50-40-30-20-10
Double Unders
Sit ups (Abmat)

I couldn't get a set of DU of more than 5 or 6 and my shoe untied in round 4 which caused my last two rounds to add up to almost 4 minutes.

....and I still got a 32 second PR.

16:11

Monday, May 17th - Amrap in 7 min

65# squat Clean, 10 reps
Situps, 20 reps.

3 rounds exactly.

Could have scaled to 45#...tempting to do again for comparison.

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010 - 50 pushups 3:41

Not a PR, but I did 19 before I felt I was near failure. Then the rest were broken up a lot.

Friday @ Brand X Amrap 12 minutes

Buy in:
Power Clean
15 minutes to work up to a 1 rep max (ANY technique failure on any rep is the end of your climb)

didn't get to a max. Did 85# and 95# Only I think.

AMRAP in 12:
Shuttle run x 3 parking space sprints
5 HSPU
10 OHS 95/65

Subbed 30#db dumbbell shoulder press (heavy)


I got 3 rounds plus most of a shuttle run rep.

Thursday, Brand X workout hill sprint, burpees, squats

Front squat.
3x125
2x140


3 rounds
1 hill sprint
10 burpees and
20 squats

10:11.

Wednesday - Karen 8:09

Turns out what I thought must be 10' is actually 8'...crap.

Karen
150 Wall ball shots
12# Ball to 8' target.

8:09

8:44 for the last time using this same setup.

Tuesday - Their warm up was my workout....3x205 DL

Got to Brand X in time for the workout.

Warmup: Sprint 50m 10 squats x2.

Buy in: Sets of 3-5 ME deadlifts.
5x135, 3x185, 3x205 -- kind of a big jump and I thought this was a PR. As far as witnessed at BX it is, but I logged a 3x220 last year at home.

I had to run because it was almost 7pm by then, and since I thought I'd PR'd, I took Jeff's advice from last time and left with happy face instead of a failed 3x210.

Monday - Jackie as RXd

Not really happy with this. I need to work on getting 50 Thrusters unbroken. If I had been at BX, I could have probably done the pull ups in a minute or 2.

Row 1K(4:25)4:52 with transition to bar
50 Thrusters 4:41 with transition to pull ups
30 Pull ups 4:09 climb on stepstool, pull up til I drop off, repeat.

Saturday, Masters DU Helen Solidarity workout

21 KB swings
12 Pull ups

Cap: 15 minutes.

I was 2 pull ups short of finishing the 2nd round when the timer went off. I finished up the workout at about 23:40. Brutal. The only way I’d be able to finish this is in under 15 is do be able to do sets of 25 DU. RIIIGHT.

Monday - Barbara 3 rounds in 31:36

@work gym

Warmup: practice double unders and squat snatch practice (45#)
Got sets of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (PR) DU’s. Almost didnt’ want to stop for my workout.

Saturday @ Brand X 2 10 minute amraps

Alrighty then….it has been a long week. I did 5 workouts in six days. All of them tough. I’m glad three of them were at Brand X. It’s so much more motivating to be there having someone tell you to go faster because when you think you can’t, amazingly, you can!


Saturday AM @ Brand X.

Buy in @Brand X turned out to be my workout:

First time doing 200 for more than a single.

Did a little bit of handstand practice but then had to run.

Off topic - Go buy Dan's book.

Some of you know a fellow longtime CrossFitter, Dan Silver of TheArtofDanSilver infamy (mostly Work safe…If you aren’t familiar with him, go read his stuff, it’s funny stuff.)

Well, at long last his first novel has been published in Kindle format and is available on Amazon. Cop - A Novel

It’s a great story, about a tattooed, ex-punk rocker who applies for and is admitted to the San Francisco Police Academy. It’s based largely on Dan’s actual experiences. For 5.95 you can’t beat the cost, and it is readable on Kindle as well as iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Blackberry and PC kindle apps. I believe a Droid app is in the works.

If you download it drop me a line or comment! You won’t be disappointed, because it is funny, tragic, suspenseful, sarcastic and a very good read.

Wednesday - Row 5k 22:30

Rip McGhee.

