Crazy 'Bout Crossfit

"Anjolie"

2010-06-18T20:10:00.002-05:00

5 Rounds of:

10 lunges
10 HPC (65#...used bar instead of dumbbells)
10 dips (used bench)

Humidity is killing me...

2010-06-15T08:06:00.002-05:00

Did main site's wod:

Row 500
Bench press, 30 reps (used 55#)
Row 1000m
Bench press, 20 reps
Row 2000m
Bench press, 10 reps

Soaking wet with sweat afterwards and still had to run errands. Yuck! But overall a good workout! :)

Let's try this again...

2010-06-13T14:41:00.002-05:00

Okay, so I've taken another break. Not because I want to but because life is just crazy sometimes. We did squeeze in a workout this morning before coming home to get ready for Em's birthday party. I did mainsite's Elizabeth:

21-15-9
Power Cleans (used 75#)
Ring dips (1 band)

Also did some backsquat: 75x5,85x5,95x5

Weight felt easy on Elizabeth, but was out of breath easily. Worked up a good sweat and felt good. Definately need to work on flexibility and stretching though!

2 posts in one day...?!

2010-05-30T16:37:00.002-05:00

Whoa! Watch out! 2 posts in one day is a miracle. This one is for my workout today. Another mom workout:

30-20-10
Steps ups (6 boxes)
Backsquat (65#)
Dips (bands)

Took me a while to stretch and warm up. My hamstrings were so tight after yesterday's Good Mornings!

Very hot, humid & sweaty! Going tomorrow too...no break this week just cause I need to stay at it and get back into it.

Back at it...

2010-05-30T09:02:00.002-05:00

I've taken a long leave of absence. Why?! A little bit of laziness, pregnancy exhaustion, and business with FRG. So, I'm back at it because the other day I saw cellulite on my legs. Gasp! So, I'm getting back hard core. Or as hard core as I can be. Here's the CF Mom WOD I did yesterday:

Tanner
4 Rounds of:
Row 500m
15 Wall-balls w/14#
15 Good mornings w/45#
15 Squats

Then I worked on BS and DL. Just 5x5...

A little sore this morning but we're going back. :)

Running & Wallballs

2010-03-13T14:07:00.002-06:00

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

400 meter run
40 wall balls with 10# ball

I completed 4 rounds and now I'm exhausted and going to take a nap!!

10 rounds...a bit much!

2010-03-12T08:36:00.002-06:00

Yesterday I did a previous day's workout...

10 rounds of:

135# DL, 15 reps
15 push-ups

I started off with 115#, but ended up having to go down to 95# after round 4. Also started with men's push-ups and ended up having to go to women's push-ups after round 4.

Not even going to mention my time. I know I was doing a lot of talking and not much sucking! :)

So I lied...

2010-03-09T19:20:00.003-06:00

Well, I thought I would be better at blogging and working out, but I was wrong. I walked 6 miles Monday with Dymphna & Michelle and then today did the CF Football workout: Deadlift 5RM (95,115,125,135,145,155...I think that's the order), 3RM Kips (7,10,7). Then ran 4 rounds of 200 M sprints ranging from 43 seconds to 45 seconds. I thought I was going to pass out. Switched to 200 M row sprints for the last 4 rounds, but didn't pay attention to the times.

I do good with my eating, but then I feel like I need that extra bite of something sweet. I feel yuck right now. I'm hoping to get back in the groove....:(

I'm back....

2010-03-01T21:27:00.002-06:00

It's been over a month since my last post. No excuses other than I've been a lazy, no-good bum! :(

I'm hoping if I start blogging again I'll take more responsibility for my actions...or nonactions.

Today I did the alternate WOD because I wanted to take Em to open-play gymnastics.

Split Jerk 7x1

65,75,85,90,95

Barely got the 95#...my old PR is 102# on Push Jerk so I know I've lost strength. Like I said, I hope I can get back in to it and be more dedicated. I had tried the CF Football for a couple weeks, but I skipped a lot of days. I didn't like it...not enough cardio. I know I was supposed to be on a "strength cycle", but I feel like I've gained weight from eating bad and not doing enough cardio.

