A. 245 on the complex. Clean felt easy and front squat was easy. Catching 245 in the jerk was rough. Arms and shoulders weren't quite right from the weekend. Felt tight up top. Also, I don't know what happened by my traps were the sorest they have ever been lol. Not sure why I was clinching so tight up there this past weekend but I felt it. 
SHSPU: I did 10,10,9,9 again traps kept me from 12 reps each time but still had at least 3 in the tank. UB T2B's on all 4 sets.
RMU's: I did 5 every set with traps lol. UB T2B sets as well.
Accessory was awesome! Went light on Trap raises and only 26lbs on KB punch reps.
Wednesday:
12 Minute amrap:
20 DB walking lunges 50lbs **If these bother your hip AT ALL switch to DB front squats**
20 Row Calories
15 DB Clean and jerk 50lbs
15 Burpee Box Jump overs 24" - Practice new standard!
+
24 Minute EMOM:
1st: 15 Wallball 20lbs
2nd: 10 CTB Pull Ups
3rd: 5 TNG Power Clean 155lbs
4th: 60s AB @ easy pace as rest 
AMRAP: I changed up my breakfast today and my stomach wasn't right most of the day. It sucked during the workout as well. No excuses though I just wasn't moving well for some reason. THE LUNGES CRUSHED my hips and I just felt like I was in quick sand. ONLY 1+58 reps. I could not get 2 rounds and also C&J's with 50lbs were rough. Man, where have those been all my life? I like them but have to get better at those. Lunges set the tone though and they fatigued the shit out of me. Box Jump Overs were not bad even though my hips were gone. 
EMOM: UB WB's and felt great on the hip! UB C2B's even though I didn't feel smooth. TNG Power cleans were easy. Enjoyed this EMOM!
Thursday: Rest 
Hip flexor's are sore. Back is a little sore. Also, my elbows are tender. Nothing a day off won't help. 60 C2B's I think I earned a little soreness. Looking forward to Friday! I MAY BE TRAINING on SAT with JOE and SEAN these other two masters that I competed with at the comp. We will be heading to JOE's gym. Send me what you have but I may change it up if I go over there. Thanks

Friday
4 Minute Row - start at 2:05/500m and build each minute to 85% effort last minute - each set should be identical
1 Minute rest 
4 Minute AB - start at 250W and build each minute to 85% effort last minute - each set should be identical
1 Minute rest x 3 sets
+
25 Minute AB @ 200W
+
Mobility - specificaly hip flexor/hamstring
This went well and I kept all numbers I chose. Row was 2:05,2:00,1:55,1:50 and the AB was 250,275,300,325 and all the sets I stayed on the high end of the RPM's instead of the low end. Meaning a 25 watt increase is two RPM's and stayed on the upper RPM towards the next increase. Hope that makes sense.
Saturday:
A. Banded Box Squats; 3 reps @ 205 for speed; rest 90s x 8 sets
B1. RNT reverse lunges; 10 slow reps; rest as needed
B2. BB Glute Bridge @30x1; 8 reps; rest as needed
B3. 'B1' otherside; rest as needed x 4 sets
+
For time:
21-18-15-12-9 Toes to bar
15 Burpees after each set - 'new' standard
+ Rest 5 Minutes
5 Minute EMOM:
1 Power Clean and jerk 185/205/225/235/245lbs by set **Just 1 rep each minute - but we're adding weight each minute.  Adjust weights as needed towards end if too fatigued - safety first**
+
Mobility
A. Box Squats were fun! Felt great going into T2B workout.
Metcon: 7:02 after I finished the set of 9 T2B's and 7:46 after the last 15 burpees to standard. I broke up every set on T2B's and it didn't slow my burpees. 
EMOM: Hitting 245 was slow but no issues anywhere else. Shoulders opened up more on the jerk as well this time around. 
Sunday: Rest
Complete rest today!

20 Minute Easy AB
AMRAP: 1+73 WB's and I have no idea what I got last time but didn't go ham here. Really just wanted to stay within myself and have a good run at this workout. Broke up WB's a bit with minimal rest like a second, kept row between 1100-1200, did 15's on the DB snatch, and 8,7,8,7 on C2B's. Then just gutted out whatever WB's I could do. At the end I took a knee so I could have gone harder. 
DID NOT GET TO 20MIN EMOM so I did community which had some lightweight DL's, Hang Cleans, and Push Jerks and a ton or rowing. 135 was the weight, teams of 3, so I didn't do anything crazy.

EMOM: It was tough and my back started to light up a bit towards the end but hit all my numbers. My back was fine when I started. Thank god for the last 10 sec to transition to rower. Very clean movement.
BIKE: No issues but on the last set I rested for 10 sec twice on the 3 min AB. My hips were tired and I just didn't have juice in the tank.

1/5/18 - 1/12/18

So with you being that sick we don't want to do anything that is very intense.  I'm going to cut down the sets on Wednesdays training as it shouldn't a big 'breather' so should be ok in general.  Going to have you mainly move on both days with Saturday being a little more intense but not much moreso.  Hopefully you've kicked this thing on Monday and we can start with the DB event for the comp.

Friday:
A1. Deadlift; 8 unbroken reps @255lbs; rest 30s
A2. Wallball; 20 unbroken reps; rest 2 minutes x 4 sets

Saturday:
A. Push Jerk + Split jerk; 2 + 2; rest as needed x 5 sets - build if you'd like but be CAREFUL with hip.  I'm making this a complex with push jerk to roadblock your weight so we can see how split jerking feels on your hip - if it hurts just do push jerks (3 reps) and don't split.
B1. Half Kneeling bottoms up KB Press; 8 slow reps; rest as needed
B2. Pull ups; 15 reps unbroken; rest as needed
B3. 'B1' other side; rest as needed x 4 sets

By the time 1PM hit I was sore as shit but did some mobility and got warm to row. I had 1 minute left in the 1:50 time slot and fell off pace. Just gave up a little because I was winded. Felt great up to that point though.

1st AMRAP: 3 rounds plus 48 and focused on movement until last round. No pain from this stuff. Kept close to 300 on bike
2nd AMRAP: 3 rounds plus 11 DB Snatch. Went a little slower because I wanted to be good on Box every round. I did rebound by mistake. I wish I hadn't because I am sore from it actually as I write this.
