Thruster/K2E

Warmup:
3x15 overhead squats (pvc)
3x15 situps
3x15 back extensions
3x15 pushups

3 rounds for time of:

Today was a “finisher” for me. Heavy deadlifts for warmups do not make for fast metcons, although I do like the heavy lifts in the warmup. I feel like I am getting a well-rounded workout each day. BUT, if any of you want to race, I’m skipping the heavy lifting first unless you do it too. :-)

AND, unobserved WOD’s at Nissan don’t count. :-)

Widow Maker

Warmup:
3x15 squats
3x15 situps
2x15 pullups
2x15 ring dips
AMRAP in 7 minutes of
  • 20 overhead walking lunges (45#)

3 rounds as Rx

WOD: "Widow Maker"
20 uninterrupted reps of back squat at 60% of 1-rep max
My 1-rep max is 345# so 60% = 207#
I used 210# for the WOD

I completed the set with little trouble so I did another set. Total of 2 sets of 20 reps each @ 210#.

Evan saw this was relatively easy and upped the percentages on the blog to 70%-80% to compensate. I imagine everyone else will only do 1 set.

PP 155#/185#/195# (failed) - met my 3-rep PR of 185#
PJ 195# (1 rep)

I also power cleaned 195# which is a new PR for me.

2x20 meter squat pivots
2x20 meter karaokes

200th WOD

Warmup:
Agility drills
3x5 back squats (185#/235#/255#)

WOD: "Sprawl"
5 rounds of AMRAP in 3 minutes of:
  • 6 snatches per arm (55# kettlebell)

  • 4 ring dips
Rounds
  1. 1 round + 6 snatches
  2. 1 round
  3. 1 round
  4. 1 round
  5. 1 round
This was one was brutal. The heavy one-armed snatches were killing my elbows and wrists. Anyhow, this was my 200th WOD so, all things considered, it wasn't 200 burpees for time.

BEAR

Warmup:
3x15 ring pushups
3x15 pullups
2x15 situps
2x15 back extensions
2x15 medicine ball cleans (20#)

WOD: "BEAR"
Compare to 4/24/09 & 1/21/09.

5 sets of 7 reps of the following lift progression:
  • power clean
  • front squat
  • push press
  • back squat
  • push press
  • tap barbell on floor and start next rep
There is no resting the barbell on the ground between reps. However, you can rest between sets. Try to increase weight with each set.

  1. 95#
  2. 115#
  3. 125#
I only had time to get 3 sets in before I had to go. However, the last time I did Bear, I topped out at 105#. So today was a great improvement. If you want to see a video demonstrating this WOD, click on the 1/21/09 link above.

Couldn't quite push 150# 5 times so I had to drop back to 135# to finish the last set. Getting stronger, though. Should help out on my total next time. Have to keep working on press.
