End of an Era

My CrossFit journey has been on a hiatus due to a new job opportunity that kicked off with 5 straight weeks of training (yes including Saturday and Sunday), consisting of 12 hours days except for a few office days and an hour to hour and a half drive to and from location.

I did a lot of awkward object carries (chixsans, 4" iron, 3" iron, plywood boards, etc).  I also spent a lot of time tightening and loosening wing nuts with an 8 pound hammer.

Despite all of this, I still felt my hard earned fitness slipping away.  The training period has come to an end and I will be starting a schedule with 14 days of work and 14 days off.  I will be challenged to make the world my box and get into a rhythm again.

Warm Up

WMCF Dynamic stretching, straight arm hang, kip swings

Chelsea

30 minute EMOM of

5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 air squats

I scaled this and started with 3/6/9 through round 16 and then switched to 2/4/6.  The volume was still staggering and ended up being around 75 pull-ups, 150 push-ups and 225 air squats.  I did a pretty good job connecting my kipping pull-ups and was able to do every round unbroken albeit scaled.

Cooled down on treadmill for 10 minutes and 5 minutes stretching

MU Progression, Karen

Friday, March 31, 2017

WMCF

Coach Ben - (8:00 AM) - Just 2 of us, me and a girl I didn't know

Warm Up

400m Run, WMCF Dynamic warm up

Muscle Up Progression

(1) Establish the False Grip
(2) Kipping Swing on Rings x 5-8 reps
(3) Hanging Hip Thrusts x 5-8 reps
(4) Standing Transition x 5-8 reps
(5) Seated Strict MU w/band x 3-5 reps

We had about 13 minutes for this and I got through the progression once and half way through a second time.  The false grip was tough for me and the bony part of my wrist is pretty torn up.  Kipping swings were tough as I did not feel confident in the false grip.  Hanging Hip Thrusts were OK, but I only did 2 reps each time.  Standing transitions were done by starting in a dip position and walking hands back tracing chest and then forward back to a dip position.  Seated Strict MU were really hard as well and I only did a couple of reps.

Karen

150 Wall Ball Shots 20# ball to 10' target

This was athlete's choice day and rather than repeating a workout or trying a Hero workout, I decided to do a girl workout and arbitrarily selected a 15 min cap.  The first 25 were easy compared to the last 25.  I quickly went from 10 reps per set to 4 reps per set.  I maintained good depth and was solid on hitting the 10' target as well.  Final score was 14:16

DU, KBS, T2B

Thursday, March 30, 2017

WMCF

Coach Sol - (8 AM) - Just Brian and Me

Warm Up

400m Run and WMCF dynamic warm up

Metcon

4 Rounds for time of

30 Double Unders
20 KBS (44#, Rx was 70#)
10 T2B

11 minute time cap

I did really good on the first round, but then started missing double unders.  I was capped on the last round with 8 double unders completed.  Final score 11:52.  I could break the KBS into 2 sets of 10, but was doing singles on the T2B.

Back Squat

20 reps unbroken
suggested 60% of 1RM (110#), I used 95# instead and was able to complete the 20 reps

200m Plate Pinch Run

Rx was 35#, I used 25#

2017 CrossFit Open Retrospective

Well the 2017 Open has come to a close and I was excited to complete all 5 workouts.

17.1 - Rx - 50# DB Snatches 24" Box Over Burpees

17.2 - Scaled - 2x 35# DB Walking Lunges, Hanging Knee Raises/Pull-ups, 2x DB Power Cleans (Rx used 50# DB, T2B and Bar Muscle-ups and I could not safely manage the weight on the walking lunges)

17.3 - Scaled - Jumping Chin Over Bar Pull-ups, Squat Snatch Ladder - 45#, 75# ... (Rx did Chest to Bar Pull-ups, but the Squat Snatches started at 95#, over my 1 RM)

17.4 - Scaled - 55 DL at 135#, 55 Wall Ball Shots 20# to 9' target, 55 Calorie Row, 55 Hand Release Push-ups (Rx used 225#, 10' target and HSPU, I could have gotten some reps at 225#, but this represented 75% of my 1RM)

17.5 - Scaled - 10 rounds of 9 Thrusters at 65# and 35 Rope Skips (Rx used 95# and Double Unders, the thrusters would have been heavy for me and I would have quickly been reduced to singles on the Double Unders, I would have been time capped at 40 minutes)

Aside from 17.2, I could have gotten at least 1 rep on each of the workouts, but would have been operating close to my physical limits.

