Leg Day, 1.5 Mile Run

Strength
Big strength day on the legs today. Today was a nasty compilation of overhead squats, front squats, and back squats. After those I did some stability work and finished with high rep hamstring curls, needless to say I was stumbling in to the break room after this one.

10 Minute AMRAP
1 Muscle Up
10 Dips
20 Wall Balls
30 Double Unders
TOTAL 5 Rounds 11 Reps

WOD 2
7 Minute AMRAP
Max Double Unders
*Every minute on the minute do 10 GHD Sit Ups
TOTAL Double Unders 264
*I thought of this horrible combination this evening. It was a great wod, I can feel my body slowly acclimating to the GHD machine and the change in levels my body goes through while performing sit ups on it. I had a headache after but it wasn't near as bad as previous GHD WODs!

Burpee/ Bear Complex/ Lunge, G2OH/ Row

2-12-12

"Battle in the Burbs"

WOD 1
5 Rounds for Time
10 Burpees
1 Bear Complex (100 lb. Sandbag)
2 Lunges (100 lb Sandbag)
TIME 3:23
*My "official" time on this wod was 3:28 but I looked at the clock after the sandbag hit the floor and it said 3:23. I am not one to argue with a judge so I let it go but if I ever do this wod again I want to compare to my actual 3:23 time.

WOD 2
For Time
37 Ground to Overhead (135)
1,000 M Row
TIME 7:17
*Another great wod by the CrossFit Naperville crew. I liked the way this was designed. The goal was to get 5,000 pounds from the ground to over your head. You could either use 95 lbs for 53 reps, 135 lbs for 37 reps or 165 for 30 reps. I chose 135 because I thought I could keep a decent pace without risking injury. I finished right around where I thought I could. I didn't kick up my rowing until 150 meters out and looking back I think I could have pushed the pace for the last 200-250 m. I chalk the entire weekend up as a great learning experience with great friends!

37 Ground to Overhead (135)
 1,000 M Row

DL/ T2B, Sprint/ Wall Balls

WOD 1
5 Rounds for Time
15 Deadlifts (185)
15 Toes 2 Bar
TIME 7:30
*I did this wod back in August and finished in 7:18, I attribute the difference in time to muscle fatigue from the GHD sit ups I did yesterday. My forearms fatigued a lot faster than usual too. No excuses though, getting better everyday.

WOD 2
3 Rounds for Time
120 M Sprint
25 Wall Balls
TIME 4:48
*I did this wod in preperation for Saturday's competition. It gave me good practice on wall balls. I have started to enjoy shuttle runs, kind of sick, I know.

Double Unders/ KB Swings

WOD 1
5 Rounds for Time
25 Double Unders
25 KB Swings (53)
TIME 6:12
*KB Swings are my forte, with that said I felt really good during this wod. I only messed up once on my double unders and that was because my shoe lace came undone. Lesson learned - double knot!

WOD 2
5 Rounds for Time
60 Yard Sled Push (180lbs + Sled)
15 Pull Ups
15 GHD Sit Ups
TIME 15:55
*This one was absolutely horrible. I dropped to my knees twice during the workout. The sled is no joke and the GHD sit ups might have ruined my day. Looking forward to doing these more often!

Box Jumps (2/7/12)

WOD 1
For Time
150 Box Jumps (25", NOT game standard but open hips at the top)
TIME 6:56
* I did this wod purely because of my poor performance yesterday. I still didn't find a rhythm until I was 50 some reps in. I did 75 in 3:39 and I finished in 6:56, basically what this means is I jumped much too slow for the first 75.

Muscle Ups/ Sled Pull, Box J/ Thrusters/ Burpees (2/6/12)

WOD 1
20 Minute AMRAP
Max Muscle Ups (Not game standard, performed from flexed arm hang)

*Score is total Muscle Ups
TOTAL 30 Reps
*I did more consecutive Muscle Ups in this wod than I ever have before. This wod felt great! Slowly working on my Muscle Up form and validity.

WOD 2
12 Minute AMRAP
12 Box Jumps(25", NOT Games Standard but open hips at the top)
6 Thrusters(95)
6 Bar Facing Burpees
TOTAL 7 Rounds 12 Reps
*I will be doing this wod again, soon! I got my A$$ handed to me on this one. My box jumps were terrible, I had no rhythm out of the bottom. I plan on working on these a lot before the open.

Row/ G2OH/ T2B/ Burpees (2/5/12)

WOD 1
3 RFT
15 Calories (Row)
15 Ground to Overhead (145)
15 Toes to Bar
15 Burpees
TIME 14:59
*I did this wod at home in my basement, frustrating doesn't even begin to describe this experience. The collars I chose to use were suppose to be heavy duty collars that wont move, they weren't and they moved. I spent a couple breaks pushing my bumpers in. Other than that I realized how much attention my Ground to Overhead movement needs. As of right now I do NOT feel ready for next Saturday.

Double Unders, 1,000 M Row

WOD 1
For Time
300 Double Unders
TIME 4:27
*There's good news and bad news with this wod. Good news is my first 141 double unders were unbroken! Bad news is I was competely spent after those 141! 141 in a row is a PR for me, previously 103 was my best.

WOD 2
For Time
1,000 M Row
TIME 3:13.3
*New PR on the rower today. My old PR was 3:15 I believe. This wod felt great until I got off the rower. The taste of blood was lingering in my mouth for a while after this one and my legs felt bound up like rubberbands.
