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

5x135,
5x185,
3x195 ,
2x200(f 3rd rep).
1x200.
5x135 (felt light, but thumbnails too long for hook grip.

yelled "Don't touch it!" to girlfriend spotting me on last set. She said, I get nervous! I said, if it starts to go DOWN you can touch it.
Maybe 5x95 is a PR my 3 rep MAX is 105.

Sunday, Workout at Home - AMRAP Power Snatch/Push ups
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
65 pound Power snatch, 12 reps
10 Push-ups
Post rounds completed to comments.
Compare to 070109.
I scaled it to 45#, assuming Coach Garddawg would want me to go fast and not be pigheaded.
Got 8 rounds, 12 power snatch + 5 push ups. Checked stopwatch at 19:58 so guessing I would not have gotten 5 more push ups in that time.

Monday, 11/2 Annie PR 17:46
50-40-30-20-10
Double Unders
Sit ups
I was really happy with my muscles remembering how to do multiple d/u. I did mostly sets of 4 or 5 but I got a set of 11, and a couple of 8 & 9s. Didn’t have an abmat, so used a fold up mat with my back on the mat and my behind and feet on the floor. Seems to have kept me from getting the dreaded “monkey butt.”
Was very happy when I finished to find my time at 17:46. A PR even better than when I was working out 5 days a week. I hurt today. Abs and hamstrings.

2000-2100: decompress
2100-2200: bedtime routine for boy
2200-2230: shower
2230-2300: some chore while watching tv
2330-0030: bedtime routine for laura
Clearly this is not optimal.
I have to be in office at 9am and reuired to stay til 6pm.
I don't have a good place to work out at home becuase my spaces have been appropriated by storage, and I can't stay in Ramona til the 830 Brand X class is over or it will 9:30 or later when I get to work. I can't get to bed earlier, and I won't wake up to go to BX at 0600 or 0630.
Also I won't give up coffee shop because I don't have an alternative social time anymore.
I could skip lunch to workout but that is difficult unless I go at a light time.
Maybe I will take my lunch at 2pm and workout. It's not as nice as being able to go to the gym at 530 (which was nixed by boss) and leave for home and be there by seven.

Tuesday, Box Steps and Push Press
At home…remind me never to use my iPod for timing a workout using lap meter at same time as using for music.
5 rounds
25 box step ups to bench
25 push press 55#
Hit the stop button instead of lap button at end of lap two and didn’t notice til end of round three it was stopped.
Total for rounds 1,2,4,5 12:04, so evenly completed at about 3 min per round so about 15 if you add 3 min for round 3.

Climb walls 4', 5', 6'.

Stair runs 5 x 63 steps each way
Climb 6 wall again
Traverse monkey bars.
Fun.
Wednesday: An old couplet of my invention
21-15-9
Thrusters 65#
Push ups
The first time I did this couplet, it took me 20:39. The second time it took me 9:57 a year later, and todayit took me about8:30 but the time is an estimate because I stopped the timer before I realized I had 9 more push ups to do! CURSES!
I did the first 21 thrusters in 1:59. 16/5
21 push ups, 15 thrusters, 15 push ups, 9 thrusters in 6:44.
9 push ups done after the timer. grrrr.
I have to do it again now.

Monday - Thruster/HPC/SDHP
Complete as many rounds as possible 20 minutes of:
65 pound Thruster, 5 reps
65 pound Hang Powercleans, 7 reps
65 pound Sumo Deadlift High-pull, 10 reps
6 rounds + 5 thrusters (Exactly the same as last time)
At about 5 minutes in, some woman actually lay down with her head off the end of the bench press bench (the one you can’t move because it’s bolted to the floor) to do dumbbell exercises about 8 inches from where my bar was traveling from ground to chin 60 times during SDHP. I told her not to worry it would help me make sure I kept a very narrow path of bar travel.
Friday @ BX, Oct 2 - Run a Mile
Thruster singles, 85, 95, 105
Sprints
