Re: Nik
 

For time:
70 Burpees
60 Sit-ups
50 Kettlebell swings, 1.5 poods
40 Pull-ups
30 Handstand push-ups

time 30:00
Ok burpees. ALL the way through. No stopping. On that note, I'm not sure if I did 70 or 80. I got confused at 30/40 and wasn't sure so I went with the lower number to do right or more. SO I did no less then 70 in a row. Time on the burpees 6:28.

That is where it all ended. Situps slooow, but all the way through, abmatt.
KB swing I was going to keep to 10reps and 321go, burt got to coughing inbetween sets and it went longer then 321go.

Pullups were sets of 10 small break, last set broke at 7reps.

HSPU's? Took forever, real showstopper. I was tring to keep the breaks down, but I it failure. It was awefull. I ended up on my head more often then not.

We should set up a day where we all go 100 burpees for time as a little extra fun. :stir:

Or maybe 200....ok nm. I think I'm just having those post-workout high..

Re: Nik
 

You all and your Burpees. Great work Nik. I bet that Metcon is very taxing. I'd still be there trying to finish that one. Like those Deads to. Painful, yet my favorite move. Once again great work.

As for Jay and his 100-200 Burpees, I'll have to make that up another day with you all.

Re: Nik

Thank, burpees suck so we have been challenging each other reps to keep it going and get them done faster.

The deads are getting better. I have had a bad back for years, Crossfit is sorting that out for me. I am finally able to buing my deads up. Hope to get in to the 400range. Same for squats and PS need some real help. Then there is the oly work.

Thanks Scott, thinking back I'm sure it was 70reps. Still you are right, it was easier to just keep going instead of stopping, The pain wasn't going away till I was done, there was no reason to stop. My legs were sore but still moving ok, so I just kept at it.


Off to run the 5K.

Re: Nik
 

Run 5K

today 24:35
I'm not sure anymore what my pr is, but I'll take it today.

left ham got tight, but not to a point to hinder the run.

I don't know what happened. It didn't feel bad, besides some lower back pain which is my arthritus, it felt pretty good. I was running hard, and hit my hills hard. I was suprised and discusted with my time. I had run better 5k's with a hangover.[/QUOTE]

HAHA good point, I missed that. Also there are less then 200 post yesterday, %k's never get much respect. Always fewer people doing them.

My legs are shattered today. The snaches should be ''fun'' Snach fran eh?

Re: Nik
 

21-15-9 reps for time of:
95 pound barbell Squat snatch
Chest to bar pull-ups

14:25

I missed probably arround 5or 6 reps.

Last set was the best over all on the snaches.

I had Martin with me. He is great fun but really destracting. He'd roll by on his trike and I'd have to stop to get him to move so I could snach. But he was great fun, he had a bar and was ''snaching'' too. and tring to do pullups too. It was great. My time suffered. But time isn't everything. When I bring him I know time will suffer. Worth every min of it.

Re: Nik
 

That's not many comments on the 5k, and I found at my sectional that loads of the competitors hated running and it showed in the last event, there was only a handful that could run decently.

Great work on todays WOD, I can picture Martin coming around on the trike and giving you a break. I bet it wont be long before he is pushing you on and hitting the WOD at the same weights as you.... Your set of 9 squat snatches was good due to learning better form on the previous two rounds, me and my training partner found exactly the same.

How cute!! I feel the same way about my snatches. The last set was the best where I felt like I had an actual flow. Although the last 2 sucked and I had to do them over. Definitely something I need to work on more often.

Re: Nik
 

That's awesome, Nik. How old is your kid? Sounds like a little firebreather in the making! Nice job on today's WOD! I did the main page workout today too for the first time in months . I almost forgot how hard they are. Much more of a lung burner than the stuff I have been doing lately. Got to get back into it! Keep up the good work!

Well if that is true then that is a plus for me. I'm not fast at running, but I run every chasnce I can. I don't hate it, I'm just not great at it. I need to rub cheetah blood on my legs.

Man that was it, in round 4 I was thinking I'd never make it to round 5. But the 3 min break was time enough to will myself back on the pullup bar.
