Tuesday August 2nd


SWOD- Deadlift 3x5 & HSPU 3x10

Another superset strength WOD.. Lots of volume this month, definitely helping with bodyweight stuff.
Deadlifts I warmed up pretty well and went for 275, 315 and 335. I probably had a little more in me for the last set. I will try 345 for a 5 set next time.
HSPUs I got the first two sets unbroken, and the last one I went 9 (8 plus a questionable rep), then the last one.. Next time we do these I am going to get all 3 sets unbroken come hell or high water.. Then I can move on to raising my hands a little with plates or parallettes and try to get full range of motion on these.. That will help in my goal toward being able to press bodyweight a lot.

WOD- 6,5,4,3,2,1 
Floor Press @ BW, 
High Box jump,
Bent over row @ BW

Time 4:28

I went with 185# on this, which is a little over my bodyweight but I wanted to challenge myself a little. I toyed around a little with the box jump height before the WOD and wanted something difficult but not so high that I would potentially miss and cut myself open again.. I put a 45,35,and 25 plate on top of the high box and that seemed like a good height for max effort box jumps. I only had like 30 seconds to decide so this would have to do. Bent over row was the most difficult part.. I don't have the raw back/arm strength to row that weight without using my body a little bit, but I got through the whole WOD unbroken which was sweet.
