Great day in the garage this morning. Strangely, it rarely rains between the hours of 4:30-7:30. Heavy rain hit last night and rained through the night but by 4:30 it broke and we were able to get the whole workout in rain free. It is strange how often this happens. It started raining as I was finishing at 7:30.

Romanian DL at 185

Snatch balance at 95, 115, 95

Metcon 2 at 185 dropping to 135 to try to get more T2B

No extra work today besides push/pull sled and stretching

Making significant progress on the sit cross leg head on floor which feel fantastic and strangely seems to have opened my hamstrings a bit.

Training feels good right now but I am not sure how my performance would be if I were to test it. I have not competed in a while and with Fraser’s HWPO program there is really not a way to keep track of everything or a leaderboard to compete on each workout. I really like the programming but I do miss the leaderboard from Bergerons program.

I have been staying relatively light on most weights and I do feel good and injury free. Id like to test some workouts and probably will with some open workouts even though I am not competing in the Open this year. Ill do some of the workouts as a test to see where I am.

Hit the strict press at 135, 145, 155. Snatch and squat snatch was 95 and felt smooth. Could have done 115 pretty easily I think. Knee work is paying off

Good group this morning…Josh, Jose, Justin, Jimmy, Rusty, Card, Alan, Me

Felt great to be back in the Garage this morning!

Robert, Kim, Alan, Rusty, Josh, Jose, Matt Lawson and JODY all back with me.

Starting to ramp up the weight again. Feeling good. I based my 1RM dead off 315 which is light but just being careful and laying down a good base. Snatch Balance was at 115 and Metcon was at 115 as well. I was moving well with the 115 squat snatches today. Knee work is definitely helping.

Finished the day with 4x push/pull on the sled with 6 plates.

I have been out of town on a trip with my wife and 2 other couples. We went to BVI and stayed on a sailboat. It was a fantastic trip and offered a good amount of time to do the 10,000 pushup challenge.

I finished this years challenge in 10 days. I could have just done 1000/day for 10 days but I started out lower and made up some numbers on the boat. I did 2001 on the last day to finish.

Expecting to be sore, I wasn’t. That made me very happy that I could do 2000 pushups and not be even a little sore. I think the key to this was doing 20 on the minute for 94 minutes. The small sets with rest made a big difference.

Now it is time to get back into the garage and back to Frasers program. Looking forward to it

2nd day of the 10,000 push-up challenge. No push-ups in the workout so I’m a little behind yesterday. Sitting at 360 right now. I’ll do more later this afternoon

I have been going off below max numbers for a while now. I think it has helped me to heal up and be injury free for a bit. Developing the base.
deadlift max is set at 315 right now instead of 360. So today hit the dead’s at 245.
felt pretty good on the burpees row and GHD and ended up with 73 of the target 75. I used a 20” box though

ill need to bump up the weight and hit the standards for the workouts on HWPO to be competitive but for now I’m just trying to move well, focus on mobility and flexibility and get back to running. The running has not improved and I am still afraid of injuring my calf.