We have too many heroes lost and not enough workout days to commemorate them. I think it’s fitting to always think of the men and women in service, whether military or peace officers and public safety, as we do our workouts. A bit of motivation to throw a little of our sweat and maybe a drop of blood on the floor in their honor.

Apologize for crossposting. And for those not familiar with CrossFit, "Headquarters" aka Greg and Lauren Glassman, dedicates a handful of named workouts a year to those who sacrifice their lives during sworn service.

Today's Workout of the Day is in Honor of another serviceman.

http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/005366.html

This was his fourth deployment, his first to Iraq. Ryan was engaged to Ashleigh Mitchell of Fredericksburg, VA. He is survived by his father Steven McGhee of Myrtle Beach S.C., his mother Sherrie Battle McGhee, and his brother Zachary.

Timing by BlackBerry

Grace @ home.

Did the Diablo CrossFit Saturday WOD : Grace.




My bar at home is brutal on the thumb skin, when you do the hook grip. I was slower also due to having to lower each rep. I could have gone faster. 9:22. My form was not great either. I think I got better as the workout went on.

Tuesday, finally did some running.

A little ramble….

I had jury duty today. I woke up at 0530 and cooked two eggs and ate them. In the car on the way to court, I ate a sliced orance and drank black coffee.

I took with me 2 boiled eggs, sliced oranges and a nut bar (almonds, peanuts and sunflower seeds mainly, 6g sugar) oh and an apple.
at 0900 I ate one egg and half an orange. Then I got a triple espresso at the coffee cart.
At Noon I went to the mall and got a soft corn shell taco - steak with an avocado slice and salsa. I forgot to have them leave off the cheese. Iced tea.
At 1530 I ate two beef kabobs at Daphnes with salad.
at 1600 I got to my friend’s house where she gave me clothing I never even thought i’d fit into.
At 1730 I drove home and got there at 1800. Bradley wanted to get points on his poke-walker so he asked me to walk up the the school, about .8 miles up hill, so I ran it with about three brief stops to let him catch up (riding bike up hill, harder than running). Finished around 10 minutes with no timer. Did some awkward KTE and pull ups on the monkey bars and that dome monkey climby thing. Did some handstands in the grass. Ran back home, downhill in 7:54
At 20:00 I ate two baked chicken thighs, coated with I’m sure some flour based seasoning that tastes delicious. I owe myself an orange or an apple

I feel great. That is all.

Thanks for listening.

PS I know, I know I didn’t eat any veggies. Salad and salsa don’t count. Tomorrow I’ll eat green stuff.

Wednesday - Rowing and Snatches.

Redid the rowing/db snatch workout from the 21st, that I didn't have a time for.


Row 1k
50 reps 30# db (power) snatches
Row 750m
35 reps 30# db snatches
Row 500m
25 reps 30# db snatches

Alternating between left and right arm, but not after every rep, mostly after 10 reps I would swtich.

23:32

Tuesday, 033110 - Nasty couplet

21-15-9
Hang Power Snatch 45#
Push ups.

All the snatches were unbroken. Pull ups, not so much.

Monday, 033010 - globo Helen 15:09

Helen

3 rounds
Run 400m (1/4 mile on treadmill)
21 Kb swings (35# db)
12 pull ups (on cable machine pull up bar)

15:09

Not comparing this to my BX Helen times. Considering this a starting place as I don't have a time for my last go at this in my office gym.

Friday @ Brand X - Double trouble

Wod 1:

3 rounds of
20 double unders (barrier side to side if you can't do d/u)
1 rope climb (either 15' or 18', not sure, but second tape from top)
15 DB thrusters (total 1/2 bw for both db)
Only finished 2 rounds.

(Started with 30# db and switched to 25#, then I did all the doubleunders in first round, but wasted time in second round because I was too tired to do more than 1 at a time, then rope broke and I finished 2nd round using the barrier. )

rest 5 minutes

3 rounds of
20 pull ups
20 1 arm db snatch (1/4 bw db) 10 each arm

Used the 25# db and finished at 25:22 I think.

Row 2K 8:58 and rowing mechanics

A comment posted here, a pointer to some videos by Lincoln Brigham and Some demonstration by Sven Handstred led me to lower my strokes/minute, slow my recovery and do a few quick pulls to jumpstart the row.

