Monday 7/26

This was my first tim doing this WOD. I like it, heavy weight combined with body weight movements. The cleans felt good, they got heavy but not too bad... push ups were the hardest part. The rest of it wasnt bad. Oh, other than the fact that I forgot my shorts and had to workout in my thick polyester pants!

WOD

10 Power Cleans #135

20 push ups

30 sit ups

40 squats

5 rounds

Time - 14:24

saturday 7/24

30 Muscle ups... for time!

4:50

not sure what my old time was, but I know this was faster, but what is really cool is that I had full extension on every rep. This was the first time I was able to do that 30 times in a row. Usually, after about half the WOD I just kind of short cut the bottom of the rep... so I dont get fully extended at the bottom. I loved this one, especially doing it correctly!

rest

as many Hand Stand Push ups as possible in 8 mins.

so, my PR was 40 in 5 minutes... but the muscle ups take SO much out of your arms that I knew this would be far from any new personal best...

Total in 8 Mins: 30

Friday 7/23

RAW MILK... delicious bacteria filled goodness!

there is much debate about milk, raw vs homogenized... natural vs processed and so on and so forth.

but after drinking 4 gallons, I have to say I am a pretty big fan. No side effects, just 100% natural milk from grass fed hormone free Jersey Cows.

its pretty cool, you have to shake it before you drink it because the cream rises to the top. I could even make butter... if I was so inclined!

Rest day

Monday 7/19

OK.. so this WOD in no joke... it left a lot of people in the box pissed off, quitting all together and definitely sore for days!!!

All CrossFit workouts are intended to be challenging and no matter how good you are at one skill there will be another where you are weak. Thrusters are and intense full body movement, burpees have the greatest range of motion and are very intensive.... put those together and you have a WOD that is brutal.

on the minuet do 3 burpees, with the remainder of that minuet do as many thrusters as possible with #95.

At the top of the second minuet do 3 more burpees and as many thrusters as possible...

continue until you reach 100 thrusters!

So, my goal was 10 thrusters every minuet. That went great for 3 rounds. 4th round I only got 9, then 6.

That was the first 5 rounds, then last 50 or so thrusters took another 10 minuets.

Time - 15:48

Over all, I was totally happy with my time. It was a sick WOD but those are the best ones...

Sunday 7/18

Sunny with a 100% chance of extreme HEAT!

this is the thermometer INSIDE the box! Sunday afternoon about 1pm I started warming up for FGB and was instantly soaking wet with sweat... so I check out the temp only to find out it was triple digits... so, why exactly did I decided to move back to Texas?!?

FIGHT GONE BAD

(FGB)

1 minute of each of the following:

Wall balls #25

Sumo Deadlift high pull #75

Box jumps 24''

Push press #75

Row (for calories)

rest

3 rounds

count reach rep and add total reps accomplished for score.

first rounds was awesome, felt great and pullin in 107 total reps. the 1 minuet rest felt good, but I quickly realized it wasn't enough... The second round it hit and I slowed way down, I finished 76 reps.

the 3rd round was just trying to survive! I was pretty surprised at how hard it hit me, I knew I would get the same number of reps but I didnt expect to drop off as much as it did, 65 reps.

Total Score: 248

Im gonna redo this WOD soon, I know I can get close to 300... thats my goal at least!

Filthy Fifty!!!

It doesn't really get any better than the filthy 50... its an infamous CF wod and a killer one at that. I remember the first time I did it I was in a "globo gym" and I forgot the burpees, couldn't even do double unders and it took foreverrrrr to finish.

about 5 mins after finishing I realized I didnt to the burpees and did like 3 and said, screw it, Ill do them next time.

I have come a long way since then!

50 box jumps 24''

50 jumping pull ups

50 KB swings #35

50 lunges

50 Knees to elbows

50 push press #45

50 back extensions

50 wall balls #20

50 burpees

50 double unders

the back extensions almost killed me... i couldnt walk over to the wall balls after I got done with them!

Time: 24:35, pr by several minutes!
