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

Row 500 meters
135 pound Power clean, 12 reps
95 pound Thruster, 15 reps

CFWU less Pull-ups x 2

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

Tweet

Run 400 meters
30 Box jump, 24 inch box
30 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball

CFWU x 2

36:55

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.
