SWoD

Strict Chin Ups – 3xMax Reps

My Results

205lbs 2 pClean & 1 Jerk OTM for 15
Chin Ups: 6, 4, 4

whilst warming up, 225lbs felt heavy… however, i might’ve done that a little too soon as 205 was much too light. i decided to do the Amateur strength workout today – 3xMaxReps vs a 3RM – i don’t think i’m ready to do a 3RM for any of those pull up variations.

not sure really what the difference between Pull Ups and Chin Ups – i do them the same…

Today’s Workout

Squat + Rack Jerk 2+1, 2+1, 2+1, 2+1, 2+1
GHD Back Extensions + 25 lbs plate 3×12
Hollow Rocks 3×20

Complete:
Find 2 RM Box Jump
then…
8 x 40 yard Sprints

*full recovery between efforts.

My Results

Squat + Jerk: 225lbs, 245lbs, 265lbs, 275lbs, 285lbs
GHD – did one set of 12, then got distracted

2RM Box Jump: ~41″
40yd sprints: 5.3s, 5.1s, 5.1s, 5.2s (then ran out of time)

not pleased with the times on the 40s… i was self timing, so i’m not sure what impact that has on time… but seriously? 5s? eek. and i ran out of time, so i only got through 4 crappy 40s instead of the RX’d 8. i did have fun with the Squat+Jerk lifting though (2 squats then 1 jerk). and i did superset with the squat+jerk and some DB flies/extensions, just felt like i needed more. forgot what the hollow rocks were, so i didn’t even attempt them

Today’s Workout

Front Squat + Jerk 3+1, 3+1, 3+1, 3+1, 3+1

The Ensign

Complete as many rounds as possible in 3 minutes:
3 Power Clean 155 lbs
6 Push Ups
9 Air Squats / 9 Ring Dips

*Perform Air Squats on Rounds 1, 3, 5 and Ring Dips on Rounds 2, 4, 6.
*Repeat this sequence 6 times (6 rounds). Rest for 1 minute between the 3 minute rounds.

My Results

1RM Box – 46″ (forgot the seated position component of the workout though, doh)
Front Squat + Jerk: 185, 185, 205, 205, 215

Ensign:
round 1: 3 complete rounds + 3 cleans, 6 push ups, 3 dips
round 2: 3 rounds + 3 cleans
round 3: 3 rounds
round 4: 2 rounds + 3 cleans, 6 push ups
round 5: 2 rounds + 3 cleans, 6 push ups, 3 dips
round 6: 2 rounds + 3 cleans, 6 push ups, 4 dips

i started rounds 1-3 doing the air squats first, then was wondering if i was supposed to do all rounds for 1, 3, 5 as air cleans and all rounds in 2, 4, 6 as dips… so round 4 i changed and did dips first and then air squats… dips were a time killer for me today – no rings again, just regular dips – and after a week off with the new baby, and little to no workouts last week… i gotta hunch i’ll be feeling this for a couple days!
