AnLE sets
April 30
In 10 mins build to a tough Turkish get up
+
AnLE1/2 -
4 sets @ 85% of:
2 min AMRAP
3 Thrusters (75#)
3 CTBs
rest 14 mins between sets
(Rest 15 mins between blocks)
4 sets @ 85% of:
800m run
rest 14 mins between sets
Results:
I ended up resting April 30 because I had a long work day and I was just tired. I did do the Turkish Get up on April 30 and got to 45# on both sides. So I completed the first part on May 1 and did not have time to do the runs.
I did not get a count of rounds on my first set.
Set 2 was 5 rounds
Set 3 was 5 rounds
Set 4 was 5 rounds + 3 Thrusters
The 75# thrusters weren't so bad.

A. BB NG high pull @ 3011 5 reps x 5, rest 3 mins
B. RDLs @ 3011 6-8 reps x 3, rest 3 mins
C. Bench Press @ 30X1 2-3 reps x 4, rest 3 mins
D. Accumulate 5 min FLR on rings - perform light KB windmills 5 per side at each break
+
PM -
20 min EMOM :
Odd - 2 Squat Snatch (70-90#)
Even - 2 Muscle ups (1 burpee Muscle up)
Results:
AM:
A. 55, 60, 65, 70, 70 all x 5 - very difficult on the last rep of last 2 sets
B. 175x8 clean grip, 185x8 (mixed grip), 195x8 (mixed grip other direction)
C. I decided to forgo the bench press today for 2 reasons - last monday I strained the right pec and coracobrachialis, a week later it is still a bit sore and my goal for a 1 RM bench press is 132 based on my current BS, last monday I did 115x4 which approximates a 132x1. I may add in bench press from time to time still just as a touch.
D. Completed in sets of 1:30, 1:30, 1:15, 45s - used 10-15# KB for windmills mostly for scapular mobility.
then warmed up to do EMOM and was hungry and missed 85# several times while warming up so I shut it down
PM:
Completed EMOM with 1 Squat Snatch and 1 MU instead just to take some volume out to focus on good technique the whole time. I don't have any video but my form on both felt great - no misses on anything! These were actually squat snatches too, not PS to OHS! The bar felt closer and my pull under was more confident. On MUs I felt like I pulling so much higher on the rings and therefore did not need to crank one shoulder through and then the other. I think the chest to rings on saturday helped to cue that for me.

B2. so I did 15#x3 and then decided to switch to wtd CTBs and tried 15#x3 with a wide grip and did not touch bar, then 9#x3 wide grip and did not touch bar, after a brief conversation with Corey I moved grip in and was able to touch CTB with 9#x3 - Learning - over time I will work to increase wide grip pulling strength for transferring to butterfly CTBs
C. 1 min, 1min, 40s, 40s, 40s - right off the bat I tried 20# to 10ft and did not hit target. Shanna suggested I use the 16# which I did all sets of 5 UB and then ended with a set of 5 UB with 20#. Geez the 20# to 10ft is hard!!

Gymnastics skill work of your choice
Results:
Amber and I decided to row by feel looking at the watts instead of pace today. I kept the 85% pace between 170-190 and the 50% around 65, averaged out to 110 in 20 mins. Total meters rowed was 4100. S/M was 29.
Then worked on bar muscle ups and handstand holds on wall. Right shoulder has been irritated since tuesday afternoon I think from monday's high pull and maybe bench press.

20 MUs for Time + Map
April 20
We decided to try one of Shanna and Kate's workouts today, which was:
For time:
20 muscle ups
(perform 3 Hang Power Cleans RX135#, each time you drop from rings)
+
Map
2 sets of 5 mins@ 80-90%, do 1 min each for reps:
KBS 1 pd
Wall walks
DUs
Box Jump/Step down
1 arm Farmer Carry
rest 3 mins between sets
then,
2 sets of 5 min Amrap @ 80-90%:
1 arm DB Snatch 3 per arm
10 walking lunges
5-7 pull ups
Run 30mx2
rest 3 mins between sets
Results:
MU/HPC workout was 11:09, scaled HPCs @ 115#
Could have pushed harder on time but was conservative on breaks between rings and bar since I did not want to get near failure for either
MUs were - 5, 5, 4, 3, 3
HPCs were UB but not TnG
We changed the Map due to timing to 2 10 min amraps instead. I did not could reps or rounds. Farmer Carry was harder than expected, I used 45# and it felt like I was collapsing the space between upper arm and ribcage. Left side low back was a bit irritated today from my form on yesterday's snatch high pulls, not horrible but annoying.
I took Cedar for a short hike this afternoon as a trial run with her backpack. She was not very happy when I put it on her when we left home. On the walk she go used to it. I will be adding more weight to it over the next couple of weeks to get her ready for an overnight backpacking trip this summer.

Sunday Rest day

Rest day
if you feel motivated do yoga, hike, easy swim, bouldering
I did yoga with Angela over at CFA this morning and then Cedar and I went for a hike in Bent Creek. This was my first hiking day of the year with my five fingers on and boy does it feel good!

