Rack this, you @#$$%ers....

WOD 5/29: catalyst wod

finished off with some plyo. couldn't do the normal catalyst due to too many stup...er...people. yea......

WOD 5/31: catalyst wod

• clean & jerk 135lbs x 1 rep x 3 sets
• snatch pull 195lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets
• stiff-legged deadlift 135lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets

today i cut the catalyst down and supplemented with plyo. we may start doing this combo, as we find that we occupy the rack for too long.

Just dead it!

WOD 5/26: catalyst wod

• clean & jerk 135lbs x 1 rep x 4 sets
• clean pull 245lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets

• back squat 275lbs x 3 reps x 5 sets

whoo - a tough one. i've up'd the percentages on catalyst for the pulls and deads so i can get my deadlift back up to speed.

Stability - where its at?

• overhead squat 135lbs x 1 rep x 1 set - ties pr!!!
• muscle snatch 125lbs x 1 rep x 1 set - ties pr!!!
• power snatch 115lbs x 2 reps x 2 sets

• clean pull 225lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets
