Was logging some of my stuff on beyondthewhiteboard and the following was at the top,

I forgot to post last Friday - 01/22/09. We did 3-3-3-3-3 Back Squats and I was terrible. Mentally, I was unprepared to squat without the security of a squat rack and I never seemed to be positioned properly over the dynamax ball so I would squat and miss it. Ughh.

Saturday was a scheduled rest day and Sunday was an unscheduled rest day.

Today - 01/25/10
7AM workout at CrossFit Confluence

WU - 1000m row; 2X normal WU; additional stretching lunges and other weird stretching thingies

WOD:
*Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of

15 Push ups
12 Ring dips
9 Push jerks @ 115lbs.

knee push-ups again :mad:
box dips
45# bar

6 rounds + 2 push ups

Wow. My left shoulder started to fail on round five and I struggled through round 6. I drove home with one arm because my left arm was immobilized.

[QUOTE=John Scott Rezendes;728450][B]1-22-10[/B]I did manage a Deck-o-cards WO one day where each of the suites represents an exercise (i.e. spades=burpees, hearts=squats, etc) and you do the number of reps indicated on the card...(face cards=11,12,13 and an ace=15) as quickly as as you can deal from a shuffled deck. A fun, fast workout...perfect for a hotel room. I think I'm gonna call it the Deck-o-Death.[/QUOTE]

We did a deck of cards workout two Sundays ago, but pulled the facecards and jokers = burpees. Got a chance to repeat it yesterday and improved everything except for time. It was awesome!

I haven't been very good about checking in here, but things are well and I am still loving CrossFit!:cool:

After complete muscle failure in my left shoulder early this morning, I painted an entire room in my house later today. Pretty darned functional, eh? I think this CrossFit stuff works :D:D:D

[B]John J.[/B] Great work on the OHS
[B]Diane![/B] Cool deal on the cards WO. My kids love to torture me with a full deck...my daughter thinks kipping is cheating so I rarely let her choose pullups for one of the suites.

1-25-10
WU: dips, DH pullups, eleveated ring pushups, BW squats, #40 KB swings, SU

WOD: AMRAP in 15 minutes of
5 x burpees
10 x GHD
20 x #20 Wallball shots

5 rounds plus 2 burpees. Darned WB shots slowed me down. Followed it up with a 10 min C2 row of 2070 meters. Smoked. I'm participating in something called the Walk to Iraq to show support for my wifes unit. Somehow I'm (we're) supposed to walk/run/swim/bike/row 13,000 miles (+/-) by April. Yeah, stay tuned for that.
