TD 66

HD and i split up the session into three parts: (1) lifts, (2) a timed work, and (3) cool-down on the bike.

i was proud of HD's progress as he killed his last set.  what was once 3 reps at 175lb a few weeks ago, has turned into 11 reps at 175lbs now...  i think he can start messing around with weight over 200lbs!  as for me, i stayed at 4 reps at 275lbs.  i wouldn't say that it's disappointing that i may have plateaued on the bench press for now because it seems that all of my other major lifts are getting better... probably catching up to my bench!  with that said, i can't be mad at that- haha just glad i didn't get weaker from this program.

moreover, i think that we're getting really strong with our hang clean & jerks... probably turning out to be my favorite lift...

next, 3 rounds for time
18 dumbbell hang squat cleans (20lbs each hand)
18 pullups
10 power cleans (85lbs)
10 handstand pushups

here's part of HD's first round:

our forearms for the pullup part of this WOD were burning... probably from the lifts and i gotta say that's the part that made the WOD in its entirety so challenging.  another observation is that our handstand pushups are really coming along and i see that we're getting stronger at them.

results
HD: 23min 01sec     DV: 11min

last, cool-down
10mins on the bike @ level 5
total: 2.02 miles, approx. 60cal burned

all in all very productive training day i think.  can't wait to do it again in a few hours.
