Tuesday November 1st

I tried to get some training in with 2 semi-separate sessions today.
1 strength component, rest an hour, then a WOD I had concocted.

SWOD - Deadlift 5x5
I planned to do 5 sets of 5 for some higher volume, but this changed slightly by the end when I became fatigued.
I did 135x10, 185x10, 225x8 for warm ups to get loose.. These all felt great.
For my working sets I did 275x5, 295x5, 305x5 (started to get some fatigue in my lower back around this point), 310x5.. I was going to try to do 315x5 but I ended up just doing 3 singles and then felt like I needed to take a rest, back was tightening up and I had already put in a lot of reps, so it was good to listen to the body and back off.
This was a step in the right direction though. 315 for double felt impossibly heavy last week or so, and 310 for 5 felt really good this week, even with a lot of fatigue built up. Happy to make a little progress on these, I will be back to form soon. Unfortunately probably not in time for the Garage Games, but what can ya do? Time goes fast.

WOD -
Row 500m
10 OHS 105#
10 KBS 2 pood
Row 400m
10 OHS/10KBS
...
(etc. down to 100 m)

So, full disclosure, this sort of fell apart for a multitude of reasons. Some of the folks doing the intro walked in and I had to introduce myself mid-WOD. During the 3rd round of KBS my hands felt like they were gonna slip and I did one rep with some lousy form and my lower back just twinged enough that I was like "Ok, not worth it". The deadlifts definitely took their toll, so I stopped the KBS after 26 total reps.
However, small victory.. I was able to do all 5 sets of 10 OHS unbroken with 105 lbs. For me, this is a nice step in the right direction because I am really terrible at these, especially with any weights over 100 lbs.

Time, who knows. I got distracted like 7 times so my guess is unreliable.
Need to stop training in the middle of a whole bunch of crap going on. My bad.
