Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

Thursday:

Press x 1

165-175-185-195x-195x-190x-185x

Can't seem to figure out the magical alignment of planets that allows me to press more than 185. I've done it a couple times, but can't seem to do it consistently.

Friday

15 back squats, 315#
500m row

2:47

This was a challenge form CrossFit Endurance. My sub-3 gets me into the cert for free. Free certs are SWEET!

Today

30 min AMRAP
7 deadlifts, 185#
7 knees to elbow
7 burpees

This month's Painstorm, looks a lot easier on paper. I went with overhand grip on the DL's. Using an alternating grip would make the KTE's a lot easier. I'll probably try this again.

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

Haha, forgot to post my score for Painstorm.

18 rounds

Today:

Weighted Pullups x 5

25-35-45-55-65

5 x 500m row, 2min rest in between

1:43.4-1:50.7-1:58.1-2:02.2-2:03.2

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

3 rounds

10 thrusters, 135#
10 burpees

5:38

This was a lot harder than I expected. I flew through the first round in about seconds, but the second round of thrusters hit me like a ton of bricks.

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

Good Stuff....I might have to give that one a try. Heavy thrusters always kick my arse...although I make up for it with the burpees. I'm assuming the burpees didn't slow you down though?

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

The burpees weren't a problem, though I was a little winded on the second set. I still don't feel like it should have been as hard as it was. I was a meal behind schedule that day, which might have had something to do with it. I'll try it again in a month or so.

I came up with the idea of doing a FGB style WOD with the 12 x 3 min rounds a while ago, but I had never actually done it. Man, grueling is the only word that can describe it. However, an hour and a half later, I feel pretty good.

Friday

Dumbell Bench Press x 10

70-80-90-100-100

2000m row

8:17

Back seized up on the last rep of the last set of BP. It passed quickly, but it made me a little nervous going into the row. About 500m in my left forearm started to cramp up. Apperently, my grip still hadn't recovered from all the pullups and swings on Wednesday.

Saturday

4 rounds
400m run
50 squats

12:33

Not my best time on this, but not my worst either.

Today

Clean and Jerk x 1

135-155-175-195-215-225-235-245x-245x

Hurt my wrist on the second attempt at 245. I'll be running tomorrow, so it won't be a problem. However, I'm supposed to do "Hansen" on Thursday; hopefully, it will be better by then.

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

3 x 10 each:

45# OHS
glute-ham raise
GHD situp
pullups
pushups

Deadlifts x 1

135-225-315-405-455-495-515x-515x

Back in action! Decided to take a week off after I hurt the wrist, let that and a few other things heal up a bit. Starting my new program today. The goal is to improve my O-lifting, become a faster rower/runner, and finally achieve the allusive 3 x Bodyweight Deadlift. Took a crack at it today; the first attempt started to come off the ground, but I was seeing stars after a few inches. The second attempt didn't even budge.

Trail Run- short loop

28:37 (PR)

First trail run of the season. Best time on this route (which used to be my medium route) by about a minute. Still not sure exactly how long it is. My guess is somewhere between 4 and 5 kilometers.

Re: I've got a Monster in my Pocket!!!
 

warmup:

500m row

2 x 10

lunge w/twist, each leg

abmat situps, prone

This is a PR for my chest to bar/*** to ankles era. My overall PR of 28 was done chin over bar/parallel.
