Lucky 7
Yesterday's Squat Snatch/Pull Up WOD smoked my posterior chain. At least, I hope that's my excuse. I had planned to do a max DL today, but getting 215 off the ground felt really hard. I hope I haven't lost 30# on my 1RM deadlift in less than a month....
My brother had trouble deadlifting today, too, and we worked out together yesterday. I'm sure that we are just more smoked from that workout than we'd like to admit...
Buy In: Burgener Warm-Up, once with PVC, once with 15kg bar
Deadlift 3-3-2-2-1-1-1
185-205-215x1 hahaha, riiiiiight
Push Press 7-7-7
75-85-95
Stoked with the push press numbers. My goal was originally 85#, but after seeing my friend Lauren hit 95# yesterday, I decided I should give it a shot. I also wasn't sure how heavy I should go, what with my rib and all, but it didn't really hurt more to do 95# than it did the 45# bar.
And, great news! My rib feels 90% better. I'd like to thank Travis Irish, DC, the wonderful local chiropractor who tortured, errrr, I mean fixed me yesterday. He's an amazing chiropractor and worth his weight in gold. When I woke up this morning I was reeeaaaalllly sore, but he had warned me that I would be. I thought maybe I had back-slid a bit and was worried that I wasn't getting better.
But then, this afternoon, I didn't even realize my rib wasn't hurting until one of my athletes who was arriving for the 4:30 class, asked me how I was doing. Fine, actually! I didn't even notice! It's funny how much we take normal life for granted...

Great news that you're feeling better, Jenna. Right on schedule. TIme for a couple more workouts and then a taper.
We keep ending up on the same page with our workouts. I hit the mid-Atlantic snatch WOD last night. Took it easy to protect my shoulder and was a few minutes slower than you, but still it went well. Managed to catch all the snatches in a full squat, which was cool, even if it's a sure sign I was sandbagging. That was fun.
Glad you are feeling better... you are going to kick major ASS at your regionals! I can't WAIT to see how you do!!!
I'm going to use your time on that snatch fran workout and see if I can bust my ass to catch you! I'm on the injured list as well, so will let you know how it goes as soon as I'm cleared to lift again. =o)
