the DOOM WORKOUT

[new05002]

75# for men. Snatch is a tougher lift, wide grip and you end up bringing the bar full overhead (easier when doing this power versus snatch with squat)

shit quality video but here is an example of a hang snatch

Today's Workout

Warmup
2 rounds of:
10 x Jump Squats
10 x Sit ups
10 x Banded Thrusters
60 Singles or 30 Double Unders

WOD

Rep Scheme: 21-18-15-12-9-6-3

Wall Balls
Deadlifts
Box Jumps

18 min time cap

This was a Lurong Challenge WOD so there are 3 levels. Since I am not doing Lurong I can sort of do whatever with the setup. I did 24" box jumps, 105# deadlifts, and 14 lb medicine ball for the wall balls. That is kind of Level 2, except Level 2 had 20" box jumps and 20 lb medicine ball. L3 would have been 115# deadlifts, 24" box jumps, and 20 lb medicine ball. I finished this WOD in 17:27, almost thought I was not going to finish this one at the cap. I did mix in some step ups on the box jumps around round of 12 as I was having trouble breathing and had to slow it down to recover some breathe. Deadlifts were okay, only thing that is tricky is that they are light here so there is some emphasis on speed along with a shit ton of reps.

[D.o.S.]

Yeah I'll take fuck that for a thousand, Alex.

84 Deadlifts
84 Wall Balls
84 Box Jumps

Better or worse to see it that way?

[D.o.S.]

Considering my upper body strength is roughly equivalent to a two year old... no?

[new05002]

that workout is not so much about strength as it is endurance.

[D.o.S.]

Not that I don't believe you, but I don't believe you.

trust me i am not strong in the upper body. 84 105# dead lifts are not about strength, all about endurance.

[AngryGoldfish]

105lb deadlifts are difficult for someone who has never deadlifted before, but if you've been doing it for a month and know how to warm up and perform the movement properly, 105lbs is not a huge challenge. It would definitely be about endurance.

true, I should preface that is what was proscribed from the mens weight. Womens was 65# at L2. The idea behind that WOD was endurance and not a purely strength thing.

Started Stronglifts 5x5 today.
It feels good to be in a stripped down gym.

Today's Workout

Strength: 1 RM Strict Press: 20 min to establish a 1 RM.

Then

Tabata (20 seconds of work 10 second rest)
Back squat (95/65)
Row
Sit-up
**6 rounds for each*
Score for workout is minimum reps done in any single round.

So I was able to do 115# strict press for 2 reps overall but I couldn't put up 125#. Kind of disappointed I could not put that weight at least once.

Back Squats at 95# I did 8 minimum for 6 rounds, a few rounds at 9.
Rowing I did 45 cals total so if I assume equal division amongst rounds ~7.5 cal/round
Sit ups I did 11 minimum. Lost it on my last round here. 13,12,13,12,12,11.

[D.o.S.]

I picked up my amp today. That's a workout.
