Saturday 22 Sep 12

Morning:  DC Weightlifting Club

Snatch 5 x 1 @ 80%

55kg, 55kg, 55kg, 60kg, 60kg

Press 3 x 5 @ 125#

EMOTM for 12 minutes of:

2 snatch high-pulls @ 45kg

Chest-to-bar pull-ups 3 x 15

Notes:  Awesome morning sesssion.  I was feeling good at 80% (55kg), so I decided to take my last two attempts at 60kg.  I felt very good at this weight.  Can still feel that I'm pulling the bar around my knees at the start, but the only thing that will fix that problem is better mobility.  Used a "suicide" grip on press, and it helped get my hands/wrists into a better pressing position.  High-pulls are a real burner toward the later rounds.  Focused on keeping the bar in close and initiating the third pull.  Volume is building on pull-ups.   

Afternoon:  Van Ness Hill

10 x 30 second hill sprints
Rest 30 seconds at top of hill
Descend hill easy
Rest 1 minute at bottom of hill


Notes:  This absolutely destroyed me.  I had trouble driving home.  I timed myself at 28 seconds on the first sprint.  By they seventh sprint, I had dropped all the way to 37 seconds.  My legs just wouldn't turn over at the top of the hill.  My stamina is terrible right now.  Anyways, it was great pure conditioning, and clearly something I need to do more of.
