Games WOD 2

15 minute AMRAP:
9 155# deadlift
12 hand release push ups
15 24" box jumps

7 full rounds plus 9 dl, 12 push ups, 7 box jumps

Score = 280

Goal for WOD will be 300+.  That's one rep every 3 seconds.  Felt strong on deadlift. Box jumps OK.  Push ups...weak!

Main site WOD as Rx:

75 squats
50 pull ups
20 ring dips
----
50 squats
35 pull ups
15 ring dips
----
25 squats
20 pull ups
10 ring dips

Rx time = 20:22

Got 35 pull ups unbroken in first set. I think I got 6 rings dips unbroken, then had mostly singles with a few doubles. Vince held my feet on the last 2 of final set and gave me a "little" assistance...still probably the most difficult ring dips of the WOD.

My chest is very tight and sore..I'm guessing tomorrow and the next day aren't gonna be fun!!

10..1

10..1 (12:39)
165# back squat
24" burpee box jump

then (13:08)
225# deadlift
24" box jump

then (17:32)
45# OHS (Rx 95#, but it wasn't happening, so I scaled)
burpee pull ups

WOD time 43:19

I took almost 4 minutes to change weights to begin the 3rd set, then had to drop the 25# plates when I figured out I needed to scale back to 45#. Lower back got pretty tight during deadlifts. Most of the box jumps during the DL round were step ups.

Games WOD 1.....Again!

third times a charm?

Got 5 full rounds plus 22 double unders...247!

Started doing today's WOD...
21-15-9
225# deadlift
135# OHS

I knew the OHS would be tough, so I decided to go to failure, then drop weight...10# per failure until I got the reps done.

I got the 21 DL, then did 3 OHS @ 135, 2 @ 125, 0 @ 115 (off balance), and 5 @ 95 and was done for the day.

med ball action

5 rounds for time:
15 20# med ball cleans
15 20# wall ball

Focused on form: For the clean...started each rep with ball on the floor, "stand" up, shrug, drop, catch, stand up, drop ball...etc. For the wall ball - full squat, ball must hit wall on throw.

I knew this would be a leg killer, and it was.

Round times: 1:40, 1:55, 2:23, 2:22, 2:07 = total 10:27

I'm sure I could've gone faster, but I seemed to chase the ball a little bit after each drop. For the last set, I tried to keep my hands on the ball so it wouldn't get away.

10k? Not today!

Main site WOD was a 10k, but Jared and I opted for a self-programmed WOD:

Intended on 5 rounds, but ended up doing a 30 minute AMRAP/hybrid and ended up going 32:43 and did:

Three rounds of:
30 - 53# KB swings
30 - 35# one arm KB swings (15 each arm)
30 - 70# push press

with 140m sandbag runs between each round. Total sandbad runs for the WOD was:
3 @ 80#
3 @ 64#
3 @ 50#
3 @ 42#

each sandbag run started in my driveway, down to the sign in Crampton's yard and back. The sandbag had to be dropped at the starting point, so it had to be picked up and re-shouldered before "running" again.

Tough WOD on the lower back. Maybe a 10k wouldn't have been such a bad idea!

CrossFit at the Arnold

What a great weekend!

Started off by doing Fran, then we were put into teams based on our times. My PR before this was 5:27 and I hoped to beat that time, with my ultimate goal of a sub 5. I got through 21 thrusters unbroken, but was worn down more than I thought I would be. Second and third round of thrusters consisted of several breaks. Time = 6:47. Turns out our 95# thrusters at the depot were probably more like 90# since the bumpers are light...BIG DIFFERENCE!

Team events were next. I had the middle section of the 2010 Games finals WOD which was 7 minutes of 30 toes to bar and 15 95# GTO. I got 90 reps (2 full rounds). Pretty happy with that one.

Second event was team Grace - 90 reps of 135# GTO. The other 2 guys on the team were much stronger and decided they'd go all out and I'd just jump in when they got tired. I ended up doing 10 unbroken, then got 8 more during their breaks.

Third event was to pick up a 100# slam balls, carry it to the wall, "toss" it over, climb the wall, pick the ball up, and run back to the line. Not sure how many reps I got, but it was fun.

After that, my team was tied with Tim's so we had a final event. 6 60# balls had to be carried by our team from a line, down aroud the wall on the other end, and brought back. I showed off my blazing speed and strength, and got last, so our team was done...or so we thought.

We were added to the next event, which was 10 minutes of 225# axle deadlift, while the other 2 guys were running laps. Since I couldn't lift the axle, I was the designated runner. I just ran laps while the other guys did their thing. We didn't make the cut. Game over!
