Another Solid Weekend in the Books...and More PRs

Had a great weekend. We ended the Paleo Challenge with lots of PRs! My brother's college grad party was an amazing time and bad for everyone's diet. Sunday was a great Hawks victory. Overall a win!

Thursday:
Conditioning WOD:
5K Run
23:29
(Ran this one in Elburn. No PR, but it was a tougher course for sure.)

Strength WOD:
Hang Power Clean 3-3-3-3-3
95-115-135-155-175
(Stayed light since I was tired from the 5K earlier)

Friday:
Strength WOD:
Deadlift 5-5-5
280-320-360
(5 Rep PR by #5!)

Conditioning WOD:
5 Rounds:
3 Power Clean #185
12 Sandbag Getups #30
7:05

Saturday:
Strength WOD:
Max Effort Thruster

(Also hit #205, 225 & Missed #250)

Conditioning WOD:
"Minute of Doom" (Squat-24" Box Jump-Pushup)
12 Rounds + 13/13/8

Sunday & Monday: Off Days...much needed!

I'll hit it hard tomorrow, then I'm off to San Diego for a few days and I'll hit up a few CF gyms out there. I'll keep you updated!

That was freakin HEAVY!

I've taken Mark Rippetoe's advice and learned how amazing squating stupid heavy is! Didn't get to do any conditioning today because of a busy afternoon, but at least I PR'd my 5 Rep Back Squat!

Strength WOD:
Back Squat 5-5-5
275-285-295
(#10 PR!)

Not bad considering my 1RM was #285 a little over a year ago!

3 Days of Bad Food & Beer = Ouch!

Got back in the game today, but everything was STIFF! Everything went well, but I could have done much better on today's conditioning WOD if I was up to par.

Tuesday:
Strength WOD:
OH Press 5-5-5 (65-75-85%)
115-130-145

Conditioning WOD:
3 Rounds:
5 Thrusters #135
10 Burpees
20 Double Unders
5:27
(Felt like junk...all my fault)

That'll teach me to party for 3 days and not work out...or not!

Long Weekend...Good WODs, Bad Food, Fun Times!

USA!!!

Memorial Day Weekend 2010 was amazing. I rocked a few great WODs at the beginning of the weekend, enjoyed some sun & water, ate a bunch of bad food, drank some beers, spent time with family and friends and overall had an awesome time!
