May 4:
Warmup: Tabata Row for Cal: 54cal Skill: Still in a Gymnastics focus month so this involved hanging upside down on the rings (Had to have help to get up but was fine once there), tabata superman rocks, and 10s L-sit holds hanging from the bar. WOD: Front Squat (3),3-3-3-3-3-3-3 (53lb last warmup), 58-63-68-83-88-88-88x2 Failed the last rep. boo. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
Yes but with failure you know where to pickup and advance from. I'm sure you will get it next time.

Re: Bec's WOD Log
Thanks Shane, I just tend to have unrealistic expectations of myself really. I've made good progress on my FS really, it's still not where I'd like it to be though and that is the problem. My upcoming goal is actually 1RM of 100 for FS by July 1, so I actually think given yesterday's work that should be pretty well on target.
CINCO de Mayo: Skill - Still gymnastics, I usually really like our programming no matter who is doing it, but so far this month has just been weird. The skill work runs together with the warmups, and it is more just doing something for 2 minutes then going to the next thing, for 3-4 different things. Its nice to change things up and try new things, but so far this month not really getting (at least not seeing it) a cohesive goal other than exposure to alot of things we don't do regularly. We did some single modality extremes in the wod (all running on Tues, all strength on Wednesday), chipper on monday, and a couplet today so I'll assume we will have three movements tomorrow, it's certainly a good test of wods at every extreme I guess. WOD: 21-15-9 Deadlift (145rx/135me) OHS (85rx/65me) Time: 12:34 Very "awkward" sort of wod, we had to use the same bar and change the weight for each movement, so it was slowed down by that on top of it being just a weird combination, as well as having heavy weights the day after an ME strength day doesn't seem ideal (or at least my legs were telling me it wasn't). |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
Warmup: Double Unders..... I got[B] 2 individual DUs[/B]! First time ever. I had totally mentally given up, and it just sort of happened. Came back after the wod and got 1 more, but was just too tired to do anymore.
Skill: Headstands, managed to pike up a couple times, but this was genuinely painful on my neck. Headstand are not good for the fat kid. WOD: 05 Strict Pull-Ups 15 Back Squats(95/65) 10 Kipping Pull-Ups 30 Back Squats 15 Kipping Pull-Ups 45 Back Squats 10 Kipping Pull-Ups 30 Back Squats 05 Strict Pull-Ups 15 Back Squats Time: 18:30 something, I completely hosed the rep scheme, I thought it was a mirror of the first half after the 45 BS, so I did an extra round of 15 kipping PU and did 15 BS twice. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
May 9:
Skill - none, did a regular warmup and an extra long Burgener warmup for snatch with both pvc and a bar WOD - 10 rounds 15 High Hang Snatch (45rx/33me) 15 Pushups (on the rack, rung 4) Time: 14:42 - could've definitely completed with 45lb, but would have been questionable as to whether I would be able to workout tomorrow if I had, thats alotta reps. Getting there. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
So separately from my WOD, it is probably worth logging that I've drastically altered my supplementation. I've been feeling some frustration with the lack of weight loss, considering the amount of work I'm putting in it seems pretty ridiculous at this point. In my 2mo pre-crossfit of just paleo I lost about 10lb, and then in the past 8 months of crossfit I've lost another 10 lb (on a good day), which isn't insignificant, but its also not what it should be. I know I'm doing the right things, and I know I am losing fat/gaining muscle, but the weight should really be coming off more significantly.
So, in hopes of getting things moving a bit more, I've started supplementing: L-Glutamine Calcium Phosphatidylserine Thyroid complex - includes Zinc, Magnesium, Manganese, Copper, B vitamins, L-Tyrosine, Iodine. This is in addition to my pre-existing supplementation of Fish Oil and vitamin D. Fingers crossed something works... |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
So my time from yesterday was totally wishful thinking. It should have been 24:42 not 14..

Re: Bec's WOD Log
May 20:

WOD: 9 Front Squats (70lb - rx was 3 FS @ 120) 7 L or Strict Pullups (Grey band strict, then kipping, then strict with a toe on a box) Time: 17:00 Pullups are one of those movements that is just not getting any better, its pretty tough to keep going mentally when something is just so defeating. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log

