"Nutts" and "DT"

Holy soreness, Batman. Ever since the Hero WOD "Nutts" on Friday, I've been super sore. I haven't been this sore in long time. Trying to determine if I need to eat more and have better PWO meal recovery or what. But sheesh this blows and I'm probably only going to be more sore after this weekend.

Friday 9/28
"Nutts"
10 HSPU (plate and ab mat)
15 Deadlifts 165#
25 Box Jumps 24"
50 Pull-ups
100 Wall Ball Shots 14#
200 Double Unders
400m Run with 35# plate

24:58

Absolutely awful!  The worst part of this was by far the double unders. Normally I can rock those out, but by the time I got to them, I was wrecked. The wall balls took me forever too, I was doing sets of 10 and I think the last 3 sets were sets of 5. It was just brutal. When I got to the double unders, I just started cramping all along my sides and in my stomach. I think my biggest set was maybe 30, all the rest were 10s. Then I started to pee at 100, so I really could only do sets of 10. Miserable I tell ya. Then the run, I just basically powered walked the first 200m, and ran the rest. Brutal wod for sure.

Saturday 9/29

Oly
7x2 cleans + 1 Jerk
Clean Pulls
and BB Bridges

The clean has definitely been a struggle for me in the last few months. I can't find that point in my hips to pop the bar off like I can with the snatch. I'm also trying to focus on catching the bar instead of letting it ride me down to the ground and get stuck.  It's definitely going to take some physical and mental training, but I'm getting there.

Endurance wod
10 x 200m with 90 sec rest between, try to keep runs within 2-3 sec of each other

Kept all of these within 49-51 seconds, with the exception of one at 55 where my shoe came untied. My calves were absolutely lit up from the night before, so these were hard. Think I could have been a little faster had it not been for that.

Tuesday 10/2

"DT"
5 Rounds FT:
12 Deadlifts 105#
9 Hang Power Cleans
6 Push Jerks

12:34

My goals with this were to stay unbroken as much as possible and finish around 12:00. I got the first round completely unbroken. Next two rounds the deadlifts were unbroken, but had to split up cleans and jerks a little. Fourth and fifth rounds were super hard. I got the first 3 rounds done around 6:30 and the last 2 took me 6 minutes. Ouch. Forearms and my back were lit!  But happy and this gives me something to work off of.

Front squats 5 x 3
I did 1 + 1/4 FS for these instead of the 5 x 5 regular.

Trying to work on engaging everything more and not butt wink at the bottom. LOTS of work to do here, but hopefully these will help!
