[B]11/20/10[/B]

Did the 'Battle of the Boxes' on Saturday. Team competition. It was me and 5 GIRLS!!! All of the dudes at the box are apparently chicken **** :-)

Anyway it was 3 WODs that involved OHS @ 95, Pull-ups, Deadlifts @ 225, HSPU an power snatch @ 115.

I did a bunch of those...fun time - didn't really care to time myself or keep track of reps. the only thing I do remember is that I did 37 straight overhead squats.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]12/06/10[/B]

The box was doing 'Cindy' or 'Mary', and I had a 6:30 cancellation so I found the opportunity to WOD with the group! Woohoo!

Did 'Cindy' Way off my PR but the 1st time I've done them with 'real chest to deck' push-ups.

For those of you that think you're doing C2D push-ups. You're probably not.

16 + 1 Pull-up. Blaahh...

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]12/07/10[/B]

Did some easy clean and jerks yesterday. I'm going to try to up my volume a bit to see if that fixes my constant soreness. Seems like I don't bounce back the same anymore.

Any way

Squat clean and jerk

3 - 135
1 - 155
1 - 175

Helen

9:11 Rx'd.

Nice job to [URL="http://www.nicolewilkinslee.com/"]Nicole Wilkins Lee[/URL] who crushed Helen in 9:08 for her 1st CF WOD.

That WOD looks TERRIBLE!
I can tell by how simple it is -- just a bit of pushing and pulling, eh?
Nice work. I think I'd visit pukie.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]12/10/10[/B]

Rough day today. I planned on about 35 mins to finish this WOD - assuming it would take me way less time as I had a meeting scheduled.

3 Rounds for time
10 muscle ups
10 forward rolls
20 one legged squats, alternating
20 yard handstand walk

28:30 - 2 rounds only. Muscle ups gave me lots of trouble and took way too long. Not sure if it's bodyweight related or a bad day. handstand walks were easiest. forward rolls were different but okay. Pistols sucked as always.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]12/14/10[/B]

Overhead squat
I kind of messed up the plates and I think I did one of these twice but it was something like

1 - 135
1 - 155
1 - 175
1 - 195
1 - 195
1 - 205
1 - 215 (missed jerk)
1 - 215. Not sure if it's a PR or not...need to check.

Then I did Vinny's little go to WOD of death by 10 meters...I'm scheduled to do a sprint WOD but the weather won't allow for that right now.

16 rounds + 14.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]12/15/10[/B]

3 rounds
15 DB thrusters, 50# DB's
30 GHD sit ups

11:05 Rx'd

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]12/17/10[/B]

Today was a 'just get the damn thing done already!' WOD. Snow and ice all down the street, rope climbs were a nightmare and doing 'real' push-ups suck.

'RJ'
5 Rounds for time:
Run 800m
5 Rope climbs, 15 feet. (Our rope is 18 so I did 5 climbs the first round and 4 the next 4 rounds)
50 Push-ups - Chest to deck. Slightly hollow.

81:20 - Rx'd. I think this was the longest CF WOD I've ever done. Rope climbs are a killer but I'm over 180 right now so that's what I get I guess. :)

26:57 Rx'd

I can't believe those times posted on the site...nice little reminder of how bad those guys really are.[/QUOTE]

Did this one again

23:10 Rx'd PR Double unders are getting better. Jumped on and off the box for all BJ's too.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

12/22/10

Did a scaled version of that crazy pull-up WOD

3 Weighted, 45#'s
5 Dead hang
7 Kippiing

10 rounds staying on the bar. I did this which I had done before.

I did...
10 rounds...
2 Weighted, 25#'s
3 Strict
7 Kipping.

I made it through the first 7 rounds with the 25# DB which was kind of a PR, I only made it through 5 last time. I know I missed a few of the strict pull-ups in the latter rounds but didn't want to come off the bar. Also, I wiggle my way up when I get fatigued...I need to stop this. I know. Anyway my time was...

33 something. Last time was 29 but I wasn't really going for time towards the end my form was just getting too bad. Switched to a 15# db for the last 3 rounds.

Also tried chin grip for one round and switched to pull-up grip for kippin. That was dumb...made it harder.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]12/23/10[/B]

Tail between my legs day...

Attempted the following workout

5 Rounds for time
5 Deadlift
5 Ring HSPU

I picked 295 for the deadlift because I hadn't ever done over 275 in a metcon. I also went sumo just because I'm mor comfortable with that. Also, for some reason I'm having trouble getting upside down on the rings - anyway. That wasn't a big deal. The problem was my right shoulder (the back of it) hurts when doing that movement - along with butterfly kip. It hurts a little bit, but the scary part is that if feels like something is going to snap. That being said, I probably used too heavy of a weight on the deadlifts and I didn't want to blow my shoulder out so I only finished 3 rounds.

3 rounds @ 295
11:07.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

12/26/10

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]12/31/10[/B]

Just ran because it was 50 degrees out. I'm still a bit under the weather though. Didn't run for time or distance - just ran to run. Went to Art Van's house and back.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]01/02/11[/B]

Did a going away workout for Terry - it was a partner WOD. Some running, wallballs, wheelbarrows, partner thrusters. Fun! Not ultra intense but it was something.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]01/17/11[/B]

Wow! So after like a full week off (sick) I just did the MCCF warmup and dynamic warmup today.

[B]01/18/11[/B]

Took a roadie out to [URL="http://crossfit810.typepad.com/810crossfit/"]CrossFit 810[/URL] to visit Joe DeGain's (HQ Trainer) place.

Did 'Mary'

Not sure what I got - no PR for sure, I think it was about 8 rounds. Almost 9 I think.

I feel better though and have a competition this Sunday. Should be interesting.
