2nd WOD after being out for 5 days . . . 10lbs lost and clearly not enough calories absorbed from what little I could keep down. As expected, these factors made themselves known in my performance today. I feel like 75% and performed so - but just more incentive to work smart, not hard. I'm just glad to be back in the gym.
Strength: 70%-80%-90% of 1RM (I don't know what it is yet, honestly. But my highest Clean and Jerk to date is 135#, so we used that to benchmark.)
Power cleans 3-3-3+ @ 85lbs/97lbs/110lb(1)
Form is improving, but I am still pretty weak. I struggled with 3 attempts on the last clean before finally it. Strong enough to lift it, but not aggressive enough to get under it today. Just need to keep plugging away.
Metcon 3 rounds @ 9:04
- 7 deadlifts (125lbs)
- 500m row
In true turtle form, I was SLOW! My rowing is still really inefficient albeit marginally improved. Asst Coach was kind enough to set my DL weights light for the workout since I'm not 100% back yet. Another lift I need to benchmark as well.
Overall, the metcon was rough. I kinda saw stars and blacked a bit on the last round . . . ended up crawling to the rower, working myself into a good rage, and finishing the workout. I found myself crying afterwards it hurt so much. Just a sign that I didn't hydrate enough, get enough calories in prior, or can push as hard as I normally would like. Certainly a work in progress and a lesson in disciplined fuel intake. Chipping away back to 100% and I am glad to do so. Every day is a new opportunity to improve and turn things around
