Free for a Month

Spring semester is finished and I'm free until June 4th. I finished with an A and  B, I'm really happy with that since A&P is a pretty difficult course. I'll be taking the second half of that class this summer in an 8 week class, so it's going to be tough! But I'm ready for it. After my brain was fried from a 200 question final Monday night, I headed to the gym.

Our Strength and Wod were combined, and this is what it was:
Push Press 5-5-5+
Jerk 3-3-3-3-3 (work up to a have triple)
PP: 85-95-105(10 reps - i think?)
95-105-115-125-130

Haven't worked push press in awhile, so I wasn't really sure how accurate my 125 srm was. But I went with it anyway. Last few reps on the 5+ set were kind of ugly and I felt it in my back. Definitely didn't keep my core tight enough.

Wasn't sure how far to push it with the Jerks since I just got 145 a few weeks ago as my srm. And my arms were a little tired from the PP. But 125 felt pretty good and I felt like I could go up a few more pounds. The last rep at 130 I came out front, so I had B clean it and I repeated that rep. But I felt good overall.

Tuesday

Strength: Back Squat 5-5-5+ (base #s off 90% of TM. TM=176)
115-132-150(7)

I was a little delayed in starting my strength as I was talking to someone about the gym, so I had to rush through these sets. Hips are tight as usual, mom helped me with some stretching after. Gonna try to do that every day and see how that helps.

WOD:
3 Rounds for time of:
400m Row
10 Push ups
400m run
10 Pull ups
16:31

I actually underestimated this one. I forgot that the reps of 10 would be rather quick, so this would be more of a cardio workout. Which is something I needed. My pull-ups have been struggling lately, but I've added in extra work on dead hangs again, so they improved during this one. The first set was unbroken, second was 5-3-1-1, third was 5-2-2-1. I was pretty stoked with my first set, so I was hoping to do the same for the last two rounds. I fell short, but there's improvement. The row and push-ups gassed my quads like no other, so that slowed down my runs. However, I'm glad I finished this around 16.5 min!
