In at 3:30.
Skill WOD “Be the Master of Your Volume” Week 3 Day 3
Warm-up: 3 Rounds
- 10 Pass-thrus (over & under grips)
- 10 Straddle V-ups
- 10 Back Extensions
- 10s Handstand Hold
- 5/5 Bar Taps (tight/dynamic)
Test Your Max
- 1 Set of MAX C2B Pull-ups
- 4 sets at 60%
- 2:00 Rests between all sets
Didn’t have it today. Got 18, which is 5 fewer than last week so 60% (rounded up) was sets of 11. I got the first 3 sets unbroken and then went for a max of 13 on the last set.
In the 2nd drop set I started to lose some of my peripheral vision and was seeing sort of 2 squiggly rainbow lines on the right some of my vision. It was weird. Lasted through the accessory work and then my peripheral was still messed up for a little while after that.
Strength Accessory: 3 Sets
- 10 Leg Lifts (AbMat on box on jerk blocks)
- 20 GHD Heel Drives
Cut from 5 to 3 sets again since I didn’t want to fatigue my back too much before squats.
Strength – Front Squat
- 5×45#
- 5×135
- 5×205
- 5×235
- 5×265
- 5×275
- 5×285 (PR)
Wasn’t sure what to expect after the vision weirdness. Pretty solid lifting though and beats the set of 5 I did about a year ago.
Conditioning
Mini “Diane”
12-9-6
- Deadlift (225#)
- HSPU
I had looked back earlier when planning my week and saw a time of 5:18 from over 3 years ago for this so I was pretty happy with the 3:58 I did today. Until I got home at least. I had failed to see I later did a 15-12-9 in 4:10 over 2 years ago. Today I went unbroken on all of the deadlifts and 7-5, 5-4, and 4-1-1 on the handstand push-ups.
My neck and head weren’t feeling the greatest after this and then some of my fingers actually started going numb as I recovered. What the fuck is wrong with me today?
Skill
- 2:00 DU
Missed more than I should have, but did a decent set of about 80 unbroken in the middle. Managed 183 reps, which is still ranked high on Beyond The Whiteboard so I shouldn’t complain too much, but I expect better.
Really not sure what was going on with me today. I’ve never had some of those issues in a training session. I did take a bunch of extra carbs in both of my workout drinks, but not sure that would have had anything to do with it. I think it’s a sign to take a full rest day tomorrow instead of active recovery.
