JDub - Killing my softness
 

Thank the Lord for CF! I have been one of those guys that assumed that since I could bench over 300lbs and run a couple of miles I was strong and fit, well my definition of "strong and fit" is changing. I feel like the past couple of years I have just been going through the motions at the gym, thus my strength and fitness gains have been pretty ho-hum. I hope that CF can help me break out of this funk, I just have to steer myself away from that "how much can you bench" mentality.

I'm 6'0" and 200lbs, I don't have a weight reduction goal, I just want to be stronger, faster, and feel better. Here's to experiencing pain with the rest of you!

1st WOD!

10/29/2007
With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two pull-ups the second minute, three pull-ups the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.

Use as many sets each minute as needed.

[B]
12 Minutes of jogging on treadmill to warm up
Made it to 7 minutes, did 7 more, and on the eighth one I was out of time, dang I'm soft!
5 Minutes of jogging on treadmill to cool down

10/30/2007 Rest Day

Jogged 2 miles with the dog

Wednesday 071031
Front Squat 5-5-5-5-5 reps

[B]Warm-up: 2 rounds of CFW (minus the pull-ups, still pretty sore from Mon)
For some reason I did 10 reps and not 5, guess it's safe to say that the next time I do this workout I'll see a substantial increase in weights used.
95 - 115 - 135 - 145 - 155 [/B]

29m / 197 / WOD #3

CFWU - 2rounds (minus squats and pullups)

WOD
"Diane"

21-15-9 reps of:
225 pound Deadlift
Handstand push-ups

[B]Ok, I'm embarassed to post this, but here is what I did:
Deadlifts (225lb) 21 15 9 - No problem
HSPU 15 5 5 - I felt like such a Sally, I could not get my fat a$$ up in the air anymore. Don't laugh, but my overall time was 26:00, I kept trying for more HSPU but I was all out, dang I suck![/B]

This workout really beat the hell out of me, my body was not prepared for this.

"Isabel"

For time:
Snatch 135 pounds, 30 reps

Use 95 pounds, 65 pounds or broomstick as needed and post time and load to comments.

[B]Never done this exercise before. Started off with 65lbs, made it to rep #17 and my back was done. Well, it was already done before I started (thanks to the deadlifts on thur), but now it's really worked. Thank God today is a rest day!

Also walked 1.5mi this evening (and tons of stretching for my back). [/B]
