Weird Rower

3 rounds:

Time- 22:00

This is the rower I used at the Weck's house.  It's weird, filled with water and really creates the feeling of rowing!  I don't like it as much as the Concept 2's because you can't sprint or adjust the resistance.  But, it's different and kinda cool!


30 Hour Drive

2 more days off while driving across the country.  Not so fun.

REST DAY

Today is a much needed rest day.  And the next two days are travel days, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do anything until Thursday.  I think it may be a good thing though, I'm feeling pretty beat up.

Tabata Something Else!

Wabasha Workout Weekend!  I love this gym!  Kristi worked out with me today.  She crushed it.

5 x 5 DL @177#
5 x 5 Bench Press @ 75/80/80/85/85#

WOD:   "Tabata Something Else"

                        Kristi      Bean    
Pullups              3             5            My goal was 10, I did 10-8-8-6-6-5-5-5
Pushups            11           8             My goal was 10, I did 10-10-9-9-9-8-8-8
Situps               11           11
Squats              17           15           My goal was 18, I did 18-18-17-17-16-16-15-15
Total               42            39

So yeah, I was pretty disappointed with myself, but I was pretty sore and tired going into todays workout.  That's no excuse, but I do think I would have done better if I was fresh.  Definitely ready for a recovery day.

Volleyball!

Played 4 hours of volleyball this morning with a bunch of the WSU alumni.  This is definitely the longest I've gone without playing literally since 8th grade.  It was fun but I realized I don't just miss volleyball, I miss beach volleyball.  Indoor just doesn't do it for me the way sand does.  But, I'll take what I can get!

Wabasha Workout
5 x 5 Power Snatch @77/82/82/82/82#
5 x 5 OH Squat @77#  (I was sucking at these really bad)

Hero WOD: "Blake"
4 rounds:
100 ft. OH walking lunge with 10kg plate
30 Box Jumps 24"
20 Wall Ball 12#
10 HSPU (attempts)

Time- 25:56

My HSPU definitely weren't legit.  I thought I could kip them (even though I've never tried) but then realized after the first round that my shoulders were burnt after the OH lunges and Wall Balls.  It was a good one!

Work It Out

Alright, time to work out the rest of the soreness.   Abs still super sore when I warmed up on the rower.

5 x 5 Squat Clean @ 88/99/103.4/110/118.8#  PR!! 


 My previous 1RM was 113# and I did 5 @118.8#, so my estimated 1RM now is 134# (ha, yeah right).

5 x 5 Front Squat @ 110/121/121/121/121#

Todays Main Site WOD:

21 DL @132#

15 Push Press
9 DL
50 Squats
9 Push Press

Time- 12:46

Unbelievably Sore

I had to take the last two days off because I was so sore.  It's funny, that workout was one that I made up, something I haven't done in a long time and it made me more sore than any of the other WOD's. I wonder why?
I'm really pissed that the gym isn't open on the weekends.  I'm going to miss two days of lifting this week because of it.  And two days next week when we drive out to CA.

Crappy WOD

UK/ Ireland Sectional WOD:

50 Double Unders
3 rounds of 3 GTOH 30kg/ 10 toes to bar
40 DU's
2 rounds of 3 GTOH/ 10 toes to bar
30 DU's
1 round of 3 GTOH/ 10 toes to bar

Time- 11:23

The fastest time for this WOD was 7:19 but the 2nd fastest was 13:14.  If only I could do toes to bar!

I had to switch to GHD situps right away because my hands were tore up from yesterdays pullups.  I sucked on the first 50 DU's, couldn't get in a rhythm with my shitty jumprope.  I need a new one.  And it was too short and easy after I switched to GHD situps.  It would have been a better workout if it had just been 3 rounds of  50 DU's and 3 rounds of 3 GHOH/ 15 GHD situps.  Next time.

Something is better than nothing!

June 1st

Wow, what happened to May? I can't believe it's June already and we're leaving for California in less than 2 weeks!  Crazy!

5 x 1 Power Clean @ 121/123/123/123/121

5 x 1 Strict Press @ 81/88/90/90/90

WOD: 20 minute AMRAP
5 pullup
10 wall ball 12#
15 KB swing 14kg

10 rounds

My goal was to do a round every two minutes and that's exactly what I did!

Florida Sectional WOD

Week 3

weigh-in @ 137#  good god. The weekend was not good to me.

5 x 1 Back Squat @ 176#
5 x 1 Strict Pullup

WOD:
3 minutes max box jumps 20"    115 reps
1 minute REST
3 minutes max pullups     35 reps
1 minute REST
3 minutes max thruster 83#     15 reps
Score: total reps 165

**The top score for this WOD at the Florida Sectional was 160.  I won my first workout!**

Regional WOD #2

Thruster work up 1RM
88/99/110/117/ 119  PR!
Previous PR was 113#

CrossFit Games Thruster Ladder:
105-115-125-130-135 etc.
So I only would have been able to do the first two.  Not good.

DL 5x3 @ 176#

WOD:
"Jackie"
1000m row             4:07 PR!!
50 thrusters 33#
30 pullups

Time- 10:19 with a 52 second transition because of the stairs.  Without that, I would have PR'd for sure.  This is the first time I've done "Jackie" Rx'd, so it was a PR anyway.  The last time I did it with jumping pullups and finished in 10:15

And, I PR'd in my 1000m row!
