Heavy Day

Tuesday at the gym was a heavy day. I was fresh from a rest day Monday and was excited to test myself.

the WOD:
Clean, Push-Press, Push-Jerk, Split-Jerk

1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

complete the entire series without dropping the weight increasing weight each round.


I have not done most of these to failure so I was unsure where I could go. It looked like this:

R1: 95#s
R2: 115#s
R3: 135#s
R4: 155#s
R5: 175#s (push press is tough)
R6: 185#s PR (push press is ugly)
R7: 195#s Failed (was not able to push press and dropped the weight)
R8: 195#s Failed " "
R9: 195#s No push press. PR clean, and jerks (shaky on the the jerks)
R10: 205#s: Fail (could not clean)

I had never done this much weight on most of these so I was happy but I know I had a lot more in me. 205 is not far away.

On a less encouraging note my diet has been mediocre. I am staying close to the zone but have a tenancy to screw it up a little around lunch time. It does not help that my office if full of great tasting (not good for you) foods and the girl friend is celebrating a successful first semester of grad school. Those are not excuses my will power is just not up to these challenges just yet but I am still on the bus, I may be hanging from the bumper but I'm on the bus. I will survive the holidays!
