Drew Mathews Training

push press 3 reps on the minute 135 for 15 minutes  3 rounds for time:  5 push jerks 135 50 double unders  my time: 5:32  On the second round my brother came out and walked in front of me screwing up my double unders which up until that point were all unbroken. So I think that hurt my time a little.  Did some practice with pistols (one legged squats) after the metcon.  Distance Run 12 mile run 1:44:12 This totally sucked!! I still have a headache and stomachache from this. Happy with my time though.  DM

I had a very busy day today. From 9:30 to 3 I helped my mon clean around the house. After that she took me to visit Swamp Rabbit Crossfit, a new box downtown Greenville. I got a shirt from there and I might buy a punch card that's good for 12 visits and use it over the Spring. Then when summer comes I will probably buy the unlimited package(unlimited classes and open gym). Real nice gym! back squat 5 x 185, 205, 3 x 215, 225, 1 x 240, 255, 265(fail) 5 rounds for time:  my time: 4:50 5 clean and jerks 115  25 double unders  I totally screwed up on the double unders, I missed probably a total of 10 jumps. I think I could nock off at least 30 seconds if I got those under control. 

Merry Christmas!  Very good morning, got some new weightlifting equipment and decided I wanted to do a Christmas WOD with them.  overhead squats 5 x 95, 3 x 115, 3 x 135, 1 x 185, 1 x 205  Major PR of 20 pounds on the overhead squat. Once I take the bar off the rack in more scared about not completing the jerk than I am about making the squat.  "Grace" 30 clean and jerks 115 for time:  3:38 That was the first time I had ever done grace and it sucked. After 10 reps I was allready winded. Need to keep working hard! split snatch 2 on the minute 115 for 10 minutes Good day of training, hope to hit it even harder tomorrow. 

bench press 5 x 135, 5 x 150, 5 x 160 - 5 rounds power snatch emom  - 3 on minute 95 for 5 minutes - 3 on minute 105 for 5 minutes - 1 every 30 seconds 135 for 5 minutes Power snatches went really well, I only failed 1 rep and got it imediatly afterwards.  later this evening I had a couple Spain minutes and decided to do some kettlebell work.  100 kettlebell swings 35 pounds - 3:32 Real grip and forearm killer! 

After the crossfit endurance challenge I was still sore but not enough not to get in a workout. barbell curls 5 x 10 45 inclined curls 5 x 8 20 pound dumbbells squat clean 3 reps on the minute at 135 for 15 minutes overhead squat 7 x 1 135, 2 x 1 185 Hit a major PR of 30 pounds on the overhead squat. Feel pretty good hoping to get in another WOD tomorrow.

Before the challenge even started that morning I got bored and decided to hit a workout with a friend.  bench press 10 x 135, 140, 145, 5 x 155, 185 barbell curls 5 x 10 45 inclined bench 3 x 10 95 barbell rows 3 x 10 95 squat clean 2 x 135, 1 x 155, 185, 195 snatch 3 x 1 135 Then…at 8 o clock at night the challenge started! The challenge was you run for ten minutes every hour on the hour and then rest for 50 minutes. You do that 24 times.  The first few hours were pretty good, but once it got into double digits it started to get a little harder. We had totaled 13 miles at 12 hours, the halfway point in the challenge. Me and my friends decided we wanted to bike up to Chick-fil-A for lunch, so right after we ran we jumped on our bikes and biked 3 miles their and 3 back. The winds were absolutely horrible, I think it was like 21 degrees F with like 20 mph winds.  When we got back we ran and jumped right back into the competion. Around hour 19 I had totaled 21 ...

Morning max out clean 215 , I failed 225 3 times. Got under it just couldn't squat it up. max out push press 8 x 155 • Sleep 7 hours • Body feels good • Notes: 10 pound PR on clean and push press
