Nice work

Youve got multiple goals going on at once, right?

[erosewater]

yeah, took some time off from lifting for playing lots of sports, and wanted to see if I'd lost anything but was able to put up more than ever. A bunch of pushups helped.

My goals all revolve around being better at the sports I play, so running faster, jumping higher, more explosive, don't get hurt

running workout this morning:

8 rounds, run 400m then rest 90 sec.

goals:
run all at <1:50.
run last 4 at < first 4.

I have a small lap in my neighborhood that is measured at 400 m for each of 2 legs (A and B) by gmap-pedometer.com, but I invariably run the B legs faster, I think they're a little shorter.

Leg:time

A: 1:50
B: 1:43
B: 1:42
A: 1:50
A: 1:45
B: 1:39
B: 1:38
A: 1:43

goal 1: all under 1:50. CHECK
goal 2: last 4 faster than first 4. CHECK

Goodness gracious almighty. You are way stronger than you thought you were!

Switched to mixed grip/over-under. Also doing singles rep sets helped too.

this week I'll do some benchmark workouts from Crossfit and post them here; in 3-4 months I'll do some more and compare.

first: Isabel - 30 snatch, scaled to 95#, for time: 2:36
then 10 minute rest,
then: Grace - 30 clean & jerk, scaled to 115#, for time: 4:08

I think these were the right weights today, as I felt totally gassed after each one, despite the rest I did take in between. Sets were as follows. I: 10-10-10; G-10-5-5-5-5. Had to take the rest and breathe and re-chalk my hands, I was sweating so much. I feel really worked out right now.
