Wednesday's....

Complete as many rounds as you can in thirty minutes of:
Five pull-ups
Five ring dips
15 Sit-ups

I completed 22 rounds plus 5 pull ups and almost locked out the 5th ring dip. I believe I could have cranke out more rounds because at the end I was not completely gassed. This one is hard to pace yourself, 30 minutes is quite a long time for a body weight METCON. Anyhow, not a bad WOD.

Crushed.....

"CrossFit Total"

Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep

I was really looking forward to doing this one. I had some good motivation with me, I was doing it with 3 studs new to CrossFit. They all had some impressive lifts for being new to this style of lifting. I was happy with my Back squat, but only hit 265, which I believe was a previous PR. But it litterally felt as if it crushed my hip. no pain during the BS, just when I got to the deadlift I could, during the warm up, do 275lb 5x but I could not, maybe from fear, budge 305. Now when I began the pull on the 305, I could feel my right side hip sort of pulsing. I am disappointed that I cannot move the load like I used to. I am going to have to figure something out. any suggestions? I think i will be doing a lot more 1 arm movements, like kettle bell snatches, swings, and OHS (1arm), even a 1 arm dead lift to possibly strengthen that area. anyhow I did not even set a dead lift number last night. Last week I believe I could do 295, so assuming that was done last night that puts my total at 685 which is far below my pr. disappointing.....

Main site WOD

Yesterday ran a little more than 5K. it took me a really long time, 28+ minutes. All day today I have felt like I have been run over by a truck. Just my body has been beat feeling. So I was looking forard to doing todays WOD. I always feel good after doing body weight WOD's.


Complete as many rounds as you can in twenty minutes of:
5 Handstand Push-ups
10 L Pull-ups
15 Steps, Walking Lunge

Completed 7 rounds plus 5 more handstand push ups. Feel great right now. Just finished a gigantic bowl of spinach, onions, red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, croutons, 4 oz of tuna, and 1 whole fried hard egg. with honey mustard dressing. mmmmmmm...... one of my favorite meals. I normally put avocado on it, but there were not any 'ripe' ones worth the $2 each price.
