Out with 2014, here comes 2015!

Dec 21
A.    Snatch Drop                 Practice 10-12 Minutes between 75-90#
Stayed with 65# as my technique broke down with anything heavier

B.    Deadlift                Build up to a heavy single that shortens you-Max 12 Minutes
240 with pronated grip , did not shorten, attempted 250 several times with a mixed grip and could not move it at all, did not shorten. I felt super fatigued from the 240 lift. 
I have Deadlifted 245 with a pronated grip before, so actually not a PR.

C.    Airdyne                10 Minutes (Calories)
135 cals - exactly the same as over 2 years ago? weird, short after but not a lot. I didn't even know what I had gotten before until after I finished the test. Was holding back a little because I didn't want to feel totally wrecked. 

Today's Positive - Snatch drop technique better with faster elbows punching up

Day 2 dec 22
A.    Jerk Double (from blocks)        Max 15 MInutes (keep it challenging weight, but get more practice with ~85% weights with new foot forward)
135x2 for 4-5 sets ( this is about 85% considering my max split jerk with new foot forward) 

B.    Clean Triple (from low blocks)    Max 12 Minutes
165#x3, PR

C.    20 Minute AMRAP (goal is steady movement, not to shorten very much and to recovery quickly)
Axle Overhead Carry        65 x 100 Meters ( did 80m instead inside gym for simplicity)
Continental Clean            65 x 10
Ski Urg                x 300 meters
4 rounds+ carry + 2 cont clns.
Moved steady 

Today's positive- felt a new technique thing (driving with legs) today in the Jerk , so excited for th clean triple PR , felt solid

Day 3 dec 23
A.    Back Squat                145# in 90 seconds (20RM)
20 in 60s not short
155#-19 in 90s short

150# with a press out left elbow , clean felt good but jerk was not there so stopped 

Did not have time or energy for C or D today. 
C.    1-arm Farmer Carry            BW    in 30 Seconds (6RM) Max 10 Minutes Alternating Sides
    no mental energy for this after the lifting today
D.    Do Something Awesome: Not For Time

Realized too late that I was not mentally or physically prepared for this training day. It was at the end of a full day of work and my energy was low going into it. I need to recognize that and check myself and just call it a day sooner because when I don't I end up frustrated like today with my performance. 


New Year's Eve - Dec 31st
First attempt at 
Heavy Fran 
15-12-9
Thrusters 135#/95#
WTD pull ups 45#/25#

Thrusters felt easy, pull ups hard and slow toward end. 
Worked well to just place the DB between my feet.
