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).
