Performed the following couplets:

Hspu on paralletes
One arm chin up

Bulgarian ring push ups
Bulgarian ring pull-ups

Sets were a buy-in on the rings then the hspu and oac's dictated the number on the rings for 6 rds of 12 reps each.

This seems to be a good evaluation.

Meticulous detail. At one point my knee didn't touch the ground so I didn't count that lunge and took an extra step. Box jumps landed in the center of the box and wall balls all hit above the target. My HSPU were all head to deck. Brutal WOD. Reminded me of why I do crossfit.

250 double unders. NOT for time since every f@!*ing person in the box wants to chit chat with the 0530 instructor abt why my class is so bad ass. Well come see me, pussies! I'll show u why. Ha ha.

22 in a row with this new rope. That's terrible. Did 40 the other day.


- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
Push press 5x5

175. Failed on rd 4 but pushed it out on 5 again. Not bad for throwing my body weight overhead. Slightly tweaked my back.

I'm surpised that I had the strength since I have been cutting body fat down to around 3% lately. I'm starting to wonder if an 8 pack is worth the loss of energy and muscle mass costs. Gonna increase protein and fat consumption this week since if seems to have no effect on body fat storage. Rather it improves my performance so far. Oh that and time. I'll reassess in Feb with some benchmarks.

50 ring dips after that. It's been awhile since I've posted photos. Actually, since June 2008. Here is an update.





From 2 weeks ago








How do you define progress? I wonder if true progress is made this way or with strength gains? Can we have both and is a decrepit old coastie a good example?

Complete seven rounds for time of:

Subbed SDHP for all rounds. Had to stop and coach at times but still a brutal wod.

37:09

While I usu don't bitch, I need to say that I was around geeks all effin weekend. Not that I'm not a geek. I am. But doing a hotel wod in the lobby in Springfield while I was at Skepticon is absolutely no comparison to throwing down in the box. I missed my Crossfit family and my 0530 class. I'm reminded of why I gave up my ex and her daughters. Why I gave up my family. I have been resenting that lately alot and trying to rationalize why I made her leave. I suppose it's fair to admit I'm still getting over it. But I know now that it was worth the sacrifice. I would have been miserable to sacrifice crossfit for her. It's as much a part of my life as breathing is. I might not be the fastest or the most elite, but I need this. It's one of the best choices I've made in a long time. And it can't help but aid in getting off the destructive path I was on all this summer. I'm quickly realizing I'm healing. The scars will remain cause I loved her daughters. But I think I'm done looking back.

Not sure how long it took but we sat her down, finished the WOD and by that time Sara decided I needed to take her to the ER. Luckily, she didn't have any fractures and will just be tender for a bit. Sucked my sis had to get hurt tho, but at least she'll be ok.

12:17

This sucked. I'm still not 100% and my mouth is dry as hell from the meds I'm takin. I finished and almost puked. Good group to puke with though. I need to practice my burpees.

We did back squat. Mark was a good instructor on my form. He's a sharp fella with lotsa knowledge. I didn't squat much cause of the back but I think I learned how to do it better.

Tweet

Thursday, March 04, 2010

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this folks. I just haven't had the time. Been doin some great WOD's though. I'll try to keep them posted. On Monday, I tweaked my back which has pretty much laid me out for the week. I'll try to get back on it tomorrow, but I'm not gonna risk it if I don't feel right. No need to miss out on more work by getting impatient. I definitely don't feel bad about being retired from the military at this point. Just because I'm an athlete doesn't mean it's not there. And it sucks. Big time. Rehab for a bit.

Tweet

Thursday, February 25, 2010

Tweet

Monday, February 22, 2010

Today's WOD's:

30 Muscle-ups for time.

Over 20 min. I think I might need to hang the rings higher. Sucked. Multiple failures.

10 thrusters 95lb
10 Burpees

10:20

Tweet

Saturday, February 20, 2010

Well...were should I start? Been at the new gym workin my ass off. Here is a run down:

Wed:

CFWU x 2

"Tabata This!"

Tabata Row
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Squat
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Pull-up
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Push-up
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Sit-up

The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for 8 intervals.
Tabata score is the least number of reps performed in any of the eight intervals. Unit for the row is "calories".

