Another great day with great friends. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to meet some of the people that I have met over the past week. Coach Josh may possibly be the best pure weightlifting coach I have ever had in my life- this includes my years playing college football. Last night I learned more about the squat in 45 minutes that I have learned in my 24 years of existence. I am very excited to see where this will take me.
Strength:
5x3 split jerk
205, 215, 225, 245, 255 (2)
I have never done multiple reps at a heavy weight on jerk, I have only done 1 rep sets. I feel like the hardest part of the lift was lowering the weight back to your chest. I would feel great on the first rep, then struggle on 2 and 3- something I will have to practice. My form has improved drastically with just 3 days of coaching, and I feel like everything Josh said has clicked.
WOD:
100 burpees for time
YUCK!!!!! I hate burpees and feel like I am pretty slow at them, but actually this wasn't as bad as I thought. I started out at a nice smooth pace and was at 23 after the first minute. My weakness is to just stop even though I could keep moving, and I did that a couple times around #37, #50, #75, and #90 (why 90, no freaking idea...I had 10 more- GO!!!!) Anyway, finished in 6:16. In the 7 minutes of burpees during the open, I got 93, so this was a hug improvement on something that I never practice. Tiffany absolutely shattered her record with finishing in 6:55.
Extra:
4x400m run
3min rest in between
I kept them all about the same speed- the legs were pretty tired from the lunges the day before and the burpees. 1:24, 1:27, 1:32, 1:23.