Overall, I was 11,164 / 13,373 (17th percentile) males 45-49 and 180,522 / 201,948 males overall (11th percentile).  I am pretty comfortable with this and would still like to work towards the 25th percentile of my age group.

I need to work on weighted lunges, squat snatches, and thrusters at 95# for high reps.  I feel like I made good progress on deadlifts and double unders.

I really enjoyed doing the events at West Metro CrossFit, but wish I could have participated in Friday Night Lights.

Heaving Snatch Balance

Tuesday, March 28, 2017

WMCF

Coach Soloman (8:00 AM) - 4 of us, Erin, Nate, Meredith and me

Warm Up

400m Run, Spider-Man stretch, Push-ups, Squats, Lunges

Snatch Balance technique, think about keeping shoulders away from ears, elbows pointed down the whole time, armpits forward

Heaving Snatch Balance

8 rounds of 1 heaving snatch balance and 3 OH Squats E3OM, increase weight as able

I did 4 rounds at 45#, then 2 rounds at 55# and finally 2 rounds at 65#.  It felt pretty good, but I was not dropping into a full squat.  I need to work on mobility.

Metcon

3 rounds for time of

10 Axle Bar Deadlift
300 m Run

Rx was 225#, I used 160# (20# axle bar, 2x45# and 2x25#).  I was able to do the deadlifts in sets of 5 and 5 which was not too taxing on the grip.  I ended up finishing in 8:25.

Air Squats, pass throughs, triceps smash, thrusters, rope skips, drills, doubles (22 unbroken)

17.5 (s)

10 rounds of

9 Thrusters (65#)
35 Rope Skips

I kept a much better pace and felt confident with the workout.  I finished in 14:29, much faster than my test run on Friday.

I finished with 3 bar pull-ups, 3 ring pull-ups and 6 legless rope climbs (did not get all the way to the top, but did get pretty close).

17.5 (s) Unofficial

10 Rounds of:

9 Thrusters (65#)
35 Rope Skips

Rx was 95# thrusters and double unders

I finished in around 17 minutes, splitting the thrusters up into sets of 5 and 4 and taking 10-15 second transitions between rounds.

Cooled down walking on treadmill for 5 minutes then

Split Jerk

Wednesday, March 22, 2017

WMCF

Coach Soloman - (9 AM) - 7 of us including Brian, Erin, Chris and me

Warm Up

Jump rope with braided rope followed by WMCF Dynamic Warm up

SWOD
2x Split Jerk from behind the neck  Every 2 minutes for 10 rounds

This felt good, but it was unnerving to lower the bar back to behind the neck.  It was also tough to just drop it to behind the neck.  This certainly taxed my shoulders.

I used

45
55
65
75
85
95
95
105
105
105#

for the 10 sets

Metcon

9 min AMRAP of 10m Plate OH Walking Lunges (45#) and 6 Power Snatch (155#).

I scaled this workout to use a 25# plate and 75# Power Snatch and it was still a tough workout.  I managed to get through 3 full rounds, the walking lunges (4 points) and 4 Power Snatches for a total of 38.

Cooling down we did some Double Dutch jump roping and I was thrilled to get in and get a half dozen repts.

HSPU, Thrusters

Monday, March 20, 2017

WMCF

Coach Sol - (9 AM) - 8 of us, but only 5 doing WOD, rest were doing 17.4

Warm Up

400m Run, WMCF dynamic warm up

SWOD

5 rounds for time of

7 HSPU
30 seconds L hang
1 minute rest

I did the HSPU with my feet piked on a 24" box.  I still had to break them up into sets of 4, then 3 reps.  I just did hanging knee raise and by the 3rd round, I could barely manage 10-15 seconds before resting and resetting

WOD

7 minute cap to perform

21 Thrusters (95#)
30 DU
15 Thrusters
30 DU
9 Thrusters
30 DU

I did 65# thrusters and had to break up the sets.  I got 10 reps unbroken and then was doing sets of 5.  I did not have my double unders today and did 60 single unders each round.  I was capped on my last set of jump rope at 46 reps.  With the time penalty, my score was 7:07.

