Quick notes

I have not been by a computer to blog in weeks between giving my 2 weeks notice at Raytheon and doing anything related to coaching.

Quick wrap up since Thanksgiving time.. Just putting down notable PRs and such because I forget some things, especially workouts I made up on the spot.

PR'd my snatch. Twice.. 180 last Friday and then 185# on Tuesday December 11th.. I am fired up. I think I am finally getting the hang of them 2 years later.. When I get to 200 someday I am quitting sports cuz I will be so damn happy.

I said to someone last week I think that if I ever join the club of people who can snatch 200, clean 300, back squat 400 and deadlift 500.. I will shit my pants in happiness.


I Deadlifted 425 last monday, that was nice. Have not pulled for a max in ages, so to tie my previous PR was a nice feeling.

Other than that I have mostly been following my own programming for the gym since last blog post except for a couple of Fridays that I have been in Somerville and done a rogue workout. I did a partner WOD similar to the Cindy Sprints we did, but with buddy carries also. I also did that horrific mainsite 20x20 workout that took ages. I only had Allio's time in my head, so I tried to beat that and got it by 9 seconds, which was nice. I was torched from that workout. 20 front squats after 380 other reps was terrible.

PR'd my max box jump at 52" I believe, and PR'd Murph by like 5 minutes with the vest on Thanksgiving, which an awesome day. Super happy to be a part of that.

The workout "Downhill from here" crippled me for like a week. That was awful.

Lots of box squats lately, getting pretty heavy on those. Got up to 365 for a double, and 325 for 5. Which was nice. I wonder if I can do 300 for a regular full depth squat now.

The Ron Swanson partner workout was awesome, loved that one.

Tiger Mom and 5th Gear were surprisingly awful, I thought both would be easy and I was wrong.


As I sit here on Thursday I am not sure what I want to do later. I want to do the Presses and HSC's for EMOTM work, but want to do a met-con as well due to yesterday's beers and laziness.. I'll make it up later. I will either do Mistletoe from yesterday or something with burpees and double unders.
