Clubber Lang (Crossfit 'Cindy' I think)

Do as many rounds in 20 min as you can of:

5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats.

I hit 9 rounds today, but I took more time on the squats trying to master and maintain a perfect form. Still took about 3 minutes to get up off the ground when I was done.

It must be working...

Today (10/6/08)

Sorry, forgot to log my last few workouts, but today I present proof that my plan is working:

Clubber Lang (As many rounds of 5 chinups, 10 pushups, and 15 squats as you can do in 20 minutes)

Previous record: 9
Today's Mark: 10

I thought I was going to shatter it for a moment (see section 8 portage for other vindication of my program), but I dropped off hard after round 7.

8/25/08

Today's Workout Plan:

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

5 pullups
10 pushups
15 body-weight or 'air' squats.

20 minute run.

Nick's Rounds: 8
I'm trying to switch to working out in the morning at least two or three times a week. It's not something I'm used to, so I think that's why I declined from my typical 9 rounds. I did feel as strong in the pullups and pushups as ever, I was just moving a little slowly at the start.

Clubber Lang, Round 2

To refresh the memory:

Warm up: light stretching

Exercise:
5 Pullups or Chin ups
10 Pushups
15 Squats

Do as many rounds as you can in 20 minutes.

Finish with 20 min run

Nick's Effort: 9 (again)
I really hit a wall after 8, the 9th is a real struggle, although I did finish with enough left on the clock this time to struggle through 4 more chin ups. Could be all the crappy food I ate this weekend. Well, it tasted good, but not so nutritious. On the run I busted out my Nike deal that goes with my ipod. Not sure how accurate, but it clocked my run at 2.12 miles in 20:15. Ouch. I know I'm long past the 5:30 miles of my Jr. High days, but that's really bad. Looks like more running for me.

For Today

Clubber Lang:

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

5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats (bodyweight)

Follow with a 30-minute cycle ride or 20 min run.

Nick's Rounds: 9
Dude, this was more intense than I thought it would be, which just goes to show how smart I am. I'll be sore tomorrow. Kudos to the crossfit.com peeps who can rip off 30 rounds, those guys are crazy.