Cash Out

17.4 Deadlift, Wall Ball, Row

Friday, March 17, 2017

West Metro CrossFit

Coach Sol - (9:00 AM) - 5 of us including, Ben, Chris, Meghan, Christy and me

Warm Up

400m Run, WMCF dynamic warm-up, deadlift technique

17.4

13 minute AMRAP

55 Deadlift (225 Rx, 135 Sc)
55 Wall Ball Shots (20# ball, 10' Rx, 9' Sc)
55 Calorie Row
55 HSPU or Hand Release Push-ups

I ended up doing this one scaled and got 162 reps.  I finished the deadlift in 3:58 and the wall ball shots in 8:54.  I thought I was on track to finish the row, but did not have it in me, coming up 3 calories short.  I am very pleased with the effort.

17.4 is a repeat of 16.4.  Last year I did finish the row.  I finished the deadlifts at 3:30, and the wall ball shots at 8:36, and just got the calories at 12:56.  Consider that I trained on my own for the majority of last year, dropping off a few calories is not too shabby.

Squat Clean

Monday, March 13, 2017

WMCF

Coach Soloman - (12:00 PM) - 5 of us including Dillon and Adan

Warm Up

400m Run, WMCF dynamic warm-up

SWOD

30 Squat Cleans - 8 minute time cap

I opted for 75# and this turned out to be the right weight.  I started with 5 in succession, then doubles, then singles.  I finished in 6:09 and felt pretty good about the effort.  Rx was 155#.

MetCon

10 minute EMOM of

2 Power Cleans (95#, touch and go)
8 Box Jumps (24")

Rx was 30" box jumps and a heavy weight.  I might have had 115# in me, but even the 24" box jumps got tough.  I finished the first 3 rounds with about 5 seconds rest and was quickly in a deficit.  I did finish the workout, completing the last 4 box jumps after time was called.

Cash Out

Strict Pull-ups 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 with same quantity of deep breaths between sets.

I was doing OK on the first 3 sets, but then broke up the sets of 4 and entirely skipped the set of 5.

Friday, March 10, 2017

WMCF

Coach Soloman - (9:00 AM) - 4 of us including Chris (who went Rx)

Warm Up

400m Run, WMCF Dynamic Warm-up, pass throughs, Squat Snatch Warm-up

17.3

scaled

3 Rounds of 6 jumping chin over bar pull-ups, 6 squat snatch (45#)
3 Rounds of 7 jumping chin over bar pull-ups, 5 squat snatch (75#)
8 minute cap with time bonus to complete squat snatches at 95-115-135-155
Rx was C2B and snatch at 95-135-185-225-245-265#

I knew this would be tough and I paced accordingly.  My 1RM is 65# so I did not know what to expect.

I finished the first set of 3 rounds in 4:29, then knocked out the 7 pull-ups.  I missed my first attempt at 75#, then slowed down and got 3 reps with long breaks in between before the time cap.

Total Reps = 46

If I consider redoing this one, I could probably grab 6 C2B for an Rx score.

Snatch Hook Grip Deadlift

Thursday, March 9, 2017

WMCF

Coach Soloman - (9:00 AM) - 3 of us including Judy and me

Warm Up

400m Run and WMCF dynamic warm-up

SWOD

Every 90 seconds for 12 minutes (8 sets):
Snatch Grip "Hook Grip" Deadlift x 3 reps
- work on your grip here, reps should be touch and go
- increase load as possible

This was definitely grip taxing.  I used
135-145-155-165-175-180-185-190# for the 8 sets.

WOD

Complete as many reps as possible in 10 minutes of Double Unders
EMOM - Odd 5 burpees, Even 5 wall ball shots (20#)

The workout started 3, 2, 1, go and then 5 burpees and then as many double unders as possible before minute 1 was up.  I got 18 on the first round and progressively fewer every round.  On the last round after the 5 wall ball shots, I only got 3 reps and could not link anything together.  Total reps was 78.  I felt like my form was really good on the burpees and wall ball shots.

Finish with Iron Scapula -

Archer
Pullback
WY Negative
Tiger Walk
Bear Hug
Snow Angel
ATYT

I dropped off the prescribed reps as the sets wore on.

Front Squats

Monday, March 6, 2017

WMCF

Coach Ben - (9:00 AM) - 11 of us including Erin and me

Warm Up

400m Run, WMCF Dynamic Warm Up

Front Squat

Build to weight then:

SWOD

5 sets of:

Front Squat x 3 reps @ 23X2
– all sets should be performed at the same heavy load
– rest 2 minutes between sets

I was still feeling the hamstrings so I opted to go pretty light on this.  I did the first 2 sets at 95# and then went up to 115# for the last 3 sets.  The hamstrings did fine.

