Spent the weekend on the rower and on mobility. We have a fun week planned of thrusters (will Fran show up?) so ai spent time on shoulder and arm flexibility. Tomorrow night is thrusters 5x5 and I would like to make it to 155 if possible. An easy frot squat and press weight but put the two together and uh oh.
Sunday WOD
Row 5000 meters
Not that fun in a garage when the temp is 19. Had to get the kerosene heater out and go for it. 21:20 which is a 1:22 PR. I need to pull this one out sooner than the 11 1/2 months I did it last.
Otherwise, an excellent weekend. Girls and I did breakfast with Santa this morning and had a blast. I am typing this entry while the girls are decorating the tree. I was given strict instructions that I cannot participate in it this year nor see it until they are done.

Push Press / SFH / Juicer
Push presses were nice. Pattnered up with Sam who is 2" taller than I am.
WOD
Push Press
5-2-2-2-1-1-1-1
Essentially the plan is to get to your one rep max. My last max on this was 255 and I was hoping to get at least to that tonight but during the last rep of 2 my right wrist started to bother me which affected my grip. Had a planned rep at 225 which I did not get under so I essentially just went ahead and pressed it up. Krystal (trainer that night) started laughing and was astonished that I did a straight press of 225. Bumped up to 235 and then decided to mot go higher to avoid further injury. At the end of the day I need to work on grip strength so I need to get my racquetball back out.
I also used the chocolate SFH recovery mix after the WOD mixed with milk. Overall, I am really satisfied. Thanks John for the suggestion! I ordered a larger quantity of it today.
Lastly, I bought a juicer today to get a bit of a jump start on getting down a few pounds. I tried a recipe from my buddy Pete of apples, ginger and carrots. I was floored at how filling it was.

Oly's and new recovery powder
Multiple reps of Push Press in the box tonight. Should be able to beat my last max rep of 235 pretty easily. It's all about the leg strength in my opinion.
I'm also trying out a new recovery powder tonight after the WOD. It's made by "Stronger Faster Healthier." I'll try it tonight and see how it works.
