First swim workout in a few months and the absence made its presence known today. The last time I did this WOD, my 100s were in the mid- to high- 1:30s. I'll try to do this 3x/week over the winter. Christmas shopping took precedence over WOD #2 today (the ski leg workout).

Had to cut my lunch-time swim work-out short today since I spent 45 minutes in a traffic jam on the way to the pool. Couldn't fit my ski workout in tonight since our Christmas guests are already arriving. Swam a bit better today since I remembered to keep my head down more. Shoulders felt better too.

I vowed to work on my weaknesses this year and today's workout had a lot of them: DUs, HSPUs, OHS, Muscle-Up building blocks. Ski workout felt ok for the first time through it. Should be able to do more and faster rounds soon.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Got to hit the 'Goats' Jim, think doubles and hspu's are on a lot of peoples lists. What sort of stage are your hspu's at, ladders work well on improving them, you just got to keep them regular.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

I can do 3 legit HSPUs in a row, but in a WOD have to revert to 'toes to the wall' in order to get in the higher reps in a reasonable time. Leaning out a bit would help a lot. I'd like to see if I can get down to 175#, which would solve many of my crossfit goats. Obviously this is a tough time of the year to begin that process though.

Shoulder stretching

For the most part, felt pretty good today. B2B squats were fine initially, but then my first couple of squats were slow ones to stretch my legs out a bit and that's when I went from 15 to 13 per tabata. The last two rounds hurt a bit. I was a bit disappointed I didn't go below 7 minutes on the run, but I need a bit more practice pacing myself on the track (unlike the treadmill where you can just dial in your goal and hang on for the ride). Overall, I feel ok about the effort. My left shoulder was a bit sore doing bench presses, but the results were ok. I've never tried more than 250# before but will try to beat that next week, along with (hopefully) new PRs on deadlifts and shoulder presses.

Ok, time to start celebrating. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Shoveled 4" of snow with my son (30 minutes). One more snow circuit tonight and then probably another very big one in the morning.

Swim felt good and the times are starting to drop. jumping rope felt good, power cleans sucked. I thought I would get 185# easy, but need to be a bit quicker and aggressive dropping under the bar. More practice needed. I think I will add this to the 5-3-1 weekly rotation.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

You got snow at Christmas, I am jealous, we just get it for the two weeks before when I need to drive to work. Good to see your finding time to workout through the holiday. Have a great Christmas Jim.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Yeah, we got about 19 inches of snow. Took me three hours to shovel out, but it was a nice work-out with my dog (she catches the snow in her mouth and drives me crazy but has fun) and now it's beautiful out. I definitely need to keep working out due to the overindulgence of the holidays. The real party crowd arrives tomorrow! Have a nice Christmas holiday too Scott and keep up the great work! I also appreciate the advice you've given me this year.

45 minutes of shoveling wind drifts

Broke my other Buddy Lee rope tonight in the cold garage, even though I kept it indoors until just before the WOD and only jumped on the rubber mat. I was just about to break my record of 10 consecutive DUs when it broke. I had to switch to my final rope, a Fitness Gear one and, surprisingly, I liked it (it was easier to get going). Got a bunch of 9s in a row but kept choking on #10. DUs are slowly getting better, but its time to order some replacement ropes. DT was tough, but I was happy with my improvement versus last time. Smashed my nose really hard with the bar during round three of the "DT" push jerks and saw stars and scraped my nose up a bit. Good fun!:smiley_ev

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Good work with DT! I did that one last Friday and I'm still sore today. It's a tough workout. Hope your nose heals quick :)

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

That's a huge improvement on 'DT', 40lb extra and only 1 minute slower than last time, its all about those HPC's. Also I am hearing you on the old rope, was so tempted to go back to mine after not getting on with the buddy one, normal ropes are under-rated.

Enjoy the party and glad that your crowd can still get to you through 19 inches of snow!! , that would bring this country to a complete halt, we have trouble with 3 inches.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Thanks Scott. I was surprised at how much I had improved when I went back and looked at my last result. Admittedly, that was more than a year ago.

Because the BL ropes have so little resistance beween the rope and the handle, it takes me a couple of jumps to get the rope cranked up to full speed, whereas with the normal ropes friction between the handle and the rope feels like it makes it easier to get them up to speed initially. Thats not as much of an issue if you're good enough that you don't miss many reps and need to start over, but its more of an issue for me. I think the BL ropes can spin faster once you get them going if you use the proper technique.

[U][B]December 29[/B][/U]
I had to work late today, so I missed my workout. It's been 7 days in a row without a break, so perhaps a rest day isn't such a bad thing. I want to hit it hard tomorrow though.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

[B][U]December 30[/U][/B]
Another really busy day and no time to work out.

[B][U]December 31[/U][/B]
Busy at work and burning the candle at both ends, but snuck in the following workout before tonight's festivities.
[U]Warm-Up[/U]
10 minutes of jump roping
[U]Main Workout[/U]
Deadlift: 10x135#, 5x185#, 3x225#, 1x275#, 1x325#, 1x365# (PR by 10#)
Shoulder Press: 10x45#, 5x95#, 1x135#, 1x160# (PR by 5#)
2.6 mile hill run (untimed due to black ice on the road)
[U]Warm-Down[/U]
Stretched legs

Felt like crap today: bad diet, lack of sleep and really busy over the past few days and two days in a row without a workout. Really didn't feel like working out tonight, but got the PRs in so I am happy with that. On a good day I would have gone for bigger PRs, but I didn't think today was the right time for that. I'll save that for January.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Happy New Year Jim, glad to see you have pushed through and trained enough to keep moving forwards in the holiday.