23X2 = 2 seconds lower-3 seconds hold at bottom-X as fast as possible up-2 seconds hold at top

WOD

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
50 Double Unders
10 Thrusters (105/70)
20 Push Ups

This was my first time trying double unders in a WOD.  I was able to do them all (counting my attempts also).  True double unders were around 40 per round.  I did string together around 10 several times.  I used 65# for the thrusters and still had to break them up on the second and third rounds.  The Push ups were as bad as expected and I usually started with 3-4 before doing double and then singles.  I finished with 3 rounds + 5 reps.

Saturday, March 4, 2017

17.2 - Walking Lunges, Hanging Knee Raise/Pull-ups, Power Cleans

Friday, March 3, 2017

West Metro CrossFit

Coach Steph Smith - (12:00 PM) - Dillon and me

Warm Up

400m Run, deep squat, Reverse Lunge/Frankenstein, Pass throughs, Crossover Symmetry, Muscle-up progression

17.2

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:

2 rounds of:
50-ft. weighted walking lunge
16 toes-to-bars (scale with hanging knee raises)
8 power cleans

Then, 2 rounds of:
50-ft. weighted walking lunge
16 bar muscle-ups (scale with chin over bar pull-ups)
8 power cleans

Etc., alternating between toes-to-bars and bar muscle-ups every 2 rounds.

Men use 50-lb. dumbbells (scale with 35# dumbbells)
Women use 35-lb dumbbells

Arriving at the gym, I had every intention of doing this work out Rx, getting 78 reps and then struggling to land a bar muscle up.  After hoisting the 50# dumbbells to the front rack position and taking one step, those delusions of grandeur were out the window.  I quickly grabbed the 35# dumbbells and waited for 3.. 2.. 1.. GO!

The first 25 feet were OK, but I was hesitant and taking smaller steps than I should have been.  I set the db down and reset for the next 25 feet.  The hanging knee raises were fine and I broke those into sets of 4.  The power cleans were pretty wonky as well, I did 4 reps, 3 reps and the final rep before starting the next round of walking lunges.  Round 2 was the same as Round 1.  Round 3 was actually proceeding a little better.  Getting on the bar for the chin ups was tougher than I thought.  My hands were getting lit and I did singles for the chin over bar pull-ups.  When I reached down to grab the db for the power cleans, I felt my right hamstring tighten.  I did 1 power clean, looked at 10:45 on the clock and nearly bagged the workout right there.  I stretched it for about 20 seconds and then returned to my db.  I finished the round at 11:50 and opted to let the clock tick down.  My final score was 102 reps with an 11:50 tie breaker.

Similar to 16.1, the walking lunges got me again.  I think I could have met the standard for T2B, but I was not making it across the floor with essentially 100# walking lunges.  It was still a really good workout.  Steph gave me some great tips on bar muscle ups and I will be working on my lever, using my knees and trying to keep my weight underneath me rather than my legs flying forwards.

Squat Snatch

Wednesday, March 1, 2017

West Metro CrossFit

Coach Soloman - (9:00 AM) - 5 of us

Warm Up

400m Run and WMCF Dynamic warm up (added duck walks)

Squat Snatch

18 Squat Snatches every 70 seconds

After technique demo and building up weight.

I used 65# and only missed 1 rep getting very close to parallel every time.  The recovery time was sufficient, but it was tough to get stable under the bar.

MetCon

5 Rounds for time

5 Hang Squat Snatch (55#/45#)
10 Burpees

7 minute cap

I used 55# for the first 2 rounds and then went to 45# for the next rounds.  Rx was 115# for men.

I looked up at the clock and saw 1:30 after the first round and knew it would be tough to finish.  I got through 4 burpees on the 4th round for a time penalty of 21 seconds.

7:21

Finished with couch stretch and proud pigeon

Warm Up

400m Run, WMCF dynamic warm up

SWOD
Gymnastics Skills

1) Spend about 3-5 minutes working on:
Muscle Up progressions (Kipping Swings on the rings, warm up a few ring dips, get some Pull Ups in)

or

Kipping Pull Up Progressions (Superman/Hollow Holds and Flips, Kipping Swings on bar, Pull-in/Push-out)

I did the pull-up progression

2) Handstand Push Up Progression
Go as far through the following progression as possible 2 times. Do not move to the next step unless the highest rep in the range can be completed.

