For time:
225 pound Deadlift, 21 reps
50 Squats
135 pound Push press, 21 reps
225 pound Deadlift, 15 reps
50 Squats
135 pound Push press, 15 reps
225 pound Deadlift, 9 reps
50 Squats
135 pound Push press, 9 reps

Time – 15:01

The deadlifts proved to be nothing compared to the push presses as I struggled to string a good set even during the first round. Squats just made it more interesting.

Weighted Pull Ups 3-3-3-3-3

20kg, 22.5, 25, 27.5, 30 (2)

21-15-9 reps for time of:
Back Squat 100kg
Handstand Push Ups

Time – 14:17

This is one of those workout day where I KNOW that I needed rest but still went ahead with it anyway. Stupidity doesn’t reward bravado. Woe to me who ended up in bed for the next two days.


Pushmore Games Q1

Workout No. 1
In 7 minutes, complete as many rounds as possible of:
7 Hang to Overhead @ 30kg/20kg
7 Burpees

7 rounds + 4 Burpees

Workout No. 2
21-15-9 reps for time of:
Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg/16kg
Ring Rows

Time – 4:34

Workout No. 3
Three rounds for max reps of:
1 minute Push Ups
1 minute Sit Ups
1 minute Squats

Total reps = 292

To summarise what happened, my arms got trashed by the ring rows and I totally SUCKED at sit-ups. I have no shape or form as far as muscular endurance is concerned. Add all these to my GOATS. I’ve got lotsa work to do. Which motivates me all the more. While it’s true that almost none of the wods play to my strengths, I still have no excuse. See you next june.

Back Squat

3-3-3-3-3

205 x 3 (warm-up), 225lb, 225, 225, 235, 235

Stronger core is essential. More explosiveness through the hips is essential.

Legs are hurting. Bad.


WOD061109

Back Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

205, 215, 215, 215, 215, 225, 225

You can’t squat without an active hip.

- Mark Rippetoe

For the 1 rep max, it means everything must come into place correctly with the chest high, weight on the heels and the core absolutely tight with the lumbar curve at the back. And then one must think of driving the fuckin’ ass up.

Adjustment after the 3rd set – pushing out the knees more towards the outside allows my butt to get to where it needs to be.
