Fooled

WOD
10 rings dips
10 sumo high pulls (100 pounds)

For time.

I thought this workout would be a walk in the park. HA!Those ring dips slowed me waaaay down.

Time: 14 minutes.

First couple rounds were ok and then bam! Singles and doubles which took me forever to do.

Burpees Hurt!

WOD21/15/9

Burpee Hammer Curl to Push Press (50 pound dumbbells)
Pull ups
Ring Dips

Time: 19:49

The burpees killed me. Basically you would start in an upright position holding the dumbbells. Proceed to do a burpee with the weight, then stand up and curl the weight and push press it.

Today was a strength workout. Tomorrow I will do a WOD.

Bench Press Max and Meeting With Cindy

Last night was my bench press max. I've dropped 15 pounds on my max.

Bench Press
135x10
185x3
205x1
225x1
235x1
240x1

Stopped there. I had 5 pounds left in me. I'm down from a 260 press. Not good. I'm gonna add in some board presses at varying heights to see if I can get past 260. I'd be very happy with a 275 by the end of January. Seeing as my shoulders are not that great right now. The bench press has ben my weakest movement. At my best I was maxed at 315 and that was 2 and a half years ago before any shoulder injuries had happened.

I finished off with a mini Cindy.

15 squats
10 push ups
5 pull ups

As many rounds in 10 minutes.

11 rounds at a time of 9:49.

I hit the wall around round 7. I had nothing left in my upper body and I was shaking and felt like fainting. All I had was some trail mix about a couple hours before. Normally I am wiped after a workout but this was a different feeling.My goal is to get 12 rounds next time I meet with Cindy.

Power Clean PR

I decided to go for a PR last night. I figured a 225 power clean was well within reach.

I lost my drive during the initial pull. I didn't bother to try again as I was happy with my PR. So, it looks like I am going to try and aim for a 250 power clean by the end of January now.The other area I would really like to work on is my Press. It's probably around 150 right now. My shoulders are shot and I need to fix them. I have no power in them whatsoever and it is quite frusterating.
