Thursday 9.15.11

Warm Up:
- Joint mobility.  My gymnastics warm ups have not been happening as much as I'd like this week.  I gotta get back to the basics!

SWOD:
Overhead Squat
- Warm Up Sets:  50x5, 140x3, 230x1
- Work Sets:  280x1, 255x3 (PR!), 230x5
Bench Press
- Warm Up Sets:  45x5, 135x4, 225x3, 315x2, 356x1
- Work Sets:  325x3, 290x5, 255x10

Metcon:
4 rounds for reps of:
- Max Reps of Push Press @ 155 lbs
- Matching number of reps of 24" box jumps
- 2:00 rest between rounds
Score:  I did sets of 18, 15, 15, and 13 push presses, which is 64 total. 

Craig and I started off with a lofty goal of 100 reps.  After the first set it was dropped to a more realistic goal of just getting double digits every round!  This WOD was a good example of how to be intense without a "for time" of "AMRAP" element.  I felt pretty good today despite the fact that I didn't take my usual rest day yesterday.  I'll see how I'm feeling by Saturday's strrongman workout though!
