OPT Trainig Day 3

It was an early start today, getting up at 6am to head out hunting for the morning. Nothing ended up happening though I found several fresh scrapes and plenty of prints, it seems like the white tail rut this year is going to end without me bagging anything. I had my chance earlier and missed, which I'm still upset about.

After hunting I came home and took the pup for a 5km run, he did quite well considering he only has 3 legs. I didn't have to wait for him or drag him along at all, he even set the pace on the hills for me, though it was a casual one.

Later after Leslie and I got back from Cranbrook I focused in on today's training session. I had purchased 90lbs of weight so I could put together a kettle bell type contraption together, it costed about half the price as a kettlebell and I I got a large range of weight

Wam-up:

50 x SDHP
30 push-ups
25 x 55# KBS
30 dips
25 x 55# KBS
10 pull-ups (static)

Day 2 Results:

a1. 175, 185, 195, 205, 225(F on PP)
b1. 78#, 83#, 83# thats all the weight i've got.
b2. 12/10/10
c1. consecutive
c2. new skill here, broken groups.

I'm a little confused with the tempo aspect. I started off with the HSPU at the proper tempo but quickly ended up at failure around rep 6 but continued to push through to the 12/10 rep range. I'm unsure of whether you should just stop once you've broken the tempo or keep pushing. I should probably just read the FAQ.

The Cleans/presses/jerks all felt great. I knew I shouldn't have jumped so much on that last one, 215 would have been totally feasible and I almost killed myself with the 225lb weight. The clean went well, the push press failed on the first try, I tried a second time and ended up pushing it to far back forcing me to quickly jump in front of the bar to avoid a skull smashin' Oh well, guess that's just the way it goes, thank goodness for good shoulder flexability.
