Hang Cleans, Weight Pullups

Today's WOD:

Heavy Hang Cleans: 3-3-3-3-3

Dead hang Weighted Pullups: 3-3-3-3-3
Getting a good solid pause at the bottom, chin way over bar, 25lbs

Between rounds:
Burpees: 5-5-5-5-5

I did a few burpees in my warmup and then did 5 between rounds, did the last few sets with a CrossFit games style pushup at the bottom. I'd already done pullups, but wanted to do more, slow pull with a good pause at the bottom, total dead hang, lower body as limp as possible.

Hang cleans were pretty solid:

155-156-175-195-205

Very pleased with that.

Grilled Chicken & Grilled Peaches with Blackberry Sauce

Found this recipe recently, modified it a bit. We eat very little sugar, so I don't have a problem with it being in the sauce. I used canola instead of vegetable oil, and I would recommend cutting back on the salt, it was too much (in my opinion).

I used my regular grill, not charcoal, and I did not do kabobs. I made the sauce as instructed, and applied the seasoning mix to the chicken, and cooked on the grill. I mixed up a second batch of the seasoning and brushed on the sliced peaches, grilling them for a few minutes when I new the chicken was almost done. The combination was outstanding. We've been doing a lot of meat/fruit combinations or meat with some kinds of fruity salsa, great stuff for summer grilling.

My kids, well, my daughter ate nearly a whole chicken breast, and my son (the fruit man) ate 3-4 slices of peach, all of the sauce we gave him...but no chicken..the dude will keep eating fruit if we keep giving it to him!

Happy cooking!

Deads and Broads

Been a little quiet on the blog here, I've been getting some miles in on the bike, got about 1100 miles in, shooting for 2000.

In any case, I did not ride the bike today as I am giving the legs a rest after a pretty nice trail ride last night. So, you know what that means:

DEADLIFT.

I almost always do a deadlift based WOD of some sort every week, at least that's my goal. Today was the deadlift day!!

7 Rounds
7 Deadlifts, 275lbs
7 toes to bar
7 broad jumps, max effort (at least 6 ft)

19:08 was my time. I didn't have the lungs to push much faster, it's definitely one that I could improve.

Out.