My weight this morning was 133.2. We'll see if switching back to CF Main will bring my weight back down to 127. Just 6#, but I can tell a difference.

Power snatch & DL/Pull-ups

2010-01-13T08:17:00.002-06:00

PS: 5x3
50,55,60,65,70x2

As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
1 DL (85% of 5rm) - I used 125# (which is not my 5rm...have no idea what that is?!)
1 weighted chin-up (35#) - kips without weight (had a hard enough time getting my body weight up there! )
3 " "
3 " "
5 " "
5 " "

I got in 6 rounds +1 +3+5 DL

BP & BS

2010-01-08T23:12:00.002-06:00

WOD

BP 5x5: 45,55,65,70,75x4
BS 5x5: 65,85,95,115,135

My biceps and lats are soooo sore!! I can hardly straighten my left arm...

No strength today...just cardio!

2010-01-06T15:09:00.003-06:00

Rest day for Strength, but I decided to do some cardio and did the main WOD.

WOD

5 rounds for time:
50 Wall-balls w/20# ball (I used 10#)
25 Pull-ups (I used 3 bands)

My time was 43:43. Felt very sluggish and weak, but I guess you have to start somewhere...right?!

Power Snatch

2010-01-05T17:08:00.003-06:00

Power Snatch
5x3

My loads were 45,50,55,60,65x2

I was freezing my butt off this morning so I skipped the suck-fest and took Em to gymnastics with all of her friends. I'm glad we went...she had a blast and was so excited to see all of her friends!

I was going to go back this evening, but she just woke up from her nap at 4:45. I think she's still catching up on lost sleep from Christmas vacation.

Not sore...but there's always tomorrow.

Yes...I'm still alive!

2010-01-04T23:14:00.003-06:00

It's been a while...between getting a sinus infection that lasted a whole month and the row challenge I have been M.I.A.

Today I started my strength cycle...

Here's what my workout looked like:

SP: 55 (x5), 60 (x5), 65 (x3)

BS: 85 (x5), 115 (x5), 125 (x5)

Then I did 8 intervals of 30 sec on/30 sec off on the rower...something I thought I wouldn't say for a while after the row challenge.

Wonder how sore I'll be tomorrow after a month hiatus?!

Deadlift 5x5

2009-11-20T13:56:00.002-06:00

WOD

Deadlift 5x5

135,145,155,165,175

Decided to do sets of 5 rather than singles since I haven't been in the gym in 2 weeks. Didn't want to try for a PR when I knew it most likely wasn't going to happen. It felt good to do the sets of 5.

Not too bad of a workout for first day back...now I'm scared to see what tomorrow brings.

Snatch & Pull-ups

2009-11-08T08:03:00.001-06:00

WOD

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

65# Snatch, 12 reps
10 Push-ups

Used 21# and completed 12 rounds. I think the 21# might have been a little light but Trey and Oak assured me I'd start feeling it after a couple rounds. I did feel it, but I think I could have still gone up a little bit in weight.

My brother and his wife were in town so we brought them with us. They both did really good for 1st time Crossfitters. I'm going to call them later on today to see how sore they are...:)

Pull-up Ladder

2009-11-06T07:25:00.002-06:00

WOD

With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two the second minute, three the third minute...continuing as long as you are able.

Post minutes.

Did 9 pull-ups/minutes. I always get confused in what to post on this one. Ended up ripping my hands in exact same place as a few days ago...so now I have sores on top of sores. Going to take a break from pull-ups for a little while.

Also, for some strange reason I can't just copy and paste anymore in my blog. Before I would copy the WOD from the CF Clarksville Blog and paste it into mine...not working anymore. Won't paste! Anyone else having this problem?

CF Football

2009-11-04T21:17:00.002-06:00

WOD

12 Deadlifts, 135#
50 yard sprint
9 DL
100 yard sprint
6 DL
150 yard sprint

My time - 6:42

Did CF Football today because I wasn't feeling CF total or Helen. Overall pretty good workout, but I think I could have gone heavier on DL. Next time maybe 155#.

