The Ides of March

March 12th
Rest Day. I owe a Diane though, I have been meaning to try that workout again and see how I do. I hate high rep HSPU so it should be ugly.

March 13th
Pumped Up Kicks
1 Mile - 6:51 - Not a PR but definitely my first sub 7 mile in a long while.
Had no one to chase, so I slowed up a little too much in the middle.
800 m - 3:20?
400m - 1:19? I forget, all I paid attention to was the mile today. The 400m I had no gas left.
Early morning workouts are rough.

March 14th
Rested again, the Open WOD has box jumps and my legs are still not right.

March 15th
Open WOD 13.2
9 Rounds + 1 rep

I am iffy on this score. I am happy I got through it, but I think I may have had more in the tank if I mixed in some step ups, but I think step ups are for pussies. So fuck it.

March 16th
Make up WOD
Snatch work - OTM - High hang, hang, OHS. Played around with 115-125# or so for most of it. Mobility did not feel great today. Knee was hammered.
Earth Quake
I believe I got 10 swings and 11 ball slams on every round. Used the 30 lb ball.


March 17th
St Pattys Day
No WOD, spend the day walking a million miles in Southie. Too much to drink last night. Oh well.

March 18th
OH Complex
I am happy with this. I worked up to 155 for this complex which is close to my normal PR for a press. Small victories.

Blue Plate special- 5:something. I crushed this. Barely stopped at all, felt good with the KB overhead almost the entire way. Fun different one.

March 19th
Power Clean Doubles
Worked up to 245 for an ugly 2. But the 235 and 225 were pretty nice.

Row 2K - 6:56.7 PR. Boom.
Almost died at the end of this. Worth it. Almost a 3 second improvement.


March 20th
Pull Up Complex - Did something like 35 strict and 35 kipping pull ups

Push Pop- 9 Rounds + 5 reps. Great workout. Sneaky push ups at the end.

March 21st
Rest Day

March 22nd
Handstand work, still struggle with this, but I guess I just need to practice more, frankly.

Triple Sec - Got Up through the Round of 21 for both.. Which I guess is 84 reps of each in 9 minutes. This is good I guess? The rep scheme is always really hard on this for me. I hate when it gets to that terrible point and the reps are way higher.

March 23rd
Open WOD 13.3
Ugh.
I had a plan going in and stuck mostly to it based on feel. I finished the Karen part in 7:19 which is a nice pace, cranked the DUs and had about 2:30 or so to muscle ups.
I ended up with 10 reps, failed the last attempt. This is 4 reps better than last time I did it, so I will take it. Awful workout by all accounts. There is no amount of training that can prepare you for 150 wall balls worth of exhaustion.

March 24th
So my legs are trashbags today. But I decided since I was at the gym all morning anyways I should do something worthwhile.
I ended up doing max effort yoke carries. From 300-460 in increments of 20 for 30 yards. Wall to window.
Then I did a slow paced 5x3 box squat. I ended up doing 285-305-315-325-335. Felt pretty strong, but not fast. I was struggling at the sticking point for the end reps. I think my legs were just tired.
Big rest needed tomorrow.

Monday March 25th
Legs pretty much just for show today, I can barely walk.
Looking forward to the Hero WOD tomorrow though.
