Chuck's Log: Forging Elite Vomiting

[Charles Bennington]

Well I guess I'll throw out my workout log for everyone to tear apart.

Today:
3 Rounds as fast as possible:
20 KB Swings 1 Pood
40 Ax Swings on the log
40 Sledge Swings on the tire

Followed By:
1 trip across the yard with each
Tire Flip
Heavy *** Rock Carry
50 lb Sandbag OH Carry
Jump Squats
Crawl/Renegade Row Thing w/ 40 lb Dumbells
Tire Pull w/ Rope

Probably would have gone longer, but I dragged 2 noobs into the suck fest with me.

Today I ate chicken, cod, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, tomato, peppers, mushrooms, and some cheese.

Well today was:
Five rounds for time of:
155 pound Hang squat clean, 9 reps
15 ft Rope climb, legless, 3 ascents

29:20

Squat cleans were great. The rest however, was not. My grip/forearms were so done from yesterday that the rope climbs went something like-

Rope Climb>Dead Hang Rope Pull Ups>Kipping Rope Pull Ups>Dead Hang Ring Pull Ups>Kipping Ring Pull Ups>Kipping Bar Pull Ups

I would say that probably 22 of the 29 minutes went toward doing some kind of pull up/climb "thing." I'm actually having trouble typing this right now.

Good job on just finishing that workout no matter what kind of pullups you did.

By the way, that's a lovely top you have on in your avatar.

Rope climbs murder the grip. I don't think that this was an easy workout for anyone.

Yeah I was using 3/4 inch manilla doubled twice...doubled suck. I'll get some pics of my home Crossfit set-up on here in the next couple days.

Thanks for the post on my log tonight, Chuck! I'll be trying the tire flips soon. Love the avatar! Very cute.

Food today: Chicken, carrots, broccoli, shrimp, cauliflower, almonds, EVOO, some cheese, tomatoes, red pepper, and water chestnuts.

Spent the morning with a little nausea, pretty sure it's just my body getting used to the absence of sugar/grain/booze/cigarettes...damn it's been a rough several days.

Today's mainsite WOD looks killer. I'm already trying to talk myself into doing it, but I really do need the rest day.

I did Saturday's WOD yesterday, a random asskicker metcon Saturday, and a heavy lift day on Friday (Front Squats, OHP, Rows, Pull ups.)

If I feel really, really, really good after work- I'm going for it. Otherwise I'm getting a little bit of active rest, before my arms break.

Chopped wood for a bit, pretty sure that I'm taking a night off. Legs are pretty sore. Feeling pretty mentally clear and energy seems to be up.
