Wednesday 3/11 - OPT Repeats - Day 33
RPR; Mobitliy, Movement Prep
Training:
3 sets at 80% RPE
30sec Wall Ball (16-16-16)
30sec Pull-ups (15-14-10)

Notes:
First set of everything was legit...but I could definitely feel the wheels coming off by the third round. Especially the pull-ups and Double Unders. Although, comparing numbers, I ended up doig 15 more reps (total reps) this time around compared to 10 years ago. I improved on everything except the pull-ups.

Saturday 2/15, OPT Repeats - Day 22
RPR, Movement Prep
Training:
7 Rounds of
SDLHP @ 95% for 90 sec
rest 10-20 sec
35 Double Unders
rest 2 min
SDLHPs - 60, 60, 60, 60, 60, 60, 60
Notes:
I cut off the SDLHPs at 60 reps per round, which was around 1:05. I would rest the remaining 20-25 seconds and then attempt the Double Unders. I did not string together a single set UB.
My left patellar tendon lit up around the 4th or 5th round. I took my time and pushed through it...going to have to take it easier this week. I think the running and then the double unders on back to back to days might have been more than my tendons could handle. But it may be due to my glute meds being lit up.

Notes:
Just played around with the Snatch. Didn’t push it. Felt really solid through rep 3 on 135. 4 and 5 hit, but were not as smooth.
Felt good to grease the groove on BS and that the groove felt Good! HSPU ladder was scaled to a 10# bumper. All sets UB except the set of 10 (6-4).
Double Unders were completed. I from sets 2-6 I was going every :30 and was UB. Then set 7 broke twice. 8 was UB, 9 was 28+2, 10 was 9+11...ripe got caught in between my toes in my vibrams.

Row 200m (20 SDLHP w/ 45# BB)
AD 20cals (20 Burpees...and they sucked. Just tried to survive them)
10 box step ups 24"
Rounds: 4+20 SDLHP + 10 Burpees
Notes: felt like I had more in me on the Heaving SB but ran out of time. I missed on 220# but think if I wasn't rushed and thinking anout what was next and needing to move on so I didn't run out of time, I could have gotten it and maybe a little more. I was shooting for 225 today. Far cry from my best ever at 300#.
225# on any variation of Snatch is a recent PR. Last time it hit 225# in a Santch variation was a Hang Power version last year sometime and I used straps. This time was a full version with no Straps. Not apples to apples, but the closest comparison I have. Would really like to hit 230-235 again at some point.

Total Rounds: 3+8 PC/J (1st round was in :52 sec. All PC/J UB, DUs UB for first two, then 20+15 ish on last 3 sets. Really lost time b/t transitions and on latter rounds of DUs - breathing too much I guess)
Finished last two rounds in 7:11 (3 min to do 1.5 rounds...cruise control was apparently on.
Notes:
Really sucked it up on the PC today. Not sure what the deal was. I really thought I would be around 275#. Felt like I had no jump and the weight was too far forward on the first pull. Felt like my butt rose too fast causing the weight to move away during the jump phase.
Need to remember to maintain big toe contact and flare knees to stay more upright during the pull.
