So today was my first time trying the 6am class and it was HORRIBLE! lol. Not the class, but doing the WOD early in the AM. I felt like I had zero strength and was working in zombie mode:( I am going to give the early class a couple more trys to see if it gets better. I definitely did not do as well as I normally would in the evening class.
Squat: 125#....feel apart in the last set and stopped at 3.
Death by HPC: 73# 9 rounds + 6.
We did Death by PC back in Febraury and I got rounds + 7 at 73#.
Are Power Cleans easier than HPC? I know with PC you start from the ground. Does anyone know if that makes it easier or not? I am just really wondering if the AM is that bad for me, or if the HPC are just worse than PCs.
Sea Biscuit - I think the ease of each totally depends on the person. For some reason, I'm a little stronger in the hang power clean than I am starting from the ground. for me, i think it's a form issue. I tend to lose my form a bit when trying to get teh bar over my knees. Many people are a lot stronger in the power than they are in the hang.
BS:175-185-195(4)-195(3)...wasnt hitting depth on some reps due to shifting my weight to my toes instead of keeping it in my heels. hence i felt like i was reaching depth, but george refuted that claim.
HPC ladder @ 95#: 13 rds + 9/14, grip killer.
3x5 split squats: 45-65-65#...really works hip stabilization
SWODs: pressing and squats 5-5-5+. Didn't do a deload week but still matched my numbers from last month on the 5+ set. Depth still ass-to-ground on squats since the reset. Going to swap in FS for DL this month and probably swap out pressing for incline next month. Going to start rotating movements because I think I'll see more improvement that way.
HPC ladder @ 115: 15 rounds flat. Tore a bad flapper on round 13 and decided I didn't want to mess my hands up too much so quit after 15. Grip wasn't too much of an issue but that's because of all my KBell work.
HPC ladder 95# - 22 rounds. No grip issues really. But as the form fell apart, these became kipping reverse curls, biceps feel like a million bucks right now. Really hoping for some pull ups tomorrow, they'll be a ton of fun.
@Tyler: Thanks! I think I am definitely stronger in the power cleans. I think that during the HPC, I get tired faster because I never get to put the bar down. Oh well, just something to work on:)
Squat: up to 140#
ReplyDeleteDeath by Hang Power Cleans: 7 rounds completed + 1/8 @ 95#. 6 felt fine and then the wheels came off.