Recovery day from the week's activities. Needed to just relax today.

[U]Warm-Up[/U]
10 minutes of jump roping
5 minutes of push-press and KBS warm-up, plus some pull-ups
10 minutes of dynamic stretching and mobility work
[U]WOD[/U]
[B]"Jack"[/B]
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
115 pound Push press, 10 reps
10 KB Swings, 1.5 pood
10 Box jumps, 24 inch box
5 rounds in 9:37 (called for dinner so had to abort)
14 seconds faster than last time through 5 rounds, so a PR of sorts. I definitely had 10 rounds in me today.

During the warm-up I hit 10 consecutive DUs (my old PR) twice in a row and then got 12, a new PR. My goal this year was to hit 20 and it may come sooner than I thought.

This week I want to start twice a days, so we'll see how that goes.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Come on Jim, you cannot start a 20 minute amrap without checking dinner's progress, being a lover of food and training that must of really tugged you both ways. Nice work on the doubles, they will come fast and you should probably put down 50 consecutive as this years target.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

You're right Scott. I messed up! I thought I had time to squeeze in the workout, but ended up spending too much time on the warm-up. My fault, but I made up for it today (see below).

[B]32:34 (unweighted, PR by 4:35)[/B]
8:36 (mile 1), 15:35 (20 rounds of Cindy), 8:23 (mile 2)

14 consecutive DUs during warm-up (PR by 2). Big PR on Murph, despite running at night with traffic, pot-holes, etc. Can't run as fast at night on that road. There are a lot of pot holes and cars keep their high beams on, blinding me so I can't see anything. Wasn't really pushing it hard all of the time on Murph, just maintaining a steady pace. Swimming felt good today as well.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Wow! That is a lot of work for one day!:notworth:

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Great work Jim, that's a quick time on Murph and a big PR. 20 rounds of Cindy also in sub 16 good going. Doubles are getting better, time to try and relax into them, I had a lot of trouble (still do) with over-tensing my whole body especially neck and shoulders, just guessing , maybe your loose already.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Yeah, staying relaxed is important and I'm getting better at it. The primary thing that has helped me improve has been doing a lot of beginner/intermediate drills like side-to-side, up-and-back, mixing up one-and two-legs, jumping in patterns, cross-overs, alternating SUs/DUs etc. To do those drills unbroken requires subtle rope control with the wrists (speeding up, slowing down, changing the rope placement) and that carried over into DUs for me. Those drills were easier to master than DUs and when I became good at them, I became much better at DUs, if that makes any sense.

Running intervals weren't much fun after Murph yesterday, although I felt better once I got loose and sweaty.
Took it easy on the front squats tonight and focused on form, as my legs have taken a beating. On a normal day I would have gone 200+.

6x50 yds, on 90 seconds (0:41x2, 0:42x4)

Felt a little sore today, which is not surprising on the second day following my first double workout day (swimming + Murph). However, I felt better after the warm-up 400 followed by some stretching and surprisingly my times were slightly faster today. No workout tonight, as I need some rest.

The wall climbs looked hard in the video, but I tried one yesterday and thought it seemed very easy. Well, as I found out today they get tiring real fast. The TTBs and box jumps were each done in about 1 minute per round and the rest was wall climbs. Great shoulder burn and a good exercise.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

nice work on Rankel! That looks horrendous, and after the swim! :notworth: (They used to make us stay away from the pool at hockey tournaments so the kids wouldn't be wiped out!!!). Where do you swim that you can do it midday??? i noticed a couple logs people sneak stuff in throughout the day, NICE! Wish I had that kind of a job!!!:)

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Thanks Deb. Swimming really wipes me out but for some reason I tend to perform pretty well the night of a swim workout. I swim at the local YMCA and have enough flexibility with my work schedule to fit it in. I'm more productive at work when I'm fit so everyone wins.

New DU PR of 26. I felt very sluggish today after yesterday's swim/Rankel workouts. I think it may have been all of the deads and KBS from Rankel. My right hip was a bit tender so I took it easy on the running intervals and skipped the ski circuit tonight (will do that tomorrow) and subbed wtd. pull-ups. That was smarter programming anyway.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Fine work on Rankel Jim, big score.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

:highfive: DU PR!!! its weird but I do better when I go slower after im fatigued. We got new speed ropes at the gym (they're like WIRES, I could see me cutting myself with one), and last nite Marc was doing TRIPLE unders w/one before the WOD....geez louise!

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

I was thinking of trying triple-unders, but DUs are fine for now. I think Buddy Lee does six-unders or something like that. My fast ropes are broken and I need to order replacements, but I've been improving pretty fast on one of my old slow ropes.

Today I shoveled my driveway for an hour and wrenched my back. Its pretty sore right now. So let's see, 48x225# deadlifts, 70x70# KBS in < 20 mins, no problem. Shovel the driveway and boom....seeing stars from the pain. This really Pi***es me off. :ranting2:

I've done this before and it should be better in a few days. Hopefully I can swim at lunch tomorrow and maybe do some lighter stuff after work.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

Hard to believe isn't it? I did same thing last spring. Rarely pull anything in the gym, but put a snow shovel in my hands. Boom!

Hang in there buddy.

Re: Down in Jim's Garage
 

That's typical for everyone Jim, last time I hurt my back I was cleaning my teeth. Hope it loosens up fast.