Z1 + 3 min AD, then Rest!!
April 11
30 mins of Z1 on the AD or rower, early morning and fasted if possible. Please watch your watts on the AD or rower and get an idea of what your average is for Z1 effort.
+
If you are feeling it, please do a 3 min AD tester for me. I would like for you to know what your average watts is - in other words - watch you watts and see where the watts peak is and record that number. We will need it for next weeks Map 1 day. Calories for this test do not matter as much as the watts but are helpful.
Then rest of day off and be ready for BIG strength day tomorrow - we will do Backsquat, Shoulder Press, Single arm pull, GHDs, single leg and an EMOM with deadlifts and ring dips
Results:
Z1 AD for 20 mins at 5am before coaching, got a total of 170 cals. The main watt readings were 135, 121, 114, 108. I seemed to hang out most at 114.
Did the 3 min AD test at 10am. I am not too sure how to interpret the data. My total cals was 55, which I think is a PR, my average watts was 273. The highest watts I saw at the beginning was 472 but that only lasted for about 20 secs, the lowest reading was around 200. It seemed as though I was around 220-230 for a majority of it. So I think I will take 260 watts and use that as my 85% on next weeks 30 on/ 30 rest and see how that goes.

Base 85% pace on slightly faster than your average 2K row pace.
Today's workout is all about building Aerobic capacity, if you don't have a 2K row pace to base off then go at 85% of what you can sustain for the 30 mins, this is should be faster than Z1.
Results:
My goal was to hold slightly faster than 2:09 pace for my 85%, I averaged about 2:05. I did not set a specific pace for the 50% but should in the future. Total meters 6500.
As skill work I did:
20 EMOM
Odd- 3 Power Snatch
Even - 30 Double Unders
went from 55-70# on PS and only had 1 trip on the DU's
Good workout!

Post Open - Day 1 of Programming - Accumulation Phase
Start of my programming now that the CF Open is over. Glad I participated in the CF Open again this year. I felt as though I made some improvements over last year. Specifically Snatching 100# in 13.1 and 3 more muscle ups in 13.3. However as a petite CFer I just need to get stronger. So here begins a long off season of getting 'huge' and putting in hard work and volume.
Accumulation cycle goal- strength gains and increase aerobic capacity base (1 month)
General plan -
Monday - CP + Skill & Volume EMOM
Tuesday - AM- AnAer work - mixed mode PM- recovery
Weds - Map 1 monostructural
Thursday - rest OR easy flow recovery day (fast Z1 early morning 20-30 mins Row or AD - optional)
Friday - CP + Skill & Volume EMOM
Sat - Longer Map work
Sun - rest or light yoga, swim, hike, boulder
*Normally this would be a monday workout day but due to the River Ruckus on a sunday, Day 1 monday will be a rest day and this CP + EMOM workout will be completed on tuesday April 9. So for this week we will skip the Tues AnAer work
A1. 1 arm DB High Pulls - 12-20 reps @ 2020 x 3 sets, rest 30s
A2. RDL - 8-12 reps @ 3011 x 3 sets, rest 2 mins
B. WG Bench Press - 6-8 reps @ 30x1 x 4 sets, rest 2 mins
C. EMOM for 16 mins: Odd- complete 3 Thrusters TnG, Even - 3-5 strict T2B - use 50-70% of 1 rm thruster
Results:
A1. 15#x20, 20#x20, 15#x20
A2. 115, 125, 135 all x 12 - was definately taking it easy for my right hamstring which I strained on sunday
B. 75,85,95, 105 all x 8
C. used 65# for 4 sets, then 75 for 4 sets on thrusters, 5 T2B each set
As
a woman I ended up ranked 199th place in the Midatlantic region out of
2343 women who finished the Open 5 events, which is within the top 10%
of the region. I would have to be top within top 48 women in the region
to advance to regionals.
In the world my rank is 2260th place out of 27,816 women which is also within the top 10% in the world.
Our team ended up 35th place in MidAtlantic out of 230 teams, which just keeps us out of top 30 to advance to regionals.

River Ruckus
Sunday April 7th Garage Games River Ruckus Team event
This past weekend my team and co-coaches at Crossfit Asheville and I participated in a garage games team comp here in Asheville (4 of us). The first one ever to be hosted in town. We did great all day and did 3 events and technically were ranked #3 going into the Championship event (top 8 advanced) but there was a scoring mistake which placed us in 14th!!? We found all this out after the championship event and were really disappointed. We talked to the organizer and he felt REALLY bad. He gave us a chance to do the wod and compare out times to the 1st,2nd,and 3rd place times but by then we had lost out steam, were cooled down, the weights were being packed up and the spectators were leaving so we decided not to do it. Really disappointing because our team had been training together since Dec '12 and we were crushing it all day. We were the hometown favorite, about 30-40 members from our gym had come out to watch and support. Our learning in the end was that because we were all dumbfounded when we were not called in the top 8 , was that we should have said something sooner to the organizers. Oh well. We also felt validated in realizing we didn't suck as bad as we thought we did when they read out the "top 8" teams and we were absent. Live and learn, onward!

I am convinced that you need to have some proficiency with butterfly style CTBs to beat the 4 min time cap. Starting round 3 really hurt. My plan was to go all out and not pace in order to shoot for as close to 90 reps as possible.
