Crossfit Day.. Let’s say 650 – 9/20/16

650 is a good, solid number. And to go back and document everything is dreadful. And I have been going several times a week, so the chances that I’ve gone 30 times in the last 3 months is very likely. Any workouts or CF days where I feel like going back and documenting, well, I’ll just come up with an arbitrary number in between 619 and 650 and nobody will ever know.

Today was good. Today was my let’s get this shit together and get this done day. It felt really good, and I even left work a little early to make sure I didn’t have any bad excuses. Made it in time for the 5:30 wod and it was the following:

3 rounds
1 : 50 double unders
2 : max reps bench (135/95)
3 : 10 pendlay row (135/95)
4 : 1 legless rope climb + 1 rope climb
5 : max push ups
6 : rest

Score is bench/push ups numbers.

I did some DUs at the very beginning during our warm up, but went right into singles for the WOD. No sense in screwing up my feet for this.
I did 1 regular rope climb per round, instead of 1/1 or 2 regular rope climbs.
I used 65lbs for the bench, and 55 for the Pendlay rows.

My score was 73/45 and it felt amazing.

Crossfit Day 617 – Grip Strength – 6/17/16

You don’t realize how much your grip sucks until you do a workout like this..

1000m row buy in
then
3 Rounds
3 Rope Climbs
200m Farmer Carry (70/55 per hand)
10 Hang Snatch (95/65)

I went, I did it, I hated it. I finished in 25.28, but I do recall using sissy KBs on the last round. My hands just couldn’t take it. I don’t know how everyone else suffered through that, my hands simply hated me!

Need to work on these weaknesses.. but for now, please enjoy this picture of my amazing sweet potato brownies!

Crossfit Day 605 – All the Rope Climbs – 5/24/16

Today was a tough one. It was a day that I couldn’t think about, or I would’ve stressed over it and probably just not have gone. It wasn’t until I got home and was getting dressed that I remembered there would be rope climbs. And handstand walks. I got dressed anyway and went, determined to do my best.

After our warm ups and whatnot, I was messing around with handstand walks, and just, on a whim, busted out a few attempts. I actually went further than I thought I would, by practicing my counter balance with my legs. (scorpion feet?) The fact that someone even commented on it was either a) them noticing that I did better than usual or b) they just felt bad that I could only get 3 feet across the floor on my hands but whichever.

This is also more than likely the most rope climbs I’ve ever done during a WOD. I usually give up and just scale them back, reps-wise, during WODs because they are so exhausting for me. I was pretty proud of myself here.

The WOD(s):
100′ HS Walk (8 Wall Walks)
5 Power Clean and Jerk, 225/155
3 Legless Rope Climbs

Rest 4 Minutes

2 Rounds
18 Calorie Row
3 Power Clean and Jerk, 225/155
2 Legless Rope Climbs
Rest 4 Minutes
3 Rounds
9 Calorie Row
2 Power Clean and Jerk, 225/155
1 Legless Rope Climb

I did all my rope climbs! Not legless, but still rope climbs! I did all my 155lb C&J, something I’m super proud of, and I did as much rowing as I could. It wasn’t RX because the rope climbs weren’t legless and I didn’t get my 100ft of HS walks in. (but I did do about 10-15ft? Yesss…)

My time ended up being 23 min or something. Yay.