~ 5-10 Piked Push Ups on ground
~ 5-10 Piked Push Ups from a box
~ 5-10 Handstand Push Ups (modify with up to an ABMAT with a 25# plate underneath)

I could do the piked push-ups on ground, but only 4 piked push-ups from a box

WOD
“King Kong”

3 Rounds for time of (10 min cap):
1 Deadlift (455/315)
2 Muscle Ups
3 Squat Cleans (250/170)
4 Handstand Push Ups

Like most folks, I had to scale
Deadlift (245#)
Muscle Up (sub C2B and ring dip)
Squat Cleans (95#)
HSPU (piked push-ups from a box)

I still managed to finish in 8:18 which I felt pretty good about.  The deadlifts felt better than I expected.  Even with 2 abmats, I could not do a HSPU.

Shoes

My Nanos are on their last leg.  The laces are starting to fray and they have developed an annoying stink.  To that end, I tried some new shoes.

Reebok Nano 7 (size 9.5)

Nike Metcon 3 (size 9.5)

The Nano has a more generous toe box and is a little beefier, but without much of a weight penalty.  The Metcon was more comfortable, but overall, I could not find a significant advantage of one over the other.

17.1 DB Snatch - Burpee Box Jump Over

Friday, February 24, 2017

West Metro CrossFit

Coach Soloman - (9:00 AM) - Grant, Chris and me

Warm Up

8 minute AMRAP
100m Row
10 Spiderman
5 Push-ups
10 Lunge with twist
5 Jumping Squats
10 Pass throughs

I got through 2 easy rounds

Workout 17.1

For time:
10 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee box jump-overs
20 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee box jump-overs
30 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee box jump-overs
40 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee box jump-overs
50 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee box jump-overs

Rx – (50/35) (24″/20″)
Scaled – (35/20) (20″ – Step Ups OK)

I went Rx and got through 3 rounds plus 24 DB snatches for a total of 129 or CAP + 96 reps, depending on scoring.  I thought I paced really well and was never out of the fight or risking poor form on the snatches.  I stumbled on 1 box jump, but recovered quickly.  Overall, I thought it was a really good workout.  I did wear calf sleeves and wrist wraps.

My tie breaker splits were:

Round 1:   3:26
Round 2:   8:43
Round 3:  16:15

Chris finished the workout in 18:xx and Grant was on Round 5 of the DB snatches when time was called.

I really liked this workout as it tested the engine, but done at manageable weights.  If it had been 90# DB snatches and 30" box jumps, I would have had to scale.

KB Swing - Shuttle Run

Wednesday, February 22, 2017

West Metro CrossFit

Coach Soloman - (9:00 AM) - 5 of us including Erin and Chris

Warm Up

WMCF dynamic warm-up (no bear crawls), Burpees to Thunderstruck, then Deadlift technique

SWOD

3 sets of:
Deadlift x 6-8 reps @ 20X2
rest 90 seconds
Ring Dips x 15 reps
rest 90 seconds

I worked up to 185# and could get 6 reps on the 2 seconds to lower, touch and go, fast up and hold 2 seconds at the top cadence.  For the ring dips, I substituted ring lowers.

WOD

15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for time of (12 min cap):
KB Swing (55/35)
1 Shuttle Run*
*Shuttle Run = 5m, 10m, and 15m down and back

I used a 35# KB and only got through the round of 5 swings and 5m down and back on the run.  With the time penalty, my score was 12:38.  This was a pretty tough little WOD.  I felt like I kept good form on the KBS, but I was really dogging it on the shuttle runs.

Power Clean

Monday, February 20, 2017

West Metro CrossFit

Coach Ben - (9:00 AM) - about 12 of us

Warm Up

400m Run, WMCF dynamic warm-up

Power Clean

Build to heavy-ish single.  I started with 75# and then moved up to 95# and finally 125#.  I considered going to 135#, but I was struggling to get under the bar.

