Today was a good day!  I had a bit more energy!

There was no lift today but we did a WOD!

We did the following... (women's weight is listed)
5 Clean and Jerks 155#
Run 400m
10 Clean and Jerks 135#
Run 400m
15 Clean and Jerk 105#
Run 400m

I guess the WOD was a ground to shoulder to overhead, but I did not know that ahead of time so I did full squat cleans, which made it spicier!  Haha!  Oh well... I am an overachiever!

I also had acupuncture today which always makes me feel tons better!

Santa Cruz Strength Day Woo Hoo!

Today I only did oly lifting as my body is wrecked!  It was a little rough to start but I still had a blast!
We did it meet style where we worked up to our max snatch single and then after worked our way up to a max clean and jerk single.

I did pretty well!  I really wanted to PR my snatch again, but it did not happen today.  This week it will though!  Mark my words!!!  I will PR!

I went back to Royal today... my body is really fighting with me so I needed him to put it in check!

Sunday November 27th

Today was a bit of a rough one... I am super tired from the holidays and my birthday I think.  I didn't even stray from my diet, drink, party or stay out particularly late but I think the added hour or two of fun each night, combined with work wore me out a little!

Regardless, I did the following!

Deadlift
5.3.3.1.1.1

Then muscle up work of 2 unbroken muscle ups on the minute for 6 minutes

Then this WOD

3 rounds
50 squats
30 heavy kb swings
15 24in box jumps

This was a surprisingly difficult WOD!  May be from lack of energy, but those heavy kb swings took it out of me!  Later I got body work done with Royal, which was super rough but much needed!

My Pet Turkey

Thanksgiving!!!!

Today I attended and worked out with a Maxim class for the first time and it was so much fun!  The rest of my team took a rest day but I have to work all day long tomorrow for Black Friday so I wanted to WOD today and rest tomorrow!

We did all kinds of fun stuff including musical animal walks around the pull up structure!  Last one to jump on a bar and hang when the music stops has to do burpees!

The WOD was a partner WOD called My Pet Turkey.
One person worked while the other held heavy dumbbells or kbs in their hands!  So grippy!

100 Burpees
200 Sit ups
100 Wall Balls
50 Box Jumps
100 Push Ups
25 HSPU
100 Lunges
200 Squats

Super fun and everyone did so awesome!!!

Monday 11.21.11

Today was another fun day at Santa Cruz Strength!
We did the following:
Power Cleans!  I am not the greatest at these so we really worked at them.
We did 3 sets of 3 at increasing weight and then 5 sets of singles.
My form started to get wonky so I backed down on weight and worked my way back up again.  It felt better the second time up.

Following this we did Pause Jerks, 5 sets at increasing weight and then moved on to Jerk singles, increasing in weight.

Later I did
Back Squat 85% of last week 3x6
