  2. Rock the run Jenna and have a ball!

    Reposting from yesterday…

    Press 5×3(45x5x2, 55×3)60,62.5,65,70,72.5(PR)

    Today is Robb’s birthday and the big NorCal party. We’ll be doing some unknown workout, but Robb has to snatch his age at bodyweight. With a busted up finger.

  4. John C. and I decided to brave the weather (31 degrees, 25 w/ windchill) and went to the old playground (which is a lot dirtier then I remember) to do The Deck Of Death wod…

    Each shuffle a deck of cards (52 cards + 2 jokers) and start the chrono on your watch. Each numbered card is face value of reps, aces are 11 , and face cards are 10.

    Diamonds = Push upsSpades = Pull upsHearts = BurpeesClubs = Sit upsJokers = typically rowing but we subbed double-unders (me: 100 per joker, John: 50)

    So, if my math is correct, it’s 95 reps of the 4 suit exercises and 200/100 double unders).

    John- 42:25Erik- 41:52

    One of the rude things about this workout is when you get a string of the same suits. Like at one point I drew 3 face cards and in 8 of push ups in a row. Still, it’s a lot of fun.

    At brunch the endorphins kicked in big time. Felt gloriously high. Had a bunless burger with tomatoes and broccoli.

    Then I went to the Y and went rather light after all those push ups and burpees.

    70 lb. dumbbell bench press: 10, 9, 9, 7Dips: 10, 7, 6, 5

    My right shoulder feels a bit tweaked at times, so I didn’t even bother with any presses.

  5. GO Jenna..

    today presses went well

    85/95/100/100×2/100

    the first 100 was pretty messy, the first two on the next attempt were solid but #3 didn’t go up. Last attempt was good.

    a/w with 20lb medball

  6. press: 105, 115, 120, 125, 127

    this felt great, the encouragement on the last rep from everyone definitely helped me put it up. I would have failed it if I were doing this by myself.

    accessory work: situps @ 45, twists @ 35

  7. Press 3-3-3-3-360, 65, 70, 75×1, 72.5×1, 70×3

    Working on setting my breathing at the top of the press rather than the bottom to keep the bar moving btw reps – definitely helps. Thanks Jeremy & Shane! I stalled for a second too long on the two heavier weights and couldn’t move them up again. Next time.

    Caveman nutrition log:The scale at the lyceum doesn’t seem to be as evil as I expected it. Maybe because it’s an American one. According to this stunning wonder of technology I lost 5 lbs within a week. Apparently there is something to this paleo thingy. Well, maybe that tasteless almond butter has something to do with it, too.

  9. Press: 50×3 55×3 57×3 60×1 58×2

    Yay: no shoulder painBoo: form falls apart on 2nd rep so back to Press school for me

    Accessory work w/ 14lb medball

    I wish I found almond butter tasteless – lately I’ve been going through almost an entire jar of Trader Joe’s raw almond butter a week! oops…

  11. Foundations.

    Thrusters and Sumo Deadlift High Pull 65lbs.

    4 rounds of 10 each. 10:00.

    Stephanie left some paleo cookies around that we sampled. Is there a recipe or a way to get more? They were amazing.

  12. that deck of death sounds nuts..

    pressfelt really good. the wu with planks was a really good exercise in helping focus how the body should be during the press. amazing how form, elbows forward, among others, really really makes a difference.

    stephanie once again..superb paleo cookies, thank you.

  15. Wow, thanks guys for the wishes– I’ll tell you… I will never gripe about the cold in the lyceum again… todays race made the lyceum feel downright balmy.As i had nervously anticipated, my knee did not play nice over the 13 miles and by mile 11 with both the painful cold and my knee, it became a real battle to finish. I came in a full 15 mins off my half PR, which isn’t great, but having been told by a physical therapist some years ago that I was never going to run again, finishing still felt really awesome.

    I am supposed to run the Bronx half in 2 weeks, so hopefully my 2 weeks on the road and weekend back at CFSB will help keep that plan in the air.

    Have a great week training, all… and thanks to Shane and Jacinto for all their great coaching this week. You guys are awesome. It’s still amazing to me that we can have 3 awesome coaches all gone at once and still have the incredible caliber of coaching throughout. So thanks, guys. Now off to get some more warm tea in me…

  16. congrats on doing the half jenna!
