Sunday Fun Day

I LOVE my Sunday WODs!!  Sunday is our day to work on our weaknesses, test and challenge ourselves, and have some fun!  We are relaxed, not in a hurry to get going or to get out.  We always have a great time!

Today’s Fun was:

1000 Jump Rope (singles)
30 Squat Snatch 55#
30 Burpees
30 Push Press 55#
30 Lateral Jumps over Barbell
30 Sumo-deadlift High Pull 55#
30 Box Jumps on 24# box
1000 Jump Rope (singles)

I finished in 42:08.  Then we did 4 sets of Tabata (4 minutes of 20 secs work, 20 secs rest for each exercise) abs/core work (16 minutes total).  Knees to chest (with feet in rings), Wall Ball Sit ups (10# ball), Plank Holds (with 25# plate), and knee up over box with 10# dumbbell. 

AWESOME WODs!!

Back Squat Progressions
5 @ 100
3 @ 115
8 @ 130

then

10 minute AMRAP of:
5 Hang Power Cleans
5 Sumo deadlift high pulls
5 Push press
*wearing a 20# vest

The back squats were great – despite yesterday’s long miles! I was shocked at being able to do 8 on the last set!!!! Then, I did the mini-wod wearing a 20# vest. It was hard but felt great! I am feeling wonderful these days!!!

Deadlifts
5 @ 160#
5 @ 175#
10 @ 185#

then:
21-18-15-12-9-6-3 for time of:
Sumo deadlift high pulls (65#)
Push ups (lift hands off the ground at the bottom)

I felt great during the deadlifts, and did better than I expected on the 3rd round getting 10. I might have been able to do 11, but started feeling it in my back. I finished the mini-wod after in 10:23. I felt pretty good and focused on form during the SDHPs. 65# was a good weight to go with – not too heavy, not too light.

I was pretty tore up from Murph on Sunday, so I took yesterday as a total rest day.  It was much needed.  I thought I was ready today to WOD again, but it didn’t go so well.  I knew as soon as I began my 12 deadlifts at 50% of my 1 rep max that it wasn’t going to be a good day.  Usually that weight is pretty darn easy, but it felt heavy!  Heavy on the first set, at 50%, is NOT a good sign.  I got to the set of 4 at 205# and managed two of them.  That was it.  I wasn’t getting much other weight up past that unless I had another half hour to slowly get through it, which I didn’t have if I wanted to do the Metcon.

The Metcon was:
30-25-20-15-10-5 rep rounds of:
Sumo Deadlift High Pull (95#/65#)
Ab-Mat Sit-ups (feet anchored under dumbbells)
Push-ups, release hands from floor at the bottom

I went with the 65# and finished in 20:44 and felt miserable.  No energy.  Major CRASH.  I wondered what would happen this week after a very hard week with heavy weights and the vest, along with Murph on Sunday wearing that vest.  I found out….apparently I was seriously depleted of any glycogen.  So, I went home and carbed up for a few hours.  Since I wasn’t prepared to do that I didn’t eat the greatest things.  I had pizza, pepsi throwback, and some granola cereal with milk.  Let’s see how I do tomorrow with a little glycogen in my system.  (I don’t like the carb ups….I feel bloated and gross after)