Re: Bec's WOD Log
I realized its probably worth documenting for my reference, that I'm taking a rest week this week and also significantly altering my meals as of Sunday.
Its hard to know what duration of consistency is needed before changes will be apparent, but I feel I'm not getting what I want out of what I am doing right now, so it seems like more tweaks are in order. I added supplements a couple weeks ago, not really seeing any significant difference from those, but really in terms of supplementation I typically would not expect it to be dramatic anyway. Either way, I've tried an hoped things would work for me as typically they do for most, but so far no, so now it is time to prioritize, to reach my current goals I feel I am simply going to have to accept a diet that will potentially negatively impact my recovery and performance. I'm altering my eating schedule to include two large meals, dinner as normal and a brunch of about 2x the usual breakfast amount (5eggs + veggies), remaining unweighed/measured. I will also continue small pre & post workout snacks on days I work out, all other planned snacks had already been dropped awhile back. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
May 26:
Skillz: Tabata Tuck ups, mobility, Wall climbers, RX+ box jumps (got 20"+15lb bumper, so about 21", after failing miserably at 24") WOD: 5 rounds 5 Wall Climbers (sub 5 Ring Pushups, hardly a fair sub, but I'm not complaining) 10 TTB (getting really close to KTE, its more like knees to boobs though) 15 Box Jumps (20" as RX) Time 13:?? |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
May 31:
Getting back in the swing after a light week last week due to illness. Warmup/Skill: 500m row, 2min max hollow body rocks (43), Bridges, lacross ball mobility work. Max effort 800m Run: 3:58 WOD: Push Press 1-1-1-1-1 25x 33 3x 53 3x 53 63-73-[B]83-93-98 PR[/B] 98 is my previous Jerk PR, safe to say that has gone up quite a bit. That said, It is impossible to please myself, I went in just hoping for over 80, then when I got 98 I was disappointed for not going over 100. Just can't win. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
Jun 1:
Warmup - 500m row, flutterkicks, splits (front and side) Skill - Squat Clean WOD: 9-7-5 Squat Clean (100rx/73 & 63me) Strict Pullups (blah) 6:29 Less than thrilled, my front squat is definitely holding me back, I could've power cleaned thru this at 80+ but I started failing on squat depth at about rep 7 and had to drop weight for the 2nd round to keep a full squat. Same deal, pullups aren't looking any better at all, I still can't make it thru more than 1-2 with the grey band, so used grey band + toe on a box. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
June 2:
Warmup - DUs, hollow body hold, supermans, mobility hip stuffs Skill - Skin the cat (rings), best attempt got upside-down with assistance and then "slowly" rolled down. WOD - 1000m row 50 TTR (did KTE on Bar, no rings for me) 100 walking lunges Time: 15:05 Weighed to gauge progress this morning, definitely on target to be below the lowest weight I've hit so far when I weigh on Saturday, so the new eating schedule seems to be working as desired. However, as expected, recovery has been terribad as a result, pushing thru it though. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
Jun 3:
Warmup - run 200m, 400m, 800m (4:14, not as good as tuesday, but that was much less fatigued) Skill - Goblet Squats (6in from wall) - 5x15 with 5sec pauses at the bottom on every 5th rep. 20lb WOD - "Keep it Moving" Continuously move a KB for 10 minutes, penalty is 10 clapping pushups if the KB is dropped/set down. (rx35lb/me30) Acceptable movements were: KBS, SDHP, GtoH, pass throughs or around the body. Started with a strategy of doing 1 Minute of something before moving to something different, but quickly dropped to about 30 seconds. I stuck to swings and sdhp, with around the body as my "resting" stance inbetween. The worst of it was the heat & humity making it difficult to maintain hold without chalking. 0 Penalties. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
Jun 6:
Warmup - Row 250m easy, row 500m easy, row 750m ME (3:01) Skill - Dip holds & mobility, used red band WOD - 3 Rounds Run 400m 15 Power Snatches (45lb) 30 DUs Time: 24:53 RX I drastically, drastically overestimated how fast the DUs would go when fatigued. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
Jun 7:
Warmup - 400m Run (eww), bear crawl 1 lap around the gym, flutterkicks, stationary lunges, couch stretch Skill - Rope climb, obviously can't do this, but "climbed" from laying down to upright, and back down x2 WOD - 30-20-10 SDHP (45 rx) 10-20-30 Burpees Time: 7:59 Rx |
Re: Bec's WOD Log

Skill: OHS mobility/form - pvc & bar only WOD: OHS 5-5-5-5-5 53-63-73-[B]78-83lb[/B] PR Previous 1RM was 78lb, good improvement. Did not feel limited by the squat, could have handled more there, but was having trouble keeping it locked overhead. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
Jun 9th:
Warmup - run easy 400m (WTF with the running!), 10 inch worms, 10 dips (box), 10 Pullups (grey band), run ME 400m (1:58, my legs are pretty much brutalized from all the running and DUs this week), Burgner Warmup for clean WOD: Row 500m 21 Clean & Jerk (rx105/73me) Row 500m 15 C&J Row 500m 9 C&J Time: 17:57 |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
June 11:
Had a killer day of competition held at my affiliate. I competed in the scaled category, went in just for fun, but ended up doing alot better than I had expected. My two goals were to keep the movements Rx throughout and only scale the reps (CHECK!), and to complete under 30 minutes (CHECK!) Rx WOD: 3 rounds 800m run 50 Box Jumps (24"/20") 50 Wall Balls (20#/13#) Scaled WOD: 400m Run 50 Step ups (24"/20") OR 25 Box Jumps (24"/20") 50 Wallballs (<20/13#) OR 25 Wall balls (20/13#) Completed the latter version of lower reps, which is pretty much 3 rounds of Rx Kelly. Time- 24:48 |

