Progress Report

After a lax Christmas holiday where I just WOD-ed here and there it was time to tighten up the training as FRAN day nears.  With my return to school date also looming W and I have made some tweaks and have decided that we for the next six weeks I would return to my roots and revisit Starting Strength.  We tested and my 1 RMs have not changed much as you can see I didn't reach the goals I set out to after August, so we go from there.

Front Squat						95

I am on my second week and am remembering very quickly how much mental game is needed to make a PR every time you are lifting.  I would really like to back squat my body weight when this is all done and since my body weight isn't going down much more I have about a twenty pound increase I need to make. 

Three days a week I lift; bench, press, squat and deadlift and we have added in front squat and push press in order to get those heavy as fast as I can as well.  I also work on my dead hang pull up, Lsits to strengthen my grip and box jumps for some volume.  In warm up I work on my kip, my skip, hand stand push ups and my transition from a front squat into a push press with an empty bar.  I have two off days and two days that I just WOD. 

We will see how this goes.....my main priority right now is my lifts that will make my thrusters better and practicing my kip.  Stayed tuned we are taping me with my phone everytime I am on the bar now we are so close!!!!!!