WOD

Every minute on the minute for 24 minutes (12 sets each):
Odd – Power Clean x 2 reps @ weight from above
Even – Run 200m

This got really tough.  The power cleans were OK, but I was just getting in the door with 3 to 4 seconds to spare on each 200m run.  I felt like I was not warmed up enough.  My runs got smoother and so did my power cleans, but it was nevertheless exhausting.  Coach Ben offered me the option to do 100m runs, but I decided to stick it out.

Wednesday, February 15, 2017

Front Squat

Wednesday, February 15, 2017

West Metro CrossFit

Coach Soloman - (9:00 AM) - about 8 of us including Brian, Erin and me

Warm Up

400m run and WMCF warm up

SWOD

15 minutes to work up to a heavy single Front Squat for the day

Start with shoulder openers, 45#, 95#, 115# and then worked up with singles 135#, 155# and finally 175#.  Got an education on belts.  Coach Sol's philosophy is to not use belt for support but tactile feedback for bracing torso.

WOD

5 rounds for time of (7 min cap):
3 Front Squats @ 85% of today’s heavy single
3 Box Jump (30″/24″)
10m DB Bear Crawl (40’s/25’s)

I used 150# for the front squats, 24" box and 35# for the bear crawl.  I was capped at 3 rounds + 2 front squats.  Each missed rep was a 1 second penalty.  A full round is 8 reps (1 rep for each 5m of Bear Crawl).  Total time 7:14

CASH OUT

4 rounds not for time of:
5 Strict Chin Ups
5 Strict Ring Dips
5 Rotator Scarecrows – no more than 10#’s

I did standard pull-ups instead of chin ups and Ring lowers for the last 3 rounds.  The rotator scarecrows were interesting.  I used 5# and would have been better off using 2.5#

Deadlift-Box Jump-Wall Ball-Burpees

Tuesday, February 14, 2017

West Metro CrossFit

Coach Soloman - (9 AM) - Felecia, Mark, 2 others and me

Warm Up

400m run then WMCF Warm Up (Spiderman, Heel Pull, Knee to Chest, Foot to Butt, Frankenstein, High Knees, Karaoke, Bear Crawl)

Snatch Technique

WOD

In teams of 2…

In 10 minutes complete:
30 Alternating Snatches (135/95)

then, AMRAP of:
10 Deadlift (185/125)
10 Box Jumps (24″/20″)

*Alternate complete rounds. Non-working partner does a KB/DB Goblet Squat hold (35) in bottom position. KB/DB must be handed off between partners, if it touches the ground both partners perform a 3 Burpee penalty.

rest 5 minutes, then…

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
2-4-6-8-10-12-etc
Wall Ball Shots (20/14)
Burpees

*P1 does 2 Wall Ball Shots, both partners do 2 Burpees, P2 does 2 Wall Ball Shots, both patners do 2 Burpees, P1 does 4 Wall Ball Shots, both partners do 4 Burpees, P2 does 4 Wall Ball Shots, both partners do 4 Burpees, etc…

I was in a team of 3 and used 75# for my snatches.  That felt pretty good and I only had to do 10 instead of 15 in a team of 2.  We each got 1 round of 10 deadlifts and 10 box jumps.  I used 135# for the deadlifts.

The I used 14# for the round of 2 and then 20# for the round of 4 and 6.  We were not as crisp as the other team so the burpees were not overwhelming.  We all finished the round of 6 and started the round of 8.

Good workout.  It would have been much tougher in a team of 2 equally fit people.

Thursday, February 9, 2017

West Metro CrossFit

Coach Soloman - (9:00 AM) 12 of us including Adan, Dillon, Erin, Vanessa and me

Warm Up

800 m run
Spiderman down floor
Toe pull down floor
Knee to chest-Heel to Butt
Frankenstein
Bear crawl forwards-backwards
Skipping high knees down and back
Karaoke down and back

West Metro CrossFit Chipper

In teams of 2-3, with only 1 partner working at a time, complete the following for time:

100 Sit Ups
90 Lunges
80 Push Ups
70 Box Jumps (24″/20″)
60 Pull Ups
50 Jump Squats
40 Wall Ball Shots (20/14)
30 Floor Wipers (95/65)
20 Ring Dips
800m Run together

I paired up with Dillon and surprisingly he did more of the reps.  Everything was going pretty well until the wall ball shots.  Even trading off every 5 reps got to be a grind.  The Floor wipers were new and consist of being flat on the floor holding a barbell and using core strength to tap one bumper sweep floor and tap alternate bumper for 1 rep.  Everything was Rx except for the ring dips.  I had to use a band for the ring dips.  Overall we finished in 28:41 which was a pretty good clip.  As a solo workout, this would have taken me probably double that.

