAX REPS (TOTAL AND EACH ROUND)
BW BENCH PRESS
PULLUPS

3-26-10-  Bench press (130#)- 3, 4, 4, 3, 4
                 Pullups- 6, 6, 4, 6, 8 (1.1.3.3 bands **rnd 1**, 2.2.3.3 bands **rnd 2-5**)

I was pretty disappointed in my performance on this one.  Bench press last week felt pretty damn heavy and that was the same tonight.  I was actually surprised that I was able to finish the WOD with 130# the way things were going.  Last time I did this WOD, I uses 130# and got 5, 5, 5, 4, 4.  I really felt like I should've been able to get 5 in all rounds this time.  UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

Pullups were suckin' major ass.  I only got in 6 pullups the first round in the bands I typically use for workouts.  I switched to add more assistance in the next 4 rounds and still didn't do better, which should've been the case since the assistance strength was greater.  My pullups in general have been sucking lately.  Usually if I use the 2.2.3.3 bands I can attain chest to bar pullups, and couldn't even do that for the low number I was able to complete.

This day ended in major frustration.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
HANG POWER CLEANS 65#
FRONT SQUAT 65#
RING DIPS

3-27-10-  14.56 ( mods- #4 band on rounds 10, 9, 8, 6, 1.  #4+#1 on rounds 7, 5, 4, 3, 2)

I really think my time should've been less on this WOD.  The HPCs and FSs were easy.  The weight for them, typically my first or second warmup weight.

I did better on the ring dips than I had done in while.  I did a total of 34 in just the #4 band, I had to add a #1 for some rounds for a total of 21 done with the extra assistance.  Better than the previous couple times I did a ring dip WOD.  They felt way better too.  These were definitely the slowest of the 3 exercises for me, not only getting in the bands but actaully completing the reps too.  I fully expect this one to be easier/better time next time it is done.
