Strength:
Deadlift 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - max

135 - 185 - 205 - 225 - 225(9)

Made a rule about not dropping the bar just touch and go, grip slipped on the eighth rep and could only get one more before it was going to drop.

Conditioning:
Double "Helen"
6 Rounds
Run 400m
21 x KB swings (50lb)
12 x Pull ups

So a little let down with my time (26 mins 32 secs), the grand plan was to take it easy on the runs 2:10-2:15 pace and try to blow threw the swings and pull ups.  Turns out after two rounds the swings an pull ups even with taking a little more time on the run still really suck.  Still got through it, thinking next time I won't try to pace myself to even splits and will just go for it, going to suck either way so might as well get it done.

Wednesday, November 21, 2012

Nothing to intense other than the super fast last conditioning part. Seems like it's super easy but its a sprint.  Anyways going to rest it up tomorrow and enjoy Thanksgiving, I'm sure I'll have a lot of working out to do to burn off all the turkey I'm going to eat.

Not exactly sure about time but it was somewhere between 11-12 minutes.

"CLOVIS"
Run 10 miles
150 Burpee Pullups for time. 

So Happy Veteran's day.  Decided to do the main site Hero WOD.  I have not ran more than five mile in about a decade.  Needless to say this was pretty brutal.  Still figured with rest added in I would average 10 min. p/mile pace and it would take around 30 minutes for the burpee pull ups.  Turned out to be right, not going to lie this was brutal.  


(2 hours 10 minutes)

Endurance

Timer malfunction led to me losing track of how long the workout took, pretty sure it was around 12 minutes.  Went a little slow on the runs 1:50-2:00, didn't know how much the K2E and squats would take out of me and didn't want to die.  Felt pretty good throughout though.

Thursday, November 1, 2012

So decided after two days of eating enough Halloween candy to send your average person into diabetic shock that I was going to need a longer workout.  So went to the well and pulled out Murph.  Nothing like a hero workout to take you to that place of suck and keep you going.

Strangely my performance today was much better and relatively easier than expected.  Breezed through the first mile in a relaxing 8:40 and performed the middle of the workout Cindy style.  The push ups usually the hardest part were solid.  I did take a little to long on the breaks after each third round and  in the transitions and lost a bit of time there.  Still for a time just over 40 minutes it felt pretty good or I should say I've gone slower and felt much worse .

"Murph"
Run 1 mile
100 pull ups