I saw my 500m pace jump briefly and my first 500m warmup was 2:14. Not a record.

My 2k was 8:58.1 - 6 seconds slower than my all time PR.

2 500m follow up rows were 2:15 and 2:18.


I will work on my technique, my second pulls and my foot position. I am short. I don't know that the lower strokes per second will shorten my times but at least I might save some precious energy so that my 500m pace does not slow down to 2:30 by the end of a 5k row.

Tuesday @ Brand X - Bar MU, HSPU mods, Cleans

@Brand X 6:30p

Buy In Push Press, 3’s or 5’s.

Thanks DD, Marla and SuperSwede for the coaching.

The girls working out tonight were all awesome and tough. I’m sure the boys were, too.

Adenda: Max set of push ups 25

I believe previous PR was 21.

OH MY GOD that was hard. I wonder if I can get 30 good, plank to floor push-ups in a row ever.

WOD from 100321

For time:
Row 1K (4:36)
30 pound Dumbbell snatch, 50 reps
Row 750m
30 pound Dumbbell snatch, 35 reps
Row 500m
30 pound Dumbbell snatch, 20 reps

These are one-arm squat snatches, alternating arms.

Really I can’t put down the words I said when I realized my timer was stopped at 00:03:1….


I know I started it at just about 4:30 and looked at the clock in my status bar on phone after swearing for a full 30 seconds at it said 4:49, so I’m gonna call it 20 minutes.

Qualifications: : I did power snatches, mostly because I’m so used to them and secondly after rowing for 1000m the first one seemed kinda dangerous to try to squat with weight overhead. And as to alternating….I did the first round in a 5/5 switching pattern, the second set I did 10R, 13L, 7R, 5L; third set I did 8R, 7L, 5R

Saturday - Makeup Day, Front Squats, 100 burpees

Had to do some Front Squats to soothe my ego from yesterday.

did
95x5
125x3

Tried 145x3 and only got one rep. Tried again twice and failed on singles. So work on Front Squat needed.

9:38! Broke 10 minutes which I have been dying to do for-ever.

1-20 :51
21-60: 3:46
61-80: 2:33
81-100: 2:26

Concentrated on touching whole body on ground, setting back in squat before jumping, and droping back to ground as quickly as possible.

Resting at the top of a burpee is a waste of time. This is my conclusion.

Friday @ Brand X - 50M sprint, Thrusters, Burpees

Buy in: Front Squat 3-5 set Max

warmed up with 95….then got 1 rep at 145…tried 145 again and failed a single…then failed 135…

200m Run
Bar muscle ups from squat
10 cleans, 115

Body Weight
I need to do more cleans with heavier weight than 95#. Psyched myself out. Spent too much time looking at the bar. Only failed a couple and caught the last rep in a full squat to make sure I didn’t drop it. “A squat clean is nothing more than a missed power clean.” Pretty sure that’s Rip. Or is it Coach B…hmmmm.

Tuesday @ Brand X - Cindy's Snatch

Monday - WOD 100222 Row 5K 22:47

Rowed 5K

22:47

Widened my hands to as far out on the handles as I could about halfway through and gained about 5-10 seconds/500m on my pace. Next time I will start with the wider grip and see if I can break my previous pr of 22:36.

I know I can break 22:00 I just KNOW it.

Also, before I started I did a set of 10 pull ups on the cable machine pull up attachment. PR by 4. I think my pr on flat bar at BX is 16. I can get that.

Over zealous on the 10 x2 backsquats every 60 seconds WOD:

So got a double on a recently bested one rep max(180#) and bailed my 1st rep of 190 (which I've hit once) on my phone which was sitting on the bench near my squat rack.

It survived...

So back squat warmup
5x135
5x155

Then 2x
165
170
175
180
185

& failed 190 on first rep. At that point all concentration lost, and I was done.

PR on the 2x180 and on my warm up set of 5x155. Coulda been worse.

Saturday, 30 muscleups for time 12:40

Was just messing around with squat muscle ups for a buy in, or more to buy time while I decided what my "hobogym" workout would be.

Got some nice deep ones done so I decided to to the 30 musclups for time thing, paying attention to the dip and forcing mysyelf to pull my arms in to my torso when the dip was not working.

