Half Cindy MH
10 mins AMRAP:
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
8 rounds.
Pulled something in my back Friday night warming up for some grass vball. Was hard to walk/pick up the baby/move until Saturday. Went to the chiropracter yesterday, he cracked my back some and I'm feeling a lot better. Didn't want to jump right back into it, so I cut Cindy in half today. Still managed 40 pull ups, 80 push ups and 120 squats. Felt fine afterward, other than being pretty tired from the work.

Grace MH
I decided I was going to try Grace for the first time. Oddly enough, it came up as the CF main site WOD for tomorrow. Weird. Anyway....
30 x 135# clean and jerk
Time: 8:18
I just power cleaned, didn't hit a full squat so I didn't technically do the WOD as rx'd. I felt pretty tired/weak before I started so I'm sure I'll beat the time next time this WOD comes up. High rep c&j's are kinda tricky. Couldn't really get in a groove and rip off a bunch in a row before I got sorta messed up and had to reset. Good workout though.

Bench and 2k row MH
At lunch:
Bench press, 5 x 3
Sets 1-4: 245
5. 250 (failed on third rep)
About three hours later:
2k row
Time: 7:19
Last time it was 7:43. I think the big improvement was due more to having an idea how hard I could row throughout the 2000 meters rather than some massive increase in fitness. 20 more seconds and I'm sub 7 minutes!

Time: 6:26
Last time I used 255# and got 6:14. This is the first time I've used the official rx'd weight, so we'll get a true comparison next time I try this since the weight will be the same.

Was planning on doing deadlifts today but Mike left all the weight on the bar and it's a pain in the ass to get off. Reagan was sleeping so I made up a quiet workout!
30-20-10
KB Snatch
Sit-ups
KB Clean and press
Box Jump (did step ups)
KB Swing
KB = 20lbs
Time 14:12
This was harder than I though it would be. The Clean and Press really wears my shoulders out! I need to build them up!

Angie MH
100 pull ups
100 push ups
100 sit ups
100 squats
Time: 28:14
Did 20 pull ups in a row to start off. Only jumped off the bar because I didn't want to completely burn myself out right away. It went way downhill from there. Ripped callouses on both my hands around 80-85 pull ups.
I've noticed that crossfit south philly seems to never do any exercises that I don't have equipment for. Since Pat goes there a few times a week, I'm going to try and start following their WODs. It seems to be a good affiliate, plus they post times so I have some people to measure up against. We'll see how long that lasts.

135# thrusters

Time: 6:29
I had been thinking I should try a heavy version of Fran for a few days. I was going to try the Tuesday CFFB WOD, which included 135# OHS. Warmed up some, realized I felt kinda weak and there was no way I was going to finish that many OHS at that weight. 135# thrusters are no joke.

Ruck & Deadlift/Box Jump
Morning: Rucked about 2.5 miles or so with 40 lbs. Took me about 40 mins or so. Wasn't trying for any sort of time. Took the dog with me.
Around 6pm:
7 rounds:
Deadlifts 225 lbs
Box Jumps 24" box
Perform as many reps as possible in 15 seconds and rest for 45 seconds. 1 full round is equal to 15 seconds of deadlifts with 45 seconds rest and 15 seconds of box jumps with 45 seconds rest.
Went like this:
1. 8/7 5. 8/8
2. 8/8 6. 8/8
3. 8/8 7. 8/8
4. 8/9
Total: 56 of each, for a score of 112. Judging by the scores posted in the comments section, I suck. I think maybe I'm just not very good at this general physical fitness/athletic stuff at all. I used to think I was fairly athletic for a fat dude and that if I managed to make myself skinnier I'd be even better at stuff. I'm pretty good at vball, but now I think that has nothing to do with any sort of athleticism, it's mainly due to me being able to figure out technique and how to play the game better than most people. I'm slow, can't jump, have no quickness and don't appear to be improving very much even though I've been working out and eating better (sleeping enough is still an issue). Eh, whatever. The workouts are still kinda fun and a good way to pass the time.