More sprints...more pain

2009-11-02T13:47:00.002-06:00

WOD

Five rounds for time:
95# Snatch, 3 reps
95# OHS, 15 reps
400 m sprint

Used 42# and my time was 22:00. I think I could have done more on Snatch, but OHS was killing by round 3.

So glad tomorrow is a rest day!!

2 days of "beatdown"...

2009-11-01T17:37:00.003-06:00

WOD

Four rounds, each for time:

Run 800 m

Rest as needed between sprints.

Post times for each round.

My times were 4:03, 4:07, 4:07, 4:21. Between today's WOD and yesterday's (below) I am completely beat and sore.

Yesterday's WOD

25 squats
25 push-ups
25 pull-ups
25 sit-ups
50 squats
50 push-ups
50 pull-ups
50 sit-ups
75 squats
75 push-ups
75 pull-ups
75 sit-ups

Not sure of my time because on #5 of 75 pull-ups I ripped my left hand open in 3 spots. I stopped the clock to tape my hand and forgot to restart it...noticed that halfway through 75 sit-ups. No matter because my time would have been HORRIBLE, but I am completely sore from that workout.

Did guy push-ups for 25 & 50, but went to girl push-ups for the 75. Also did kips for 25 & 50 pull-ups (plus first 5 of 75), but had to switch to 3 bands because hand was on fire and could barely grip the bar.

Annie

2009-10-29T20:01:00.002-05:00

WOD

"Annie"

For time:

50-40-30-20-10 reps of
Double-unders
Sit-ups

Post time.

Annie didn't go as planned today. Ended up just doing singles x 2 for the jumprope. My time = 11:33.

Not very pleased with my 1st week back after vacation. Really need a suck-fest (and do good at it) on Saturday. I know I'll be eating my words...

"Michael" from a few days ago

2009-10-28T14:17:00.008-05:00

WOD

"Michael"

Three rounds for time:

Run 800 m

50 Back Ext

50 Sit-ups

Post time.

My time...not even going to say. That's what I get for taking my little monster with me the 1st workout back.

Wasn't a complete bum on our trip to AZ. We went hiking a couple days in between the shopping, fair and eating yummy food (aka funnel cake at the fair, mexican, steak).

Here are a couple pictures of our hiking trips:

Rowing & wall-balls

2009-10-15T19:10:00.002-05:00

Row 2K
50 Wall-ball shots, 20 pound ball
Row 1K
35 Wall-ball shots, 20 pound ball
Row 500 meters
20 Wall-ball shots, 20 pound ball

Post time to comments.

Using 14# ball my time was 24:28.

Trying to do wod's with more cardio. Having some body issues lately. My pants are getting too tight. I feel like I'm getting "bulky" since starting the Zone. I have since stopped following it strictly and trying to only eat that way for support while Trey is home. However, with him on break that means I'm eating more "Zone" and I think it is making me self-conscious of how I look. I want to be fit and healthy and strong. I don't want to have to buy bigger size clothes or feel "blah". Not sure what to do...more cardio. Maybe running? (which I hate!)

Crossfit Total

2009-10-13T19:33:00.002-05:00

WOD

"CrossFit Total"

Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep

Post total to comments.

The last time I did the Crossfit Total was back in January...almost a year ago. Man, time has flown by!

Today's total was only a few points higher than last time which is a little discouraging. My last total was 445.

BS - 175
SP - 77 (PR)
DL - 205

Total = 457

Elizabeth

2009-10-12T18:47:00.002-05:00

WOD

"Elizabeth"

21-15-9 reps of:

Power Clean 135 pounds
Ring dips

Sucked it up and did 85#. My time was 8:06. Last time I did Elizabeth with 85# my time was 8:48. So a little improvement! I was doing a lot of grunting with that 85#...

Run, squats, & back extensions

2009-10-11T22:59:00.004-05:00

WOD

Five rounds for time of:

400 meter Run
50 Squats
30 Back extensions

Post time to comments.

