Back!

The plan was to make a post as soon as I got back from Fuengirola, but work happened, then I opted to watch the regionals all weekend and then more work happened. The only reason I am actually writing this post is that I can't sleep(clowns will eat me).

Fuengirola was awesome and I would definitely do it again given the option. The best parts were the "rest day" when we went up La Concha without having any clue(most of us survived) and the beach WOD where we made an attempt to drown(we failed miserably). The only improvement I would suggest is more training!

After the trip I got right back to training since rest is dangerous and should be avoided.

Thursday started with 3x7minutes AMRAP. Pullups and HSPU didn't feel too good due to my elbows not liking some of the stuff we did in Fuengirola, but Ring Dips worked better than usual. Weird.

I got home reasonably early so I decided to join the running WOD. The WOD was 1 work / 1 rest, 300 meters run with slamball, 300 meters running backwards. 7 rounds of that. Surprisingly enough running with slamball got easier (or at least more comfortable) over time and there was no weird pain in my shins afterwards....







Friday's team WOD included a lot of running as well which felt reasonably good despite Thursday's activities. The wod was an AMRAP cash in(a dozen different options) followed by a run. I managed 12 runs over the 40 minutes which is slightly better than I expected.

Saturday's WOD included a lot of lunges which suck, a lot of gymnastics (that my elbows didn't like) and some wallballs where we hit the time cap....

Bear complex is fun. It was even more fun that I managed to PR it this Sunday (85 kg). The WOD was a lot of fun, but high rep bear complex is really hard (who'd'a' thunk it ).

Hang squat snatch is highly technical. I can do technical things when my heart rate is low, but when it goes up technique goes out the window. So my hang squat snatches turned into hang power followed by overhead squat which required a bit more work...

Tuesday included some weird stuff like weighted plank which turned out to be as hard as expected. The hard part was getting to 3 minutes. Our first interval was 50 seconds, but after that we could only do 20 seconds at a time which demanded quite a few sets...



















Wednesday we got to practice our max lifts. This time it was BTN Split Jerk which I really enjoy. I did a double at 85 and followed up by a single at 95 (new PR). 100 doesn't feel that far away....

When we got into the box Thursday morning we thought that somebody forgot to clean the whiteboard after Wednesday's Competition group but it turned out that we were the ones that were supposed to do it. Surprisingly enough we managed and we didn't even have to scale anything.

While in Fuengirola I missed Systembolaget's latest beer release that I had to catch up to. Unfortunately the only interesting beer was Death From Above and while the idea was great (a fruity IPA with chili) the implementation is lacking. This beer would be much better with more hops and more chili
