Barbell Club WOD & Paleo Challenge Day 18 

Skipped MisFit WOD today to jump in with the Barbell Club at 5am. It was fun this morning, a good couple workouts I walked away really happy with the results. 

1) Cleans

135, 

4 x 165#

2 x 185#

195 x 1, 1 

205 x 1 

215 x F, F

Not super happy with the fails at 215, but I know I am pretty worn out from the WOD last night at 5pm. the other lifts felt good though and I felt ok where I was today. I just need to spend more time on cleans, end of story. 

---

2A) AMRAP 5

3 OHS 135#
6 T2B

5 rounds + 2 reps

really happy with the OHS, its been SOOO long since I could do those, but they are coming back and it went great. I even just snatched the 1st rep on  3-4 rounds, which was awesome to be able to do. 

Rest 5:00

2B) AMRAP 5

2 Thrusters 135#

2 Bar Facing Burpee

4/4, 6/6, 8/8, etc

10 Thrusters/0 burpees

I was definitely worried about 135# thrusters, but as heavy as they are.... the felt ok! Pleased with the results. 

Paleo Challenge, Day 18

Day 18 of Paleo (mostly). Its also going really well. As I could tell from the WOD, my strength is still up there and the lungs are ok, energy is up and I dont feel wrecked, overly winded, or weak and worn out. 

The results are starting to show, both in the mirror and in the gym!

Skipped MisFit WOD today.

We had 4 responses after midnight last night at the station and after I got "work" done at home and a nap, it was time to coach the 5 & 6pm class. So I just jumped in with them on the MI CrossFit WOD along with some heavy Back Squats.

Felt good today. I tried for big sets on the WBs (got 30 to start). Legs where jello on the Box Jumps. DUs were easy, and MBCs. The lungs finally started to burn on the thrusters and legs really felt all the reps. Got some of the C2B in butterfly, so thats improvement!  and finally, shoulders were just worn out for the power snatch. but had a good workout.

1/20/16 - Intro ROM WOD

1/20/16 -
ROM WOD & MF #849

ROM WOD is getting a lot of attention on social media and with many big name athletes I follow on Instagram. 

I think its a great tool, we all need more mobility and this is an option for getting it done. The best part, kind of like showing up at the gym, is that the WOD is already there, you just have to do it. They are all about 20 minutes and you can feel the difference from start to finish. We'll see how it goes long term.  

ROMWOD in action

1) 1 mile run - DONE

2) Every other min for 10 (5x)

4 Touch & Go Power Cleans 

165, 170, 175, 175, 175#

---

3) 4 legless rope climb
12 Clean & Jerk 145#
3 Legless Rope Climb
9 C & J 145#
2 Legless Rope Climb
6 C & J 145#
1 Legless RC
3 C & J 145#

10:17

Rope climbs felt ok, but they did wear me out, especially the grip. Its a good thing the reps went down or I would have been stuck for a long time on the last few reps. 

somewhat the same with the C&J. The weight wasn't too heavy so the first round was ok but the reps added up on the lungs and I ended up slower than I wanted to go. Need to get faster on the barbell work. 

---

4) 5 Rounds

15 SDLHP 75#
12 Chest to Bar
15 Box Jump Overs

2:10, 2:00, 2:28, 2:19, 2:20

15:17 total

Chest to bar still super hard to connect, I can get them doing kipping but not butterfly when I am winded. Also, the wrench on my shoulders pretty hard, so I need to be sure to really warm up and mobilize before I even try them.
