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.

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.

Oh, and I registered for the 2012 CF Open. Pretty good days at the box lately.

February 14, 2012 - VDay Power Play
For strength: Push Press
then
8 Snatches
16 Wall Balls
24 Double Unders
4 Rounds for Time
Time: 00:10:35
Push press max of 115 pounds. First time doing all out push presses so I "maxed out". Wrists were still sore from Fran on Friday. Did half of snatches at 75, then 65. Felt really good about doing those. Wall balls at prescribed 20 pounds, felt great about those with great depth. Most of the double unders were done as singles with doubles mixed in. Kept the heart rate up and high and flew through this workout. High heart rate, high results. Great start to Valentines Day this morning!

WOD Feburary 10, 2021 - Fran
Fran
Thrusters
Pull ups
21-15-9
RX weight is 95 pounds
Time 00:13:33
I really warmed up for this. Really really warmed up. Did over half of the workout at 95 pounds as prescribed. After my wrists started to give out I dropped down to 75 pounds and finished it off. I've been working on not doing jumping pull ups and using the bands and doing a full pull up. It's harder but I know it is making me better. Took me a long time to do it, but I'm getting stronger and faster everyday.
About a month ago I couldn't even do five thrusters or better yet do Fran. This was a success for a workout.

5 Pull ups
10 Push ups
15 Squats
AMRAP 20 Min
Rounds: 11 + 29
Yes, I was one squat short of twelve rounds. My body was starting descent when time was called. It doesn't count. But I still finished it. Unofficially, 12 rounds. Still doing the pull ups with the green band but progressed to not using the jumping method and really doing more pull up work. Push ups were done full range of motion the first 5 rounds and then transitioned to knee pushups. Still did at least one full pushup before dropping each round.
