Press / Deadlift / Kodiak

A.  Shoulder Press - 3-3-3

95-115-120 


B. Deadlift 1x5

Warmed up with 95, 185 and 225. 

Then I lifted 300 for five reps, a PR of five pounds.

This breaks a PR I set earlier this month. 

One of these days, I have got to work toward a one-rep max.  I haven't done that for three years. 


C. "Kodiak"

With increasing the weight, do seven rounds of
3 snatch (touch and go)
6 overhead squat
9 back squat. 

You can't put the bar down in the middle of a round. 

The part I hated the least was the transition from OHS to back squat.  It did not feel great on the arm that's hurting.  I ended up going  into a squat as the weight came down across my shoulders

It was getting late, so I only did six rounds.

75-85-95-105-125  Another five-pound PR, although my previous best on Kodiak dates back to 2009.  

Note to future self reading this:  Tape your wrists when you do this.

It was actually Tracey's day to go, but the alarm went off at 5:45 and she didn't think she could make it to the gym on time. I missed yesterday morning, so I said I would go in her place.

"Kodiak"

Seven rounds of:

3 power snatch (touch and go)
6 overhead squat
9 back squat

Do this all in a sequence, with no breaks in between. This isn't for time, but you increase your weight each round.

My numbers:
75-85-95-105-110-115-120

I'm fine with this and it's heavier than I thought I would end up doing, likely due to trying to keep up with Christian.

My snatches were looking pretty sketchy by the end, but I got that shit overhead and that's what counts.

Keeping it overhead was another thing. Overhead squats are always challenging, but they felt pretty good today, and my shoulder isn't bothering me like it did the last time we did these.

On the transitions to the back squat, I was trying my damndest to not bash the hell out of my neck, but I was pretty eager to let the weight down.
