Jim's first official class at the box...I went for support.

He picked some crazy CFFB WOD...

It was in honor of a former football player/soldier that was killed in the line of duty - I'll get his name later (shame on me, I know)

The WOD was...

Every minute on the minute
5 Burpees
Max thrusters

As many rounds as needed to complete 100 thrusters. I thought i would start out with 135# (rx'd) and move down as needed to get at least 5 thrusters per round.

First 4 rounds - 20 thrusters @ 132
Next 3 rounds - 13 thrusters @ 112

Remaining thrusters @ 92

Finished at 21:47

Tough one...took place of 'Karen'. I'll either do it tomorrow or Thursday...at the end of the cycle. We'll see how I feel tomorrow after all the thrusters.

All pull-ups were unbroken. My sit-ups will always be slow. Not sure how much faster I can get this one done...

Hang power clean

7 - 95
5 - 135
3 - 155
1 - 165
1 - 175
1 - 185 (F)
1 - 185 (PR)

1 - 195 (F - Very close)
1 - 195 (F)

Had a rip on my right hand...couldn't really come under the weight all too well. All of my reps really ended in the thruster or press rack position.

Did 'Karen' today. Looking back on my log I thought I had done it more recently but it hasn't been since January 21st.

Last time 11:56.

Today 7:56 for a PR - but only the 2nd time I've done it. Used a little breyers last night to get me through today. 4th day in a row and was still a bit sore from the lunges the other day and the thrusters on Monday. Definitely looking forward to a rest day tomorrow.

'Mary'

5 HSPU
10 Pistols
15 Pull-ups

7 Rounds. RX'd. My first time doing this without any assist on the pistols. Some of them were ugly and on a few I didn't get back. My thought was that doing them in a WOD would be the best way to get better at them.[/QUOTE]

Did 'Mary' again today...expected better because I thoought the pistols would be easier. They were very hard. I was a bit sore from karen so it was hard to get my legs out in front. They looked ugly and didn't feel good. Some of them I even brought my other leg under right at the last second to help me get all the way up.

Anyway - back to practicing pistols again.

8 rounds + 3 pull-ups for a PR.

Complete as many rounds as possible 20 minutes of:
95 pound Thruster, 5 reps
95 pound Hang Powercleans, 7 reps
95 pound Sumo Deadlift High-pull, 10 reps

10 rounds + 1 thruster - PR.

Last time I did this was right after the Muddy Buddy - ended up with 9 rounds and the thrusters then...Almost another full round.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

"Nate"

Complete as many rounds in twenty minutes as you can of:
2 Muscle-ups
4 Handstand Push-ups
8 2-Pood Kettlebell swings

14 rounds + 1 MU - PR by 2+ rounds

Oh...and just thought of this. You can't really 'cheat' or do a lazy muscle-up. At least I can't. Sure you can short yourself on range of motion (I don't) but you can't cheat through the transition. You have to be aggressive every time, strong kip/head through - you can't 'go through the motions and do them slow like burpees.

Had a rough morning this morning. I accidentally turned my alarm off instead of hitting snooze. I have no idea why. First time I was late running the 6 am since I started in January...so I guess it's not too bad. Luckily Jim was there to get everyone started.

Overhead squat

7 - 95
5 - 115
3 - 145
3 - 155
3 - 165
3 - 175 - I actually did 1 with poor depth, then 3 with good depth.
3 - 185 PR

Didn't expect to PR with how I felt so I'll take it. I actully don't think I've done 3 rep OHS before. My 5 rep max was 175 - then I did 185x3 (missing on the 4th rep).

Good day that didn't start off that way...

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle

5 rounds for time of;

15 Power Snatch, 95#
400 M run

I'm good with that.

Weighted pull-ups

1 - 68 (Barely...may not have counted)
1 - 68 (F)
1 - 58 (Barely again)
