Back in Action

Wednesday, July 15;

I've been busy at work and unable to update my blog for the past few days. I don't remember times and numbers for some of the workouts, but I want to post to keep up to date. I'll check on the times and update later.

WOD:
Clean & Jerk
max weight - 105lbs

I'm close to maxing out here, but I didn't go to failure. I'm still really weary about pushing really heavy weight overhead. I smiled to myself when I remembered the last time I put more than 100lbs overhead my shoulder popped out. There was none of that today, but it's hard to get over the fear of the possibility of dislocating. It's what's keeping me from going much heavier.

Finisher:
500 meter row
1:58

1 mile run

WOD:
5 rounds for time
15 pullups
30 pushups
45 abmat situps

Time: 23:20

Crazy high reps. I've never been so happy to do pullups in my life. 15 pullups is a piece of cake after doing 30 pushups. Pushups are still tough for me. It's hard to get much more than 10 in a row. I broke them up into sets of 5. It takes a while, but it doesn't give me crazy arm burn.

Kudos to Lynette who kept me going through this one. I can't tell if she secretly competitive or just an unassuming ninja. The mother of two who kicks my butt regularly. Whatever she is.. it's great!

Strength work and some fun..

WOD
Perfect form cleans
We worked Muscle cleans (which eliminates the diving underneath the bar, essentially there is no second bend in the clean similar to a push press as opposed to a push jerk). This move forces you to really use your hips to move weight. When it gets really heavy this move is super tough.

Power clean from floor - 115lb (This is my PR. I can't break above 115. I can't wait to hit 120lb.. then 125lb)

WOD II
7 rounds
7 pullups
14 jumping lunges
1 shuttle run

About 11 minutes

Friday, July 10;
"Filthy 50"
50 box jumps
50 KB swings (35lb)
50 jumping slamball (10lb)
50 pushups
50 Sledge Hammer Swings
50 Wall ball (14lb)
50 Abmat Situps
50 calorie row
50 burpees
50 doubleunders

Total: 36:??

This sucked. I sucked at this workout.
