New Year's Resolutions

Not my Resolution, but every one elses. There were so many people in the gym on Monday it was ridiculous!! I could barely get a spot let alone hold that spot for my workout. Crazy!!!

Any way, Monday's WOD for me was as follows:
Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3 reps
My goal, obviously, was to better my 3rep max, last time was 205 this time
185-195-205-215-225
I'll tell you what I was excited, my form one the last 2reps of the last set were not the best form, however, I was able to manage 3reps at 225. Two 45's on each end of the bar looks pretty cool!!

Today's WOD
Hang power clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
An Olympic lift that I need much practice on.
95-115-125-125-115-95-95
Pretty poor if you ask me, but I am not too put out by it. I know I need to work on my form and once I get it down the rest will fall into place. I have good form and quickness with 95 and 115 pounds, any heavier I am unable to perform without poor form. My upper trapezius are also not strong enough to pull that kind of weight right now. I ended today practicing the lift with low weight and trying to nail the technique for future attempts.

After this week I am going to try a new frequency of when I perform the WOD's. Friday is my B-day and Melissa has something planned so I will not be able to go to the gym on Saturday. Here is what I am going to start doing. The main site suggests you do a frequency of 3days on and 1day off and just keep rotating. I choose not to go to the gym on Sundays so that does not fit into my schedule as I will always fall behind. So, what I am going to start as of 01-12-09 is 2days on 1day off 3days on. That would mean my off days will always be Wednesday and Sunday with the option to have Thursday off if I choose the 3on-1off-2on instead secondary to scheduling conflict. The reason for this as I am beginning to feel as I can tolerate the WODs more I am running my self down on days 4 and 5 and am unable to give it my all at times. This will allow me to get the rest I need to always BRING IT!!! each and every time I step foot in the gym.
