February 24, 2012 - DEADlift

Deadlift: 5, 3, 2, 2,

Deadlift
Wallball
15-12-9-6-3

Time: 00:09:45

Did max deadlift rep of 295 pounds times 2 today.  Wasn't feeling strong at all, coming off the weird work shifts I'm not at all surprised.  Ended up doing 165 pounds on the deadlifts and 20 pound wall balls.  My back and body was just gassed.  Pushed through and finished, while the trainer screamed at me.  Sucks when there are only two people and you finish last :)

CrossFit OPEN #1

Burpees
7 Minutes AMRAP

Score: 55

Treated it like a sprint rather than an endurance workout and pacing myself.  I'm going to do the workout again on Saturday, shooting for Saturday.  Can't wait to see where I stand at the end of week 1.

February 21, 2012 - Open Eve

Front Squat: 5, 3, 2, 2
then...
4 Cleans 
6 Strict Pull Ups
8 Bar Facing Burpees 
5 Rounds for Time

Time: 00:14:25

This workout was just a long long slaughter.  Fourteen minutes seemed like forever but I pushed through it.  Pull ups are ready for a new band.  I was going at a good pace on those.  The cleans I had to scale back really far.  I did one round at 105 then the rest at 95.  Fixing my form will go a long way on these.  Bar facing burpees are just ridiculously sucky, but I got through them.

New PR on the Front Squat.  155lbs.  Trainer said that I was "sandbagging" it so she helped me put more weight on.  My form on them was amazing.  Getting the elbows really high and the depth really low.  Much improved from when I first did them in Omaha.

February 20, 2012 - Jack

10 Push Press
10 KB Swings
10 Box Jumps
AMRAP 20 Min

Rounds 6

Did first two rounds completely RX (115 push press, 55KBS and 24" box jump).  After two rounds ripped off twenty pounds and did the rest of the workout at 95 pound push press.  Workout was just a killer workout overall.  CrossFit Open starts on Wednesday.  It's gonna be fun!

February 17, 2021 - Dianne

Deadlift (225)
Handstand Push Up
21-15-9

Deadlift: 185lbs

Time 00:13:29

Tried doing max deadlift but I wasn't really that warmed up.  Dropped forty pounds and went with 185, still challenging.  Still haven't mastered the handstand push up.  Subbed in 2min, 1.5min and 1min plank and then 21-15-9 push ups.  I think that may have challenged me more than the HSPU.  Good workout overall, need to work on handstand and handstand push ups.

February 16, 2012 - Total RX

10 KBS
20 Russian Twists
30 Paralette Jumps
AMRAP 16 Minutes

Score: 6 + 3 RX

Yeah, I RX'd today.  55lb KBS, 20lb RT and full jumps.  Workout got easier as I learned to get more efficient.  No matter what I RX'd and finally pushed the KB weight to the prescribed weight.
Oh, and I registered for the 2012 CF Open.  Pretty good days at the box lately.
