Ok, it's Monday and I am back in the game this week!  Or at least for today....

Strength: Push Press 3 RM

I was able to get up to 105#.  I think I could have gone higher but we ran out of time.

WOD: "Crushing Helen"

 8 rounds for time;

-100 meter sprint
-8 KB Swings (62 Lb!!!)
-5 plyo push-ups

15:?? I wrote it on the whiteboard but forgot to record it on the computer.  I'll have to check it tomorrow.

All of the 53# KB  were being used, so I decided to try the 62# one.  It wasn't too bad, but I will definitely be feeling this workout tomorrow!

I'm beginning to sound like a broken record...rest day! (Wait...does anyone even know what that phrase means?  I think I just dated myself!)

Saturday, 04.14.12

Can you believe it...another rest day?? I was at my son's soccer game for half the day and fully intended to go for a run when I got home but the time I got there, I had no energy to even think about it.

Another rest day.

Thursday, 04.12.12

Today I made up Tuesday's workout that I missed.

Warm-up:
500m Row 1:57
2 rounds:
5 squats
5 hand release push ups
5 pull-ups
10 double unders
5 good mornings
5 straight-leg deadlifts

Deadlift:
70% x3 (165#), 80%x3 (185#), 90% max reps = 210#x3

"Diane"
Reps of 21-15-9:
Deadlift (155#)
Handstand Push-ups
14:55 w/ample use of abmats!

The deadlifts felt heavy, but doable.  I was able to string the first 15 together, the second set I broke down into 5's and the last set I had to rest after 8.

The HSPUs were a nightmare. I tried to start out with just one abmat and was able to do 4 kipping, and then added another mat and struggled through to #17, and then was so frustrated that I added a 3rd mat for the remaining 4.  Second set I went back to 2 abmats and eventually got 15.  It was very frustrating because it was all about muscle failure.  I had to wait a good 20-30 seconds between attempts and even then several of my kipping attempts failed.  The last set it took me almost 5 minutes just to do 9. So I'm adding HSPUs to my ever growing herd of goats.

It's that time again...time to Total!

The CrossFit Total

Perform a 1RM in each of the following lifts

-Back Squat
-Shoulder Press
-Deadlift

Back Squat: 215 PR

Shoulder Press: 82 PR   I improved by only a pound but hey, you have to celebrate the small victories, too.

Deadlift: 230  This was a tie of my previous PR and I am actually really happy about it.  I pulled my back the last time I totaled during the deadlift so since then I have been taking it easy whenever I deadlift.  I haven't even focused on dead lifting at all since the last Total so to tie my previous PR is a good thing!

CrossFit Total: 527 PR!!!