Post Tabata score for each exercise to comments and total for final score.
E.G., 10, 22, 9, 15, 15 = 71

40. I shoulda waited to do this with the class, but I didn't cause there was a miscommunication. It prolly woulda been a higher score if I did.

Thurs.

Skills day.

Warm-up then Overhead Squat

3-3-3-3-3 reps

95-135-135-135-155

Fri.

Warm-up

Then Group WOD:

Row 500m
45lb SDHP
Push-ups
44lb KB swings

We added up the scores after two rounds with 5 people on each station. My rowing really took off cause I was up against two of our trainers who are in great physical condition.

I was beat after this. I'm gonna heal up tomorrow and get back on it on Monday.

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Tweet

Thursday, February 11, 2010

Back from working on the new gym and dealing with family issues. Does Muscle-ups, pull-ups, and beer count? Things are busy. This is todays:

Five rounds for time of:
Row 500 meters
135 pound Power clean, 12 reps
95 pound Thruster, 15 reps

CFWU less Pull-ups x 2

34:06

Brutal but I got to use my new lifting shoes. I'll be glad to shave off minutes once I can use bumpers.

Tweet

Friday, February 05, 2010

21-18-15-12-9-6-3 rep rounds of:
135 pound Sumo deadlift high-pull
Pull to inverted hang and lower as slowly as possible

I subbed Knees-to-elbows cause I didn't have rings.

CFWU x 2 less pull-ups.

Tweet

Thursday, February 04, 2010

"Kelly"

Five rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
30 Box jump, 24 inch box
30 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball

CFWU x 2

36:55

Run was on a treadmill. Still bad ass.

Tweet

Tuesday, February 02, 2010

Forgot to post yesterdays WOD. I've been too busy working on the Crossfit gym:

120 Pull-ups
120 Dips

22:22 with some major interference in the globo-gym.

Today:

CFWU lite x 2

250 Double-unders: 11:40 Better than last of 13:35 Still unable to complete 50 uninterrupted.

Seven rounds for time of:
95 pound Power snatch, 7 reps
95 pound Snatch balance, 7 reps
95 pound Overhead squat, 7 reps

During round 3, I had to reduce the weight to the bar for snatch balances cause I wasn't holding onto it. I'll be glad to have bumper plates.

42:30

Tweet

Monday, January 25, 2010

Three rounds for time of:
50 Double-unders
50 Back extensions

Stretching and squats for a warm-up.

15:49

My doubles got off on a bad start and I may have tweaked my back. I finished the WOD, hoping the back extensions would loosen the tightness. Planned on doing more, but this might put me out a few days or I might recover enough to get on it tomorrow.

Tweet

Sunday, January 24, 2010

Took two days off to heal.

CFWU x 2 lite

30 Muscle-ups

30:20

Evidently the rest didn't do me any good. I did have a few beers last night, so that wasn't helpful.

90 Pull-ups
90 Dips

15:34

I broke this up into sets of 5's. During the Muscle-ups, I failed almost as much as I completed, so this sucked. Well, you get what you pay for, and I paid for beer.

Tweet

Thursday, January 21, 2010

"Annie"

50-40-30-20 and 10 rep rounds of:
Double-unders
Sit-ups

CFWU less sit-ups x 2

15:15

Anchored sit-ups on the floor.

Not as good as last time of 14:02 but I lost the grip on the rope and had to do sit-ups on a very hard plastic. This wasn't good for my tailbone, which is raw, so now I get to smear neosporin in my ass.

Tweet

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Yesterday was a heal day. Today, pain.

CFWU lite x 2

19 Muscle-ups: 14:00

I kept failing, so I switched and finished up with pull-ups and dips

Then:

"Cindy"

AMRAP 20 min

5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

14 rounds, 2 pull-ups.

I was drained.

Tweet.

Monday, January 18, 2010

250 DU's

13:35 Slight improvement.

Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3 reps

135-225-245-285-315

The back snapped and popped on the last few, but I maintained good form.

30 forty lb DB TGU's

11:35 managed to maintain great control even when my forearms tired.

Good WOD.

Tweet

Sunday, January 17, 2010

30 MU's for time

about 14:36-forgot my timer.

Then, 90 pull-ups and 90 dips no timer

CFWU lite x 2

10 forty pound TGU's then I lost control and dumped the dumbbell on the ground. I decided to stop there.

Getting over the stomach bug still but I think my gut is starting to absorb proteins. At least I hope. Gonna increase the eating. I want to wake early and workout then do another WOD in the evening. I just have to get the proper rest and discipline to do it.

Tweet

Saturday, January 16, 2010

Well it seems I've gotten ahold of a stomach flu. I'll try again tomorrow...

Thursday, January 14, 2010

250 Double-unders:

13:52

I originally planned to do Nancy, but there was no place to sprint, so I subbed 100 single-unders, attempted to keep most of them alternating leg(my calves gave out from so many jumps and I have to go to standards):

OHS 95lbs 15 reps
100 single-unders
OHS 95lbs 15 reps
100 single-unders
OHS 95lbs 15 reps
100 single-unders
OHS 95lbs 15 reps

19:40

Had to quit but I just added something else to my list of things to practice. But I did get some good practice in and really was cranking them out. I did this on a tennis court and got to dodge a few balls too, which delayed my time.

Tweet

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

Took yesterday off to heal.

50 Doubles for warm-up

30 Muscle-ups: 12:37

Not as good as last time of: 11:24

I'll take it.

Then:

50-40-30-20-10 reps of:

Walking lunges
10 lb Hammers on a tire.

11:35

Finish:

Thirty 30lb Turkish Get-ups.

Good day at the gym.

Tweet

Monday, January 11, 2010

Power clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

CFWU x 2

95-135-185-185-205-205-225*-225*

*failed so I did several 135lb power cleans for practice.

Did about 25 double unders and had to stop so I finished with alternating singles.

Did 50 swings of a 10lb sledge on a tire. First time I ever did that. Very bad ass, but I'm worried I fucked my arms up again. Might take it easy tomorrow cause I feel damaged.

Tweet

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Three rounds for time of:
50 Wall-ball shots with 20-pound ball to ten-foot target
25 Pull-ups

CFWU x 2 lite Subbed 20lb DB thrusters for a wall-ball.

25:36

I had to cut this one down to 3 rounds cause my right calf is acting up. Oh and the rest of my upper body is wrecked. I guess this is the shock of getting back into it after being sick for so long.

I made a poor attempt at muscle-ups of which I only got 4 off. What was I thinking after the DB thrusters? My arms went into failure and still ache. I suppose this is just the process. I guess I should know better. My lungs seems to be holding up. Unlike yesterday when I felt like I was going to vomit.

Tomorrow's another day.

Tweet

Saturday, January 09, 2010

Five rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters(ran .3 miles due the treadmill only went up in 10ths of a mile)
25 GHD Sit-ups
25 Hip Extensions

CFWU lite x 2

28:14

I am trying to get over some bronchitis that I picked up, so I haven't been able to throw down that well. I attempted to do some double-unders, but my forearms were not having it. The rings were merely a thought, but this one really taxed my lungs. I suppose these are the things we run into in life. I'll try again tomorrow. The good news is I'm melting the fat off my body. Switching out complex carbs is doing it fast.

Tweet

Wednesday, January 06, 2010

Three rounds for time of:
12 Muscle-ups
75 Squats

CFWU lite

32:06

The last round, I had to cut it off at 9 MU's then do the squats, and then finish the MU's. I guess I attracted alot of attention, since two boxers wanted to play on the rings. They did really well though. Better than myself when I was learning to do the MU. I damaged my wrists showing them again and again, so now I have to figure out how to MU with damaged wrists. I intend to train MU's every day to get it down.

Tweet

Monday, January 04, 2010

120 pull-ups
120 Dips

CFWU lite x 2

27:28

Better time than last and trained Jamie with the warm-up. She's gettin her squats down.

Tweet

Sunday, January 03, 2010

Damn if I need new lungs. What is it with the Holiday season that is full of cheer and lung problems? I made some poor attempt to do 50 Muscle-ups and could only get off 5. Based on the garbage I've put in my body and a lung infection from the "season", I suppose I'll try again tomorrow. Fuckin cough is kickin my ass. Damn this Ohio valley. Oh and it's 1 degree in my garage gym. Normally not an excuse, but doesn't help when you are hacking and coughing. Epic fail today.
