2 months of isolation....

2008-05-27T06:26:00.000-07:00

And I am back on the crossfit kick to try and shred up for spring/summer.

Doing isolation and now back to this is NUTS. I completely forgot how intense crossfit is. Horrible time today. 18:34

4 rounds for time:

* 25 KB swings (53#/36#)
* 20 burpees

Abs - 30 ghd sit ups

alternating double tabata

2008-03-26T14:07:00.001-07:00

I did not count for time, but i averaged about 12 minutes per set, so i would say i would be right around 36 minutes. not too bad for being out of it for 4 days.

today was

Alternating double tabata

* kb swings 53#/36#
* pull ups

count total reps for score

Abs - 40 ghd sit ups

basically 20 seconds KB swing, 10 second rest, 20 seconds pull ups, 10 second rest.

taking norms advice, i found my buddy eric to take 8 minutes out of his work out to count and time for me, and push me, which almost made me feel like i was at a crossfit work out. at least how i envision them.

Abs - 40 Med. Ball. twists

2008-03-18T07:33:00.000-07:00

monday was this, i did not write how many i did, but was able to manage about 25 wall balls per time, about 15 deadlifts, 20 box jumps, 20 push presses, and did not remember the calories

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. Complete 3 rounds of:

1. Wall-ball shots 20/12 lb pound ball, 8 ft target. (Reps)
2. Deadlift high-pull 75/55 pounds (Reps)
3. Box Jumps 20/16 inch box (Reps)
4. Push-press 75/55 pounds (Reps)
5. Row calories (Calories)

The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of "rotate," the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

i think i lost my voice...

Tum tum hurts

2008-03-05T14:41:00.000-08:00

Feel like I should lose some weight from throwing up. I pushed myself pretty hard, 60 dips are pretty intense.

16:29

I could have saved thirty seconds by not having to run to the other side of the gym for a pull up bar. I need to learn a faster way to do these pull ups. Kippling or whatever it is.

Cannot wait for tomorrow

you all thought i gave up didn't you? thanks for the support assholes! ;) jk

anyhow, friday i had to work very late into the evening, so no work out, saturday and sunday were off days..

monday was a tough one.

5 rounds for time:

* 20 OH alternating lunges 45#/30#
* 20 burpees (without the jump and clap, but include the pushup)
* 20 jumping pullups

Abs - 50 abmat situps

this took me 17:24 - not too shabby, deffly tough, the jumping pull ups were deceiving, i honestly thought they would be a breeze, but those turned out to burn the most.

today was a good one too, really built up a good sweat.

4 rounds for time:

* Clean & jerk 95#/65# 20 reps
* 400m run

Abs - 50 russian twists with med. ball

this took me 27:12

also, big congrats to norm making the WOD blog with a picture, and a happy birthday to him

2008-02-28T14:16:00.000-08:00

My arms are absolutely fresh out the fridge j to the e l l o!!!!!

31:12 I did the press and pull ups in sets of ten and fifteen to make things easier.

goal reached

2008-02-28T06:38:00.001-08:00

Got my goal of 10, I feel I could have done more, those jumps take a lot out of you. I noticed my SDHP's getting a little sloppy towards the end.

TOday should be another tough day.

For time:

* 1000 meter row
* 5 rope climbs
* 50 pull ups
* 50 H.S.P.U's
* 50 burpees (with push up, jump, and a clap above your head)

40 hip extensions

I will be substituting each rope climb for 7 towel pull ups, and when I can no longer do HSPU I will substitute them for DB press standing.

:yawn:

2008-02-27T14:26:00.000-08:00

after a long long day at a training seminar for federal sales, it is now crossfit time.

As many rounds as youu can do in 20 minutes of:

* 10 box jumps (24in/20in)
* 10 ring dips
* 10 S.D.H.P (85#/50#)
