Ok, fitness junkies...

[Switchback]

Ok, I did today's WOD: 1 pull-up in 1 min, 2 pull-ups in the next minute, etc. until you can no longer complete your reps in the alloted minute.

I completed 13 rounds. I am ok with that, considering I did them on rings (I didn't make it to the gym).

6 Kettlebell Push Ups

Been off the wagon for a bit -- my last go at Elizabeth tweaked my back a little so I've just been running the last few days with some push-ups / sit-ups thrown in.

Today wasn't much different -

4 mile jog
28:05

Max weighted pull-ups 1,1,1,1,1,1,1
55 lbs
60 lbs
65 lbs
70 lbs
75 lbs
80 lbs
80 lbs

I'm going to ease back into it tomorrow morning with:

5 - push-jerks
7 - hang power cleans
10 - sumo deadlift high pulls

95# with as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes.

I have a couple buddies meeting me to do Grindy today. I last did it a few months ago, alone... getting just over 20 min. I think, with people doing it with me, my time will be a bit better.

FYI, it is a cross of Grace and Cindy.
10 135# Clean & Jerks
5 rounds of 5 pull-ups
10 sit-ups
15 squats
10 135# Clean & Jerks
5 rounds of 5 pull-ups
10 sit-ups
15 squats
10 135# Clean & Jerks

It should be a good time... grueling, but a good time.

[ButterChunk]

5 push jerks
7 hang power cleans
10 SDHPs

95#s

Completed 9 rounds in twenty minutes. The SDHPs really smoked my forearms.

Then for some additional cardio -
400 meters
50 squats
x 6 rnds

[ButterChunk]

10 135# Clean & Jerks
5 rounds of 5 pull-ups
10 sit-ups
15 squats
10 135# Clean & Jerks
5 rounds of 5 pull-ups
10 sit-ups
15 squats
10 135# Clean & Jerks

Whoa! That looks tough! I don't think I could do that in 30 minutes, let alone 20!

[Switchback]

I did it in 16:20, baby!

I am very happy with that. Amazingly, I felt great afterwords... well, it took about 20 minutes, but I feel great.

Tomorrow, we are mixing it up a bit.
I am looking at as many rreps as possible in 20 minutes of the following:
5 Burpees
10 Hand-stand pull-ups
15 L pull-ups
30 box jumps

I was going to have us do 4 sets, but with the guys lagging behind me today (one of which is brand new to crossfit) I think it would be better for moral to start/finish at the same time.

I did it in 16:20, baby!

Awesome time! I'm going to give it a try next week, but I don't expect to come anywhere near that!

[Switchback]

Well, I had 4 min of improvement that I think can be attributed to refining my clean and jerk form. It was so bad the last time I did this one that the jerk ended up being more of a push-press than anything else.

How is that for calling it! I did 4 sets in a few seconds shy of 20 minutes. My buddy was halfway through his 3rd when he ran out of time.

[Jynkxxie]

Well, after having to take 3 damn weeks off...I am going to attempt the 4:30 wake up tomorrow, to join yous all again. :D

Thanks for all the new workouts guys...& Blue!

[bluelightzgrl]

Wow... I disappear for a couple of days (or a couple of weeks ) and everyone just drops off the planet? :p :p

Since I was last on, I've had go arounds with Cindy (16!!), Fight Gone Bad (nasty!! and I have to say I love FGB! Especially the Sumo Deadlift High Pulls), Filthy Fifties (25-something, :D) and a handful of other torturous things the gym owner has come up with. Lovin it!! I hit a new shoulder press PR of 95lbs after a WOD. ...and that lovely WOD called Fran is next weekend. :eek:;)

...and today, was Deadlifts 15 reps, Ring Dips 15 reps x5 for time. 14:36!! I went with 130lbs on the DLs, should of gone heavier they were still to easy on the last round. But considering this is only month 2 for me and my last DL PR was 1 rep of 160, not too shabby.

[Jynkxxie]

Give me 6 weeks, and I will finally have the time to commit myself to this again.

[Switchback]

...yeah, and I have had some really bad back issues (like opening up an 8 yer old workman's comp case). :(
