Dirty Dozen

Tuesday, August 26;

A quick workout that kicked my butt. When I saw this one up on the board I thought it would take me forever. I was surprised at how quickly I went through it. I did the modified deadlifts as prescribed, but used the floss on my ring dips. Still not doing the workout as prescribed. Argh. Annoying!

Before I started doing Crossfit, I did 10 deadlifts as a warmup at 135. At the time it was my body weight. It would take me a good while to bang these suckers out. I'd do 3 or 4 and then put the bar down. Then I'd do 5 and then finish off the last 1 or 2. I have since dropped ten pounds and now I can do 12 deadlifts without stopping. I did the modified suckers each round without putting the bar down. I felt really good, but by the end I could feel my back rounding, and I could feel it getting tighter. My lower back is sore now, and it'll be worse by the morning.

Workout:
5 Rounds
12 Deadlifts: 135lb
9 Ring dips: floss (my lats still hurt from last Tuesday's ring dip workout. That's sad)
6 burpees
Total: 13:20

A decent time, but not nearly as fast as Chriss and with the modified ring dips. I liked today's workout though. I got a few good grunts in. It's nice to push myself to that point. It's a good stress releaver and I know Gar likes it.

Just kidding!!!