Only failed 2!

finished 15 in about 7 minutes. Did the last 15 by 12:40.

My last run at this was definitely faster at 8:42 but I remember being disappointed with the depth of my dips.

I'm happy with this. Faster next time.

3 rounds of cindy, during third break

etc.

Eating for Wed and Thurs 2/4 - 2/5

Having a hard time weaning off the sugar again...

Wednesday, I had eggs and bacon for bfast, lunch was meatfest at Hyatt Regency event, 1 tiny slice of bread, asparagus, salad greens with macadamia nuts in. Dinner was...pot roast. Ate a bite of the potato but the veggie was the roasted carrots. I ate a quanity that exceeded my zone block RX prolly by 2x I think. Ate popcorn for snack with some mini peperoni...not a great paleo snack.

Thursday...no breakfast. Lunch was about 3-4 oz sliced turkey (baked or roasted but tasted salty like it were brined maybe) Bunch of sauteed squash, and baked sweetpototato (yam?). No bread or sugar. Dinner was....baked chicken thigh, but I did have the BBQ sauce. I have to get me a buffalo wing coating that is spicy and not sweet. I like the thighs baked because they are juicy no matter what you do to em. Did not snack except a tiny handful of the pepperoni. Yah...bad fat. Oh crap, forgot I probably "tasted" the ice cream I served my husband for dessert to the tune of about 1/4 cup.

I'm sure that I need to pare down my quantities as well as resist the sugary condiments much better. Time to start weighing and measuring again.

Snacking on almonds too.

Thursday - 7-7-7-7 Pwr Snatch, Snatch Balance, OHS

Did Saturday's WOD at office gym:

7 rounds
7 power snatch
7 snatch balance (I stupidly did Sott's press with 65# in first round. Cost me 2 extra minutes.)
7 ohs

65# barbell - which 3 snatches into the first round I considered a grave mistake!

Call it 36 min due to timer malfunction in second round and had to restart timer and add the two two times. At five rounds I was at at about 30 minutes. Decided to do a sixth round. Then decided it was only one more round.

Certain this is practically a slog but I was sweat-soaked and out of breath at the end, and I did the 7th round in about 3.5 minutes. I think I'll do this again without the first round eff up and try to get 28 minutes.

Back squat singles:
Warmup: 135x10

Row 5K

very tough...a setting on the rower that counts DOWN the 5k. A mental kick in the ass seeing how far you have to go and the projected finishing time...almost puked. I need to get back on the track with my diet.

snack almonds and blackberries (needed protein)

Lunch: 2 boiled eggs, 1 tangerine (small) 1/2 cup black berries.

Grace at Brand X.

(30 x Clean and Jerk @ 95#)

6:24 -20 seconds.

Walked in, fully expecting to produce a 9+ time. I love me some Brand X motivation!

Thursday - Jackie as Rxd 13:30

PR by 1:30

Row 1K (1000m)
50 Thrusters 45#
30 pull ups

For my non crossfitting friends:

Rowing is on a C2 rower in my gym. Just row until the machine clicks over 1000m.
Thruster is with an olympic barbell with no weights added. You do a front squat then transition to a push press on the way up. You use your hip extension to drive the bar up if you're smart!
Pull ups are Kipping on a pull up bar attached to a machine in the gym. A little harder than using the bars at my crossfit Gym. Getting better at it.

This is faster than my previous attempt in october. PR = Personal Record. In crossfit, you mostly compete against your own best times. And the big dawgs who are much faster than you as extra motivation.

Monday - WOD 012510 Row/Thrusters

Five rounds for time of:

Row 500 meters
135 pound thruster, 7 reps

Post time to comments.

95# for women

23:43

In my office gym, with barbell outside and rower inside. Gym and outside area full of guys using dumbells, cable machines, bosu balls, ski machines, recumbent bikes and leg press and butterfly machines.

Loaded bar with 4 10# plates and 2 5# plates. To give myself an out to drop 10# in case I had to break the 95# thrusters too much. Allowed myself one break per round. All rounds broken, 4, 3.

Not unhappy with that time at all. Heavy Metcon, I actually like it. Travel between rower and barbell actually probably kept me from dying but added a couple minutes to workout.
