Friday WOD.

"Tabata Something Else"

Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where the first 8 intervals are pull-ups, the second 8 are push-ups, the third 8 intervals are sit-ups, and finally, the last 8 intervals are squats. There is no rest between exercises.

What a perfect way to end the week. I am usually tired on Fridays from bartending the night before so anything body weight is perfect.

Here are my totals:
Pull ups: 96
Push ups: 76
Sit ups: 99
Squats: 120
total- 391

My pr in this one is 396, but that is using a med ball for squats and ultimately cheating by bouncing off the med ball in the bottom of the squat. Now I do TRUE body weight squats.

Thursday Elizabeth

"Elizabeth"

21-15-9 reps of:
Clean 135 pounds
Ring dips

12:43rx. Ring dips were pretty difficult this time around seeing as how I just did them 48 hours prior. The cleans felt great, and I did not set a PR but I beat my last time by 2 minutes. Overall I am happy.

Snatch

I played with the Snatch on Wednesday, and had a PR of 140lb. I will try again in about 2 weeks. I want to break the 150 and start working on body weight of 185.

29 April 2009

Five rounds for time of:
95 pound Sumo-deadlift high-pull, 21 reps
21 Ring dips

19:25 to complete. The SDLHP's felt awesome, I felt really strong in these. I did the ring dips for the first three rounds on 2" rope loops. These were significantly difficult. I could do 3 normal ring dips to one rope ring dip. I did first 3 rounds on ropes and last 2 on regular rings. I am curious to what my time would have been if I used regular rings.... ugh....

Monday WOD

Three rounds, 21-15- and 9 reps, for time of:
95 pound Squat snatch
Chest to bar Pull-ups

21:15rx, I really went slow on this one. I only missed one, and all the others but 1 was pretty good. I am actually really happy with my form. The Chest to bar pull ups, were a surprise. I was wondering 'why am I so weak at these' and then it hit me I have never done them in a WOD. I really like the power output needed to do these pull ups.