My time sucked...31:59. And I was dying! But I didn't want to hurt my shoulder with Fran. My left one has been bothering me and it hurt really bad just warming up. Actually looking forward to Elizabeth in the morning. Does that make me crazy?!

So, I just went back and checked to see what my time was on this workout last time...back in August my time was 34-something so even though I felt like I was dying, at least I did better.

20 minutes of rowing, SDHP & pull-ups

My lower back is soooo sore from the last couple of days. Wasn't sure I had it in me today. Last time I did 7x1 Thrusters was back in July. Had a 10# PR then too. Thanks to Tammy for the friendly competition and Nat & my hubby for encouraging me. :)

No rest day here...

2009-10-06T15:27:00.002-05:00

Been a couple days...and I'm going to pay for it!

My time was 18:04 using 65# for PC. Thought that was pretty decent until Ashley did it 9-something...haha! Oh well! I'm proud of myself for even going to the gym. Haven't been all weekend while family was in town. I was sooo tired today and didn't want to go. Glad I did though!

Might as well have been Filthy 50...

2009-09-29T22:11:00.002-05:00

Tuesday (Sept. 29th)

WOD

"Isabel"

For time:

Snatch 135 pounds, 30 reps

First time doing Isabel. My time was 3:19 using 55#. Definately need to go up in weight next time. Started off not really liking Snatch. However, the more I do it the more I like it...just takes getting into a rhythm.

Sunday & Monday - Rest Days! :)

Saturday (Sept. 26th)

WOD

‘Fight Gone Bad.’

In this workout you spend one minute at each of five stations, resulting in a a five-minute round after which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. This event calls for three rounds. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of ‘rotate,’ the athletes must move to the next station immediately. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower, where each calorie is one point.

The stations are:

Wall-ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull (Reps)
Box jump (Reps)
Push-press (Reps)
Row (Calories)

Used 14# ball and 55# on SDHP & PP. Got a new PR with a total of 256. Old total was 252. Went up 52 points from last year's Fight Gone Bad.

Friday (Sept. 25th)

WOD

For time:
135 lb Squat clean, 10 reps
50 GHD Sit-ups
135 lb Squat clean, 8 reps

Lynne on crack...

2009-09-23T14:22:00.002-05:00

WOD

Five rounds for max reps of:

Body weight bench press
Pull-ups
Body weight back squat

Post reps for all three exercises in all rounds.

Okay, so there's no doing body weight bench press (only did 65#), but I was able to do body weight back squat + 5#. Reason for the extra 5# is because I was too lazy to put a bunch of weights on so I just threw on a 45# on each side. :)

My reps were:

Bench press - 7,8,7,6,7
Pull-ups - 17,12,12,8,14 (not happy about these #'s!!)
Back Squat - 6,5,5,5,6

Definately think I will be sore day after next!

20 minutes of Thrusters, HPC & SDHP

2009-09-21T14:47:00.004-05:00

WOD

Complete as many rounds as possible 20 minutes of:

95 pound Thruster, 5 reps
95 pound Hang Powercleans, 7 reps
95 pound Sumo Deadlift High-pull, 10 reps

Post rounds completed to comments.

Used 65# & completed 6 rounds. Better than I expected! I thought I did worse today, but after looking it turns out this is the first time I've completed 6 rounds. Now I don't feel as guilty for skipping the gym for a week. (Maybe I just needed the break...haha!)

As for the Zone, I'm miserable. I over did it on our cheat day (Saturday) big time. I don't like being told what I can and cannot eat. Especially since I think I have pretty good self-control and eat pretty healthy. I'm not giving up on it, but I am going to be less strict while Trey is at work. Today I actually had a sandwich...with bread. And it felt good. I told Trey I would continue to be strict with dinner to motivate him. Plus, I have realized that I need to get most of my carbs from veggies and fruit.

Helen

2009-09-15T12:17:00.002-05:00

WOD

"Helen"

Three rounds for time:

Run 400 meters
1 1/2 pood Kettlebell X 21 swings (or 55 pound dumbbell swing)
12 Pull-ups

Post time to comments.

