5 rounds
3 OHS 65
6 FSq
9 BSq
12 Box jumps 24" box
Did three rounds. 24" box jumps still a bit intimidating. But I did then and only missed one rep. We had a cap of 15 minutes. Jeff said to "start with the 24" box".
Last time I did all five rounds in 14:56 using a 20" inch box. This workout intended for 36" tires.
I started doing CrossFit in August of '04, thanks to some needling by Brand X Students (Jason and Ricky) and Jeff Martin. I've never looked back. If look at me and say, well, of course YOU can do it, you are a maniac, then that is the beauty of CrossFit at work. Start doing CrossFit and in 6 months time, YOU will be the YOU that YOU looked at in AWE and perhaps a little skepticism. Please sign my GuestBook

Today's a rest day...so went out shopping for family stuff. It's been a week since the games and I think I'm recovered now. What a blowout day that was. Wednesday's workout was really hard to do...the running made my stomach hurt and the lift were painful!
Friday I just basically walked through it...I just did not have the energy. Saturday FELT bad but my performance was good I think....so monday should see at least a return of previous energy.
I'm sorta zoning...trying to be honest about it and man it really is a calorie restricted method when you get down to it. If I stick to 10 blocks that's less than 1000 calories a day. But it's effective when you implement anywhere between 70 and 100 percent accuracy in my experience.
Still got a target date to hit the Brand X picnic in my two piece suit.

Saturday - Connor
‘Connor’
AMRAP in 20 Minutes
5 deadlifts
5 Hang power Cleans
5 Front squats
5 Push Press
5 Back Squats
I used 65# and did 8 rounds plus 5 deadlifts. I don’t think I’ve sweated so much in any workout ever to date. I kept dripping from my forehead on to the middle of the bar when I was doing deadlifts. Just AWFUL humidity and that was a “metcon” hahah well the way Cerberus and IBEATU@XFIT were doing it, it was.

Friday - Connor's birthday workout
Buy in 34 HSPU (or until GD tells you are too slow and makes you stop, I think I did 17 with feet on 36 in stack of tires.)
AMRAP 17 minutes
17 box jumps (I did 20")
17 Hang power snatch (55#)
17 Push ups
Cash out 17 HSPU knees on 20" box.
I got in two rounds but that was not my best effort...box jumps daunting, and just not all in yesterday. Still recovering I think.

Saturday, July 5th. Crossfit Games
Briefly...here are my results for the Crossfit Games Workout:
Round 1: 09:00 am
21-15-9
65lb thrusters, chest to bar pullups
DNF 12:01- didn’t even finish first round. I couldn’t get my chest to the bar after the 8th counted rep. I pulled higher than ever but couldn’t get my chest in close enough. I’ll be working that...oh yeah.
Round 2: 1:00 pm
5 rounds for time
deadlift 185lb
10 burpees, chest and thighs to deck, full extension and clap overhead.
DNF 12:00- completed 4 full rounds of this and really happy about that. Never lifted that heavy of a deadlift for so many reps.
Round 3: 5:00 pm
750 meter trail run.
7:17 this is ok. I know I’m slow. And by the time 5pm rolled around I wasn’t even concerned about what my time might be. No chance of not completing it in 20 though. Estimated completion of 08:00 and so that is better than I hoped.
Total official time: 31:18
I'll try to write up something a bit more colorful tomorrow.
