Today I decided to do "Lipson", the Again Faster WOD 3. I was hoping to do well but then something happened:
21-15-9
Back Squat 185# (Taken from the ground)
KBS 1.5 pood
My time
3:30
The only problem was I only did 20 Back Squats on my first Rd! Idiot!!!! The nice thing is I get to do it again and try to beat my time....probably not for awhile though, and I will tell you why in a bit. Next I did a WOD with weighted MU's....my first weighted MU WOD! I learned a lot from it:
8 Min AMRAP (wearing 25# weighted vest)
2 MU's
10 Deadlift 185#
My score
6 Rds + 3 Deads
It took me awhile to get the hang of the MU's in a vest....actually my 2nd Rd of Mu's took me 1:30 to get 2! Fortunately I got the hang of it and went unbroken the rest of the way (With a lot of rest in between the unbroken sets.) Nonetheless something else to add to my training. Next I did the class:
1 Rep Shoulder Press Max
175 x 1
185 x 1
195 x 1 (FAILED)
195 x 1 (FAILED)
195 x 1
It took me a few tries but I got it. It is all about bar placement and keeping it close to you and getting your head through instead of pressing with an arched back. I was happy! Next was a fun WOD:
Box WOD
Tabata Push Press 75 #
Tabata Ring Rows
My score
132 PP
46 RR
I was shot on the Ring Rows and had nothing left after Rd 2. I think I averaged 3-4 reps each interval after my first few. Loved the Push Presses!!! I decided to now go heavy. I saw Blair Morrison has been doing a lot of EMOTM heavy sets until failure of until 20 Minutes. I have done a few of these but today was the heaviest I have went:
85% 1 Rep Max Back Squat (345# - last heavy 1 rep I did was 405#)
2 Back Squat EMOTM for 20 Minutes or FAILURE
My score
15 Rds + 1 rep
On my 16th Rd I started to fall forward on rep 2 and completely lost it! I was so close and upset. I do not get to squat heavy very often because I train alone so much so it was nice to have someone spot me on this. I was smart (not normal of me) to call someone out to spot me once I was past Rd 10. I felt strong still but was moving slower with bar. Something to work on and get better with as long as I have spotters.
