C. 165, 175----> wanted to keep it fast, not sure what weight you meant by high effort from B

W5P1

Friday 
AM - Swimming Laps
25 meter Swim/Front Crawl @ high effort every minute x 20 mins
(5 min rest)
400 meter Front Crawl @ high effort x 1 set
25m/min felt fine.  400m was tough and I lost count so not sure I made it 400, may have just been 350 but I was running short on time so I had to go.  Swims haven't been really improving much.  I think I need to get some lessons if I want them to improve.

PM - BSq int sets + Deficit DL's + GH Raises + SL int
A. Back Squat @ 40X1, 1-1-1-1, 4 min - all tough sets, full depth, follow tempo

D. DB Reverse Lunges off 2” step @ 10X0, 5/leg x 6 sets, 1:30 min - alternate legs per rep

A. 365, 375, 385, 400.  PR!  Pumped about this.  375 felt really tough, then 385 felt good so I went for it and it wasn't terrible.  Never doubted I would get up with it.  Tempo was there too, maybe 3 seconds but still slow.
B. 385 for 3.  Very tough, did not feel strong at all.  Not sure if it's just where we are in the phase but DL still feels weak.  Everything else is improving nicely.
C. 25#, 35#, 45#, 45#
D. 70#/hand heaviest KB's they had at gym I was at.  Movement never really got hard or lost tempo but man this got the top of the hamstring insertion like I've never felt before.  After set 3 I was getting that almost cramping feeling.  Very sore the next day from it.  I really liked this b/c I've never felt that before.


Saturday - MAP Low %'s (30-->75 mins)
50 minutes @ 75%/moderate effort - wear a HR monitor:
(2 mile Run buy-in)

150 cal AirDyne
200m Bear Crawl
Row for remaining time

2 miles- 17:00
150 Cal Row @ 820ish Cal/hour- about 13 min I think
400m FW- set KB's down @ 200 and 300m, not sure but guessing about 5 min
150 Cal ROW again, no Air Dyne where I was
75m Bear Crawl.
Felt pretty good, I think I sweat about 10#'s worth of water weight but felt good and consistent the whole time.

Went to a clients gym who I'm training for regionals and forgot HR monitor 

Monday 
AM - SN int + C&J int + GH Raises + Squat stamina
A. Snatch, work to a single
B. Power Clean and Split Jerk Cluster, 1.1.1 - work to a tough set

Front Squats
*Start @ 225lb, reduce load by 30lb each round (i.e. use 195lb for 10 reps)
*Bar taken from floor each time

A. Built to 235 no misses, just missed 240
B. Built to 245, power clean felt really heavy.  Split Jerk actually felt decent
C. 25# each time.  Felt harder than usual.  Do you want me doing the back extension portion of this or just lowering down to parallel?
D. 7:18. UB, UB, 10/5, 15/5, 20/5.  More about breathing and being uncomfortable in rack position then legs. 

PM - Upper EMOM
EMOM x 21 mins:
1st - 20 sec max effort handstand walk
2nd - 5 ring muscle-ups
3rd - 2 rope climb to 15ft

Muscle Ups all unbroken but tough.  Actually missed 5th rep on 6th set but didn't let go and tried again and got it.
Rope climbs, still not fun.  Lat fatigue started to really set in last 2 sets.

D. Barbell Russian Step-ups, 15-20/leg x 3 sets, 1 min b/t legs

A. 2 sets @ 185, 2 sets @ 205.  Just felt really slow today.  OHS was easy but I was slow getting under the Snatch balance, keep the snatch balance work coming...
B. Done, didn't feel great.  Low back felt weak.  Sent you the video's
D. 20/leg @ 45# for 2 sets, 15/leg @ 65# last set.  Just leg burning.

DB Snatch, 75#'s b/c I don't have a 65#- 8 total up to last set I got 10
DU's- 52-55 reps/set

Felt pretty good here.  DB snatch was the only thing that really got me.  Sled push would have been worse than AD but overall felt good.  Last 2 sets catching my breath in 30 sec after the DB snatch was pretty tough.

W4P1

AM - Swimming Laps
25 meter Swim/Front Crawl @ high effort every minute x 20 mins
(5 min rest)
300 meter Front Crawl @ high effort x 1 set 
Done in P.M. on vacation so had to get strength work in first.  Swim was not exact measures so for the 300m I just swam for 7:30 b/c I figured that's about what it would take.

PM - BSq int sets + Deficit DL's + GH Raises + SL int
A. Back Squat @ 40X1, 2-2-2-2, 4 min - all tough sets, full depth, follow tempo

D. OH Barbell Walking Lunges, 4 reps per min x 10 mins - all tough sets 
A. 315, 335, 355, 375.  Probably shouldn't have counted 315 but I haven't even hit 375 for a single in a while so I was pleased. Felt pretty good, kept tempo.
B. 365, 385---> tough, wanted to try to hit 400 but 385 was tough and couldn't go up.
C. 10#, 20#---->

25 cal Rowing
50m Walking Lunges
100m Overhead Barbell Carry @ 65lb

About 13 min on 1.5 miles, don't remember.
3 + Row + Bear Crawl
HR stayed about 150 throughout today.  Little cooler here than it has been on the last few plus these are easier movements I think.  Everything felt good, shoulders burned on Farmer's Carry and OH Carry.  Went a little wider than press grip on OH.  First set did press grip and felt a little overextended in lumbar.

B. 195, pretty shot after cleans and was just catching lower than I wanted, might could have gone higher but had to move on.
C. 10#/set for 5's.  Got tough at the end.
D. seconds- 41, 50, 52, 47, 45... this was BRUTAL.  All unbroken but man it was tough.  Grip was smoked at the end I could barely hang on.  Last 2 sets felt like lactate training, I tried to speed up to save my grip.  Fell out after the last set and was wheezing on the ground and couldn't get comfortable for a while like I did a 500m row TT or something. 

PM - Upper EMOM
