3 weeks of WOD's (don't read if you aren't crossfit/fitness inclined)

+ almost 6 weeks of eating like a cavewoman, and although i haven't really seen the results i've wanted in some ways, i've been disciplined in my resolve and hardly faltered. that being said, my cravings for sweets have been excruciating.

straight to the point... haven't been blogging my workouts, in small part because i haven't been going as frequently as i would like to, and in large part because i'm too lazy to blog ;) here they are, in chronological order:

1.18.10

strength

3-3-3-3-3 power cleans (62 lbs)

WOD

50-40-30-20-10 sit-ups

10- 8 - 6 - 4 -2  power cleans (62 lbs)

1.20.10

strength

3-3-3-3-3 dead lift (128 lbs)

WOD

4 x 400m sprint

1:04/ 1:11/ 1:20/ -- 

DNF due to severe cramping in feet and legs. hated not finishing. won't happen again!

1.21.10

strength

1-1-1-1-1 power snatch (52 lbs)

WOD

5 rounds:

5 power snatch (37 lbs)

20 double unders

time= 9:20

oh man, the double unders were torture past round 2! once fatigue sets in, timing and coordinating double unders becomes nearly impossible, and i couldn't string more than one or two together. i had one of the slowest times, but there weren't many who did the WOD as rx'ed- most subbed 60 singles, which in the end, for me at least, would have been much faster.

1.24.10

WOD (at home)

100 push ups

100 squats

100 sit-ups

time= 12:04

sit-ups on plush carpet are not easy!

1.26.10

strength

3-2-1-1-1 snatch (42 lbs)

i hate the snatch. it is my worst lift by miles.

WOD

4 rounds:

100m sprint

10 turkish get ups (8 lbs)

time= 7:30

1.27.10

strength

1-1-1-1-1 push jerk (82 lbs- PR)

WOD

3 rounds:

max pull-ups

22/18/15

50 GHD

despite using the medium band, i was still happy with my numbers.

1.28.10

strength

1-1-1-1-1 clean (82 lbs- PR)

WOD

1000m row

time= 4:19

this was kind of killer. i had a decently strong time though.

1.29.10

strength

3-3-3 dead lift (92 lbs)

WOD

5 rounds:

5 dead lifts (92 lbs)

10 burpees

time= 7:37

i finished middle of the pack on this one. i worked out at 6am for the first time... there were 11 people packed into the gym (normally at the 4 and 5pm classes there are between 2-6), it was kind of insanity, but fun.

2.1.10

strength

1-1-1-1-1 clean and jerk (67 lbs- 75%)

WOD

100 burpees

time= 7:49

cut another 30+ seconds off of my time on this WOD. my goal for next time is 7:30.

2.4.10

WOD

"jackie"

1000m row

50 thrusters (22 lbs)

30 pull-ups

time= 10:44

i struggled with the row. i really struggled with the thrusters. i really, really struggled with the pull-ups. ok it wasn't THAT bad, but jackie is a big biotch for sure.

2.5.10

strength

3-2-1-1-1 front squat (112 lbs)

WOD

tabata sit-ups- 89

tabata kettle bell swings (25lbs)- 83

total= 172

CrossFit catch-up

+ two and a half more days until the holiday break!!! can't wait!!

CrossFit 12.7.09

strength
5-5-5-5-5 OHS
weight= 42lbs

WOD
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
thrusters (32 lbs)
burpees
time= 9:34


CrossFit 12.9.09

strength
1-1-1-1-1 push jerk
weight= 62 lbs

WOD
4x 200m sprints
times= 29/27/28/27
i don't love sprinting, but my times were good. it gave my arms a little extra rest too, which they certainly needed after monday.


CrossFit 12.11.09

strength
5-5-5 deadlift
weight= 93lbs (workout weight, not max)

WOD
"diane"
21-15-9
deadlifts (93lbs)
handstand push-ups (subbed pike push-ups)
time= 5:11
my dl weight may have been a tab ambitious for the WOD as i was really struggling by the end, and it showed in my time... not my strongest performance for sure.


CrossFit 12.14.09

strength/skill
rings:
dips (small band) 3x 10
body holds 3x 10sec
negatives (starting in up position and slowly lowering body; practice for solo ring dips, one of my goals)

WOD
5 rounds of:
12 hammer swings (medium hammer)
12 sit-ups
12 pull-ups (medium band)
time= 8:53
this one was tough... the pull-ups nearly killed me. i ripped two callouses off, but luckily they weren't as deep as the last one. my time wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. some girls did body rows, which would have shaved a bunch off of my time. my swings and sit-ups were pretty solid. hadn't done pull-ups since before the wedding and i felt it!


CrossFit 12.15.09

strength
3-2-1-1-1 cleans
max weight= 77lbs
hadn't done these in a while, wasn't unhappy with the weight. hope to go up at least 5 more lbs by next time.

WOD
30-20-10
wall balls (6lb ball)
double unders
time= 6:21
this one was exhausting, a great cardio workout. i should have been able to use an 8lb ball but i didn't feel up to it... next workout i will though!! gotta start moving up if i'm ever going to get to the 12lb ball like my goal says...
