I don't think it was a good idea to go to the gym this morning. I had my first soccer game of the season last night from 10-11pm, so I got home at 11:30 and couldn't fall asleep until after 1. I barely got up on time but I did drag myself there.
Strength:
5 Rounds of:
2 Split Jerks at 70-75%
Rest 90 secs
5 Front Squats at same weight ^
Rest 90 secs
Then 4-4-4-4 Deficit Deadlifts
I worked at 70%, which was 175lbs for me. Jerks were alright and I got to work on some technique. Common comment from coach Howard was to bend my back leg and I will have to keep practicing that. The front squats felt tough this morning, but I blame that partially on my sore legs from running around late last night. I forewent the deadlifts because my legs were already dead and I saw that the WOD was not going to be foregiving.
WOD:
8 min AMRAP
Ascending ladder 2-4-6-8-10-12 etc. of:
Squat Cleans 135lbs
Burpees
So this WOD is basically get as far up the ladder as you can in 8 minutes. I knew it was going to be painful, as just the volume of squat cleans alone is tough. I managed to keep pace quite well with Botch, he was just a couple of reps ahead of me. I finished the round of 10 and got 7 squat cleans in the next. The squat cleans were not easy, from start to end. As time elapsed, I found myself doing singles just from being tired of squatting the weight. The burpees were no fun at all but I kept a slow and steady mentality for those. Overall, not the most fun WOD ever but I think I could have gotten a much better score if I had gotten an appropriate amount of sleep last night.
Not sure what the future plan will be for Monday mornings. Tough to workout after playing late at night and I want to go 100% if I'm going to be at the gym or else it's just wasting time.
