Tired

Tuesday
Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
185, 205, 225, 235, 245, 255(f), 250(f), 245
All I can say is that I am stuck at 245 for deadlifts.

Wednesday
Five rounds for max reps of:
Body weight bench press 11, 11, 9, 9, 9
Pull-ups chest to bar 17, 17, 17, 15, 15
Body weight back squat 10, 10, 10, 10, 11
Total of 180. This was surprisingly harder and more taxing then some of the MetCons I have done. The squats were more about the respiratory volume after the pullups than strength in my legs. I did this with Tommy. The rests between exercises were about 1min and the rest between rounds was ~5min.

Today
For time:
135 lb Squat clean, 10 reps
50 GHD Sit-ups
135 lb Squat clean, 8 reps
40 GHD Sit-ups
135 lb Squat clean, 6 reps
30 GHD Sit-ups
135 lb Squat clean, 4 reps
20 GHD Sit-ups
135 lb Squat clean, 2 reps
10 GHD Sit-ups
Time was 20:17 I do not have GHD or access to one so I subbed Knees to Elbows. Not quite the same, however, it got the job done. I am still excited that I am able to use 135 for squat cleans and do not have to scale, however, it does take me much longer in the WOD. I can string together the first 5-6 on the first round after that they are in 1s. It is also frustrating not being able to ditch the weight from the front rack position. I have to expend the energy to lower it to the ground or get yelled at by the so called trainers at the gym whose clients are not even breaking a sweat. (Sorry for the soap box). Bumpers could not come soon enough.
Tomorrow is "Angie" this will have to be after I work at SJHMC. Last time was 18:54, we will see what happens.

Tomorrow is supposed to be Fight Gone Bad IV. I will not be able to participate in this event tomorrow secondary to working and time restraints with family after work. So "Annie" it is.
