Work Capacity: ”Zimmerman“ Complete as many rounds as possible in 25 minutes of:
  • 11 Chest-to-bar pull-ups
  • 2 Deadlifts, 315 pounds
  • 10 Handstand push-ups ---> sub 20 push ups
-  10 rds + 11 pull ups (finished 11th rd)

Notes
  • Body: Felt good and ready to train.  Unfortunately, during Stamina I experienced left knee pain that I had never felt before, and decided to cut it short (3 rds instead of 5).  I first noticed it during the lunges, where it would bother me during the pushing portion of the lunge.
  • Workout: Went well.  Zimmerman was a good tough WOD.  Deads were heavy, and I had a fair share of misses in the later rounds as my form became poor.  My low back definitely felt it, and affected OHS performance as well.

  • Workout: The Marines didn't have the pull up station up when we got there, so I didn't do the pull up contest this year, bummer.  Shoulder work went well, overhead carries are effective and I need to do more of them.

  • Run: 2 miles today including the 400m of shoulder carrying.  12 on the week.  I'll cap it here and handle the rest at a training event this weekend.

  • Workout: Specific target work today, went well, felt strong.
  • Run: Good run today, running a mile @7:00 wasn't bad.  I need to drop that to 6:00 pace though, and I'll slowly do that.  4 miles total.  I'm shooting for 12 because I have 18-24-hr event coming up next Friday night, so I am tapering in a sense.

Notes
  • Body: Still kinda sore/kinked in lower right back, right hip flexor.
  • Skiing: Good times, good conditions.
  • Workout: During push ups, was going very fast for first 55 seconds or so, then slowed down dramatically, to sets of 5 push ups at a time.  It would be good to increase my work capacity to 80-90 seconds before slowing down like this.  Sit ups were at a good pace throughout.  Pull ups felt very heavy today for some reason.  Overall, not bad, but want better numbers in this test format (105, 105, 22)

(1000 yd total)

Notes
  • Body: Very sore left soleus.  Right hip still a little sore.  Glutes/hams as well.
  • Workout: Pretty good workout today.  Attempted new PR on BP but didn't make it.  During Stamina, having my feet that high seemed to limit my push up ROM, and didn't seem to make them too difficult.  WC--I mis-remembered Man Makers--it's a renegade row + DB squat clean thruster.  I did DB burpee squat clean thrusters.  Essentially halved the push ups and no rows.
  • Run: 800m today brings week up to 7.5 miles.
  • Swim: Went pretty well, time is clearly dropping but still have some work to do.
