Saturday 29th September - 2012

CF Style hit out

AMRAP in 18min:
15 box jumps @ 60cm
12 Shoulder to overhead @ 52kg
9 Toes to bar
*Aim is to better CF open score from earlier this year.

Notes:

Horrible effort, wasn't feeling it at all today, was pumped throughout week to beat previous score but on day was flat and felt out of puff, shoulder to overhead felt once again tough, and box jumps left me out of breath, was going at a slow pace which meant each round took an average of 4mins, although most rounds were unbroken pace was too slow, the mentality and drive wasn't there. Disappointing result.

Score:

6rds + 10 box jumps

Wednesday 5 September 2012

Wednesday 5th September - 2012

Mobility + O-Lift tech + Moderate aerobic scenario 

Dynamic mobility 10min - focus on mobility from previous
+
Build/warm up squat snatch to 60kg 10 times, resting 1-1:30 b/t each lift, aim is to get comfortable at this load keeping tech the same for each lift
+
Split jerk, short intensity wave: 
1rep @60kg, 1rep @65kg, 1rep @70kg, 1rep @75kg
Strip it back and do 1rep @ 67.5kg, 1rep @ 72.5kg, 1rep @ 77.5kg, 1rep @ 82.5kg; rest 1-1:30 b/t each, aim is to feel natural speed carry over heavier loads
+
10min double unders, start easy effort >> build to 80-90% effort across the 7min


Notes:

Squat snatch form wasn't as clean as usual, dropped two I front trying to get under too quick, other than that was fine.

This felt good on split jerk, form felt stronger than before from in front, problem isn't weight overhead it's balance on dip.

Double under form was better and this was tough had to break a few times.