1 minute burpees
1 minute box jumps (24")
1 minute rest

This was a tough workout.  As a team we got 544.  My partners were averaging over 20 reps for burpees and box jumps, I was struggling between 17 and 19 reps.  I could manage 8-9 burpees and then 9 or 10 box jumps.  Rowing we did well, averaging around 40 calories for the 3 minutes.  I wasn't tracking my numbers independently, but was averaging around 1000 calories/hour.

Coach Soloman (9:00 AM) 12 of us.  I partnered with Adan

Warm Up

400m run then spider across floor, high kicks, pull leg up, grab leg back, individual hamstring stretches, bear crawl forward/backward

With medicine ball toss and do med ball squat, torso twists handing ball to partner, toss and do a burpee

Partner Cindy

20 minute AMRAP

Partner 1:  400m Run
Partner 2:  5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 air squats

Tag in and pick up where partner left off.

Either I was running slow or Adan was moving on Cindy, because he was always getting more reps than me.  We finished with 12 rounds + 23 reps.  I think I got 5-6 of those rounds.

Finish with some stretching, mobility on our own.

West Metro CrossFit is a well organized facility with 3 GHD, weightlifting platforms, rig, 6 rowers and of course plenty of barbells and plates.  They also have a bunch of rings and rope climbs so that a full class could be working out together.  9 AM is usually a small class, but all classes are free this week and they are also running a Groupon.  One new person like myself and some occasional folks in addition to 8 regulars.

Warm Up

Jump rope - singles, drills, doubles (not going well today)

WOD prep - box jumps, front squat - 45#, 95# row for a minute

5 rounds of 3 minutes to complete

10 Front Squats 185# - scaled to 95#
10 Box Jumps 36" - scaled to 24"
Row for max calories

Rest 3 minutes between rounds

This was an interesting workout that I scaled appropriately.  I could do the squats without racking the bar.  I finished each round of squats in around 40 seconds.  The box jumps were really tough after the front squats and I was typically left with around a minute to row for calories.  I ended up with 15, 14, 12, 12, and 11 calories for the 5 rounds.  3 minutes was the right amount of rest.

Finished with mobility - wall squat, couch stretch

Warm Up

Jump Rope - 8 min, singles, drills, doubles (5 rounds of 10), air squats, down dog, up dog

Squats

EMOM 6 rounds of

4 Front Squats
8 Back Squats

Goal weight was 60% of 1RM.  I conservatively went with 95# and this was still a tough couplet.  I could typically get the sets done in 15 to 30 seconds and had a chance to catch my breath between sets.

Metcon

40 Plate Ground to Overhead (GTO)
30 Double Unders
20 Burpee Bar Muscle Up
30 Double Unders
40 GTO

Rx was 45# plate.  I used a 25# plate, subbed 2x single unders and did jumping chest to bar pull-ups instead of bar muscle ups.  It still took me 11:24 (versus 15 minute cap).  I was moving pretty quick through the whole thing.  The jump rope was not bad, the GTO and Burpee Jumping Chest to Bar sucked.

100m sprint
19 KB Swings (2 pood)
10 Burpee Box Jump Overs (24")

I scaled this to a 30# KB and and 18" box and while a good hustle, sprint would be a stretch.

I finished the first round in 3 minutes and took a 3 minute rest and then just started going on the 6 minute mark although I finished rounds between 2:55 and 3:15.  My overall time was 39:15 and I was very pleased with that as my original plan to only do 5 rounds was canceled and I did all 7.

Tru Fit is a nice club, with a lot of space and some fun equipment.  DB go to 130#.  They don't have a rack for CrossFit bar movements.  I still need to check out the Olympic lifting area, which is much smaller than at Aspire.  I still don't care for the front desk staff.  Hard sell and too much rigmarole to get a trial workout in.

3 Rounds of DT (12 deadlift, 9 hang power clean, 6 push jerks)

This turned into a very long workout.  The row took me around 4:30 and the the 5 rounds of Cindy were clicking along at about 2 minutes each.  The DT rounds are what broke me.  I broke the deadlifts into 5-5-2, the hang power cleans into 3 sets and the push jerks into 2 sets.  Overall time was 24:51.
