the DOOM WORKOUT

[Harry_Manback]

Went to a regular gym with a friend (also from CrossFit). We did somewhat of a StrongLifts kind of thing. 5x5 for Squats, Pendlay Rows, Strict Press, and Bench Press. Not a bad day.

I mixed front and back squats at 135#, 185#, 185#, 195#, 195#.
Pendlay Rows at 135#, 155#, 165#, 165#, 165#.
Strict Press at 95#, 115#, 95#, 115#, 95#
Bench Press (first time I ever did that) at 95# 95# 115# 115# 125#

Those are really close to my current numbers. Nice job once again.

My whole fucking body is sore today. Think I'm going to deload 10% on the squats and take another run at it.

Back squats: 135#, 185#, 205# 5x5
OHP: 110#, 110#, 110#, 105#, 105# (These are killing me. Rechecked my form on based on the Rippetoe video on the first page.) THANKS VID!
Bench: 215#, 215#, 205#, 205#, 205# (may deload on these too)
Pendlay Row: 155# 5x5
Deadlift: 135#, 225#, 280# 1x5 (fuck yeah)
Pullups: 13, 10

I love this thread. GET IT DONE LOUIS.

strict press does suck. If I tried to do more than 115# I would suck it hard.

Fucking flu has been keeping me out of the gym. Haven't been in nine days. Sucks.
I should be back at it tomorrow, though.

give me snatch and clean any day over strict press

[Harry_Manback]

I'd like to learn snatch and clean but I'm afraid of looking like a douche and dropping the bar on my head. I feel like that's one lift where I really need someone to show me what's up.

Clean is not too bad to learn at first. Snatch is the one that I found extremely difficult. But I did have a coach with me. I have my competition on Saturday. Heres hoping I can recover enough to do well. Trying to battle pain in my right wrist which sucks when I have to lock out a snatch. That amongst other things.

Totally...I need someone to coach me on the snatch. Yeah, I just said that.

Good luck with the competition, Nick. Keep us posted.

yea catching it in a full overhead squat. Of course at first most people just power that shit up since the weight is low

[D.o.S.]

Yeah fuck that.

Planking, however, is mad addictive. Waiting for the kettle? Plank. Waiting for laundry? Plank. Waiting for the man? Plank.

[new05002]

It's ok. Snatch is for us real men

Ba duum cha

reps for jesus!

[new05002]

Comp over.
Snatch: 155# max. I just couldnt get the 165#. I had it at the bottom of the squat and lost it 4 times

[AngryGoldfish]

You'll get it soon enough. It doesn't take long to hit new plateaus when you're working hard like you are.

As of now I ended up in 40th nationwide out of 62. Not a super great showing but a fun competition nonetheless.
