Second WOD with a PR, and being RX. I could really get used to this... it's a pretty darn good feeling. I don't have a whole lot of time, I need to get some of that highly valued sleep I'm always ranting about. The WOD today was bench press for a max set of 5, which I hadn't done before...so really, PR sounds a bit presumptuous....at the same time, the weight I used was just 20lbs shy of the last PR I have written down. :D Me thinks I'll smash that one too. Actually, I know I will. EST seems to be on a simple strength cycle. 5 rep max of both the squats, and the bench, and there are other things that I wasn't able to get to this week... So I wouldn't be surprised to see it drop to 4 next week. In those famous Bart Scott words, CANT WAIT.
The METCON was also pretty simple. Not easy, but simple. On a two minute running clock (2 minutes work, 2 minutes rest) we were doing a 300m row and 95lb power snatch. 4 rounds. I was a bit lazy tonight, I left my "in the back" with other newer people, so I'd have a 5 second walk to it, a chance to catch my breath... needed it. Went 5-4-4-4 for my reps... Probably could have done it as 6-5-5-5 had it been closer. Though, saying all of that, I'll say that my scap/rhomboid shoulder issue is better...but still was an issue when I arrived. That and my shoulder (on the outside... like where shoulder pads would be), felt a bit funny with the snatches, like maybe it was a bit too much weight to do... *shrug* No idea.
Parting thoughts, someone suggested I go to an upcoming comp... I'm juggling the idea. Might be worth trying...but to be honest, I want to win...or be top 10, and I don't feel I'm close. Maybe when I'm nearer the top of the box on regular WODs.
Other though, I'm looking at getting my body fat and everything measured in a Bod Pod. This isn't the place, but it's a link to what I'm looking at. http://www.nifs.org/fitness-center/fitness-assessments/bodpod I'm getting a blood draw tomorrow, so I'll hop on the scale and see what my latest transgressions have earned me. I'm expecting a small loss...and I'll take that as a slap in the face... like a wake up signal... time to get back on track cupcake.
