[QUOTE=Greg Light;653160]Nice. I've never done FGB. Maybe this weekend if I can get my wife to count reps and watch the timer. What was your old PR?[/QUOTE]

Just under 300...297 I think. For some reason I can't find it on my darn log, but I think I made up most of my reps on the rower. Not sure how! Have fun!!

Three rounds for time of:
21 L-Pull-ups
15 ft. L-rope climb, 3 ascents

25:21 NOT rx'd...only my 2nd scaled workout since April. No big deal. I get it.

I did roughly 12 - 15 foot climb (need a little marker for 15 feet, or a flag or something) I also used my legs. Didn't do it the 'military' way that vinny showed me. Just whatever I could do.

L-pull-ups are hard with rope climb in between was only doing doubles or singles pretty much after the 1st round.

Excellent FGB!
Your WB is way better than mine. My last round is rarely over 15 reps on WB. Great job on the row too - 44 calories in 3 minutes is solid, especially for us "lightweights" and the inevitable BS that occurs in transition time.

[B]08/29/09[/B]

Sort of a scheduled rest day...but I woke up feeling good and knew I'd be boozin' a bit today and would probably eat too much so I went to the box for some o-lifting...Which turned into a '2 a day' because I liked the WOD Matt came up with...

It happens...

3 - 115 (Did 2, missed one)
1 - 125 (Power)

Trying to strengthen my grip a bit. I also took a different approach today. Resetting for every rep. I used to bounce off the floor but I'm trying to get away from that.

Note...I probably took too long in between reps on the last set.

10 Days til regionals!![/QUOTE]

Okay...so when I last did TSE I was worried about not geting a PR. I did. And it looks like I also miscounted. looks like 376 instead of 366.

Here's today's results

4 rounds for time

800M run Rest as needed in between. I rested for roughly 5 mins between runs.

1. 3:34 - Accidentally went way too far...brain fart.
2. 3:11
3. 3:15 - Strong headwind on the way back..
4. 3:23 - Another headwind on the return.

Not sure what my mile time would be...or if I went 100% for 1 shot with the 800m...I would guess sub 3?? Not sure.

This was my last workout before the regionals wish me luck.[/QUOTE]

[B]09/02/09[/B]

Man I hate running...hurt my left calf a bit again running pose here. I think my left leg is shorter than my right or something.

Ran the first 1.5 rounds using pose, or the best pose I can manage. I finished it out running as I normally used to run...ugly.

4 rounds 800 meter run (rest as needed) I rested 5 minutes again.

1. 3:00
2. 11:10 (3:10)
3. 19:28 (3:18)
4. 27:49 (3:21)

3rd round was the only round that didn't see improvement. And I think I can go faster without posing anyway - need to get that form down.

[B]09/12/09[/B]

Was planning on working out today (5th day in a row). Did the MCCF warmup then some light squat clean practice. I liked the WOD at the box but so many people showed up that I helped run it. I also figured that it would be a good idea to take active rest today and full rest tomorrow because Jim's first class is Monday at 6 am and he has something crazy planned. No big deal. I had a good week. And it's not like I'm skipping a day...

10 - 95
5 - 135

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]09/14/09[/B]

Jim's first official class at the box...I went for support.

He picked some crazy CFFB WOD...

It was in honor of a former football player/soldier that was killed in the line of duty - I'll get his name later (shame on me, I know)

The WOD was...

Every minute on the minute
5 Burpees
Max thrusters

As many rounds as needed to complete 100 thrusters. I thought i would start out with 135# (rx'd) and move down as needed to get at least 5 thrusters per round.

First 4 rounds - 20 thrusters @ 132
Next 3 rounds - 13 thrusters @ 112

Remaining thrusters @ 92

Finished at 21:47

Tough one...took place of 'Karen'. I'll either do it tomorrow or Thursday...at the end of the cycle. We'll see how I feel tomorrow after all the thrusters.

Did 'Karen' today. Looking back on my log I thought I had done it more recently but it hasn't been since January 21st.

Last time 11:56.

Today 7:56 for a PR - but only the 2nd time I've done it. Used a little breyers last night to get me through today. 4th day in a row and was still a bit sore from the lunges the other day and the thrusters on Monday. Definitely looking forward to a rest day tomorrow.

'Mary'

5 HSPU
10 Pistols
15 Pull-ups

7 Rounds. RX'd. My first time doing this without any assist on the pistols. Some of them were ugly and on a few I didn't get back. My thought was that doing them in a WOD would be the best way to get better at them.[/QUOTE]

Did 'Mary' again today...expected better because I thoought the pistols would be easier. They were very hard. I was a bit sore from karen so it was hard to get my legs out in front. They looked ugly and didn't feel good. Some of them I even brought my other leg under right at the last second to help me get all the way up.

Anyway - back to practicing pistols again.

8 rounds + 3 pull-ups for a PR.

Last time I did this was right after the Muddy Buddy - ended up with 9 rounds and the thrusters then...Almost another full round.

"Nate"

Complete as many rounds in twenty minutes as you can of:
2 Muscle-ups
4 Handstand Push-ups
8 2-Pood Kettlebell swings

14 rounds + 1 MU - PR by 2+ rounds

Oh...and just thought of this. You can't really 'cheat' or do a lazy muscle-up. At least I can't. Sure you can short yourself on range of motion (I don't) but you can't cheat through the transition. You have to be aggressive every time, strong kip/head through - you can't 'go through the motions and do them slow like burpees.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]09/23/09[/B]

Had a rough morning this morning. I accidentally turned my alarm off instead of hitting snooze. I have no idea why. First time I was late running the 6 am since I started in January...so I guess it's not too bad. Luckily Jim was there to get everyone started.

Overhead squat

7 - 95
5 - 115
3 - 145
3 - 155
3 - 165
3 - 175 - I actually did 1 with poor depth, then 3 with good depth.
3 - 185 PR

Didn't expect to PR with how I felt so I'll take it. I actully don't think I've done 3 rep OHS before. My 5 rep max was 175 - then I did 185x3 (missing on the 4th rep).

Good day that didn't start off that way...

Started out with squat cleans. That was how I got my 195 PR so I figured I would stick with it. I reverted to power cleans somewhere around 185.

Four rounds for time of

24 inch Box Jump, 30 reps
30 pound Weighted pull-ups, 20 reps

Rx'd. Did kipping pullups with a weighted vest. 24:00.

PR by almost 5 minutes...but the last time I did this it was my first full workout after the regionals...so I was still recovering.

I also might have had a better time had I not had to switch around the vest. I went from the vest with the weight loaded mostly in the front (which hurt that bone in between my pecs) then went to a weighted belt with a 25# KB and a 5# plate. that was too awkward. I then moved the weight from the front to the back of the vest. That ended up being okay.
