Stephan---great "Angie" time.

John---there is a thread around here on callus care. It's saved me a few tears. It also alludes to building a tape cover for while you heal.

Diane----so if there is Paleo sweets out there let me know!

Linda--that was a great scale and time for this workout.

I did the 0900927 today: AMRAP in 20 minutes: 95#Thrusters, 5 reps; 95# HPCl, 7 reps; and 95# SDLHP 10 reps. I scaled the weight to 65 lbs. Got in 10 rounds + 5 thrusters.

This work out blew me away last time and I kept scaling the weight during the work out so I could keep moving. I labelled this workout my "Layla". That day I got in 6 rounds and stopped at 14 minutes--just exhausted.

I may stick to this weight or increase it only slightly next time. I'd like to hold my form for the exercises better next time.

Today - 09/29/09
11AM workout in the gym with Bill

[B][SIZE="3"]Whoo Hooooo! HAD A BLAST TODAY![/SIZE][/B]

WU:
Stretching
Run to the gym
Row 500
Dumbbell swings
Sit-ups

Deadlifting:
5 X 95
4 X 135
3 X 150

Moved the bar into the rack to get a feel for lifting heavier weight without going all the way from the floor. The bar was just below my kneecap:

3 X 150
2 X 170
1 X 190
1 X 200!!!

Whoo-freaking-hoo!! I was so excited I sprinted up the hill to home and paced around the house for about 10 minutes before I could settle down to type this. If there is such a thing as a "deadlifters high", I am on one!

Holy smokes, we did The Bear this morning, and it was fun! First time for everyone in the class. I did four rounds with 35# and the final round with 45#. Need to work on that push-press a bit more. The rest was gravy. Well, kind of lumpy gravy. :D

Had a health screening at work this morning, and I am healthy!

5k times was 28:56

WUx3
5-5-5 pass throughs
5-5-5 pushups
5-5-5 dips

60-60-60 single unders
5-5-5 OHS w/ #45 bar

WOD: AMRAP 20 min
5xThrusters
7xHang Power Cleans
10xSumo DL High Pull

Did the first round @ #75, then scaled to #65 and managed 8 rounds + 5 thrusters and 7 hang power cleans. In retrospect I probably should have put this one off. I taped my hands up pretty good but yesterdays rips came back to haunt me. Oh, well. If your're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.

[B]Pat[/B], great numbers on this one. I was chasing you the whole way. And yeah, I first experienced callus rips last year and spent the better part of a day researching the threads and web. Needless to say I don't go anywhere without some sandpaper, super glue, athletic tape and antibiotic ointment. Sounds like a garage project checklist, huh, [B]Charlie[/B]?
