Alright, I haven't lifted anything heavy in what feels like days (I am a meathead, forgive me).. so I was wicked fired up to see some heavy cleans on the whiteboard today.. I felt a new PR rumbling, but have not tried these in months. I felt strong today so I wanted to see how warm-ups went and go from there.
I hit 135x5, 155x5, 175x3, 185x3, 195x2, 210x2.. These all felt excellent.. Smooth transitions, good explosive pull from the ground, likin it..
I threw 230 on the bar and walked away for a second just to get the lifting belt, threw some chalk on my hands, and gave it hell.. Of course, with my luck, the fucking bar hit the belt on the way past my stomach (good indication that I am pulling right against my body though, self back pat!!) and I ditched it.. I was pissed, threw the belt down, waited like 30 seconds, and went back at it.. SUCCESS!! New PR on power cleans..
WOD-
Tabata Awful
HSPU
Squat
Push Up
KB Swing 1.5 pood
Row (calorie)
Oh Tabata, how you humble me..
Typically I do the stupid move on tabata and totally go for broke in the first 3 rounds and then gas out by round 8 and end up with a lousy score.. Today I went at it a little different and actually tried to game it for a couple of them. The hardest by far was HSPU but push ups also always gets me, those last couple rounds sneak up on you..
I ended up with (worst scores):
3 HSPUs (wanted 4, but what can ya do)
16 squats (thought I could get more on this, but my legs got tired by round 6)
8 Push ups (happy with this, this is the highest I have ever completed for tabata pushups)
8 KBS (gamed this one too much, I was worried about grip but it never ended up being an issue, should have gone for like 10 on this easily)
6 calories rowing (this is weird, seems like whether I pull hard or half ass it I always get the same total, no clue how that calculate that shit in the rower computer)
Total - 41 Rx'd
