Thursday workout

am workout: VO2
50 sets of 7 reps with 16kg.

I should've kept going instead of cutting it short to go to work. Work could've waited. 80 sets is right around the corner, then i will up the reps to 8.

Been awhile again.

Didn't realize it has been so long since posting. There has been a lot of big things going on in my life lately that I will be bringing you up to date on. Last weekend I re-certified as a RKC instructor after completing the three day class. More on that also.

Hearts - Burpees w/jump
Diamonds - Sprint in place

What a great way to start the weekend. Tore the deck in half when I was done to make me feel better.

Doing more bw conditioning work and taking a break from the big lifts after the TSC. I was burnt out on DL and pullups. I've been doing a little grip work everyday and will continue until I can feel that I need to take some time off. Surprised myself with the cards and phonebooks. I couldn't start a PB on Sunday at the Grip and Rip. I was shot physically and mentally. Recharged today I got threw them.

Still feeling fatigued from the weekend. More mentally than physically. I digested alot of info and was over stimulated. Need to get some rest tonight.

Reflections on my TSC experience..

Me with Mike Nelson, Adam Glass, Brad Nelson and a really bad ass sledge hammer.

This was my first time competing in a TSC or any competitive weight lifting event for that matter. My numbers:
BW 226
DL 510 PR
Pull-up +10kg 12 reps
Snatch 32kg 79 reps
I’m happy with my number because I hit two of my three goals for the competition. I wanted to hit a 500 DL, I did. I fell short on pull-ups, wanted to hit 13/14. I had completed 13 reps a few weeks before the comp. I had never snatched a 32kg kb for five minutes before. I wanted to be between 60-80 reps. 79 was a number I’m happy with. I now have a baseline of where my lifts are. I will come in better conditioned and post higher numbers at the Sept TSC. I also wanted to comment on those that did compete. It takes a lot to put the nerves aside and step into the spot light and perform in front of an audience. To all those that competed this weekend, my hats off to you.

Been a long time since I've done 1 arm pushups. Forgot about the tension that is required to complet multiple sets of them. The pullups with the bw+24kg kb went up easier than they have in a long time. Granted there were just singles. Good workout today.

Joint Mobility

Great Joint Mobility to do upon waking in the morning, before working out or prior to athletic activities.