Thursday, 23 Apr 09
3 rounds:
Run 400m
10 pull ups
10 sandbag shoulders (60# bag, 5l/5r)
10 burpees
Time: 13:51
For some reason (I'm a wimp) the first two sets of pull ups were broken, but the third was actually sorta easy to do straight through. Whatever. Crappy time, even though I had nothing to compare it to. Still kinda feels like I'm going backwards, probably due to not eating correctly and not sleeping enough. Down to 223 lbs, which is good.
Friday was an off day.

3 rounds:
1 lap (1/3rd of a mile)
15 burpees
20 push ups
20 sit ups
25 squats
Time: WHO KNOWS?! I DIDN'T START THE TIMER
Apparently I clicked the start/stop button twice really fast. After the first lap I checked to see how long it took and saw that it was still on .7 seconds. Stupid me. Oh well. Good workout, was really tired. Will try it again sometime.

The press was the only true max (I failed at 180) but the other two were pretty close. Squat and deadlift were both PRs. I guess the press was too, but it just tied my previous record.
The goal by 2010 is a 1000 CFT. I figure it can break down like this: squat 350 press 200 deadlift 450. Got a ways to go!

Been trying to zone diet for about two weeks now, it's possible I'm calculating stuff wrong and I'm not eating enough.

Realized I didn't have it for that workout and called an audible. This was harder than it should have been. I guess I'm still tired from vball and the baby not sleeping.

Death by Pull Up MH
With a continuously running clock do 1 pull up the first minute, 2 the second minute, 3 the third, etc until you can't complete a round.
12 rounds. Grip gave out, I couldn't hold onto the bar for more than 1-2 at a time towards the end.
Did the Burgener warm up and snatch assistance exercises from the video in the Crossfit Journal. Good stuff.

45 ring dips
45 double unders
Time: 21:15
The dips weren't legit dips. I put the rings so that when I was standing, I was approximately at the bottom position of a dip. I would push up to the top from there and tap my feet on the ground between reps. Eh, I'll get there. I did the 45 double unders to start off in like 35 seconds. Then I realized I had 45 115 lb cleans to do and frowned. That was rough.
Friday I took off because Saturday I played vball for a few hours. This working out stuff is really making vball easier. Took Sunday off.

5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
AMRAP in 20 mins
Total: 14
Last time I did this I got 12 rounds. Improvement, but I was hoping for at least 15. It sounds better if I think of it as 70 pull ups, 140 push ups and 210 squats in 20 minutes.

Modified WOD - LH
WOD
AMRAP
250 meter row
21 Sumo-deadlift-High Pulls
15 Pull-ups
I thought I'd be brave and try today's workout. This was my first time doing sumo deadlift High pulls so I wasn't sure where to start or how my body would feel afterwards. I made some modifications to the workout, 1 on accident and the other's intentionally. It wasn't timed since it takes me forever to get in and out of the bands and Mike wasn't home to help.
Here is what I actually did:
4 rounds:
2 minute Row
10 Sumo deadlift High pulss (55 lbs)
10 Pull-ups with the grey band
Shoulder blade area is killing me now!

Hopefully its warm enough to Kelly tomorrow

I was going to go to the base and give Kelly a try, but it was 20 degrees outside with a windchill of 11 so I decided to return home and do pushups and situps instead.

2k meters rowing on a C2
50 barbell thrusters (45#)
30 pullups (mostly jumping pull ups)
Time: 15:48
Again, most of my pullups (24 of 30) were jumping pull ups.
Finished the row in 8:32
Gasped for oxygen for 1:00
Thrusters for 3:06
More gasping for air for 0:36
Jumping pull ups for 2:32
I noticed I started a trend with the adding of initals to the end of a workout.
Oh and if you are having trouble determining a distance for a 200m, 400m, 800m, 1 mile, ect run, you can go to Google Earth, find the area you are running at, there click on the little ruler icon at the top middle of the screen and find out the distance from your front door to a distance you want.

