I don't know how people did this as Rx'ed. I failed after two rounds. Then did two, rest one min - thus the finish time of 12. This was plenty demanding.

CFFB - Front Squat, Bench and Pushing It - Nov 19

Front Squat 2, 2, 2, 2, 2
In .30 on 2.00
...not even sure what I'd done on this last time going in (215 for 5RM). Kinda worked up to a difficult-but-non-threatening 2RM.

Close Grip Bench 5×3 @ 90% of 5 RM from Thursday

CFFB - Squat/Bench Swod - Nov 10

Squat 6×3 @ 85% of last set of 3 reps from Monday
85% of 265 = 225. Monday's sets were at 255#, which would have been 215, but I'm sworn to never squat under 2 wheels ever again. Says less about my ability to squat in the low range than it does about my maximal strength. Working on that upper end though.
13 mins, sets in .30 on 2.00.

Close Grip Bench 5, 5, 5

5x225/245/265/285
13 mins - lots of talking with Flanagan.

Conditioning - (did not do)
Every 2 minutes
You have two (2) minutes to complete each of the following sets:
1. 155 lbs Thrusters – 5 reps; Sprint 120 yards
2. 155 lbs Thrusters – 6 reps; Sprint 100 yards

5. 155 lbs Thrusters – 9 reps; Sprint 40 yards
6. 155 lbs Thrusters – 10 reps; Sprint 20 yards
Start a running clock for this workout. At the top of each 2 minutes complete each set. If a set takes you 60 seconds, you have the rest of the minute to rest. Remember at the top of each 2 minute time period transition to the next set.

Would have been (155/300)*233 = 120# scaled.

CFFB - Deads n' Bounds - Nov 9

Deadlift 3 RM
Feeling weerd today after a deload (really, one workout week off) week

185x5/215x3/235/255/265 ... 215x7 (80%)
265 was enough for today.
22 mins.

Sprints
On the minute
Complete the following on the minute for 12 minutes:
Broad Jumps – 3 reps
Sprint 30 yards
Complete 3 max distance broad jumps, the goal is to seamlessly transition the final jump into the 30 yard sprint. Rest the rest of the minute and complete again.
Post fastest sprints to comments.


17 mins, with the walk over to the park. Broad jumps felt really awkward, but sprints felt good. Running in the mud with the hi-top chucks, had to flatten out the strides to keep from slipping.

CFFB - Swod Only - Nov 6

Squat 3, 3, 3, 3, 3
Press 10, 10, 10


Squat
5x135/3x185/x255 ... did 6 rounds of 3's. Felt solid through the core. Messed with the timer a lot, but in .30 on 2.30 was the best timer for this. Probably could have done more weight, but I've been off for 4 days and I'm feeling lethargic anyway. Change in the fall weather; cruddy air has me down. I know better than to push it while the miasma is present, especially training in the backyard.

Press 
10x95/x105/x115
Taking it easy with a bad right shoulder. 
6 mins.

Bad enough that I set out to do the push ups, but assuming the position killed. Rotator cuff is irritated again. Did 50, tens and resting up in the pike with active shoulders, but it was just too painful to continue.

Conditioning
Complete for time:
Push Ups – 150 reps
*Every time you stop and rest with your chest on the ground, count a penalty and immediately sprint 40 yards. Once the penalty sprint is completed, continue with the push ups.
*You can rest in a pike position (the top of a push up) but once you drop your chest to rest on the ground, count a penalty and sprint.

Backyard, no 40 yard area, so I just subbed in chins. Cleans at 145#, Chins were 3's and 2's, strict. Rounds on 2.00, didn't do the work for speed.
Gotta wrap the thumbs with tape before doing this many cleans - I always tear between my knuckles there.
