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.

Big Fran MH

12-9-6
135# thrusters
pull ups

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.

Saturday Fun

Run, Pull ups, Sandbags, Burpees MH

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.

Mid Atlantic WOD #3 MH

Did the 3rd WOD from the upcoming Mid-Atlantic regional qualifier.

Run 400m

Run 400m

I imagine the top times at the qualifier will be around 7 mins or so. Those people are nuts. Plus I suck and feel like I'm going backwards. Probably need to sleep more or something.

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.

Rest days

Took Saturday through Tuesday off. I did something wrong to my lower back and it wasn't really getting much better. Thought maybe a bunch of days would help it recover. Worked, somewhat.
