150 wall ball shots

Time: 7:07

Last time i got 6:49. Doh! This time the shots were more consistently above 9' (which, btw, is the target height since the garage is about 10' 2") but for whatever reason I went slower. Better luck next time I guess.

500m Rowing Intervals MH

Was planning on using the c2's preset interval program of row 500m, 1 min rest. Did the first two intervals and realized that wasn't going to work. Figured out I could customize the workout and changed it to 500m row, 2 min rest for the last 6 intervals. Times were like this:

1. 1:38
2. 1:43
3. 1:47
4. 1:53
5. 1:54
6. 1:53
7. 1:56
8. 1:54

It was _really_ tiring as all hell.

Tiring.

Crossfit Total MH

Wednesday:

Crossfit Total
Squat: 300
Press: 175
Deadlift: 341

Total: 816

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!

Crossfit Total

I haven't posted for about a week. Was sick so just did cardio. Starting to feel better finally.

Monday:
Am: Cardio 20 minutes
PM: Weights - Arms

Tuesday:
Kickboxing

Wednesday:
Crossfit Total:
Squat - 175

* Can deadlift more but my grip failed on 175. I need to start doing some exercises for my hands!
Total: 410

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

Row 5k MH

Rowed.... 5k obviously.

Time: 20:10

Last time I got 20:20. Doesn't seem like much of an improvement, probably because it's not. I had the damper set on 4 this time rather than 10 last time. Dunno how much, if any, difference that makes. Next time I do this I need to get under 20 minutes.

Jackie MH

Monday:

100 SDHP
50 45 lb thrusters
30 pull ups

Time: 11:08

Felt this one the next day.

Clean and Jerk MH

From Friday:

Clean and Jerk
1-1-1-1-1-1-1

135-145-145-150-155-160-165

I've cleaned more and I've jerked more. Wasn't sure how combining the two would change what I could handle. It was pretty tough doing the entire lift.

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

Barbara MH

Eh, only did 4 rounds. Here are the times:

1. 4:55
2. 5:45
3. 8:22
4. 8:41

Yeah, kinda fell apart there after round 2. The callouses on my hands are gigantic. One is going to rip if there's another mega-pull up workout soon.

Monday, March 2, 2009

Deadlifts MH

Deadlift

1-1-1-1-1-1-1

305-315-320-320-320-320-320

Last time I also maxed at 320. Next time? Probably max at 320. That's all the weight I have for the bar. Last time I only did two reps of 320 and my grip was really giving out. This time it went much better.

Deadlift - Burpee!

Saturday:
Kickboxing

Sunday:
5 rounds for time:

Sunday, March 1, 2009

Helen MH

3 rounds of:
400m run
21 kb swings (40 lbs)
12 pull ups

Time: 13:47

In other workouts I was subbing 250 jump ropes for 400m runs. That isn't a good sub at all. The running was MUCH more tiring. I'm not totally sure the distance around the block is 400m, but it's close enough.

Box Jumps, Deadlifts, Pull Ups MH

2 rounds of:
50 box jumps (26")
21 deadlifts 185 lbs
20 pull ups

Time: 20:29

Did this Saturday. This was originally going to be 3 rounds, and 30 pull ups instead of 20. Have had no energy at all the past few days. Who knows why, probably not sleeping enough. Been trying to zone diet for about two weeks now, it's possible I'm calculating stuff wrong and I'm not eating enough.
