[I][B]Shoulder Dislocates, Arm Circles[/B][/I]
[I][B]Pull-ups: 50 kipped[/B]; both OH and UH grip in sets of 4 & 5. About 7:00.[/I]
[I][B]Shoulder Presses: 45# X 10[/B][/I]
[I][B]Dips (testing R/shoulder): 5 X 4 sets [/B](most were jumping).[/I]


[I][B]WOD:[/B][/I]
[I][B]95# power clean X 15 reps
[/B][/I][B][I]30 push-ups [/I][/B][I](sub for dips due to messed up shoulder)[/I]
[B][I]95# power clean X 12 reps. [/I][/B][I]Did 6. Felt good and went up easily on some lifts, so tried [B]115# (Fail X 5), got [COLOR=Red]2[/COLOR][/B][/I][COLOR=Red][I][B] (PR)[/B][/I][/COLOR][COLOR=Black], [I]couldn't get any more[/I][/COLOR][I], so dropped back to [B]95# X 4 = 12 reps[/B][/I]
[I][B]24 push-ups [/B](unbroken. First time I've gotten more than 20 in a row during a WOD!!!)[/I]

[I][B]95# power clean X 3 reps[/B][/I]
[I][B]6 push-ups[/B][/I]


[I][B]WO not timed.[/B] I wanted to concentrate on form and was still pretty fried from yesterdays' WO. This WO was hit and miss - - felt like my leg strength was not explosive enough to properly power the lift from the floor and generate the inertia for the clean. Also, hip engagement was weak.[/I]


[I][B]New Year's Challenge: Day 13 X 2 burpups = 26. (Not timed).[/B]
[/I]
[I]All in all, felt this was a good workout. Problems with the cleans are probably in my head.....will continue to work on form and develop strength with weighted squat jumps.

Steve, I can't believe you did the shoveling! After all the snow you've dealt with this year?

[QUOTE=Stephen R. Lampl;488428]I sure have thought about training. I was certified [I][B]y e a r s [/B][/I]ago through the Cooper Institute (Dallas Aerobics) when my LE Department was working with an organized fitness program. I was what we called an "Area Fitness Coordinator" where I basically helped oversee our annual testing protocols and helped our employees with "fitness prescriptions." The program was sun-setted due to employee injuries. I may train again after I attend a Level I Cert.[/QUOTE]

Being a trainer is an awesome thing! It is so great to be able to help people! FYI...I would make sure you get a cert that covers some of the clinical aspects of training such as ACE, ACSM, NESTA, etc... in addition to the crossfit cert. You never know what issues clients may have that you need to deal with. With that said....definately do it! You have great motivational powers and the best attitude! You'd make an awesome trainer!

[QUOTE=Stephen R. Lampl;488449]What I did: "The MacGuiver WOD" (Held together with bubble gum and duct tape) [/B]Scaled to 15# for weighted pull-ups. 1). Round 1 completed 3 weighted, 5 strict, 7 kipping pull-ups.

...

New Year's Challenge: Burp-ups - Day 8 X 2 = 16

Could you imagine what you would have thought if someone told you a year ago that you'd be doing weighted pull-ups and Burp-ups? OMG!
