ME Monday: HSPUs

"Skill": 3 x ME HSPU (2 strict, 2 strict, 3 kipping all to one ab mat)
Metcon rx'd: 4 rounds of 42 DU / 21 KBS (1 pood) / 12 pistols / 400m run
20:30

Post: worked on kipping HSPUs... got to a set of 7 kipping HSPUs (PR) to one ab mat

Not quite warmed up for the ME HSPU sets so I ended up working on it a bit more after. PR is 5 strict to 1 ab mat so way off today.
Metcon was fine. Good push from Jamie (who I wasn't going to catch) and Noel (who I caught up to and tried to stay in front of). KBS unbroken. Pistols were toughest after a few rounds... tough to balance and had to redo a bunch of reps.

New week

Strength: FS 5-5-5-5-5-5 (65-75-85-95-105-115)

Metcon: 4 rounds of 50 DU / 10 hang clean (65#, rx) / 6 TGU (1 pood, rx)
19:35

Post: 1 ME set of push ups : 11

Last recorded FS 5RM was from May 2011 at 105#. I knew I had more having nailed a FS 3RM at 125# in June 2012. I don't think I maxed out at 115# and only the last rep was slightly sticky/slow. Shoot for 120# next time.
I've never done a TGU with a 1 pood KB, let alone 12 of them per arm. These were the toughest and slowest on me. At one point, I thought my left shoulder was going to bend the wrong way but I held it together. Much easier on the right side than left side, no surprise. DUs and hang cleans were no problem other than my arms getting tired out from the TGUs. Definitely an arm burnout issue today... no chance to get too winded here.

Another 12:30ish

Metcon: 5 rounds of 40 DU / 6 Power Snatch (65#, rx) / 12 slam balls (20#, rx)
12:29

Post: 20 x 1 20# WB
Post-post: ME sets to failure: HSPU to 1 ab mat (2-2-1-1) and rx ring dip (3-2-1)

The 65# power snatches are feeling better. Slam balls unbroken. Got some nasty misses on the DUs. Pushed for less rest in between.
Pretty happy with my ME efforts today. Thinking about doing more max effort sets for upper body as post.
