So here it is November 18 and I have fallen behind on my blog inserts.  Training has been going very well - but by the time I am finished in the evening - get my kids settled in, spend some time with my wife - yikes I forget the blog.   So the last 2 weeks of highlights:
1.  Last Saturday I attend the Don M weightlifting clinic held at Brandon's gym.  It was very informative to say the least.  Lots of info for me to work with since I have spent so many years using the wrong technique that i have to re-learn the new movement pattern.

2. My met con ability is improving as well.  The workouts have me focusing on more intensity - rather than the longer grinds that I used to do often.

3. My over all strength seems slow to develop.  It is coming - but I am some what impatient as usual.

4. A new 1RM Thruster of 170lbs after a 10min intensity set.

5. I am doing doubles 3-4x each week which I really love since I am used to high volume.

6. My goats still are:
- Muscle Ups
- Double Unders
- HSPU's are hit or miss but I can't complete large numbers of them

7. I did Brandon's lunch time workout on Saturday.  4x:
- 5 CTB
- 10 STOH @135
- 10 cals Row
- 5 Hang Sq. Cl. @135
Time was 9:57.  Felt pretty good though I dropped the weight from 155 to 135.

So Monday Training:
AM: Some small work and then 14min rowing - 30sec hard/30sec easy

PM: Back squat work for a 10RM - did 230.  Then followed with squat clean cluster work- hold 3sec in the hole.  Did 135, 145, 155, and 165.  Followed with 5x: 5 thrusters @125 and 7 CTB.  I was able to do all rounds of thrusters unbroken.  Then followed with a 10min rest.  Then establish a 1RM thruster.  I was able to get 170 - excited about that.  Just missed 175.

Finally got the go ahead to get an Iphone - now doing videos of my training will be so much easier.
