Static Energy

WOD 11/17: static wod

today was a core static focus day.

WOD 11/20: e-squared wod

• overhead squat 120lbs x 3 reps x 2 sets; 115lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets

yea that was a serious beat down - for me and liz. she ranged from 60-70lbs. we both got our asses handed to us.

part of that has to do with all the isometric work lately. but it is so worth it. i've been gaining some real functional usable strength.

WOD 11/22: static wod

today we focused on core and hanging isometric work. hanging and holding at 3 points in a pullup works extremely well.  also i've been getting notably better at core isometrics. this stuff is great.

WOD 11/25: e-squared wod

• full squat clean 145lbs x 2 reps x 1 set; 155lbs x 2 reps x 4 sets

so stoked about these. the squat clean form came together perfectly with weight! left my feet - the whole nine. jumped it perfectly and caught it at the bottom. i think the core work has helped with strength - it felt easier to pull the weight in general. the clean has always been a weak movement for me as it relies on a lot of anterior muscle. the core isometric stuff has been addressing that - and it really carried over to dynamic movements. the clean being the perfect example of this.

WOD 11/26: hiking

a new thanksgiving tradition - go hiking at 9000 feet. we headed up to the summit of mt. lemmon and hiked the meadow trail and part of the wilderness of rocks trail. i'd say we did 2.5-3.0 miles or so. was a nice refreshing thanksgiving hike.
