October 10, 2007

October 10, 2007
ring rows - 10, 10
jump rope - 100 singles -57 seconds
handstand practice - 5 minutes

3 rounds for time of:
10 burpees
10 pull-ups
10 sandbag halfmoons (5 each side) w/40# duffel bag (hope nothing broke in there!)

Total time - 6:58 - 1:34/2:22/3:02

Notes:
-CA WOD 10OCT2007
-Didn't do the strength portion because I worked out at home.
-Metcon - felt good, the pull-ups were definitely what slowed me down the most. I wasn't sure I was doing the half moon things correctly.

October 9, 2007

First thing is first, I'm an idiot! If i had read the WOD info I would have known that if it says 3 x 5 it's 5 sets of 3 reps. NOT 3 sets of 5 reps. I only realized my error today.

foot mobility drills ~25m
running drills ~10m

800m repeats w/3:45 rest - 3:45, 3:44, first 400m 1:53, last 400m done

Burgener warmup - 45 x 1
muscle clean + tall clean - 45 x 2 x 1+1, 95 x 1+1, 95 x 1+1, 95 x 1+1, 115 x 1+1, 115 x 1+1

3 rounds for time:
4 per side (3 KB snatch + 1 OHS) -16kg KB
15 clapping push-ups
25 push ball -20 pound Dynamax MB

1st round - 3:26
2nd round - did half RX'ed reps, 3:05
3rd round - nonexsistent, I was wiped!

glute bridge - 12, 12
kb halos - 10# x 5CL/CCL, 10# x 5CL/CCL

Stretches - death, sleeper, calf

Notes:
-800m repeats - I was shooting for 3:45 per 800m, the 3rd repeatI felt destroyed after the first 400m's so I called it quits to do the WOD.
-CA WOD 9OCT2007
-muscle clean + tall clean - I definitely could have gone a little heavier here
-push jerk + split jerk - muscle cleaned it up and alternated leading legs on the split jerk. The first set felt awkward but the last 2 sets felt great, definitely could have maintained speed at a heavier weight.
-Metcon - Felt like crap after the first round, reduced the number of reps, still felt like crap, so I called it a day. After this coming Saturdays PT test I can be running on the backburner a little bit to focus more on the prescribed training.

(superset with full rest - 90 seconds)

Couldn't remember what the metcon workout was so I made it up with the exercises I did remember
3 rounds:
5 glute ham raises
5 glute ham raise situps
3 1-arm DB split snatch (per arm) w/35 #'s(heaviest DB in this area)
time- no idea, didn't think to time the thing until I was halfway through the 2nd round.

Notes:
-Run #4 - Not a PR for the 2 mile but it's better than my run on May 22nd.
-My first CA WOD - the gym bought a bunch of new things i.e. bumpers and a GHR this past week, it was like Christmas in July! This is somewhat messed up because I wasn't planning on doing this when I went to the gym today so I didn't write it all down.
-Clean+push jerk - Because of my horrible memory I did these all from the ground and didn't remember till the last set it was supposed to be somewhat light
-snatch balance - the first few sets felt good, the last set I didn't lock my arms out fast enough and the barbell kind of crashed on me, ouch.
-Pullups - One thing I don't like is the pullup bars they have in this new "crossfit room" They had the dip/pullup metal thing and an assisted pullup machine. The pullup bars on the dip combo were way too wide.
-ring pushups - feet elevated on a box - rough
-3 rounds - never done a GHR situp before, the story about the guy with the swollen balls and the GHR situp kept running through my head.

-Planks and Ring rows - Ouch
-Finisher - Sprints - Was going to do some repeats but after the first 400m my calves were cramping a little so I tried a 100m and had no problem so I did 100m's and rest was ~ how long it took back to walk back to starting point so 1:00-1:30 per sprint. These felt good near the end.

Notes:

-I snagged this 20 1 rep singles from Chad waterbury's latest article jsut to try it out, it was actually a lot harder than I thought it'd be due to the 30 seconds of rest, that was barely enough time to get the dip belt on and tag my workout log.
-Dips - Could have gone up in weight
-Power Snatches - all from the floor, could have gone up a little bit

Finisher - 400m's at goal pace = 0

Notes:
-Following Tony Gentilcore's latest program Day 5
-Front squats - 190 was pretty rough on the last set, The rack wasn't availible at first so I had to power clean it up for the first few sets.
-T-bar row - 90 was hard not too bad, could go up to 95
-band resisted push-ups- I think trying to get the band to stay put was more challenging than the exercise itself, the band kept slipping onto my neck.
-DB Push press - PRessed for time so I changed it from 1-arm to both arms. A bit more of a metabolic hit than doing the 1-arm version.
-Finisher - Started my first 400m, calves cramped up badly after the first 100m's I knew it was time to call it a day.

Notes:
-Following Tony Gentilcore's latest program Day 1

-pullups - why the heck does it feel like such a struggle to get 4 sets of 6???
-Alt. incline and BSS - Heck of a circuit, this kicked my ass again! Stayed at the same weights as last week.
-Planks and Ring rows - Ouch
-Finisher #2- Tabata ring dips - now this was just a terrible idea, my stabilizers were FRIED after the first 4 go's the last 4 were a STRUGGLE to get 3 reps per 20 seconds. This one is a keeper.

-100m strides - These actually felt good after I walked over to the track, no foot pain, really concentrated on a good footstrike.
-Needed the foam rolling a lot, hurts so good.

-T-bar row - I can't remember the last time I used that apparatus, 85 was hard but doable, I'll up it to 95? next week.
-band resisted push-ups- I think trying to get the band to stay put was more challenging than the exercise itself, the band kept slipping onto my neck.
-Finisher #4- I started light at an empty bar since the first time I did this complex I started waaay too heavy my time ranged from 89 -120 seconds to complete each circuit resting between 45-60 seconds between sets. Next time I'll throw on a 2 10's
