Monday, January 02, 2006 - Crossfit WOD 060102 (Linda)

Training
Bike 4 minutes @ 15kmh
Shoulder warmup stuff...
Few sets of light cleans/deads

Linda
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:
Deadlift: 1½ body weight
Bench press: body weight
Clean: ¾ body weight
Set up three bars and storm through for time.

I used 275/185/135 with body weight of 180. Time: 52:36

Overall
I'm quite embarrassed to post this. My strength was fine as my sets were unbroken, my endurance was fine as I could still carry on a conversation, but my lower back was extremely tight from Friday's workout. After the first or second round, I was taking 5-7 minute breaks between each round so my back would loosen up. In fact, I was pretty close to quitting. If my back was fresh, there's no doubt in my mind I would hit sub 20. I'm very ****ed with my performance on this.

Jodi used 50% of rx'd weight and completely destroyed me at 17:04.

Tuesday, January 03, 2006 - Crossfit WOD 060103

Training
Bike 3 minutes @ 20kmh

Tabata Squats (20 seconds of work, 10 seconds rest, repeat 8 times)
Muscleup (sub 5 chinups + 5 dips = 1 muscleup) as many reps as possible in 4 minutes
Rest 1 minute
Repeat

Multiply lowest squat count by the number of muscleups for each round. Add rounds together for total score.

Round 1
Squats 27-30-30-29-29-26-26-27
Chins/Dips 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 (9)
Score: 26*9 = 234

Squats 25-25-25-22-22-22-22-22
Chins/Dips 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 4/0 (6)

Jodi
Round 1
Squats 23-24-25-25-23-24-22-22
Chins/Dips 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 (6)

Chins/Dips 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 4/0 (5)
Score: 20*5 = 100

TOTAL: 232

Overall
This felt pretty good. Especially since I beat her for once. My back is still a bit stiff from the deads, but nothing major. Forgot my shoes, so this was done bare foot. Wasn't really an issue, other than strange looks from people in the gym.

Oh, and I've changed my routine. It will be as follows:

Sunday - Rest/Grappling Drills
Monday - WOD/MMA
Tuesday - WOD
Wednesday - 5x5 (squat/bench/row)
Thursday - WOD
Friday - WOD
Saturday - 5x5 (deadlift/military/chinup)

WOD can be subbed for something different should it interfer with my 5x5. For example, I won't do ME deads on a Friday and then 5x5 deads on Saturday. There will also be times when we switch Saturday's 5x5 to Friday so we can go to the pool on Saturday.

Wednesday, January 04, 2006 - Walk / Jog

Training
Walk 0.5 miles @ 3mph
Jog 0.5 miles @ 5-5.5mph

Time: approx 16 minutes (forgot to check).

Overall
First half mile was a breeze - not even a hint of shin splints. I picked up the pace and kept it between 5-5.5 and only started to get some discomfort in the last 0.2 miles.

Overall
I felt pretty strong today. I got lots of leg drive on the heavier sets, but not much of a jump. Oh well. 235 was pretty heavy, but that's one hell of a PR. Jodi built up to 80 and just missed an attempt at 95.

Time: 17:23

Overall
Whooo! I felt awesome today. The rows were a bit slow because of some cramping shins, but the cleans felt fast. My technique was not the best (not jumping/dipping enough), but not bad overall. Tomorrow is 5x5 ... deads, military, chins. I'll scale the weight back this week and then continue +5/10 as usual.

Jodi flew through and is looking comfortable with the cleans, she probably could have used more weight.

Lori is the front desk girl. We convinced her to try a workout, but she wasn't comfortable with cleans so she subbed burpees. She's preparing for rugby, so I think crossfit will do her well.

Monday, January 09, 2006 - Crossfit WOD 060109 "Cindy"

Training
Bike 3 minutes @ 20kmh

Cindy: complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

Anthony (BW=180): 19 rounds as rx'd

Jodi (BW=110): 15 rounds, last two rounds of chinups were assisted at the hips, and last 2 rounds of pushups were from knees

Lori (BW=180): 17 rounds, assisted chinups at BW-90 and pushups from knees

There was another guy on round 5 or 6 when I had to leave.

Overall
This felt awesome. My goal was 15+ but I would have been happy with 10-15 just because my chinup endurance isn't the greatest. But damn, it must be improving because I had a few more sets left in me ... 19 rounds blew my mind. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

The crossfit revolution at my gym has begun. I have 3 other people doing crossfit on a regular basis and about half dozen others asking about it. And these are just regular people ... imagine when I introduce this to firefighters, police officers, and soliders - people who actually base their living on this type athleticism. Insane.

I've never maxed on hang cleans before and built up too fast. Not overly impressed, but I had no idea what to expect, so I guess I should be happy. Or something. Jodi got 80.

Overall
Not too bad. It's been awhile since I've done "heavy" squats, so it took a few sets to adjust. Bench and rows felt smooth. Got some tightness in my lower legs during the run. I really need to start those exercises.

Anthony Bainbridge · 01-12-2006, 03:42 PM

Thursday, January 12, 2006 - Crossfit "Karen"

Training
Bike 4 minutes @ 20kmh

Anthony (BW=180)
150 wall ball shots with 24lbs SANDBAG
9:25

Jodi (BW=110)
150 wall ball shots with 8lbs med ball
5:44

Lori (BW=180)
150 wall ball shots with 8lbs med ball
9:42

Overall
What surprised me the most was how much of a grip workout I got from catching/throwing the sandbag ... damn!! The good news is that when the owner saw me carry in the sandbag we got talking about medicine balls. The heaviest our gym has is 8lbs, so I think I convinced him to get a 12 and 20! I don't mind using the sandbag, but it would be too big of a jump for Jodi ... the thing is brutal on your grip. I think I dropped it 4-5 times.
