New DeadLift Best!

Thursday - October 20 @ Crossfit Nordic

Agility  and barbell exercises

Deadlift  - ramp up in weights ande series -- up to 1 rep @ 155 kg! My new personal best. As the lift came out great we tried for 160 kg, although close it did not go all the way this day (not far away)!

'Jackie'

1000 meter row
45 pound Thruster, 50 reps
30 pull-ups - knicked 15 pull-ups! 

The goal was to go for 10 min -- the rows went great, took some time on the Thruster, and in the end did 15/16 pullups--amnd had to stop as time ran out... Iäll get Jackie next time in 10! 

Overall very happy with this days exercise, as I've been waiting to get new PR in deadlifts & Jackie I'll get no problem! 

New PB Clean and some other eggs in the basket

Two sets to finish the week in good standing -- a bit rushed for time but happy overall with my performance and attack during the weeks workouts!


Saturday 15 October @ SATS Odenplan


A.Clean 40kgx3 45kgx3 50kgx3 55kgx3 60kgx3 65kgx1  


Main focus was to get the cleans in order - Followed with trials 70kgx1, but did several 65 kg cleans (new Personal Best), but never got the 70 kg done. Al due to technique and basically sitting down quicker -- no problem to push the bar up at all

B.Frontsquat 70kgx5x1 


Had to rush the workout as I took time to go over the cleans -- was not able to complete all the sets of Front Squats and following met con -- but will catch up later in the week.


Sunday 16t October @ SATS Fridhemsplan

A.OHS 40kgx3 45kgx3 50kgx3  (55kgx3 60kgx3) 

Got going on the OHS which has been a bit tricky for me to break new ground. I did the ones up to 50kg which felt nice and in good control, but did not muster the 55 etc this time.


B.40 pushpressar 40kg on time tid, each minutet 5 knees to elbows

Had more action goin' on the presses and KTE .. broke them into 10 and then 5's

C. Do in totalt 40 dips and 20 pull-ups  in any combination/set as you want


All Dips up to 30 (breaking 10's & 5's), and then switch to 10 / 10 pull-ups to complete 40/20.

Tuesday Deadlifts & more @ Tule

Headed to SATS Tule (great gym that had got even better -- I had not visited that one in about a year!) on Tuesday 11/10 evening to do the following workout


Warm Up and agility


A1.Deadlift 120kgx3 130kgx3 135kgx3 145kgx3

A2. Benchpress 60kgx5 65kgx5 70kgx5 75kgx5

B. On Time: 40 deadlift 100kg  at the start of each minute do 5 burpees 5 burps






A) Comment: Deadlift and Benchpress went great - had to work for 145 kg w. super quick break bw each lift. 


B) Comment: Felt the previous dedlifts and did not go for 20 at start), but rather quick 4x5's, and finished the last 20 with 2x10 -- burpees sin between as time went by.

FRANtastic and some nice weighted pull-ups!

I've been continuously to the gym for the past two weeks, although a cold knocked me out for a week mid September-- a bit lazy on the blog and still got some good entries to put up from the past weeks-- but here's a fresh one from today's workout! 

Crossfit Nordic Today at around noon today

Warm-up and agility & pull-ups (working on knees kickoff and kipping) 

OHS mixed weights up to 55 kg (in 3 reps - 30, 40, 50 kg) - tried for 60 but didn't go for it today (but shouldn't be a problem for coming sets). 

in between 

Weighted Pullups - Varius lifts/reps/kilos -- Achieved a New PR with 1 rep 32,5 kg - new maximum. Fun exercise! 

Ended with Fran (for the first time):

21-15-9 (45 total) reps of Thursters (42kg) mixed with Pullups

I broke down the lifts the following way

21(8,7,6)

15 (6,5,4)

9 (5,4) 

Time: approx 12 min -- according to trainer I'd have capacity to for for 7-8min --which means I've to get into it with more intensity! I was still pulling back a'bit in comfort, going for more of weightlifting rather than full on blast.  But it felt good though today to get it done! To be revisited soon!
