  7. Yesterday: 4×3 deadlift at 225. I'm trying to work on my form and get back to pulling a heavy DL. The meet taught me that I have really been neglecting my hamstring strength.

    3×10 backsquat at 135. This was my friend's idea, it was an interesting exercise in trying to maintain my breathing, similar to swimming in a weird way.

    Today: I read the blog before it was adjusted so… 175 3rpm front squat. Did 2 at 185, but just felt a bit tired so dropped it back down to be safe and not look like a jerk at someone else's gym.
    Followed up w/ 3 RNFT of
    30 unbroken kettlebell swings at 35#
    15 bench press 75#
    1-3 handstand pushups (gym I was at had no ropes)

    Man, those kettlebells got heavy.

  8. 5 PM class, a new experience for me! (Probably one I won't be repeating any time soon, unfortunately.)

    Clean: got up to 83, failed at 88. Jeremy suggested practicing tall cleans so I can learn to get under the bar faster and more aggressively, which I can definitely do at home.

    Double-under practice. This might be the only thing I hate more than burpees, because at least I feel like I can do burpees — but on the other hand I was looking forward to the practice because I know I need it. I got 8 in a row, which was a PR for me. I'll take it.

    #1 fitness goal: to figure out how Paleo I want to be and stick to it. I'm really glad we're doing the challenge, because that will help me make an informed decision about whether being more compliant than I am now is worth the trade-offs (hot fudge sundaes!).

  9. Did Wednesday's workout tonight with Jeremy:
    Front Squat 3-3-3
    185-215-225 (PR tie)
    I almost lost the barbell on the last rep of 225

    Then 3 rounds NFT
    20 KBS
    15 DB Bench Press
    Rope Climbs practice

    Very fun workout. We should definitely do more rope climbs.

  10. Make up of yesterdays WOD.
    Kept the cleans light @ 125 to work on technique and I think my body started to catch on. Feeling better about the movement and not just muscling the damn thing up and catching it in a bad position.

    Then the double under flying thing – 20:05 rx
    I was cruising along with all rounds unbroken until the 35 on the down slope – took me till the 5th attempt! All good, last time I tried this I didn’t make it through.
