Catching Up on My Workouts

Thur 7/16

Hang power clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

I don't recall what I did since I was on vacation and don't have the equipment. I believe this was the walk 6 miles with my wife and lay around the house workout

Fri 7/17

Friday 090717
30 Muscle-ups for time
Post time to comments.
If you cannot do the muscle-ups do 120 pull-ups and 120 dips.

I did the latter...I did not time myself because I thought I would not make the entire amount. I think it took me about 20-25 minutes and I did sets of four each. They were assisted since I cannot kip on my home setup. But I got it done!

Sat 7/18

Rest - walked 6 miles with my wife in the morning and ran a 5K (Retro Run) that evening. Time was around 29 minutes. I was carrying my camera and I would stop and take pics along the route.

Sun 7/19

For time:
50 Box jump, 24 inch box (20 inch on stairs); 50 Jumping pull-ups; 50 Kettlebell swings, 1 pood (25#); Walking Lunge, 50 steps; 50 Knees to elbows (roman chair); 50 Push press, 45 pounds (30#); 50 Back extensions (good mornings with 10#); 50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball (thrusters with one 15# dumbell); 50 Burpees; 50 Double unders (one unders)

Burpees just plain suck. Those hurt the most.

Time was 29:40 and this was after trimming hedges for 5 hours...

Mon 7/20

Run 5k - did this on Sat and took day off

Tue 7/21

Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps - no equipment for DL - ran 5 miles instead ~45 min

Wed 7/22

Rest

Thu 7/23

DT

Five rounds for time of:
155 pound Deadlift (100#), 12 reps
155 pound Hang power clean (80#), 9 reps
155 pound Push jerk (70#), 6 reps

Did this with dumbells at work...not quite the same. Seems to be more difficult with dumbells than barbell.

Time 16:42

RIP Darrell "Shifty" Powers

A genuine war hero, an average man that represented the best America had to offer in her greatest time of need. No big record deals, no screaming fans, no over priced house, just an ordinary man that lived through an extraordinary experience.

Shifty died on June 17 after fighting cancer.

There was no parade.

No big event in Staples Center.

No wall to wall back to back 24x7 news coverage.

No weeping fans on television.

I Suck at OHS

Wed WOD

OHS - overhead squats....I cannot do them with any amount of weight. I tried dumbells since I don't have an olympic bar...no can do. I ended up doing the workout with a broomstick.

"Nancy"

5 rounds for time of:

Tuesday was a rest day

Monday

Thruster 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
