I'm back to Oregon today, see you all in about 10 weeks for spring break.

It was nice to have you Alex.

Go Ducks

6:30 class
a)295# (well below pr)
b) DNF - lack of grip strength due to non-workouts, poor eating habits and still a bit sick all added up for a pathetic let down

6:30am
DL: 420#
45 DL/penalty: 5:15 (two sets, 31 and 14)

1 RM: 232#. Lifting in less than ideal conditions in my parents basement. Hands slipped on 245.

DL metcon: 5:35 RX

Still doing 5-3-1 at Ironworks. Figure I may as well post what I'm doing so I can feel part of the team.

Wave 5 week 1:

Press:
165x6

75# press x 26 reps (want to get to 45)

What was considered a rest? Hands off bar? 10 seconds?

The penalty did not fit the crime! Ouch!

I'd like an answer to this one myself, just for future reference.

I would think it's hands off bar, but of course I wasn't there. It's not unlike the press version in that you can't recover that well when your legs are bent. I wouldn't mind trying the metcon with a clean grip the whole time.

I agree that the penalty does not fit the crime!

A: 370 (PR).
B: 2:01 RX (reps unbroken), after a few minutes rest I did the "penalty" just for good measure.

6:15 - DL 1RM 217# (PR by 10#; 5x10 Romanian deadlifts

You can sit there with your hands on the bar forever. Max may disagree, but my standard on the deadlift is anything more than one breath with the weight on the ground is a broken set.

Totally agree. One breath.

One breath was the standard we used yesterday morning too (think Doron and Max agreed with Daniel on this).

A: 240# 1RM
B: 1:51
