July 27- Aug 5

You could probably tell but the last few weeks I haven't been too motivated to workout.
I don't enjoy competitions as much as I used too. I was considering not competing in CrossFit for awhile and just doing some Oly meets for fun. Buying/Remodeling this house and travel hasn't made things easier. When I get back I plan commit to training consistently again.

A. Power Clean x1 + Push Jerk x1 + Split Jerk x1 - 8 tough sets of the complex; rest 2min 
I wasn't sure what I was capable of here. I worked to a heavy complex at 300 then did the 8 sets @ 245. I have a video on my fb page timeline. 
B. Hang Power Clean x10 + STOH x10 - 1 set of the complex every 3min for 5 sets (155# across, AFAP)

I experimented with bouncing the bar off the quads "Grid Style". Iv'e never attempted it before. It saves the grip and posterior. I did a few normal HPC letting the bar travel lower loading the posterior.  Then I did some bouncing the bar. Bouncing the bar was 5-6 seconds faster per rd. 

+
6 Rounds @ EN2 (140-160 BPM)
60sec Sled Push @ moderate load (let HR dictate turnover)
60sec Wtd. Reverse Bear Crawl
60sec Yoke Carry @ moderate load (let HR dictate turnover)

Aug-1
Team Comp - I Snatched decent hitting 265. The conditioning did not go as well. Airbike killed me. It was on an Assault bike and I have been on an Airdyne. The Assault is much harder. I'll have to get one. 

There were some squat cleans in a workout. I tired on those quick also. 

Aug-2

:42, :38, :39, :38, :41 

I stopped here. Shoulder did not feel good after the last set. I had pain lifting above 90 degrees. It isn't horrible I think some mobility should fix it. I have also been having some bad patella pain and and been extremely achy after working out in the quads. I can't sit for more that 15 minutes. I'm going to focus on mobility in that area.

So I obviously really suck at getting my blog posted. My athletes suck at it too. I had them create a private FB group and they just added me. I get notifications and can provide quick feedback from my phone. It is also easier to add videos.  It has worked out well. Do you want me to give this a shot rather than the blog? 

I leave in about an hour for Disney, I'll be back on the 12th. 

July 20 - 25

I am still busy but things are getting to a manageable point now. 75% done with house projects/ moving and my wife and kids leave on Friday so I'll have a little more time next week. 

I do have a lot of other things going on in August. It is annoying.

I am being forced to go on a family vacation with my wifes side. Disney Cruise + Disney world....in August....in Florida...waiting in lines with little kids. 

This weekend is that competition I told you about last week. Friday all I do is Snatch. Saturday are the other events. 

I leave 8.6 but not until afternoon. I get back the 12th. I plan to do a lot of basic conditioning and might be able to get to a box outside of Disney 1 day. They are a tourist based gym so I doubt they will let me do my own thing.

I agreed to fill in for someone for a Ragnar race August 14th. I realized after I agreed that it was 2 days after vacation. I told them I don't plan to run fast this could be my basic conditioning day. 

I am doing the TTT camp Aug. 22-23. Looks like 2  days for that thing. 

Overall feeling better than last week.

Snatch emom starting at 165 adding 10lbs

30 clean and jerk for time 225
30 Snatch for time 185
30 muscle-ups

- 22:41

No one wanted to be my partner and all were doing full thing. I let my ego get the best me and did it also. I Did this about a year ago in 23:30.

I over paced the clean and jerks.  In the past the jerks got hard but weren't as bad as I remember. (9:00ish)
Snatch was sloppy but I power snatch them all. 
Muscle-ups felt great. One of teammates was 10 reps ahead of me when I got to the rings and I fought up to him. I would have passed him but we were sharing the rings. 

Jul-25

CTB went slow too. My bicep tendon was rolling over for the first 20 reps. 10 sets of the 3's. 

Wall-balls were bad too - 1 set of 25 then 15's for the rest of the way through. 

June 26-30

 The intensity and volume is leaving me feeling good right now.  I think could experiment with adding a little more soon if it keeps up. I am sore from the gymnastic strength but much more motivated than a few weeks ago.

Row - 20min @ Z1 (2:05-2:15 pace) -This was my first Tuesday coaching 7 classes and traveling between both gyms. I wasn't able to get this done.  We had a 5k run this day. I ran with a group of slower athletes that had never run an Unbroken 5k. 42:15. A new PR for me!

A. Squat Snatch - 5 x 1.1.1.1.1; rest 15sec + 3min (185# across) - Completed 3 sets, for fun Kyle and I did a set at 205 and 225 also. I attempted 245 but started missing every other lift. He hit all 5. 

B. Seated DB 2arm Shoulder Press @41x2 - 3 x 8-10; rest 2min (moderate, focus on maintaining midline stability)
C. Seated Bnk Z-Press (snatch grip) @31x3 - 3 x 8-10; rest 2min (empty bar to start...build if possible) - The team was ready for the workout at this point. I'm going to make this up Sunday and add some lighter Push jerk recoveries with a slightly longer hold. Last week after the heavier recoveries my shoulder had pain for several days.

*report total time + /500m pace - I don't what happened here, I fell of pace got pissed and it all fell apart. after that I just settled in at a comfortable 1:55 and don't even know my time. This was the last portion before a rest day so I shouldn't have expected to match a Pr I guess.
