This E-programing is hard stuff. Harder than I expected and is leaving me feeling totally gassed and sucking air each WOD. Its great to get some new workouts and a new format. I am definitely feeling sore and worn out but also stronger and faster each day.

Monday 1/3

first WOD at the fire station... it was interesting doing a workout w/ 2 guys walking on a treadmill, one guy doing bench press and another leg press. They kept talking about how hard the workout looked and were worried b/c I had a strange water like substance dripping off my head!

(Meeting Chris Spealler, personal hero, at the coaches prep class)


WOD
"Nate"
#115 push press
Subbed burpees for Box jumps
Subbed DB swing for KB

it was definitely hard workout, and even harder trying to not look like a psycho going all out in front of the guys on my first shift!

Thursday 12/29

WOD:  "Diane"

45 HSPU was gonna be hard... and it was. The deadlift went great, all rounds were unbroken. But the handstand push ups were a different story. The first round I got 3 sets of 5 then a couple at a time till 21.

Second round was sets of two, then lots of one at a time. Then, for some reason the last round of 9 wasn't too bad. But my traps were rocked!



WOD:
"Diane"
21-15-9
Deadlift #225
Handstand Push-ups

7:28 RX


wednesday 12/28

Death By Kettlebell swings


So, the RX for this was #54, which I thought might go on for a while... so I scaled up the weight to #70. By the 15 and 16th round my shoulders and grip were going fast. Managed to get through the 18th round, but that was it. I dont think I could have gripped the KB one more time!

As an interesting twist, thanks to Karen, aka, "frogger", the CF football coach, I finished off the wod with a 30 second rest then max KB swings at #54. I got 30, but this time it was my lungs that were gone!

Death By KBS
#70
Finished 18 rounds
+30 at #54
