The making of me ^^

[Ariff Saufi]

Richard, i've been out of the gym since forever due having to move thousands of miles away from home for work. I've been relocated and this place here does not have any decent gyms around.

but i have recently bought a 135kg barbell set, and a couple of KBs (1 pood & 1.5pood) to start working out again. I'm gonna make my own parellettes and wall balls. and i'm thinking of ordering some rings.

i have alot of things to ask you but i dont wanna ruin your workout log with my stuffs.

maybe i'll msg you or you can drop over my old Training Log and we can talk there.

Deadlift - 130kg x 5, 155kg x 12

Cut the wod down to 20 minutes,

20 minute AMRAP
Five pull-ups (chest to bar)
Five ring dips
15 Sit-ups (anchored)

==> 17 rounds, 5 chest-ups, 5 ring dips, 3 sit-ups

I really think I forgot to write down a round towards the end, I'm not 100% sure so I didn't count it. Only sit-ups were broken. Chest-ups were out of rythm today.


PS : I love Colombia http://www.CrossFit.com/mt-archive2/hecho.html (wfs since it's on the main page)

Great job here Rich, kicked that WOD's A$$!

And yes, my friend, I too LOVE Colombia... For all it's fine ASSets...

Lower back muscles are really sore from the other day's high rep deadlift, but was still ok to squat. First session back to regular back squats.

Back squat - 110kg x 3, 125kg x 3, 130kg x 3, 100kg x 20, 105kg x 10

Finished with a couple sets of pistols, it's been awhile since I touched those and they felt smooth.

The box squats I did the past couple of weeks really kept my right knee safe as I feel I'm more prone to irritate it without the box. I didn't want to chase PRs right away so I stopped at a solid set and went for some volume. The high rep sets really helped me get my bounce back.

Another La Perla runway show last night, it was way too late and got home at 4am. Been busy all day moving stuff to a new house, got to the gym right before closing time and crammed in what I could. Warmed up with some hang snatches then :

Hang clean - 72.5kg x 12, tough on the grip

2 rounds of JT (21-15) in 13'13", HSPU were weaker than usual !

No energy, too tired from yesterday, next triplette will be all out !

Here's some pics from backstage, the nice woman next to me is Miss Belgium 2008, isn't she cute ?

The hang cleans combined with towel pull ups on Saturday was relentless on the grip, whatever anyone says or thinks 45 towel pull ups is ridiculously hard in comparison with 3 rope climbs. Nice pics Richard, your collarbones look really smooth and scab free