My time was 16:09 which a PR for me...but only by 31 seconds. I used the 16kg kettlebell (is that the 1 pood?).

Not quite sure where I'm losing so much time. My time compared to everyone on the board is really bad. My runs felt fast this morning. And I don't think I'm taking a lot of breaks during the kettlebell swings. I know my kips are kind of sad because I'm only able to do sets of 4 before I lose my grip. But still...I'm lost.

As for the "diet"...it's difficult. I'm already thinking of what I'm going to eat on Saturday which is our splurge day. I'm finding it hard to actually eat the amount of food I'm supposed to...I feel overstuffed. I feel like I'm choosing good food choices for each category, but today I kind of feel like I cheated. I ate oatmeal (low-sugar instant) as 2 of my carb blocks with a peach as the 3rd. Then I had 2 egg whites & bacon as protein and peanut butter as fat. I was so stuffed I wanted to vomit during my workout and it was almost 2 hours later. ?? Does that sound right?

I'm really hoping I don't GAIN weight on this "diet"...

On the plus side, Trey is loving it!

Upper body & 400m runs

2009-09-13T16:46:00.002-05:00

WOD

For time:

50 Ring Dips
Run 400 meters
50 Push-ups
Run 400 meters
50 Handstand push-ups
Run 400 meters

No handstand push-ups for me. Instead I used the 45# bar and did Shoulder Press. My time was 26:25. Not a great time. My runs were actually really fast. I think the part that slowed me down was the shoulder press. After the 1st 10 I couldn't even manage to do them in sets of 5...I was down to 2's and 3's.

I started the Zone Diet with Trey this morning. So far, he's loving it and I'm HATING it!! :( It takes waaaay too long to figure out what I'm going to eat. All I wanted to do for lunch was have a turkey sandwich, maybe a few chips and some fruit, but NOOOOOOOO....

It doesn't help that my mouth is extremely sore from the power chain the orthodentist put on Friday. Hopefully once the soreness goes away I will begin feeling differently about the Zone because I will be able to eat more variety. Extremely hard to eat a lot of foods right now. Or I should say extremely painful.

Trying to stay positive though because I agreed to do this for 30 days with him. (What was I thinking?! haha!)

Used 135# for DL and my time was 10:34. Have no idea whether that is good or not because I was 1st person to do that wod this morning. Proud of myself for doing GHD's rather than regular sit-ups though.

Elizabeth

2009-09-02T22:07:00.002-05:00

WOD

"Elizabeth"

21-15-9 reps of:

Clean 135 pounds
Ring dips

Post time to comments.

So, I thought I did good today with a time of 7:36. However, I only used 75#. Looking at my last Elizabeth time back in August I used 85# in 8:48. Oops! Thought the 75# felt a little light.

On the plus side I continued doing power cleans and got a new PR.

My loads were 85,95,105(PR),110(PR),115(PR),120(F).

I'm disappointed that I used a lighter weight during Elizabeth, but both of my shoulders are really bothering me so I'm glad I didn't go heavier. Hoping they will feel better after taking a break this weekend.

Row, thrusters, pull-ups...

Used 55#...my time was 25:25.

Extremely tired and weak today. Went to gym during lunchtime which was a big mistake because I was already hungry before I started the workout. Could tell that had a lot to do with being so sluggish.

Didn't workout yesterday so I did yesterday's wod. Only used 45# on Power Snatch and my legs still felt like cinder blocks during the run.

My time - 23:43

Feeling about 10# heavier lately. Not sure why. I know I'm not eating great, but I don't think I'm eating horribly. Just feel tired and blah.

Tried something new today with Cindy...girl push-ups. I succeeded in getting in 13 rounds +5 pull-ups+3 push-ups. (But I also consider it cheating since I did girl push-ups.) The most I've ever completed before was 12 +5+6 doing men's push-ups. I feel I benefited from the girl push-ups because I went all the way down and took less breaks. When I do the guys I'm barely going down because I'm so weak and by the end I'm only doing 2 or 3 at a time before breaking.

