Power = Better

6/13: rest day

WOD 6/14: catalyst wod
  • Snatch - 115lbs x 1 rep x 4 sets
  • Clean & jerk - 135lbs x 1 x 3
  • Back squat - 275lbs x 1; 315 x 1
  • K2E - 10 reps x 3 sets
total reps: snatch x 4; c&j x 3; bs x 2; k2e x 30 = 39 total reps

this was my first catalyst athletics WOD. i loved it! getting used to the programming was a bit odd. i mean squat 90% of your 1RM x 1 rep? that is quite odd? and i was thinking...you have to be kidding me...you want me to squat that w/o any warm up squats??? so i threw 275 on there and did that like butter. then i said what the hell. i'll do my true 90% (315lbs) and threw it up like BUTTER. i can't believe that...it goes against all the traditional programming that is drilled in my head. the same went for the snatches and c&j's, but with minimal snatch and c&j warmup, i was able to bust the reps out w/no problem. this is crazy!

i'm really glad i found these WODs. they are programmed for strength, which is exactly what i've been trying to work on. whoo!

WOD 6/15: disc golf

went disc golfing for the first time this year (first time since september). we didn't get all 18 holes because we ran out of day light. was fun tho. went with josh, sheila, matt and liz. it was nice...my power was a lot more than it was last september. i am stronger!

time: ~2-2.5 hrs
