DT's Permanent Crossfit Log: lifting all the weight - Page 22

Achilles feels fine. Whatever. I need to find an ART dude to work on my calves though. PVC/foam/lax ball isn't cutting it.

4.16.2010
Clean and jerk
every 5 from 100 up to 135
missed 125 the first time through as I pulled it "wtf far" in front. 130 looked fine, at least for me. 135 jerk was a little shaky and felt meh so stopped there.

Squat
190
200
210x1 (tie PR)
220xfx2
215xf (lol level of tired)

210 felt good and fast so I went for 220. Un- and reloading 220 is my cardio for the week.

If you can, try to find someone who does both ART and Graston imo. That individual could do Graston on your achilles and ART on your calves.

ty.

4.19.2011

Squat (Week 7 of 5x5)
170x5x5
Easier than last week's 170. I was wrecked last week and really watched my protein and sleep this week. World of difference. Should be good for 174x5x5 next week.

Press (5/3/1 week 2)
59x3
68x3
76x3+(6, left 1-2 in tank)
Again easier than last week.

Ty I am trying to work hard after being a lazy POS this winter. I'm just back to where I was in november or so, which is frustrating but whatever. I have better "momentum" this time. I am not sure what that means, but it is true nonetheless.

Yes, I am 6'6" and have long arms for my size. I am equally naturally sized for oly as I am for the back seat of the clown car, gymnastics and cornerback.

Did some work earlier in the day where I moved some sandbags and some heavy ****, and I think it tired me out for my workout.

Snatch up to 100, 105xFx4
Pulled way high enough, locked out fine, just couldn't hold overhead for some reason. Lost 2 forward and 2 behind.

Clean and Jerk
Up to 130, 135xF Jerkx1

Squat
170 (last warmup), 192x1x2-3
Very tired, back felt weird and tired and these were grinders even though they weren't supposed to be so I just cut it after 2 or 3.

Snatch off blocks from knee
80x3x2
Easy, but outside of right forearm felt bad so I stopped short of more work and rolled it

Squat
174x5x5
Felt good. Last two reps were tiring. 178 next week should be doable.

Press
63x5
72x3
80x1+ (2) left one in the tank.

Lifting at my old gym this week so I will move up intensity day to thursday and probably do too much on wednesday. Oh well, fun to lift with people I know vs. alone in the garage.

Overhead squat
up to 90x2 (v easy, light)

Power clean
Up to 95x3
Again very easy, but my right forearm hurt again so I stopped early. It feels similar to how a shin splint feels along the bone. Just gonna take play this by ear and hope it goes away soon.

Squat
160x2
190x1
200x1
212x1 PR
216x1 PR
220xfx1

Felt pretty good considering the condensed workload this week. I was pretty tired for the 220 and not close. Happy for the relatively large 6kg PR.

Squat
180x5x5
**** yeah. Calf was a little sore, I was tired as **** and completing this made me feel good.

Press
Skipped due to R forearm still feeling bad. It was week 4 of 5/3/1 which was a deload anyway, so I'll just jump into it again next week.

No energy for anything else.
