Now I remember

The previous post I forgot the other workout I did:

Christine

500m row
BW Deadlift (180) 12x
24" box jump 21x

15:44

The frustrating thing about this one was that on my last set, the row machine stopped working so I had to count the number of pulls instead of meters. For whatever reason, the set before I was counting pulls and it took me 33 to get to just over 250, so I decided to do 66 pulls. Either way, I really enjoyed doing this W.O.D

In other news....

still working on the handstands....still getting better
Another trainer took my measurements:

Height: 6'
Weight: 178.5
BF: 12.3%
Chest: 39"
Upper Arms: 12"
Waist: 31 3/4"
Hips: 35 3/4"
Thighs: 19 1/2"

Basically I'm like an Anaconda. Quick, powerful, lean and muscular. :-D

I did Diane. Unfortunately I had no way of timing it.

21-15-9
225 Deadlift
Handstand push ups

The deadlifts were surprisingly the easy part. The first set of handstand push ups I got 8 before having to put a Bosu ball under my head and use that to help out. The deadlifts I broke up into 7's on the first set. The second set I was able to do 10 and 5. The third set I did all 9. I've never been this strong with deadlifts before and I alwalys hated them. I enjoy the deadlift now.

Couple C-Fits

AH...

as many rounds in 20 (or "20" in spanish) minutes of:
5 Thrusters 95lbs
7 Hanging Power Cleans 95 lbs
10 SDHP 95 lbs

7 full rounds
5 thrusters
3 HPC

My best time so far on one of my most favorite, yet equally most hated CFit workouts. Another trainer did this one. Said he thought he was going to throw up. Made me smile. I love you Crossfit.

As I'm writing this I'm totally spacing on the second workout I did...so while i attempt to think of that:
My handstands are getting better and while i still need the wall behind me I can balance for a few more seconds than I have ever been able to. They are getting better.

I can't think of the other crossfit workout. I'll be back with it.

My Little Pony

My Little Pony:
for time:

21-15-9
Squats
Push ups
Pull ups

21-15
DB swing 55lbs
Dips

21
95lb Sumo Dead lift to High Pull

15-21
Curl to push press 35lbs
hanging power clean 95lbs

9-15-21
Pull ups
Stability ball single arm chest press 55lbs
Lunge (done 10-16-22)

Total time: 44:55

A couple things I noticed. My left arm is significantly weaker than my right arm (this being noticed through the curl to push press and single arm SB chest press), my shoulder is still a bit screwy, as, while I was doing the db swing I hit my leg on the way down with my arm and it pushed it in a strange way just to tweak it.

With the SB Chest press I had to drop the weight down to 45 after the set of 9 on each arm.

G.I. Joe

With my own workouts, instead of naming them after girls like crossfit, I will be naming them after 80's cartoons (and some early 90's cartoons) as well as disney cartoon movies. This first one was titled: GI Joe and it goes a little something like this:

For time:
Row 2000 meters
100 meters walking lunge with 30lb db

superset:
21-15-9
50lb burpee + clean and press
dips

superset:
21-15-9
95lb thrusters
12lb wall ball pass

Superset:
1 minute 55lb db swing
1 minute 24" box jump
(A running minute, so don't stop when you stop.)

400 meter run w/squats and push ups
In the gym its 5 laps around for a 400 so adding the squats and push ups went like this:
First lap:15 sqauts at each corner.
Second lap: 10 push ups at each corner
3rd lap: 15 squats each corner
4th lap: 10 push ups at each corner
5th lap: 15 squats at each corner

so that comes out to
push ups: 80
squats: 180

Time: 1 hour. 2 min. 53 seconds

This workout sucked. I will do it again as I want to get under 1 hour. But damn. I was sore! (still am a bit)

The burpee clean and press I actually had to use 60's as some dude was already using the 50 for bicep curls. bleh.

I also am aware that there are timed exercises in this workout that should be done as quickly as possible. Too fricken bad. if anyone was planning on doing this in under 2 minutes, then they can complain. Also, the more i think about it: everyone has that handicap attached to the workout, so its gotta be dealt with.

Linda and Cindy

Saturday. Linda. Ugh.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Deadlift: 1.5xBW
Bench: BW
Clean: 3/4 BW

DL: 280 (rounded up from 277)
B: 185
C: 135

I was really excited to try this one as last time it took me one hour to get to 8. I made it the first round doing 280 for deadlift, but had to lower it to 230 after that. Bench dropped to 135. Could have gone a little higher, but as far as even doing my BW, i made it half way down before it started killing my right shoulder (which is getting better, but very slowly). Cleans were gold.
I made it to 3 and the first rep on 3 for the deadlift I felt a sharp pain in my lower back quickly come in and then fade. It's better now. I threw some muscle rub on it and took a hot bath, which helped a little. Fortunately it's nothing too bad, as I can walk and function all right...just needed some time to heal.

Tuesday:
Cindy
as many rounds in 20 min
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats

PR! 18 rounds + 5 pull ups. Fantastic. I'm happy. I would like to break 20 soon. I'll get there!
