21-15-9
Deadlift (102.5/70kg)
HSPU’s
10:19 Rx (almost)
First time I’ve done “Diane” Rx – or almost. I scaled the HSPU’s to one abmat after the
first 5 reps as my shoulders are still aching from Saturday’s sessions – and
are being a little wonky. Cam tried to
tell me that I wasn’t doing HSPU’s at all but I just dismissed him. Nope, I knew I could manage – definitely feeling
them today though – pretty sure my arms are still shaking.
Initial plan was to break the deadlifts into three sets of 7
on the first round then 8-7 (or three sets of 5 depending on how I felt) then
5-4 if possible. I was facing across the
room and could see Brendo doing his heavy deads and when I got up to 7 no one
else in the room had put the bar down yet so I decided to keep going. I thought that 11-10 would be fine but then threw
in one more rep before putting it down so I’d only have 9 to go when I picked
it up. Two sets done, not too bad.
On to the HSPU’s. As
I said, I had an abmat with the green plates and was going to try and go Rx but
my kip was off and my shoulders were screaming – I did 5 reps then figured if I
was to get anywhere near finishing in the 10 minutes that I’d have to
scale. Still I struggled but got them
done – no big sets at all – I think 3’s at most when I could sometimes
singles. Like I said, my kip was crap.
The second round of deadlifts were solid. One quick break as I was starting to feel it
a lot – again still in my arms just from the hanging weight. Back to the HSPU’s and agony, struggling
through. I think I had about 90 seconds
or less when I started the round of 9. Coach
Scotty said that he’d let us continue over the time cap if we were almost done
and I wanted to get there. I quickly finished
off the deadlifts then went straight into the HSPU’s, I tried to string two
together and failed the second. Oops. I tried to get it done under 10 minutes but
couldn’t. I just needed to rest more in
between reps in order to actually complete them which sucked. I did however get it done and was quite happy
about that. I’d definitely like to try
her again when my shoulders aren’t so fried.
On the upside though – pretty sure my shoulders are getting huuuuge…
feels like it at least… haha.
