For time.

Then 1 round of each for Chesty and another good year.

42:06 but the WOD was interrupted cause my dumbass threw a 45 lb plate and it hit an abmat. Then it rolled straight to Sara's tibia. 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.

Five rounds for time of:
3 Muscle-up Handstand push-ups
10 Burpee pull-ups

Ideally, the pull-up bar is one foot above your reach. If you cannot do the muscle-up handstand push-ups, do 7 muscle-ups and 12 handstand push-ups each round.

Fuck me. Did the first round rx'd but at the start of the 2nd about yanked my spine out. Had to sub and then I thought it was 10 HSPU. Still did the mu at 7. Worst wod ever. Will redo rx'd.

Did gymnastics training today. No time. 40 HSPU and 40 ring pull ups with transition to Muscle-up. Dead hang only no kip. As soon as I failed on rings after 30 on each, transitioned to HSPU on 45lb plates with nose to ground to full extension lock outs and Bulgarian ring pull ups. May try to practice this again today but ring HSPUs are pretty brutal.

I didn't count reps that didn't hit the box with feet all the way on the box or didn't hit the wall on wall balls. I coulda beat everyone elses time I'm sure but I think going the extra mile is more important.

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

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

5x5 bench and shoulder press after the warm up then 4 rounds:

Today's WOD's:

Then CFWU-ish and some squat and dip practice.

10 thrusters 95lb

10:20

Sucked. I hate Burpees.

Tweet

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

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.

From Yesterday at the new gym:

30 Muscle-ups

14:56

Row 500m
50 Squats
40 Push-ups
30 Sit-ups
20 Wall-balls
10 Pull-ups

6:53

This was our introductory WOD and opening day.

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

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.

"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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Tweet

Yesterday was a healing day. Much needed after the damage from Mon. Getting back into it after that cold was a bitch. So I did strictly skill practice today:

Snatch 7-7-7-7-7
Squat Clean 7-7-7-7-7
Deadlift 7-7-7-7-7

65-95-95-95-95
65-95-95-95-95
95-95-95-95-95

50 double-unders for warm-up.

I made sure to focus on form, something I often don't take the time to do. It's gonna be skill practice for awhile. I think this should happen more often with Crossfit and we lose sight of an important aspect of training if we don't.

Tweet

"Annie"

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

Stretching, Squats, and 50 SDHP's for warm-up

Sit-ups were anchored on the ground.

14:02

Previous time: 16:58

Not sure if this is a PR cause I didn't type what the sit-ups from last time were. Still a good workout. Took it easy cause I'm still coughin up my lungs.

Tweet

120 pull-ups
120 Dips

CFWU lite x 2

32:36

Still coughing my lungs up so this one was pathetic. At least I finished. Snatches tonite.

Tweet

Still coughing up my lungs. I guess I'll wait til after xxxmas.

No clock so I counted-31-37-30

Not too bad a WOD. I'm sick so I missed yesterday.

Tweet

30 Muscle-ups: 11:24

New PR! Pulled it thru on the last one. Almost didn't get the transition, but my shoulders are getting stronger. The first 8 were done as doubles. In other words, I managed to muscle-up, come down to starting position without touching the ground, and muscle-up again. Failed on #10, but will continue to practice this. My hands, while scabbed, are not shredded. So that's a big plus.


Previous:
14:29

Off to do some Pull-ups and Dips with Jeffy.

10:56

New PR! Did this with some of the members of the Crossfit group here in Evansville.

Tweet

Can someone please give me a way out? Cause I'm losin it. Here I am in Indiana with a woman that is demanding me to be someone I am not. Jamie, my gf, my love is pushing me to the edge. She demands more than I can offer. I do my best to support her, but she demands me to cater to her every whim and desire of affection. WTF? I give her affection when we go to bed. She has twin girls. How can I rightly step in and interfere with their attention from their mother? I'm not their father, though I'm jealous that I'm not. Maybe if I had them as my own it would be easier. I seriously think this was a huge fuckin mistake. I love all 3 of them, and do what I can. Why demand I give more when I'm trying to adjust to the whole family thing? Jamie says I couldn't handle having a kid with her. She's right. With her. If I had a kid with a more sane woman, I could do it just fine. I just need to ease into this shit. I honestly think that Jamie needs a man that is more submissive and bends to her will. What a mess I've gotten myself into. Now there are kids involved and I'm going to break their little hearts.

Run 5k

GHD Situps
Back Extensions

100 double-unders for warm-up. Really sucked, I guess I am still getting over this flu thing.

12:32

Did this one with Jeff so we had to share the equipment which meant some time delays. still good though.

Tweet

Edit: subbed SDHP for rows 45lb bar x 100

Well, I attempted to do 30 more muscle-ups, but my wrist failed after 16. I suspect there is more damage under the scab. It's okay though, I have to workout with Jeff tonite, and that'll make up for it. Been sick, but I think I can hack this.

Tweet

400 meter Walking lunge

17:32

CFWU lite-arms are trashed from Linda and yesterday doing the full CFWU with Jeff.

100 double-unders after that. I really had to work to get these done after the lunges. Then 50 singles and 50 running in place. Good skill practice.

Tweet
