Sumos & thrusters

Lifting: 1 power clean & 1 full clean on the minute for 10 minutes, 95# (about 75% of my 1RM)

Met con: 3 rounds
15 sumo deadlift high pulls (55#)
15 thrusters (55#)
Time:6:10

Rx'd was 5 rounds, but I was worn out from yesterday's DL's & PU's, and Clark was starting to get cranky. Good workout.

Deadlifts & pull-ups

Power snatches - did a few singles at 75#. Coordination is so tough!!

20 minute AMRAP
7 deadlifts (155#, my current BW. Rx'd was 1.25 x BW, which would have been 195 for me. Uf DA!)
7 pull-ups

10 rounds + 1 deadlift

I finished the 10 rounds in 19 minutes and decided my back was too achy to do any more.

Push-up tabata: 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 6 = 60
Sit-up tabata: 10, ..., 10, 11 = 81

Missed most of the rest of the workout, tending to Clark.

Squats, snatches, 400's

Strength: One back squat on the 0:30 for 10 minutes (20 squats total)
Rx'd was your 3RM weight, but I used 155#.

Met con: 10-8-6-4-2 snatch (65#)
Each set separated by a 400m run (4 runs total)

Time: 11:51

85# was rx'd - I could have done that, and probably would have had much better form. As it was, I got through the snatches quickly & had to get right back on the run - ugh, but good for me!

Cindy at home

Car battery is dead, so worked out at home. Haven't done this in a while!

5 pull-ups (jumping)
10 push-ups (half+ with elbows close)
15 air squats OR sit-ups (did squats on the odd rounds, sit-ups on the evens)

Completed: 10 rounds + 5 + 8

Sit-ups were slow, but they meant I didn't have to get back on the push-ups so soon.
