Thanks! Perhaps after my run time gets upped I'll have an Oly focused routine, I've pretty much avoided doing it because of the lack of decent equipment.

I attended a impromptu Oly workshop that Dan John did in January 2006 and he upped my PS from 40kg to 60 kg in the span of an hour. I'm pretty sure I weighed more then so I guess my BW to weight snatched ratio got a little better.

Notes:
-Power Snatch - PR!!! I haven't snatched more than 135 ever, and the 140 felt really easy, I just really focused on chest up, chin out, heels and jump! (Thanks once again to DJ).
-OHS - 140 felt really good, had a problem stabilizing the weight at first but then it felt great. I can't wait for 145.
-FS from the bottom - 180 felt good, so next week I'll move up 5#'s.
-1 Leg SLDL - My advice from last week was to stick with 30#'s and of course I didn't! oops 35 was rough, definitely staying at 35!
-Neutral grip Incline DBpress - 75#'s was good, 80 is next!
-Foot mobility drills - I realized last time I did 50m's of each drill, oops, 25m's was still challenging but much easier than the 50m's
-Strides - Interesting, it wasn't full out but neither was I shuffling along either, the totally barefoot run was interesting also. My last 2 strides I sped up a little bit but I should have stayed at ~22.


Foam Rolling/Triugger point stuff - 45 minutes - whole body

May 22, 2007 - Broken into 2 sessions due to time constraints

Session 1:
Row@6 - 500m - 1:44.3
CPMP: 8 reps
Hip abduction quadruped
adduction lying
leg over

reach, roll and lift - 10L/R, 10L/R
quadruped oblique crunch - 6L/R
tick tocks - 6L/R
scap pushup - 10, 15

30# weighted vest
Ring Dips - 2, 2, 2, 2
(Superset with full rest - 60 sec)
Pullups - 2, 2, 2, 2

Ring support - 25 sec, 25 sec
Ring elbow lever work - 15 sec, 10 sec, 9 sec

Session 2:
Run 4 - Benchmark A - 2 miles
Time: ~15:30
Avg Speed - 7:45/mile

stick dislocates - 5, 5, 5, 5, 5,
Russian Pool mobility drill - 10L/R

Notes:
-Dips - Not too hard but it wasn't easy with the vest either, next time I'll either up the reps or sets but stay with the 30# for now
-Pullups - Easy
-Run 4 - The first 1/2 mile I was flying at 7 min/mile but a couple of times I slowed down to 9/mile near the end. I think I did better than 15:30 but I didn't remember to hit my stopwatch when I first started. This is better than my previous 2 mile effort on 5/6 at 19:00 but I also didn't have an asthma attack either so it's not a great comparison.
