"Barbara"
Five rounds, each for time of:
20 Pull-ups
30 Push-ups
40 Sit-ups
50 Squats
Rest precisely three minutes between each round.
Post time for each of five rounds to comments.
I finished this one in a total time of 23:15 which is 2:30 minutes slower than the last time. That's OK I had a med ball last time to bounce my butt off of. Now its all drop and stop below parallel. Barbara is my least favorite body weight WOD. What a smoker!!
That was yesterday's WOD, today I just did Turkish get ups. I started with a barbell and that began to fail do to grip, I had 85lbs on the bar, and my grip was oily or sweaty and the bar began to slide out of position. So I switched to a dumbbell. I maxed out at a 90lb D-bell. It felt so good to put that weight overhead. and come back down without squishing my pumpkin. Just 10lbs shy of my goal, soon......

CFT CrossFit Total.
"CrossFit Total"
Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep
This WOD is one of my nemesis, every time I go into this WOD I have something that is an issue, usually my lower back or shoulder. Today, I felt ok, I just was not warmed up enough and was short on time due to the hours of the gym.
My back squat felt good but I failed at a lower than expected weight. I attempted 265 (failed) and finished at 255. Shoulder press- after the WOD at CFNA the other day the HSPU's and L-Pull ups we did snatch's and my shoulders have felt great since then. So today I got a PR at 130lb. which is light for most CF males, but it is an improvement for me because of this ongoing shoulder issue I have. Answer= DO MORE SNATCHES! I like that solution.
I then moved onto the Deadlift which used to be my best lift, until I hurt it competing in that stupid '300' WOD. Now my original PR was 365. today I could only get 315 off the ground. I attempted 335 and 325 in that order and failed at both lifts. So I am sticking with the 315 and came up with a total of a measly 695 which is 50 pounds under my PR of 745. I have a goal of adding 100 pounds to my total, I am referring to my PR. So I would like to hit 845 by next year 2010.
