Jumping lunges and push press

Eight rounds for max reps of:
75 pound Push press, 20 seconds
Rest 10 seconds
Jumping alternating lunge, 20 seconds
Rest 10 seconds

Sounded easy and from the comments on video, I didn't think it would be bad. But, lunges were pretty darn tough and it carried over to the push press. Best thing about this was alternating b/t the 2 exercises and the fact that it was only 2 exercises instead of 8 for normal tabata protocol, so 8 minutes and done vs. 16 for normal.

My reps were (push press, jumping lunges)
16,18
15,15
14,13
15,11
11,11
13,12
10,12
10,13
totals 104,105

I had 4-5 lunges that I didn't count since my knee didn't touch the ground; I did 95% of the work and got no credit!

Cashed out with some deep squats to help stretch out: 5 @ 135, 5 @ 185 pausing at the bottom, 5 @ 135 exploding as soon as I hit bottom

Crossfit Total

Almost took a day off; felt lousy last night and I think I'm trying to fight off a cold.

Warm up: foam roller, band stretching, GHD sit ups, GHD back extensions, and CFT lifts starting with light weights.

WOD:
Squat: 275, 290F, 285
Press: 145, 135
Deadlift: 365, 390F, 385F
total: 795

score was my second highest ever. I got the 290# squat about halfway and got stuck for 3-4 seconds but it wouldn't budge. Barely got the 145# press and knew I wouldn't get more, so I backed off to 135# just to get another lift in. My last DL warm up was 345# and I debated on whether to go 365 or 385 on my first lift. I felt like I could get the 365 pretty easy, but didn't want to waste energy knowing I'd go for 390+. I decided to get 365 so I'd have a score. My form broke down on the 390 and 385 lift, barely got it off the ground.

Cashed out with some lighter deadlifts as I removed weight from the bar, some foam roller work, and some handstand holds against the wall, focusing on getting my hands as close to the wall as I could

5 ROUNDS

3 160# cleans
20 burpees
My goal when I started was 10 minutes. Halfway through first round I thought 8 was possible. Once I started second round, I knew 8 was impossible and 10 would be pretty hard.Cleans after the first round were pretty hard. Second round was probably the longest.
WOD time was 11:48

Nancy

5 rounds for time, not quite Rx, a little lighter OHS, a little longer run:
500m run
15 90# OHS

Time: 24:34
round times 4:17, 5:15, 4:44, 4:54, 5:24
OHS broken down (by round): 10/5, 10/5, 15, 15, 8/7
500m times (start to finish) 2:35, 2:52, 2:48, 2:54, 2:56

On the 3rd set of OHS, I brought my hands a little closer together which helped me keep my arms more vertical, which in turn, seemed to cause me to use my legs more. Much better lifting form, at least it felt like it.

This wasn't my best time for Nancy, the extra 500m in run had a lot to do with it, but it was probably one of my best OHS, which is a little surprising considering how I felt pre-WOD.

5 rounds:

15 185# deadlift
15 toes to bar

warmed up with stretching, 15 ghd sit ups, 15 back extension, and a 500m row. Time for the row was 1:41.

Hot and humid in the Depot! I didn't bring chalk and this was a horrible WOD for a slippery grip. Like I say about every WOD, this was tougher than I thought. I hoped to break 10 minutes...

Times @ the end of round:

1:37
5:29
9:29
13:08
16:26

I tried to do stricted TTB than I had in the past, none of the huge kips to keep moving. Ended up breaking them down into sets of 3-5 to get to the 15. Deadlifts were a pain with a slippery grip.

GOWS at the track

Warmed up with a few 100m run and burpees, followed by 50 yards of broadjump burpees.

For the WOD, we did two 3 rounds of 2 person tire flips followed by sandbag shoulders. Each round was AMRAP 1 minute. We rotated through my three heavier bags (80 64 50). Total of 6 rounds...or two with each bag.

Cashed out with 10..1 of push ups and sit ups, then played on the paralettes.

5k

Ran using endomondo to track distance. Ran from park down to highsmith and out toward the west. Time was just over 25:00...horrid performace....proof that my lack of running has taken it's toll my my endurance. Not 100%convinced my distance aS right, but it was a good run.

pull ups and HSPU Ladder

With a continuously running clock, do one pull-up and one handstand push-up the first minute, two pull-ups and two handstand push-ups the second minute, three pull-ups and three handstand push-ups the third minute... continuing as long as you are able. When you cannot complete the required number of reps for either exercise, continue only with the other as long as you are able.

I went with chest to bar pull ups and HSPU (no bands) for this WOD.   All rounds done pull ups first followed by HSPU.  I got 7 full rounds plus 4 in round 8 of HSPU.  9 full rounds plus 7 of CTB pull ups.

Total score: 16 (7+9)
Total reps: 52 ctb pull ups, 32 HSPU


Cashed out with 1 round of Gator:  5 185# front squats and 26 ring push ups (feet slightly below parallel to rings) .  Time was 3:05.  Five rounds of this would've been really hard!

Sunday AM vacation

beach run.

I ran 15 minutes down the beach, stopping every minute (gymboss timer) to do 10 push ups.  Ran back without stopping...at least for push ups.  All running done in the soft sand...nothing close to the water.

measured distance using the endomondo app on my phone...it measured 1.44km down and 1.59km back.  I'll settle for 1.5km or 1500m each way. 

WOD time was just over 26 minutes.  3000m run and 150 push ups.

30 20" bench jump
20 110# sumo deadlift high pull
30 burpees
20 135# shoulder to overhead
120' 160# cable machine pulls (I used the rope thingy pulled all the way through the bracket and pulled it like I was pulling a rope sled. I counted each pull if I didn't move my feet at 3' and each complete pull where I got the weights all the way to the top of the machine as 10')

time 19:59

hot again in the depot.  burpees sucked.  Good WOD!

Heavy Mowing

Mowed ditches again wearing 80# (weight vest and backpack).  Wet, nasty ditches make this pretty challenging!

Tired legs at night...don't realize it too much at the time, but once I sat down, the were aching.
