World Breaker Brett: Having fun

7/31/20- Pure boredom session

Stuck at home all day, no work, no nothing. Not used to a relaxed friday so I went a little stir crazy.

  • Power Clean drills + Some strict Presses 40kg/88lbs x6-8min

  • Power Cleans-
    60kg/132lbs x5 + 1 Strict Press
    80kg/176lbs x4 + 1 Strict Press
    90kg/198lbs x2
    100kg/220lbs x2 (PR)
    110kg/242lbs x2 (PR)
    80kg/176lbs x15 (What the fuck am I a crossfitter now? Friendly competition that I got my ass kicked in, my friend got 20 reps… damn football kids)

Best reason to skip upper body! Strong work Brett, nice work on the power clean PRs as well!

Sometime Last week I forgot the date.

  • Movement Prep x3 Rounds

  • Donkey Calf Raises- (5-5-5-5 Tempo)
    BW x20
    BW +200lbs/90kg x16 + 3 + 3 + 3
    Wanted to get calves out of the way so I made them HEAVY. This calf work has really payed off, I kinda have calves now. Finally swallowed the slow controlled calf work pill and who would’ve guessed… it works.

  • Back Squats-
    Bar x20
    135lbs/62kg x12
    225lbs/102kg x12
    275lbs/124kg x20 PR (Fucking easy, had another 5 in me, 3 plates for 20 might not be as easy though)

Another point during last week-

  • Clean drills x10min

  • Power Cleans-
    60kg/132lbs x5
    80kg/176lbs x5
    100kg/220lbs x2x3
    110kg/242lbs x1 (Was a lot cleaner than last weeks 110kg)

  • Log Clean & Jerk-
    Log x2x5
    160lbs/72.5kg x3
    180lbs/81kg x3
    200lbs/90kg x2x2
    220lbs/99kg x1 ~Belt on~
    240lbs/108kg x2x1
    260lbs/117kg x0 (Would’ve been a PR, seeing as I haven’t touched log in 3 months this was absolutely huge, I just missed lockout, so it’s technical and my body needs to get a little more used to producing force for overhead)

Overall a great transition week.
Started the final block of this program today, will be shooting for: 3 plates x20+ on squat, a stupid high rep set of deadlifts at 405, and a new log max.

I’ve got a great technique for this, skipping.

Not skipping rope, just skip doing calves!

I lurk in here most the time, but goddamn the progress here has been insane! You’re in such a good position to be so strong when you’re older man (as if you aren’t strong now). What’s your current max reps at 405?

Haven’t taken 4 plates for reps yet. I hit a fairly easy single at 405 after a rest pause 355 x12. In the land of what hasn’t happened yet I’d be willing to bet 405 for 4-5 reps would be in the tank,

Edit: If you were wondering deadlifts at 405 a while ago I pulled 405 x7 but haven’t had a chance to pull 4 plates for reps again. Everytime I get up to 405 though whether warming up for a good single or just pulling it for some triples or doubles it gets easier and easier.

    I think I’m ready for 315 x20 rn, but I’m gonna milk this program to get 20+

Also because I’m a vain bastard:

Measuring about 26” mid thigh currently, and my VMO’s block me from seeing my

Not to toot my own horn but this has hands down been one of my most impressive weeks of lifting.
Monday: 315 x22 on squat
Wednesday: 465 x3x1 W/45sec rest on deadlift + 445 x5 PR
