Friday 8/12/11

Today was the first day of O-Lift Camp at Front Range CrossFit with Paul Fleschler!!! Paul used to be a resident coach for Olympic Lifting at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs...basically badass!!! It was an amazing day. I learned a lot about my lifting technique, and OBVIOUSLY have a lot to work on. It was a tough day, way harder than doing 2 CrossFit workouts in one day!!

Morning Session:

10:00am

Snatch From Blocks

10 x 3 @ 70% (95#)

Clean

10 x 3 @ 70% (115#)

This doesn't look like a lot on paper, but trust me, it was really tough....actually just the snatches were tough, there was so much to work on, it hurt my brain!! The cleans were a break!

Afternoon Session:

4:00pm

Snatch

8 x 2 @ 115#

-I missed a few here. I was trying new techniques, and was a little fatigued from the morning.

Did my last set at 110 to make sure I ended the snatching with a good lift.

Snatch Pull

4 x 5 @ 115#

Backsquat

5 @ 175#

5 @ 185#

2 x 4 @ 195

2 x 3 @ 205

Whew!! These were tough, my max backsquat is currently 215#, so the fact that I did 2 sets of 3 at 205 is pretty awesome!!! And, I was glad to be doing something that required no skill, and I could just be a meathead!!! Hahaha.

Back at it tomorrow! Hope my bruised and painful thumbs make it through the weekend!!!