Set up three bars and storm through for time.

Didn't set up 3 bars. Made do with 2, but had to keep taking weight off between BP & PC.

Did 135# for DL, 65# BP, 75# PC. My time = 30 something

Horrible time, but my muscles were exhausted!! Hands are a little tore up this morning too so I don't think I'll be doing the pull-up ladder.

This is the alternate workout from Saturday. I did it in 34:12. Thankfully it was early this morning so wasn't hot yet. In fact, there was a nice cool breeze. Still had sweat pouring off me though.

I'm beat and thankful that tomorrow is a rest day. I am really slacking in the nutrition department and wonder if that is why I feel so sluggish!!

Tabata & Deadlift

2009-08-09T13:09:00.003-05:00

WOD

"Tabata Something Else"

Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where the first 8 intervals are pull-ups, the second 8 are push-ups, the third 8 intervals are sit-ups, and finally, the last 8 intervals are squats.

There is no rest between exercises.

Post total reps from all 32 intervals to comments.

My total = 272 (or 276)...can't remember exactly. I do know it was better than my last total on this exercise which was 263.

Still didn't feel like I did very well. Not exactly motivated when I just got done dealing with a 2 year old throwing a tantrum. Ugh!! Normally you would think "take your frustration out on the workout", but I was so embarrassed at how she acted that I just wanted to pack up and go home. But Trey encouraged me to keep going. And I did. Now Em is taking a nap and I'm crossing my fingers she wakes up in a better mood. :(

I rowed in 57:43. It was killer too! I haven't rowed long distance in a long, long while. I put it off all day. And after a stressful day with a toddler I really did NOT want to row. But Trey rowed while I took a nap so I made myself do it. With a little motivation from him...haha!

I'm attaching a picture of the rower after I was done for proof! haha!

Last time I did Cindy was beginning of February and I managed to squeeze in 6 push-ups too. So not as good as last time.

Was nice to have Michelle doing it next to me because it made me push myself. Push-ups are what get me everytime. Obviously I needed to work on these...

Used 70# with a time of 25:30. Female weight supposed to be 105#. Yeah right!! I could have done it for DL, but not HPC or PJ...especially since 105# is more than either of those PRs.

Also did 50 pull-ups and tore my left hand. Unfortunately tomorrow is Lynne. Oh well!!

Finally! I have been stuck at 195 for a couple months now...getting no where near my old PR of 205. Felt extremely tired when I went in this morning so I was definately not expecting to do this well.

Also worked on pull-ups (kips). My hands have been really soft lately and decided I needed to toughen them up a bit. My goal is do 50 everyday. No time limit. Just get them done before I leave. That way I can hopefully toughen up my hands, work on my grip, and get back in to the groove.

Overall a good day.

Also walked (pushing Em in stroller) with Michelle and her girls tonight. I think we did 4 miles. Is that right, Michelle?

Female weight is supposed to be 135#. Considering my max is only 145# that wasn't happening. Tried 95#...still extremely heavy. So ended up doing only 65#...and I'm already feeling it.

Also used ab mat instead of GHDs. So today you my middle name is "SLACKER". :)

My time was 18:40. Not that great.

Bought 2 huge bags of epsom salt today at Wal-Mart. I figure I'm going to need it after taking a 2 week break. Guess I deserve it! :)

Used 65# on HPC. Michelle helped motivate me. Time was 22:08.

Oh yeah, just realized after looking back at both my blog and CF Clarksville that this is the 1st time I've ever done "Nasty Girls".

Guess I'll be doing alternate again. LOL!

Rest Day with a little Yoga

First let me start off by asking WHAT'S WITH THE 5 ROUNDS LATELY?! Seriously, I was done at 3.

Anyway, used 55# for Thursters and actually did Double Unders for the 1st time EVER!! I've tried them in the past and usually only do a couple and the rest are singles x 2. My time sucked, but my body can feel it so I guess that is what matters.

