JK Training Log

[Justin Keane]

sick, again, crap, again...got strep for the second time in a month and have been busy enough at work that i'm fine with calling a legit reset on the 12 weeks and beginning anew, which I did on Monday.

Monday, Oct 5
w/u row for 2 min
ring work--pushups and static holds
oly: clean shrugs 135x3x5, power clean last rep (on Coach B's advice--my extension on oly lifts sucks completely
strength: back squat 223x5x3; weight represents a 10% deload to nail down form
metcon: row 500m, 7 db thrusters 50 lb, row 400 m, thrusters, row 300m, thrusters, 7:03

Tuesday, Oct 6 (today)
w/u 1.5 min row
strength: weighted pullups, 35 lbx5, 35x4, 35x3; will deload 10% next week to get straight sets
press, 115x5x3; weight is 10% deload, adding 5lb next time
deadlift, 115x5, 225x3, 315, 365, 435 (fail). Didn't plan the rep scheme well on this.
Cooldown: reverse hypers 2x10, back extension 2x10

will start charting food--after reading through Gant's hybrid thread, a few things clicked, among which was the use of blocks as an appx tracking device to check at day's end, and maybe some playing around with IF. certainly don't need to put on any mass; i'd like to see if i can make some concrete strength gains with the kind of linear programming i've never really stuck with before.

Wed, Oct 7

Rest day today. Going to play with doing Mon-Tues-Thurs-Sat workout scheme.
food was a lot of ice cream after dinner--a definite carb up after a 3-4 day stretch of low carb. appx 26 pro, 36 carb, 60+fat blocks. Big day.

Looking forward to some power snatching and box squats tomorrow. KB swing and ring pushup metcon.

Priority these next 12 weeks is strength, recovery. Maintenance of current metcon and conditioning level (fair to middling) via 20-30 min weekly metcon is fine. Low carb, lots of meat, occasional ice cream--confident i'll look, lift, and feel appreciably better 12 weeks from now.

Thurs, Oct 8
w/u 400m run, dislocates
gym: handstand work against wall. nothing i hate more than sucking at something while people watch.
oly: snatch shrug 95x5x6-7. shoulders still tensing up beforehand, need to keep nice and loose and then pop
strength/dynamic box squats 136x3x8, 30 sec rest btw sets
metcon 12-9-6 kb swings (2 pood), burpees, 3:01...next time, 15-12-9 on this one.

fast from 9 PM-1:30 PM
w/u 2 min kb swings, 26 lb
long cycle clean & press, 4 min: one hand 26 lb kb, other 20 lb kb, alternate every five. form needs some work.
metcon: 6 rounds, 10 reps 135 lb dead, 10 pushups, 6:54. dead form needs work as well. might scrap this one until back rounds less.
