Milt's WoD Log

WoD from the main page for Jan. 12 - which was my rest day.

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
Row 250 meters
25 Push-ups

4 rounds + 250m + 4 push-ups (Rx'd)

Just about every thing inside me wanted to go to knee push-ups after round 2, but stuck with it....this was definitely harder than it looked on paper!

Wod for Jan 14, 2010

Dedicated to my son Isaac on his 3rd birthday!

From crossfitai.com

5 Rounds
7 Clean & Jerk 135/95#
10 Push-ups w/ de-load at the bottom

32:01 Rx'd

I may have benefitted from some scaling on the weights, but wanted this one Rx'd! I did rest a lot after some of the C&J reps - I am not strong or skilled enough to get these in rapid fire....also, wanted to keep good form on them. If I tried going faster, I would have failed on more than two reps (which I cant dump because I work out in a globo), at least been kicked out of the gym for dropping weight, or, at worst had to be rushed to the hospital with rhabdo or a broken collar bone......

So, all in all, happy with the work today! The progression is: "do it right", then "do it fast"!

I may have to drop out of Ted's tabata challenge - as I have little time and energy left after going for WoDs Rx'd to do them.....I may see if I cant hit the last two for week two on the weekend.

do what you have to do to keep your self healthy and keep progressing. i've dropped out of challenges before for different reasons.

an option over the weekend is to keep the tabata movements simple: vertical jump, squats, sit ups, etc... tabata presses are really, really tough.

I found that out the hard way earlier this week!!!! Do not regret that though, it was a great workout!

I think on the weekend I will do tabata sit-ups, step ups, HSPU's or muscle-ups. Something simple I can do at home....















Wait......muscle-ups!!!????

Thanks Jason! I do play hockey quite a bit - I am not a team or in a league, I just play on the community rinks - but its been too cold for the ice to be any good lately!

Like you, I am also a rugby fan, and looking to play this year (we do our rugby in the spring opposed to your season, which is a fall one isnt it?)

Holy cow dude, 1250 meters + 104 pushups in 15 minutes... You're putting in some great work here, Milton.

I thought that I would be good for at least 6 rounds on that one, but the push-ups were tougher than I thought they would be.

Thanks Michael, for the perspective though! I had not thought of it in total distance or PU reps.