Warmup - 2 Mins DUs, 25 Pushups, 2:00 max situps (48) Skill - Pullups WOD - Row 4000m Time: 18:17 First time long distance row, felt retty solid, I stuck with about a 2:15/500m easy pace, glad I held back a bit at the beginning or I would have been destroyed by the end. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
June 16:
Warmup - Row 3 min, dislocates, OHS WOD: BARBRA 5 rounds 20 Pullups (Grey band) 30 Pushups (rack) 40 Situps 50 Squats Rest 3 minutes between rounds, subtract 12 minutes from finishing time. Time: 29:?? - Nearly halved my previous time of 45 minutes, pushups were the worst part, by round 4 I could barely even hold myself up much less pushup. Squats were also alot more broken up than they should've been thanks to all the leg work in the past several wods, it caught up with me fast. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
June 17:
Warmup - Easy Row 1 minute, then 10 burpees. Row for 10 minutes. Shoulder mobility w/ Lacross ball & bully stretch. WOD - Press 5x3, 63lb After we finished Coach had us test 1 rep +10lb from where we were, it was difficult but hit 1RM [B]73lb PR[/B]. Given how fatigued from the 3s I was, I would guess I have 75-78 in me for a proper 1RM. I am finding it a bit boggling that I continue to make decent strength gains, despite the huge caloric defecit I am running right now. Also, getting impatient, decided to just go ahead and attempt to LP my front squat so I stayed after and did 3x5 65lb. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
June 20:
Warmup - 500m row, supermans, hollow body hold, shoulder mobility, couch stretch. Skill - Push Ups WOD - 100 KB GtoH (35rx/30 me) Time 5:17 Pretty mentally/emotionally crappy at the moment, it's hard to put any energy into a WOD when you feel pretty beat down. I dropped calories significantly a couple weeks ago, only to weigh in Saturday for the 3rd week in a row on very low calories with no weight lost - which means now a total of almost 3 months with no weight lost. Basically just going to give up and quit micro-managing my meals anymore because it seems to not matter at all, far too frustrating to put in all the effort, do everything perfectly, even go beyond to absolutely ensure achieving my goals, only to have absolutely no result. So going to continue eating clean, but stop worrying about when/what/how much, as much as I have been. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
June 21:
Warmup - Run 400m, cavemans (stationary inchworm+squat+alternating lunges) Skill - Ring rows, ring roll outs - both with slow ascent/descent counts WOD - Split any way Row 1500m (supposed to be run 1200, but started raining) 100 Goblet Squats (35 as Rx) Time: 13 min Split up as 500m, 25, 500m, 25, 500m, 50. worked out well, but should've done sets of 30s instead of 25s on the squats. |

Warmup - Tabata bear Crawl, splits, burgener wu for snatch Skill - Snatch balance WOD - Row 500m 21-15-9 DB Push Press (30 rx/25me -HEAVY) Squat Snatch (53 rx) Row 500m Time: 15:58 Still feeling pretty defeated about the dietary crap, it makes me very upset that I can do everything right, but not get results. I took the past week off from strict paleo, didn't eat horrible but had a couple indulgences (a milkshake, sub sandwich, some potato chips, cheese, hamburger helper) I wouldn't normally allow or at least not in that volume over a 1 week period. Back at it clean today, adding a bit more carbs into day to day eating, should put me about 100-150g. Trying to figure out how to mentally reset and get myself excited about this again. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
June 28:
WU - easy row 250 x2, max effort 500m - 1:50:0.. so close, too tired/sore to push it any lower :(, ring dip negatives Skill - Wall Climbers WOD - Run 800m 30 C&J (85rx/73me) Run 800m Time: 14:57 Pretty happy with this one, I definitely had 85lb, but with the runs and leg intense wod yesterday, I took it easy on the weight. Also really pushed it and did not walk at all on either 800m which is pretty good. |
Re: Bec's WOD Log
June 29:
WU : easy 400m run, max effort 200m (59sec), bridges, lacrosse ball hip work, box hip stretch.

WOD: Find 3RM Deadlift 10x 33lb 5x 123lb 3x 153lb 3x 183lb 3x 193lb [B]3x 198lb[/B] Should have gone with a 10lb jump to 203 for my last attempt rather than 198, I think I could have done it, but after that attempt there was no way I was going up for another 3 reps. Pretty beat from the past couple days, it felt really heavy. Endurance set - 98lb, 22 unbroken reps. |
