Jan 25, 2012; speed sn, then some sq cl thrusters

A bit tired today, gotta get to bed earlier!
Mondays work was tough plus haven’t done much leg work because of hammie….yesterdays row wasn’t brutal but it put the final damage on some sore legs. Did a lot of active mobility today.
Haven’t hopped on the scale in forever, was surprised to see I’m 175#, heaviest in 7 years. Purposely have been eating more to recover, feel strong, a bit slow on bdwt movements. Will start to trim down.

0430: usual movements

0830; mobility

1030 main training

A. Speed work
3 Hang Squat Snatch every 60sec x 10 sets
stayed light (115#), moved FAST!!

B. 5 sets, increase weight each set
5 squat clean thrusters
10 burpees
25 double unders

Used 135, 145, 155, 165, 175

Thrusters felt good. Could have attempted some TnG with lighter weight but was in no hurry today, first time pulling from the floor instead of hang in a while.

January 24, 2012, rowing

Somedays ya simply gotta do stuff ya hate…ROWING!!!!

1k row 3:37.5, 1:48.7 pace
rest 15m
1k row 3:34.4, 1:47.2 pace

Goal was 97%, I guessed my 1k row was a 1:45 pace, so shot for under 1:50 pace.
Came out harder and finished harder on the second row thus the faster time.
I think I was more like 95%, wasn’t crushed after, could have done another at the same pace…so maybe I was more like 93%.

I’m excited about tomorrow as I’m work some squat clean thrusters.
Thrusters are uncomfortable for me but have been working my mobility so am excited to see how they feel.

I should have watched this before the row, would have gotten me past 97%!!!
