Fight Gone Bad 5
results: 274* PR
The event was a success even though it was 100 degrees out. Lots of people showed up including my sister & a few of my friends, to show their support and it helped out big time. The heat got to me in the later rounds and it showed on the rower. My strategy was to skip the rower completely and just take that minute of rest. What I should have...

225# bench will be my starting point for linear progressions. I just have to remember all these #’s. 225# back squat, 335# deadlift, and now 225# bench.
I took the whole “positive self talk” idea and applied it once...

“The greatest adaptation to CrossFit takes place between the ears.” - Coach Glassman
Last night I watched this video from CrossFit Journal, that talks about positive self-talk and applied it to today’s WOD. Did it work? Did I push myself? ...

Following our Paleolithic ancestors, our Neolithic ancestors lost an average of six inches in height. Most people now have those last 5-10 pounds that seem impossible lose. The causes for both, surprisingly, may be the same.

On the minute for 10 minutes: 20 second hollow rock hold 5 HSPUs
results: 135# (power snatch)
One of the technical o-lift exercises I need to seriously practice on. The WOD itself was brutal due to shoulder fatigue. I was spent on the 2nd round. Real talk.

For a moment there I had double unders… then I lost it. George asked me, “What happened man?” My reply was, “Life happened man.” I need to keep my elbows in and just practice.
Congratulations to Meghann & Holly for doing their...

AMRAP in 20min of: 5 Toes to Bar 10 KB Goblet Squats 100m sprint
results: 11rds + 5 toes to bar + 10 kb goblet squats (2pood)
I felt good going into this WOD but what really messed me up was after the workout. I felt very tired and it seemed like it took me awhile to recover. It has to be my diet catching up with me or the fact that I usually don’t have...

WOD
5 rounds: 7 Ring Dips 21 Double Unders
results: 5:30 Rx’d
Yesterday’s workout killed my shoulders. It’s been tight all day. Randy is definitely better than shoulder shrugs.
I suck at double unders. I don’t think I got low enough on the dips. I need to practice those with the band just to get a feel for them.
Going back to sucking at double...

Back squats was in the WOD today but I did that last night. I’m doing linear progressions and I’m currently on 205#. As for my deadlift, I’m at 335#. I need to remember that so the next time I deadlift, I’ll go up 5lbs.
I had some coffee before class and I...

The air squat jump sucked the most since I had linear progression squats before the WOD. I’m up to 200# for my squats and I’ll be moving up tomorrow!
I started with an abmat and 45# bumper plate under me...

On the minute: Complete 5 pull-ups & 7 kettlebell swings on the minute for 15 minutes.
results: 1.5pood / 14 full rounds + 5 pull ups
In the beginning of the workout Jared had me do 3 burpees since I only had a 1.5pood. I’d say towards the middle of the workout it started to get difficult and so he cut the burpees out and I just completed the...