Good idea putting your initials in the post title. Should make searching back through the archives much easier. Anyway, did this:
3 rounds:
400m run
30 wall ball shots (20 lb)
24" box jump
Time: 19:25
The rx'd WOD was 5 rounds. I went and pulled the sled with Lisa this morning so I was pretty done after three rounds. I think the bigass field in my neighborhood is about 200m across, which is incredibly conveinent. Tiring.

Sledding in the Park!
We had a cold but dry morning so we headed to the park!
20 minutes:
Sled pull (40 lbs)
Medicine ball throws with squats (8 lbs)
* There were 3 of us. One person pulled the sled down and back while the other 2 used the med ball. We rotated through this cycle.

As everyone knows, it's FRAN DAY!
Time: 7:04
Last time was 8:40. I tried to immediately jump on the pull up bar after finishing the thrusters this time. After the 21 thrusters I managed 11 pull ups, did the last 10 in two sets I think. That had a lot to do with the drop in time I think. I was pretty surprised with the result. Having to beat that next time is going to be a bitch.

Goal: to use the green bands for workouts by my birthday.

Cleans and Push ups
Modified the main site WOD today because I can't really do ring dips.
21-15-9
125 lb clean
Slapping push ups
Time: 16:25
By "slapping push up" I mean I did a regular push up and slapped my chest between each rep. I thought it would be a little harder than a clapping push up because the hands have to travel a little bit further each time.
High rep cleans are tough. I am feeling sort of worn out, my knees are still a little sore and I slightly pulled something in my back on the heavy thrusters. This was tough.

135-140-145-145-155-160-165
Also did two sets of 4 min tabata intervals:
alternated between forward and backward sprints and side shuffles
alternated between 26" box jumps and sit ups

Today was day number 1 with the official pull-up bands! I'll be kicking ass in no time!
3 rds of 5 reps
Deadlift 115
Pull-ups (Grey Band)
Tabata:
*Punching combo
*Knee Slams
*Wall ball (8lbs)
*Box Jumps (on step)
*Sit-ups
The tabata was really tiring! Mike thinks the grey bands are too easy. I'll use them for a couple of weeks then move up to green bands. That should make him happy!
* Tuesday I went to kickboxing - forgot to post yesterday!

Deadlifts and burpees
So I played volleyball for about 6 hours on Sunday. Played a lot better and was hitting the jump serve pretty well. It's weird, it seems like the more I exercise, the easier sports are. That's probably connected somehow.
Anyway, took yesterday off because my knees hurt. Today is a CrossFit rest day so I did:
5 rounds:
5 deadlifts (255 lbs)
10 burpees
Time: 6:14
Last time I did this I got 6:53 and only used 235 lbs. I'm slowly working my way towards the official weight of 275.
And yeah, if you look at the last time Pat did this one, he also got 6:14. Weird.

Barbell workout
I did a scaled down version of Pat's saturday workout. I have vball tomorrow and didn't want to overdo it.
3 rounds of:
12 deadlifts
9 hang power cleans
6 front squats
3 push jerks
I also used 115 lbs. Didn't time it. I don't feel really wiped out or anything so hopefully it'll just help get rid of some left over soreness. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
Btw, I can see how the rx'd version of this thing would be hard as crap. High rep deadlifts being the "rest" part of a workout is NOT a good sign.

I used 125 for the first round. I quickly found out that there was no way I could complete it with 125. So, I used 115 for rounds 2-5. It pretty much killed my whole body. The deadlifts weren't hard. However, the hang cleans were tough and everything after that became much tougher.

Five rounds for time of:
45 pound barbell Overhead walking lunges, 50 feet
21 Burpees
13:43
I had to modify this workout. I used a 20lb dumbell and a 2 1/2 lb plate in one hand and a 20lb kettlebell and a 2 1/2 lb plate in the other. So, together they equaled 45lbs. It really hit my core. My legs are tired and I am exhausted.

