Monday, March 30, 2009 WOD:

As Many Rounds in 20 Minutes of:

5 L-Pull Ups
10 Hand Stand Push Ups
15 Kettlebell Swings

Rx’d Weight for Kettlebell Swings is Men/24kg & Women/16kg

My Performance: 5 plus 6 HSPU's MOD

This workout is way to hard for me to do Rx'd. I did L-sits--hold for 10 sec. Still way harder than it should be. I did kipping HSPU's but Rx'd the KB weight. I didn't feel very fatigued like I normally do (so I didn't have to invoke my mental toughness) but I sweat ALOT. The kipping HSPU's were easier than the MOD HSPU's--I thought anyway.

Friday, March 27, 2009 WOD:

As Many Rounds in 20 minutes of:

10 Thrusters
10 Pull Ups

Rx’d Weight for Men/95lbs & Women/65lbs

(thrusters are full squat)

My Performance: 6 rounds Rx'd

Deceitfully killer WOD. Need I say more? Even the guys had problems getting more that 5 rounds. Totally sucked and I sweat way too much.

Wednesday, March 25, 2009 WOD:

Back Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

You will only have 7 sets of 1 rep each.

My Performance: 125-135-145-155-175-185-200!!!

That's right! 200lbs! PR by 35lbs! I feel so pumped! I honestly didn't think I would do very well. I set my goal at 165 (same as last time) b/c of the plague that went around the gym and I'm still sore from Monday's WOD. I did better on my breathing today and used a lifting belt. I think both of those things together really helped.

Monday, March 23, 2009 WOD:

“Angie”

For time:
100 Pull Ups
100 Push Ups
100 Sit Ups
100 Squats

You must complete one exercise before moving on to the next.

My Performance: 21:59 MOD

I started off with regular kipping PU's, but only did 20 before I started with JPU's. I went back and forth between kipping PU's and JPU's. I lost count. I either did 35 or 40 kipping and the rest jumping. I did only knee push ups and finished off with a good push on the squats to finish before 22 minutes. This one was hard. Thanks to Uncle Dan for encouragement. He's my new pull up hero. Oh, and Sabrina made a picture post!

Here's a picture of me doing a 24" box jump from Monday's workout.


21-15-9 for time of:

Overhead Squats
Pull-ups

Rx’d Weight for Men/95lbs & Women/65lbs


My Performance: 10:39 Rx'd (again!!!)


It felt really good to Rx two workouts in a row! And I pushed really hard, tried not to take rests, and went from one to the other without stopping. This is my first time doing OHS's--I think I did pretty good--don't you?

Wednesday, March 18, 2009 WOD:

4 Rounds for time of:

5 Shoulder Press
10 Push Press
15 Push Jerk
Run 400 meters

Rx’d Weight for Men/75lbs & Women 55lbs)

My Performance: 21:57 Rx'd all the way baby!

This one was really hard. I feel like I pushed through it really well though. I let myself rest for more than 5 or 10 seconds at a time. And after that brutal beating was Paul's "get us ready for summer" stomach conditioning. I'm gonna be feeling this one for a while...
On a good note--I didn't wear my knee brace today!

Monday, March 16, 2009 WOD:

4 Rounds for Time of:

20 Dumbell Cleans (from the ground)
20 Push Ups
20 Box Jumps (24 inch box)

Rx’d weight on dumbell cleans for Men/40lbs & Women/20lbs

My Performance: 30:45 Rx'd only doing knee push-ups on the last two rounds because Paul made me.

This one kicked me big time. Everyone was having trouble though. I had to take breaks from the start. I couldn't do any of the reps without stopping. The box jumps ended up being the easiest for me to do...which was surprising to me!

Friday, March 13, 2009 WOD:

4 Rounds for Time of:

Run 800 Meters
Rest 2 Minutes

Score is total time including rest

My Performance: 25:38

I was hoping for a run today, because I felt like there was no way that I could do a Met-Con workout. I didn't stop running, and even encouraged Sabrina to keep running. I can feel that even though I'm pretty much starting over after being sick for so long, I'm still getting better. Pukie knocked on my door today. Guess that's what I get for missing 2 weeks.

Wednesday, March 4, 2009 WOD:

Shoulder Press

1-1-1-1-1-1-1…
One Rep Max

My Performance: Maxed out at 68 lbs.

63-65-(68/)-68-(73/)-(73/)-(73/)

I had a hard time today. I think I'm still recovering from being sick. Guess I'll take another day off and try again next week.
