[quote=Michelle Simpson;915323][B]William HAPPY BIRTHDAY & CONGRATS on entering sectionals!![/B]

Shhhh...I did the same thing just for the fun of it and to get my butt out of scaling and my comfort zone. I don't care if I'm dead last, I had the courage to go ahead and commit.[/quote]

Yay!! That's my goal also! I figure pushing yourself will get results!! The 1st WOD is a killer but I had a blast doing it with all the youngsters!!;) I'm still in shock that I was able to do DU's at all!

[quote=Jim Cordes;915542]3/12 Elite Goal day

My Elite Goal was 2x bodyweight deadlift. I weighed 160# so I was going for 320#. Unfortunately did not get there but got closer than ever before. I tied my PR of 305#, and I was able to get 320# an inch or two off the ground.

3/17 WOD

Box Squat 5-5-5-5-5

135-185-185-205f-195
This was the first time I did these, so I was satisfied. Shared a bar with Baker. This was first time in over year we worked together, it was fun.

Followed by: 3 Rounds For Time
5 Handstand Push Ups
20 Box jumps
40 double unders

7:58 @ 1 pad and 24" box. Didn't get completely down to pad on each HSPU, but I think I got lower than I would have with two pads. Believe it or not, the double-unders started clicking for me. I didn't count consecutive reps, only total reps, but I'm pretty sure I got over 20 in a row a couple of times. Is this a breakthrough? Sure hope so.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Way to go everyone, some great numbers posted!

My day started out like this:
03.18.11

0700 Chiropractor!--couple of cracks and off to the Box to try and do at least (1)one double under!!!--
Coach Kurt--said I wasn't leaving till I did the OPEN WOD like everyone else even if I could only get one point on the board!!!!--he showed me that there was one other guy in the NW region had the balls to post his (1) double under score!!!
GAME ON!!--
So after 20 minutes of practice tripping over the @#%%king rope I started to get it, 1,2,3,trip,1,2,3,4 !!;););)--so I said what the H@ll and started the clock!
Did: [B]1Rnd, +29[/B]--and I plan on going back in tomorrow to see if I can improve it to at least get on more round!! Darn I like this stuff!!! :thanx:
11:30am--Physical Therapist appointment-(those snatches weren't good on the shoulder)
NO MORE SCALING DU'S with tuck jumps!!--
See ya on the Board friends!! Have a great Weekend

[B]3.19.11 Saturday - [U]recovery[/U][/B]
Still supposed to be taking it easy whatever I do till Monday.

Warmup w/Doubleunders,
barwork/snatch practice, just working on form....

Irritated that Ive been practicing these for 6 weeks and still not great at it.
And [I]just[/I] been told by my housemate, that it must be tough for me to hear, but 'you can't be good at everything.' Wow. Gotta take that one from where it comes, a person who HATES weightlifting or exercise of any kind at all!

So now let's see where I am so far:
[B][I]Snatch[/I][/B] Feb 1 15kg - Mar 19 40kg
[B][I]Snatch from Blocks[/I][/B] Feb 1 15kg - Mar 19 42kg
[B][I]Clean[/I][/B] Feb 1 38kg - Mar 19 42kg
[B][I]Clean & Jerk[/I][/B] Feb 1 47kg – Mar 19 52kg
[B][I]Snatch Press[/I] [/B]Feb1 15kg - Mar 19 42kg
[B][I]OHS[/I] [/B]Feb 1 34kg - Mar 19 42kg

Ill just have to see. Foam rolling & trigger point with the balls in a bit.

Great gains Deb Good luck everyone in the open

3/18 work on jumping rope
WOD 5 rounds run 200m apx
5 burpees
10 pullup

3/19 at home WOD 1 from the open one round 20 DU still ugly but I will take it and and hope we move on away from Double unders ( ha)

I am happy we are all here to share our work and thoughts, Thanks to everyone
