Volume day 2

These upper body volume WODs are beating my ass.

Warmed up, pulled by foot out of the strap on my row to learn how to stay on my heel.  That feels good.

Did one legged deadlifts, it sucked, my form sucked, the movement sucks.  I pulled triples, from 65# to 125#.

Then did ring push ups, 8 on the minute for 16 of 20, 6 on the minute for the last 4 minutes.

20120517

Volume training

So... another workout with the gimp foot.

Warmed up with some basics.  Included three max handstand holds against wall on paralletes.

Did seated barbell presses first. 5 at 80, 3 at 95, 3 at 105, 2 at 115 and 2 at 125.  Seated bb presses suck on a flat bench, stabilizing was difficult to do and I felt like I was going to pitch back over as I locked out.  Not a great feeling so I knocked off.

For a WOD I am going with Volume Training from an article by coach Brian Wilson of PCF.  Starting with muscle ups (admittedly a strength, but F it).  Two muscle ups on the minute for 20 minutes.  Last set or two was a bit wild and sketchy, but then so am I.

Back

The gym beckons with its sweet Siren song once again.

"I know your foot is broken", she says, "It doesn't matter--you need to train. I won't hurt you anymore."

She lies.  The bitch lies.

Got back in the gym today after a week off.

To warm up:
2 rounds of 10 parrallette push ups, deadhang pull ups
2 attempts at pistols on the good foot.
Mobility for ~10 minutes.

Strength:
Tried to do bulgarian split squats--no go with the boot on.
Standing alternating db presses 3 sets 5 per arm @ 35lbs
One armed KB row 8 per arm @35lbs, 44lbs and 53lbs

Conditioning:
Tabata some broken foot.

4 rounds each
tabata pull ups
"   "   push ups
"   "   sit ups

Laughable scores.

3x10 hug-a-twinkies on the GHD and out.

Second and third metatarsals of my left foot look marbled on the xrays.

Taking a full week off.

20120507

Over training and over reaching

Hands torn.

Tired and listless.

Flu-like symptoms.

Time for a week off.
