Urg...Monday Morning WOD
A. Back Squat 1-1-1-1 135#, 145#, 155# no problem, 165# got down but dumped it as I was starting up. No one in the gym to spot me, which would have helped because this is totally in my head.
B. EMOM 15 minutes
3 Chest to bar pull ups (attempts), 3 HSPU (still a work in progress), 10 wall ball (14#)
C. For time
30 calorie row, double unders, KBS 35#, 30 Burpees (very slow today on these)

12/28/2014

Rest Day or Skill Day
I worked on double unders, handstands and toes to bars.
100 double unders - 3:01
100 double unders - 2:30
Definitely getting better but would like to be able to string together more than 15 and not have to expend so much energy, a work in progress!
Toes to bar - starting to understand the need to stay tight.

REST Day!
I opened the gym for a couple of hours for those who needed a respite from the holiday 🎅.
I worked rowed a 2K and worked on my double unders. Then worked for about 45 minutes on mobility. It felt great!

AMRAP Day!
I usually like a AMRAPs and I liked this one after the first round. Needless to say the first round sucked!
10 minutes
2 Rope Climbs, 3 Hang Squat Snatch (really struggled with this today), 4 Burpee Box Jump Overs
Rounds: 3 + 1 Rope Climb
Rest 4:00
10 minutes
4 Pull ups, 5 Shoulder to OH (65#), 6 alt DB Snatch 35#
Rounds: 6 + 1 pull up
Rest 4:00
10 minutes

Rounds: 3 + 7 T2B, 8 walking lunges (I think, sort of lost track of rounds).
I definitely did not feel all that great today. Clearly, not eating all day is not a good idea. I ate at 5:00 am, coffee/half a bagel with egg salad and then did not eat again until 7:30 pm. It was just a busy day and I ran out of time (also did not prepare something in advance).m,

12/20/2014

Rest Day!
I wasn't going to go to the gym but I was up at 6:00 am and figured might as well hit the open gym. I worked on skill/weaknesses (of which I have many ;).
Warmed up with a 1000m row, air squats, OHS with PVC pipe and banded walks.
Then did 5 rope climbs, worked on trying to use my legs more and speed. Afterwards, it was a slow "Annie" (50,40,30,20,10 Double Unders and sit ups) so I could work on my double unders. Lastly, I worked on Handstand Holds and starting to shift my weight from hand to hand. I am lucky we have many talented athletes at our gym that I can learn from and are willing to take the time to help me.

Power outage in the area so was unable to get my workout in. I did go to gymnastic class in the evening. I can't say enough great things about this class. It is hard work but I love that I can feel myself getting stronger. It has helped me with beginning to master pull ups, handstand push ups, rope climbs and dips. And great coaching tip from the one and only Suzy Albert!

Rest Day
In the gym to work on:
Double Unders, weighted pull ups and a bit of rowing to warm up.
Hit a gymnastics class, worked on:
Rope Climbs (surprised a few folks with my ability to effectively climb. Got there with lots of practice), Handstand Push ups (starting to be able to string together Kipping HSPUs) and tricep isolations.
Loving the gymnastic classes! They give me a chance to work on skills and weaknesses and at the same time to get stronger!

Finished the day with a gymnastics class. We worked on quads, gluts, abs and deltoids. I am really loving this class. Definitely has me working on my weaknesses and building muscular strength needed for Crossfit.

12/2/2104

Terrible Tuesday
Tuesday seem to be the most difficult for me. Today I realized that perhaps coaching in a cold box for an hour may be impacting my workout. Anyway here it is:
A. 6 x 1 Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk every minute (95#) still need work transition to push jerk.
B 3 x 5 Front Squat 95, 100, 105 (felt terrible, dropping my elbows/chest on last 2 reps)
C. EMOM 8 minutes, even = 3 Squat Clean Thrusters 85# (because thrusters weren't horrible enough;) , odd = 7 over the bar Burpees
D. 4 x 500m Row (ran out of time, was suppose to do 8. Also, pace was not 1:53 but more like 1:56).

Monday, December 1, 2014

A. 6 x 4 Power Snatch :20 work, begin set every 2:00 70#
Probably should have gone a bit heavier. Felt good, noticed toward the last set wasn't setting my lats/back. Last rep of the set should have been quicker.
B. 3 x 5 Back Squat 120# (tried 125 but got scared ?)
C. 3 x 2 Pull ups, 2 chest to bar (attempts), 2 pull ups
D. EMOM 3 HSPU (still a work in progress)
E. 4 x 35 double unders, 25 calorie Row, 15 box jump overs, 5 Wall Ball 20#
Times: 5:08, 4:43, 5:27, 5:28 (difference in times due to double unders, on fastest round did 20+ unbroken)
