No problem...It's definitely good to have a log. We're also not too far from each other. I'm sure our paths will cross someday!

best of luck!

I just confirmed with Matt -
We DID do 5 rounds!!!

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

yeah man, where do you workout at, closest one to me is in ann arbor...and theres no way i would drive that everytime i wanted to lift

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

I'm at [URL="http://motorcitycrossfit.com"]http://motorcitycrossfit.com[/URL] wfs

It's in sterling heights...we have a pretty good group there but It still looks like a bit of a hike for you. I would say though...would probably definitely be worth a trip a few times per month just to check form...maybe some added intensity/competition as well.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

is sterling heights right next to the garden city area or am i thinkin dearborn heights?

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[QUOTE=James Compora;413109]is sterling heights right next to the garden city area or am i thinkin dearborn heights?[/QUOTE]

Yeah...You must be. Sterling Heights is just north of Warren about 30 - 40 mins from you.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

gotcha, cause garden city is where my school is so i was just wondering if it was there

With a continuously running clock do one 135 pound Clean and Jerk the first minute, two 135 pound Clean and Jerks the second minute, three 135 pound Clean and Jerks the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.

Use as many sets each minute as needed.

7 rounds + 5

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

nice job that killer WOD, Jason. I still haven't done that one!
So how are you feeling without the Diet Pepsi. I feel TERRIBLE! I'm still not convinced that it's all THAT bad for me. Just like a junkie....

Thanks! I'm kind of cheating. I officially became a coffee drinker on Tuesday. I've just heard too many bad stories about diet pop...And George Mounce said coffee is ok so I guess it is!! Plus coffee packs a whallop of caffeine and antioxidants and is mostly water anyway so it's almost a health food!

That workout has been a mental issue for me...I went to a cert in VA beach in July and the instructors did that...I came back and about a month later tried it at 95# and it almost killed me...today's was tougher at 135# but I just feel better knowing I did it I guess.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]10/18/08[/B]

Had to think of something to do at globo today so I thought HEY! I haven't done Bear Complex in a while!!!

What an idiot...

7 Reps of
Power Clean
Front Squat
Push Press
Back Squat
Push Press

5 rounds for weight. Only touch and go - no resting the bar on the ground.

65, 85, 105, 115, 125 - miss

Made it 6 reps then on the 6th after the Front Squat I lost it...dropped the barbell and that was it. What a tough workout.

It was also very good to have a few days off...I hadn't realized that I had gone fairly hard 9/10 days. Be careful!!

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

Regarding above post...I failed on the 7th rep...not 6th.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]10/20/08[/B]

For time

150 Squats
50 pullups
100 squats
30 pullups
50 squats
20 pullups

15:52

Found out I have a minor umbilical? Hernia today..Dr. said keep doing what I've been doing and that I've probably had it for a while. She said it's a little one and no biggie...
