5 tons for time

Rotate through deadlift, back squat, press (the 3 CF total lifts) until you've successfully lifted 10,000.  Below is posted deadlift, back squat, press, round total, cumulative total, time:

315, 245, 125, 685, 685, time?
315, 245, 125, 685, 1370, time?
315, 245, 125, 685, 2055, 3:03
315, 245, 125, 685, 2740, 4:15
305, 245, 125, 675, 3415, 5:50
305, 245, 125, 675, 4090, 6:55
295, 225, 125, 645, 4735, 8:30
295, 225, 125, 645, 5380, 9:20
295, 225, 125, 645, 6025, 10:18
295, 225, 125, 645, 6670, 11:36
295, 225, 125, 645, 7315, 13:12
295, 225, 125, 645, 7960, 14:39
295, 225, 125, 645, 8605, 15:55
225, 225, 125, 575, 9180, 17:27
225, 225, 125, 575, 9755, 18:18
225, 225, 125, 575, 10,330, 19:02

back started to get tight on deadlifts so I figured out how much I needed the last 3 rounds and cut way back.  All deadlifts done with overhand grip.  squats felt good, focused on depth.  Probably could've gone heavier on push press, but I didn't want to be tempted to get any legs into the lift.

I wonder if I would've gamed it and gone lighter weight and kept moving if I could've gone faster...maybe 225 deadlift, 175 squat, 105 push press would've taken 20 rounds, with no weight changing and less rest needed.

Good heavy WOD!

Family WOD

Isabelle gave us the 3..2..1..Go! and we all took off from our driveway, scaled versions of course!

I did:
800m run
30 130# clean and jerk
800m

Time:  15:43

first 800m in 3:33.  I missed count of my c&j 3 times, so depending of if I was off, I either did 30, 31, or 32 reps.  Started second 800 at about 11:38.

OHS

total weight after 8 sets or 20 reps, whichever comes first:

3 x 115
3 x 125
3 x 135
2 x 145
1 x 155
2 x 165
1 x 175
0 x 135

Previous PR was 165, so I'm pretty happy with this.  Lost balance (arms gave out) at bottom of last set.

Cashed out with strict pull ups with 20# vest on:
7, 1 (+25# db), 4, 4 (chin ups)

Intervals

4 rounds of 30 on 20 off (reps in parenthesis):

bar dips (12,12,10,11) 45
125# GTO (5,5,5,5) 20
20" box jumps (13,15,17,16) 61
HSPU (8,6,5,4) 23
sit ups (15,16,15,14) 60

we went from exercise to exercise, not 4x bar dips, then 4x GTO...

bar dips were toes to ground on bar at Depot.  I couldn't quite get the 6th rep on GTO, got closer each round (had it racked in 4th round when timer went off).  Box jumps mental...once i got into a rhythm of bouncing at the bottom I went quicker, but it took a lot out of me, so if I stopped, I had to take a quick break.  HSPU...what can I say...when you're done, you're done.  I'm just not quick enough on sit ups to do much more that15.

CF Football

20-15-10-5:
45# db thrusters
burpee pull ups

this WOD sucked!

Time: 16:17

round times: 5:11, 10:32, 14:50, 16:17

with Jared @ depot 530am

Monday, June 20, 2011

3 rounds for time:

50 double unders
25 2 for 1 wall ball (squat while the ball is in the air)

11:01 (round times 3:33, 3:45, 3:43)

95 degrees over lunch...sun baking...HOT in the driveway.

hard to get a rhythm on the wall ball. much easier to catch on the way down, but the squats have to be fast.  Last round was broken into sets of 5-6 focusing on speed of squats.

Relay for Life WOD

WOD 1: Death by Burpees

do one burpee the first minute, two burpees the second minute...continue until you can't complete the number of burpees needed in the minute

I got 14 rounds plus 13 burpees in minute 15.  118 burpees in 15 minutes

WOD 2:  Fight Gone Bad - One Round
Box Jump 31
High Pull 28
Wall Ball 15
Rowing 12
Push Press 16
Total 102

I was sucking wind pretty bad by the time I got to wall ball and it took a while to get into any type of rhythm.  Just tried to survive rowing, knowing I would get too many points relative to the other exercises.  Hoped to get a lot more reps on push press, but had very little left in the tank.   Did push presses again when next group went and got 28!  One round was challenging.

difficult WOD!

CF Football

main site rest day so I did a Football WOD from last week:
4 rounds of one minute AMRAP of each (reps in parenthesis):
150# push press (7,6,6,2 failed on 2 attempts)
24" box jump (17,15,16,17)
150# clean pull (5,7,7,8)
10m bear crawl (4,4,3,2)
rest

I thought about dropping to 135# for push press and clean pulls, but decided to make this as much of a strength WOD as anything.  Bear crawls had a suck factor of 10!

Fran(ish)

wore 20# vest and did 15-12-9:

105# thrusters

time 6:21

Monday, June 13, 2011

For time

21-15-9
225# deadlift
50 squats (50 each round)
135# push press

mis-added plates on first 2 rounds of deadlift, so I added extra weight for last set..deadlift weights were 21-205, 15-205, 9-245

Otherwise, Rx at 17:21

round times were 5:50, 6:15, 5:16

took a little time to add remove weight, but rest was well needed.  Push press were hardest part!

Fight Gone Bad - Championship

Five round championship fight gone bad!

20" box jump  21,22,20,18,18
70# kb high pull 20,15,15,15,14
20# 10' wall ball 14,13,12,11,12
row calories 10,10,9,8,8
75# push press 24,19,15,17,19

total score 379 (click here for all Fight Gone Bad scores)

5AM start at the Depot.  I tried to start with a pace I could keep up for five rounds but didn't keep up as well as I hoped.  Box jumps were all jumps..no step ups.  Transition from wall ball to row took 20 seconds, allowing only 40 for the actual row.  I think the 3 rounds is probably more intense that the 5, although this was pretty grueling!

2-man Team WOD

alternating with Jared:
10..1 burpees
5..1 tire flip (jump in and out of tire)

Jared did 10 burpees, I did 10, he did 9, I did 9...1.
He did 5 tire flips, I did 5, he did 4, I did 4..1.

WOD time=9:01
burpees 4:38
flips 4:23

I think this turned out to be a good WOD.  short and intense.  With the short rest periods, we were able to keep moving, but it really started to catch up to us towards the end of each exercise.

cashed out with 10 minutes of handstand work, including walking side to side and trying to get hands as close to the wall as we could.  We'd alternate being up on the wall and resting.

Pull ups and Burpees

for time:
50 pull ups 3:12
10 burpees 4:02
40 pull ups 7:54
20 burpees 9:39
30 pull ups 12:28

40 burpees 22:41
10 pull ups 23:20

burpees, especially the rounds of 40 & 50, really sucked.  I did alternating grips throughout the pull ups, most traditional, but did quite a few mixed grip and chin grip.

Nice WOD!
