CrossFit WOD (Page 28)

Today was a rough one for me.  Two things I'm horrible at combined into one awful workout:

30 KB swings, 5 wall ball, 25 KB swings, 10 wall ball, 20 KB swings, 15 wall ball, etc. 'til you reach 30 wall ball.  And those last 30 wall ball were AWFUL!  I'm really proud of myself that I did the whole thing w/out having to scale it.  I did use a little lighter KB than RX'ed (don't remember what the RX was...mine was 16 kg).  The whole thing took me 20 min., which is horribly slow, but i'm still happy w/it.  I literally could barely walk by the end.  My legs are still hurtin' if I try to do stairs.  Tomorrow should be interesting.... 

To add to the fun of the day I met a girl I hadn't seen there before.  When I told her my name she said "Oh you're the strong one with the huge deadlift!"  It's fun to be recognized for something.   I'm typically dead last on the endurance stuff but I but up pretty good competition for strength.

Yesterday's WO in my CF gym was one of the hardest yet ... Still hurting!

80 Squats, 40 Kb (36 LB) Swing, 20 Burpees
64 Squats, 32 Kb Swing, 16 Burpees
48 Squats, 24 Kb Swing, 12 Burpees
32 Squats, 16 Kb Swings, 8 Burpees
24 Squats, 12 Kb Swings, 6 Burpees
16 Squats, 8 Kb Swings, 3 Burpees

When I was done (28 minutes and change) it was painful to breathe 

yesterday did a mean workout you could say was crossfit inspired. Killing my quads as I type.

135lb jump squats, 6 reps

High box jumps, 14 reps

rest 30 seconds

repeat x3

legs, and calves miraculously, are toast.

That sounds AWFUL!

I had an exciting crossfit moment the other day.  I was the only one out of everyone that worked out that day to do the workout as RX'ed.  That's definitely something I never thought would happen.  Usually I have to scale everything.

The workout was 5 rounds of 5 deadlifts (men: 315 lbs, women: 205) and 20 box jumps.  It was tough.  Neither deadlifts or box jumps are that hard on their own (ok box jumps are evil) but with the two combined the last couple rounds got really hard.  I finished in 12:30.  I guess I'm just lucky that heavy deadlifts are one of my few crossfit skills.  Regardless, I'll take my moment of glory.    

Great work!!! I had box jumps today. Very evil. 

lil_turtle - 2008-12-30 11:24 PM I got a new deadlift PR today.  And it was the women's gym record.  250 lbs.  Woohoo!

Beat my old record today.  Surprised myself and made it up to 275!

I've only been going CF for a week, so my body is still adjusting.  I've been modifying the workouts so I don't get hurt (like I did at my first CF workout... major muscle pulling in my abs).  Last night, I did the "3 Rounds for Time" of:

Prior to doing it, I thought that this might actually be a more relaxing workout.   Needless to say, I blew that one.  I was only able to do "2 Rounds for Time of:

I finished / nearly died at 10:45, but I'm putting that in my "Do This on Overhead Lift" days (since overhead lifts aren't allowed at my gym).  I WILL work up to the full set!!

Helen - 11:26

As I remember I had broke 10min on hel(l)en when I was xfitting hardcore... I suppose I need to get back at it! I was beat down after this one.
