September 8, mental block

I went to a party on Saturday so I didn't go to the box on Sunday although I wasn't hungover or so. I just went to bed late and wanted to give my body some rest.

I went on monday and this was the WOD:

21-15-9 reps for time of:
Russian Kettlebell swings (70/53)
Burpees
Toes to bar

7 power clean (135/95) after each round

The strength part consisted out of 1 RM power clean and 2 rounds of 10 man height jumps alternated with 10 double kettlebell cleans.  I thought my 1 RM was 85, but it actually already was 105 lbs. When I reached that point I started thinking that my 1 RM power clean couldn't be higher than my 1 RM front squat.... and I blocked. I could definitely pull the 115 lbs high enough but I couldn't bring myself to jump underneath it. Mental block !!

I did the WOD with a 53 lbs kettlebell (heavy!!!) and scaled the toes to bar to knee raises on the rings. I did the power cleans with 70 lbs. Unfortunately, I forgot my time, whoops, and I can't decipher the whiteboard picture but I definitely finished within 15 minutes and it felt great!

Another kind of filthy fifty

Yesterday's workout was tough, especially since I didn't go to the box for almost a month. Too busy working late nights. A common excuse, I know.

Warm-up:

1 RM shoulder press: new PR 70 lbs (previous March PR 55 lbs)


WOD

For time:
50 Push Press (95/65)
50 Pull-ups
50 Toes to bar
50 Walking lunges
50 Burpees
50  Slamballs (40/20)

Scaled:

PP 40, ring rows, knee raises, slamballs (4 kg--> wrist injury)

It was tough and hot outside but I managed to finish in 24:51 (time cap was 25 min).
