Catching up after getting back

Just realized I haven't really been posting of late. Work has been trumping workouts and sickness had me worthless. Enough excuses though, this has been a good week. Saturday at the Capital Affiliate League was good, we are 3rd place out of 8 headed into the last week. Monday: EMOM for 8:00, 1 snatch, working from 70-90%, went up to 155lbs Every 1:30, 5 rds, 1 clean and jerk from 70-90%, went up to 200lbs Then, for time: 10 Deficit HSPU (2 blue plates w/abmat) 10 OHS @115 50 double unlnders 5 muscle ups 50 double unders 10 OHS @115 10 DHSPUs Didn't start my watch, but it felt like ~7:30 Tuesday: Didn't bring my gear down, so this was boots and utes. Constantly varied, right? Tested weights on 135/155 SDLHP and push presses for the next CAL WODs. Then, 7 2-position snatches @115 for form. Karen, as 15 rds of 10 unbroken wallball shots, 10 breathes between each round.

Happy New Year's Eve

2014 will be my 1st year in the "land of google" as my Android phone just arrived. As a denizen of the Apple ecosystem since 2008 it will be interesting to see how it progresses and whether or not it will have any bearing on my fitness. Probably not, but I will squawk about it occasionally as a respite from my blathering.

Today:
-In 15:00 to set a heavy 1rep snatch for the day, hit 165, FL170x2.
-3x3 presses & 4 push presses: 95, 115, 125
-3x15 good mornings @95lbs
-in 15:00, complete as much as possible of: 3 power snatch, 6 chest to bar, 9 target burpees, 6-9-12 same, 9-12-15, 12-15-18, 15-18-21
Made it to 11 of the last set of burpees.