Lunges and Burpees
5 rounds of:
45 lb overhead walking lunge, 50 ft
21 burpees
Time: 15:17
From the wall of the garage to the edge of the mats is 10 feet. I did five laps of that for the 50 ft of lunges. Turning around with a bigass barbell when I got to the wall was tricky and definitely added time to the workout. I'd like to try this one again where I can just walk 50 ft straight. Porbably be under 15 mins.
The burpees seemed kinda easier, which is to say I only kinda felt like I was dying. The sweat angel I left afterward was pretty good.

Presses and Pull ups
I modified the main site WOD again today. I'll have to start working on HSPUs and L-pull ups. I subbed in presses and regular pull ups today.

13 presses, 3 pull ups
11 presses, 5 pull ups
9 presses, 7 pull ups
7 presses, 9 pull ups
5 presses, 11 pull ups
3 presses, 13 pull ups
1 presses, 15 pull ups
I started off the first set with 110 lbs. That was way too much to keep using so I dropped it to 95 lbs. My shoulders and arms were really big afterwards. Kinda cool.

I did this workout at www.crossfitphilly.com at the beginning of summer.
done with a 16kg (32.5lb) kettlebell
10 ohs (5l/5r)
20 snatches (10l/10r)
20 cleans (10l/10r)
20 swings (10l/10r)
6 rounds. Do the whole workout without putting the kb down.
17:35
My old time was 19:36. Over a 2 minute improvement. That feels good. My posterior chain is taxed and it is hard to type because my forearms are on fire.

5 rounds of:
250 jump ropes (400m run)
25 incline sit ups (30 GHD situps)
205 lb deadlift, 15 reps (250 lb)
Time: 31:28
The run I had to scale because I was watching the baby during the workout and obviously couldn't leave to run around the block. The GHD I had to sub because we don't have any way to do GHD sit ups here. The deadlift I scaled because I suck.

Mini Jackie - SB
50 Sump Dead-Lift High Pulls (45#)
25 Thrusters (45#)
15 Pullups
Time 8:18
Most of the pullups were jumping negatives since I did them on my door jam pull up thingy and the fact that my pullups are incredibly weak.
I think I will do a few more Mini Jackies before I move up to the full exercise.

Overhead Squats
Overhead Squats
3-3-3-3-3
125, 130, 130, 135, 135
The hardest part of this workout was lowering the bar and re-racking it. A better idea would have probably been to just dump the weight. This was also hard on the wrists.
Did two rounds of Tabata agility drills. Went like this:
There's about a 10 ft open padded space in the garage between the wall and the big plyo box. I backpedaled and sprinted forward between the two. It's supposed to mimic movements I regularly make in a volleyball game. I alternated between that and broad jumps for 4 mins.
The second round i shuffled stepped side to side and alternated that with one legged box jumps on the 14" box.
That shit was tiring.

15 power cleans, 30 dips
12 power cleans, 24 dips
9 power cleans, 18 dips
6 power cleans, 12 dips

Didn't time myself because I scaled it so massively. The official WOD uses 155 lbs and regular ring dips. Eh, I'll work on it. It was still tiring.
Hey Pat, post something!

By May I hope to have my time under 5:45 with 235 lbs. I think that is an attainable short term objective.

Deadlifts
5 x 3, used 275/285/300 x 3
In order to get to a CFT of 1000, I think it may end up breaking down like this:
Deadlift: 450
Squat: 350
Press: 200
Last time I tried getting a CFT, I deadlifted 305, squatted 265 and pressed 175. I'm pretty sure I can deadlifted a good deal more weight, can squat a few more pounds (going to have to get new squat racks before I try much more than 265 though) and maxed out on the press at 175. The 1000 CFT in 2009 seems reasonable.

Tabata situps afterward
