WOD:

20 min AMRAP
95 lb. Thruster, 5 reps
95 lb. Power Clean, 7 reps
95 lb. Sumo High-Pull DL, 10 reps

11 rounds + Thrusters & Power Cleans

A 2+ round PR from the last time I did this WOD a year ago, so pretty happy with my effort. I could not quite keep up with Ryan, who is just kicking ass (especially mine) lately. I was able to get through each set of thrusters and power cleans unbroken, but the Sumo HPDLs are the devil. I was breaking those up too much.

Thursday, October 28, 2010

WOD:

21-15-9
Turkish get-ups w/45# barbell, alternating right and left arms
Sots Press w/45# barbell

We messed up the first round and did 21 each arm, it should have been 21 total (instead of 42 total if 21 each arm is performed.

34:02

Would rather not do that again.

Wednesday, October 27, 2010

WOD:

Back squats

For time:
21-18-15-12-9-6-3
Sumo High-Pull Deadlifts w/75#s

Much slower than I feel like I should have completed this one. Still out of gas from this weekend.

Thursday, October 21, 2010

15 rounds of 'Cindy' for time:
- 5 pull-ups

Burpees
Box jumps, 24 inch box
Toes-to-Bar

Time - 29:04

That was horrible.

Monday, October 18, 2010

WOD:

5 rounds of
Push Press or Push Jerk 85#s x 15 (do push press as long as possible, then go to push jerk)
Rest one minute


The goal for this WOD is push press unbroken, downshift to push jerk if needed, through each round. I made it 3 rounds all push press. The fourth round I push jerked through unbroken. The fifth round I made it to 11 and then failed.

then....

Lunges for 400 meters for time

Time - 19:02

Friday, October 15, 2010

WOD

1-1-1-1-1 Squat Clean
....then....
500 meter row for time

205-225-235-240-245 (20-30 # PR!!!)

1:28 500 meter row

I have power cleaned 245 at a higher BW (235#s), but the most I have squat cleaned ever is 215-225. The 500 meter row was awesome. I love the old school model B rower, but I will have to try it on the newer Concept II to make sure I know how to replicate it on that style of rower as well. I could hardly breath for 10 seconds after getting off the rower.

October 14, 2010

WOD:

'Nate'

As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
- 2 Muscle-ups
- 4 Handstand push-ups
- 8 Kettle bell swings w/2 pood (72#) KB

6 rounds+ (partial round of 2 muscle-ups, 3 HSPUs)

Just 3 months ago one round of this WOD Rx'd, or even 1/2 a round, would have been impossible. I just never thought I would be able to Rx it. HUGE gains these last couple of months thanks to working out with Jeff Vale at CrossFit Snohomish gym.

Tuesday, October 12, 2010

WOD:

3 rounds for time:
30 Walls balls (20# ball)
30 Squats Snatches w/75#
(bar only has to go past the knees at the bottom)

20:24

Waaay harder than it sounded. Ay caramba! The squat snatches were brutal!

Monday, October 11, 2010

WOD:

Five rounds for time:
5 Squat clean thrusters w/135#
10 Chest-to-bar pull-ups

Time - 7:03

Heavy thrusters felt pretty good for once (usually feel like they are going to crush me).

- 24 DB squat cleans, 45# DBs

Time 38:09

First rounds I went through pretty easily and then hit a wall and really struggled through the second. Last time through DB squat cleans was rough! Those are so much harder than barbell squat cleans!

'Annie'

50-40-30-20-10

Double-unders
Sit-ups

Time: 11:31

Prior best was 16:01, so a 4.5 minute PR.

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

WOD:

20 AMRAP:

7 Squats w/185 #s
10 Walking lunges w/45# DB held overhead in right hand
7 Burpees
10 Walking lunges w/45# DB held overhead in left hand

5 rounds + 7 squats

Took the last 3 days off because I was sick with a head cold. Feel a little better, but still not a 100%. Just could not sit around any more.

Friday, October 1, 2010

WOD:

5 rounds for time:

5 Muscle-ups
10 Overhead Squats w/115 lbs.
15 Toes-to-bar
20 GHD sit-ups

Time - 38:48

First time doing 25 muscle-ups in a WOD (or in one week probably). Failed only 2-3 times. Defintely dialed in some technique to still be able to get them when I am fatigued. I was able to get through 10 straight Overhead squats w/115 on at least the first and the last round, which is an improvement on OHS.

25 Muscle-ups are brutal. Still can't come close to stringing them together. Still suck on the toes-to-bar.
