We will just start with the lack of coordination of Monday's Clean and Jerks. 3/3/3/3/3.
For some reason, when cleans get heavy, I can't figure out the lift off the floor without pulling thing. I'm ok - not spectacular by any means, but can do them kind of ok until I hit about 95-100 lbs...then they start really turning astray. I did these at 85/95/105/115/115. Ah - the jerk part of the clean and jerk is SOOOO much easier!
Cindy yesterday about killed me. I can generally do pushups - 10 in a row until round 5 or 6 - then break at 7 or 8. Nope. Not yesterday. Yesterday, at about round 4 I started having to break them up. I still got in 10 rounds plus pullups/pushups. But that was a mere 5 pushups more than last time - and last time, I was really working the full ROM - even if it wasn't quite good enough, I was focusing more on "kissing the floor". This time, I was just trying to survive - so I really didn't work hard on going down low low on them. By the way - I've completely lost my pullup. Before I left, I could do about 1-1/2 dead hang pullups in the minis. I can barely do 1 in the reds. Not sure if it's the lack of sleep, bad eating from last week, weird eating this week (I thought I'd be eating out with a client for lunch/dinner/lunch - but this particular client says "I think we both have better things to do than sit and make small talk with each other" - WOW!!) So, yesterday, I did not eat nearly enough, and when I found myself starving, I scrambled and ate crap. So - Cindy nearly did me in. Between sleep issues (did I mention I woke up at 330am and could not go back to sleep?), bad eating, and reaclimating to Denver and normal life, I've been feeling a bit off.
Tonight - DEFYght gone bad - 3 rounds
Wall Ball 16#
Sumo Deadlift High Pulls - 55#
Box Jump - 16"
Push Press - 55#
Double Unders
I about keeled over and croaked on this because I couldn't breathe!! I started with the Wall ball - otherwise I don't know that I would have scored as high. Because I was able to do them after a rest each time, I managed to get in about 20 per round. Which helped immensely. I believe I ended up with 218 - I think it was 10 more than last time.. I could be wrong on that total though. I counted the DU's the Patty way - only the ones I actually made - no counting the ones that got caught up in my feet. I'm really surprised I did as well as I did - because I was toast....beyond toast. Could not breath or catch my breath - THIS is where I definitely feel vacation took a hit on me!
Ugh - I almost think I'm gonna be off a bit until next week - when my body adjusts to mountain time, and I've had a couple days of normalcy. We'll see. Oh - and have I mentioned, that my body is more sore than it's been in a long long long time from these basic moves. Yes, still not as sore as jumping squat days, and the pull to inverted hang day - but definitely worse for wear on these moves than I've felt in a while!
