Even extra more getting back in the gym

OH squat
10 x 20, 5 x 40 - 60 - 70 - 80 - 90, 1 x 100 - 105 kg.
They all felt easy, however on 105 I did tilt my chest forward because my knees dove in, which made both my shoulders rotate forward and it felt like they were both close to dislocating. So obviously I stopped there. But now I know my new mission: improving my bottom position in the squat by getting better mobilization in my hip joints that are too tight in the adductors, psoas and hamstrings. This in turn will allow me to keep my chest up and to have a closer grip on the bar, which again will reduce the force on the shoulder joint and allow me to hold more weight securely overhead. Boomsauce.

WOD "Linda"
For time, 10 - 9 - 8 - ... -1 of:
Deadlift @ 1.5xBW = 135 kg
Bench press @ BW = 90 kg
Power clean @ .75xBW = 70 kg

Time: 25:00. Same as the first time I did Linda when I had just started crossfit. And weighed 10 kg less. I did do Linda in 17:20 after 6 months of crossfitting, but it was still at 80 kg BW. This time the reps looked a lot better, so I am happy. And exhausted.

Rest day.

TGIF.

Here is an interesting video about energy systems and whether conditioning work inhibits speed and explosive strength. Turns out that it does not as long as it is oxidative, meaning below the lactic threshold. If the conditioning moves into the lactic area it will have a lot more impact on 1) the ability to train speed, as themuscles do not have a chance to fully replenish the ATP, and 2) recovery from the training session, and thus your ability to get stronger/faster from the work you do.

Funny how CrossFit is primarily about working in the lactic domain, thus requiring a lot of recovery from each session, and not really training speed/explosiveness in and of itself.

More getting back in the gym

Military press
5 x 20 - 40 - 45 - 50 - 55 - 60, 1 x 65 - 67.5 kg.
Not a pleasant lift. My shoulders are feeling strangely unstable still. Fell like I have been set back 1,5 years over the last two months.

Snatch grip push press behind neck
5 x 20 - 40 - 50 - 60 - 70 - 80 - 90, 1 x 100 - 105 (F) - 105 kg.
Felt OK, except for the right shoulder joint when under high load - I can feel the place where it snapped last year, and it feels uncomfortable to go there. Still, 105 kg is OK I think.

Deadlift w Hawk
5 x 90 - 110 - 143 - 152 - 162 kg.
Felt heavy today, but then I did squat heavy yesterday.

WOD w Smuksen
15 min AMRAP, 3-6-9-...-n of
Wall balls @ 9 kg
Sit ups
Push ups

Score: 7 rds + 27 + 8 = 287 reps.

Getting back in the gym

Back squat
5 x 20 - 40 - 60 - 80 - 100 - 110 - 120, 1 x 130 - 140 kg.

Bench press
10 x 20 - 40, 5 x 60 - 80 - 90 - 100, 1 x 110 - 120 kg.

Close grip Pendlay rows
10 x 20 - 40, 5 x 60 - 70 - 80 - 80, 8 x 80, 10 x 60 kg.

Everything was kept light and easy - just wanted to get a feel for what I can do after two weeks with sporadic illness, too much work and very little training. It felt like I could have squatted 150 and pressed 130 without too much trouble today, so that was nice.

Mon 14 - Tue 15 Oct 2013

Ret days (work).

GVT wave continues

Superset
OH press: 10 x 10 @ 42.5 kg (55% 1RM)
Front squat: 10 x 10 @ 72.5 kg (55% 1RM)

Did not keep strict timing between sets, so it took almost 1 hour to complete. None the less... The presses were easy (yay) and the front squats were ok (almost yay).

Feeling VERY sore from the other two GVT sessions, so tomorrow is going to be great, lol.

Was supposed to do a whole workout with C2B and HSPU too, but after 3 C3B my right elbow felt messed up to I decided to stop. Very disappointing.

Instead of trying to continue and half ass the workout I did a GVT superset of barbell rows and bench press.

GVT superset
Bench: 10s x 10r @ 75 kg.
Rows: 10s x 10r @ 65 kg.

2 min break between each set. Right arm felt ok as I was using straps for the rows.

Woo-eeeeeh I am sore today. Pecs and traps are on fire... feels good.