Well, it's Monday and I'm finally doing Saturday's WOD. I'm glad I did it, too. I was dreading it...put it off for 2 days.

I used 10# ball and 24" box. My time was 35:31. Not too bad, I don't think.

I think this was just the workout to kick my butt in gear. Hopefully from here on out I won't be and feel like a slacker!

14 seconds slower than last time I did it on 09/18/2008, but did 5# more. Not much improvement.

Thanks Nat for watching Em so I didn't have to drag her with me. :)

I'm a day behind on the workouts because I'm still so sore I can hardly move...made sure to do a lot of stretching before FS today. Plus, I think it helped to loosen things up a bit.

My FS was a lot weaker than usual. Uglier too! Just ask Nat...haha!

I think my totals were something like

45 x5 (warmup), 65,85,95,115,125

Getting back into it is proving to be a lot harder than I expected. Also worked on kips.

Back at it again...Tabata Something Else

"Nicole"

Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:

Run 400 meters
Max rep Pull-ups

Post number of pull-ups completed for each round to comments.

I got in 6 whole rounds today...a first for me. My pull-up totals were: 11,11,11,11,11,2. Only managed to get in 2 before 20 minutes was up. Don't think I would have been able to do much more than that anyway.

Two weeks ago did Nicole pushing Emmy and only got in 5.5 rounds and my pull-ups were a lot less at 10,10,7,7,5. Not pushing a stroller definately helps!!

Fight Gone Bad!

2009-03-29T12:40:00.002-05:00

WOD

"Fight Gone Bad!"

Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20" box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

Add your points and post them to comments.

My total using 55# for SDHP & PP and 10# ball for Wall-balls was 283.

That's a 31 point increase from last time I did it on November 11, 2008. So that's good news. Bad news is I thought last time we did 65# for SDHP and PP because I specifically remember having the green weights on there and getting annoyed that they were bending. But my post says we used 55# so we must have had the lighter bar instead of the 45# bar. I guess it's good that the 55# seems to be getting lighter. Didn't seem as bad today as last time. Of course, that was a couple months ago so it could just be I forgot how bad it was! :) LOL

Front Squat

Front squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps

My loads were 85,95,100,105,115,120x1,130x1,140x1(PR),145x1(PR)

Went a little lighter on the sets of 3 because I wanted to try for a new PR...which I got! Yeah!

Also, did 1/2 of today's CFE: 10 x 250 m (rest 5x the amount of time it took to row 250 m). Only did 5 rounds because the 5 minute rests add up and the workout takes too long. Em's at school so I didn't want to spend my whole "free" day working out.

Used 10# ball and my time was 7:50.

Good workout. Legs weren't bothering me but my shoulders were on fire. The last time I did Karen was on August 7, 2008 and my time was 10:34 (with 10# ball) so I'm excited about how much I kicked my own butt! :)

Used 65# for bench press...

Bench Press - 9,9,9,9,8
Pull-ups - 19,13,14,16,16

Total - 44/78

I tried on the last round of pull-ups to beat Dymphna's 20, but no such luck. Too exhausted by then. Should have to just tried for it my first round. Maybe next time. haha! :)

Dropped Em off at Super Saturday this morning then came to the gym. I was actually looking forward to this workout. I needed the cardio after last night's awesome fondue party.

Used 135# and my time was 19:49. I'm always slow when it comes to running, but I did enjoy the cold air and how it burns my lungs. Weird, I know. But I would much rather run in the cold (to a point...under 30 degrees is pushing it) than in the heat.

Can't seem to get past the 5.5 rounds. Today I ran since it was so beautiful outside. The only other 2 times I've done Nicole I did rowing. Thought I would be able to get in six rounds today, but maybe it had something to do with pushing Emmy in the stoller. Or maybe not.

Anyway, my rounds were:

10,10,7,7,5 + 400 m run

So much for easing back into it...

Used females Rx'd weight of 65#. My time - 51:27. I am so tired, sore, broken (in the words of Michelle). Definately not a good workout to come back to after taking a break for 2 weeks.
