More Yosemite training
5/4/10 - The highest quality Barbell you're going to find on the top of a mountain!
Time to stop messing around with my training.
Did a triple session today on top of a 5 mile ascent and 5 mile descent at Yosemite falls, 2,700 ft. altitude change.
AM training:
Set the rings up for muscle ups and
1..
2...
3..
Stop!
The first muscle up I did ended up pulling the tree down. Besides being hilarious it ended up being alright, I wasn’t hurt and found another spot, sorry for that Yosemite.
Muscle ups 10, 8,6,4,2
Jump Rope Double Unders 40,40,40,40,40
1 round of 10 muscleups and then followed by 40 double unders, then 8 muscleups and 40 double unders and so on.
Finished in 8:05
Noon training - altitude training! I did this one on the top of Yosemite falls, very make shift session
30 burpee pullups - to a tree branch
30 Giant branch Zercher Squats
30 Explosive pushups
30 Giant branch walking lunges
30 Situp to jump
Finished in 9:58 - very difficult after the hike. Cool place to train.
Evening training: Felt like dump after descending the mountain, but I’m trying to improve my work capacity so I saddled up, stopped feeling sorry for myself, ate a bunch, and then did this..
Hill Sprints: 100 yards uphill 4 x as fast as possible
Thoroughly exhausted after this. I just know someone else out there is working harder then me. Can’t let that happen!

So I think I have realized what your winning edge to the Regional Cross-Fit Competition is!.....Exciting.....Ok,so you have hopefully adjusted to the altitude and have lots of extra RBCs floating around from your high-altitude training. Not sure how long these effects will last, I'll look into it. If not long, you make have to high-tail it back to the east coast from west-coast mountains in time for your competition and the win! Plan?
Done!
