Rest Day

No dice.

Day #82

WOD

On the minute complete:

5 burpees and max rep thrusters at 115#/80#.

The goal is to complete 75 thrusters.  Every minute on the minute complete 5 burpees and fill the rest of the minute with max rep thrusters.  When the next minute rolls around complete 5 burpees and max thrusters and so on until 75 thrusters are reached.

results: 16:?? 50 reps 115# 3 burpees

This workout is a scaled back version of Kalsu, which is 100 reps @135# and 5 burpees every minute on the minute.  It’s a CrossFit Football workout and everyone hated Zach and Jared after this.  The thrusters were a pain, but it’s all about popping it off your chest and then locking out rather than using your entire shoulders to do all the work.  This workout sucked bad.

Day #83

WOD

1 mile run
100 Box Jumps
100 Push-ups *You can break-up this workout however you like to complete all the reps (i.e. run 400m, do 25 box jumps then run etc…)results: 23:?? Rx’d

I didn’t get home til 3am last night due an unfortunate event at Red Rock.  I didn’t get to sleep til 5:30am and woke up at 10am to attend the O lift class.  I’d like to thank the creators of Endorush for getting me through the workout.  I focused on my front squat again and it’s looking a lot better.  I have to focus on not going so low to a point where I’ll lose power and round out my lumbar curve. 
So I used my ipod during the mile run and I paced myself thinking I’ll have enough energy to bang through the other two exercises.  What I should have done was break this workup out into sets of tens.  10 box jumps, then 10 push ups, etc..  Did I?  Nope.  I did straight 100 box jumps and straight 100 push ups.  The box jumps I got through okay, doing 10, then taking a breather, then 10, etc.  As for my strongest exercise, the push ups, I figured I’ll bang out 4 sets of 25.  That didn’t happen.  After doing the 1st set of 25, I was exhausted.  I ended up setting them in 10s and later in 5s.  My chest and arms were burning.  I need to make smart decisions and strategize better.  I also shouldn’t stay up all night partying. -.-
