Friday. 5/08/09

For today:

Stretching, warm-ups

135# Deadlift x 5
155# x 5
185# x 5

Workout:

225# deadlift x 5
Burpees x 10

Five sets for time: 13:24

275# x 1

Attempted 300# twice, failed on both accounts. Bullshit. This workout has a crossfit moniker, can't recall what it is.

Crossfit WOD:

5 Rounds For Time of:

-5 275# Deadlift
-10 Burpees

I tried the 275#, needed a rest after two, went down to 245# instead, still couldn't finish without breaking up sets for the last three rounds. Burpees suck. Nice workout.

Time: 15:24

Hittin' it again

For Today (12/13/08):

3 rounds of:

50 box jumps
21 165# deadlift
20 pullups

I modified this one down a bit from the CF WOD it orignally came from. Still couldn't finish it; being off a week and then being on the final leg of a nappy little illness took it all out of me. I feel shame. But anyway, it was nice to just be bakc moving again, feeling good and ready to roll.

11/23/08

For Today:

Crossfit WOD: No Name - I will file it under the general category of Met-Con Hell.

21 Knees to Elbows
21 55# DB Swings
21 Pushups
15-foot rope climb, 3 ascents
21 20" box jumps
150 ft walking lunge
21 back extensions

For Time.

Time: 43:38
This was hell. I subbed 40# DB's for the 55#, not really up to that yet. I also subbed 12 towel pull-ups for the rope climb. Also subbed 55# good mornings for the back extensions (no back extension thingy at local gym). Barely completed this workout, wanted to quit after round one. Body was just not in it today, not sure why. Was dizzy and light headed from time to time, had to rest between nearly every exercise. Had some sort of bad gastrointestinal pressure that I couldn't relieve. Otherwise a good workout. And I still finished, woo-hoo!
