  • A Nice One After 3 Unintended Rest Days Workout

    So, I normally hit the box Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Doubler on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately, I was out of town Sunday and missed (i.e., overslept after staying up until 3 AM on Saturday for the first time in ages!) a Sunday WOD while on the road in Denver and then yesterday happened.

    Excuse the rant ... I'm still pissy about this.

    As the boys basketball head coach, I was required to go to Dove Creek, CO (check out where it is ... BFE to be sure!), which is a 3-3.5 hour drive each away, to hand in three envelopes for my all-star nominations (all-conferecne, all-region, and coach of the year). We (coaches) sat around for 45-60 minutes and tallied the votes together. Then we got to drive home.

    Seriously?!?! In 2012, we can't email our nominations and do a conference call??! WTF?!?!? Ugh ... so, long rant short, I missed a Monday WOD as well.

    But, no matter. Back at it today!

    5-10-15-20-25-30-35-40-45-50-45-40-35-30-25-20-15-10-5

    You CANNOT move onto the next set of reps unless you have done the previous set as unbroken. Even if you miss the 49th one of 50, you need to start the set of 50 again.

    There is a 20 minute cut-off

    I did this last year and ended up being stuck on the 15's going down which lead to a DNF.

    This time around, I took enough rest time in between, didn't miss any sets and finished at 12:53. My coach got 11:52 - I want to beat him next time ;) Want to take LESS rest on the way down, especially from the 30's.

    Ended the WOD with some deadlifts. Coach didn't want Opens competitors to get a max effort, so just did 4 sets at 210# to take it easy.

  • Shoulders and abs oh my Workout

    5-5-3-3-1-1 Push Press

    Then,

    15min AMRAP

    20 Squats

    135/165/195 on the presses.
    I put up 195lbs on the presses without too much trouble. I felt really good on the WOD...think the week off energized me. I did all the HSPU's unbroken.

  • 2-21-12 Max Push Jerk Reps & 2 Metcons Workout

    Max Reps of Push Jerk (135lbs) - 25 reps (could have done a few more if my form had been more efficient for the first 16 reps)
