WOD: 50-40-30-20-10 Pull ups and Sit ups

I scaled the pull ups to 25-20-15-10-5, but Rx'd the sit ups.
21:43

Todays workout was amazing, and such a boost for my confidence. When I first joined crossfit, I couldn't do that many consecutive pull ups with reaching for the band. Yesterday I did the worked (even though I scaled) without the use of any of the bands. I look forward to more gains in the future with Crossfit. The coaches there are excellent, and I am happy to have them. The people I work out with are great too, and I'm happy to see their gains as well.

WOD:
10-10-10-10-10
Front Squat

Todays workout was pretty intense. I ended up getting 95-115-135-155-160. Jen helped me out a lot. My stance was pretty messed up, but she got me going right. Good stuff.

WOD:
21-15-9
Squats (185lbs)
Push Jerk (95?)

The original WOD was "Elizabeth", but I couldn't to the clean and press because it aggravated an old injury. I took a week off last week to rest my back and let my hands heal, and I really felt it today. Taking a week off will definitely set you back a little, and I hope not to have to do that again. Good workout, though.

15 squats

9 rds

Warm up:
3 laps
3rds
10 push ups
10 pass thru's
10 sit ups
10 hip extensions

Todays workout was extra motivating. My first ever crossfit workout was "Cindy" and I barely did 3 rds before almost passing out. I did 9 rounds today, which is a 300% improvement. I love crossfit. My pull ups and push press were great, but I rested a lot, and my squat is slower than most. Great saturday workout!

080910

1 rep max Back Squat-245lbs
1 rep max Shoulder Press-185lbs

Warm up:
Row 5oom
Run 400m
2 rds
10 Pull ups

10 sit ups
10 back extensions

Todays workout was fun. The warm up was fun, and the work out was even better. I've never max'd any of those exercises, so I didn't know where I would be on any of them. Dan, Aaron and Brian helped me out with techniques. I plan on doing less weight with more reps to get my strength up so I can increase my max. Good times today...

WOD: "Fran"
21-15-9
Pull ups
Thrusters (50 lbs)

I did this exercise in 9:16. I feel I could've put more weight on the thrusters, because I threw it up pretty easily, but I'm still getting a feel for these new exercises. My pull up is what slowed me down the most. I think I've got a better hang of it now after Siddarth gave me a tip. Wish I would've had that tip before "Fran" lol.

Warm up:
800m Run
3 rounds
10 pushups
15 situps
10 pvc pull ups
10 OHS
Not in that order... I just forgot, lol.

It was a nice workout. "Fran" is definitely tough, and I look to be around 6 next time I do it. Eventually I want to be sub 5 minutes, and I think I can, definitely.

"Larry"

I named this blog Larry because I made up my own workout today. I wasn't able to go friday because I had plans, and when I woke up saturday, my roof and wall were leaking from the storm.... no bueno. So I went to golds today, and did my own routine.

Warmup
3 rds
5 pullups
10 pushups
15 back extensions

WOD
"Larry"
3 rds
15 dumbbell swings (35lbs)
25 situps
10 box jumps (gym step things, lol)

It was weird doing a crossfit workout at the gym. The last time I was at the gym I was doing my normal routine.... lift weights... rest... lift some more... rest. Pretty boring now that i have crossfit. I noticed some people looking at me doing the dumbbell swings, but I didn't care. Good workout.

WOD:
5 Rounds
15 x Medicine Ball Cleans (16 lbs)
15 x Thrusters (45 lbs)
25:55

Warm-up:
Berenger(*?) Warm-up

Learned the basics of Olympic lifting.. pretty nice.

The WOD was pretty intense. My back tightened up during the 3rd round, and I slowed a lot. I think once my back doesn't tighten up as much, I'll be able to complete these exercises a lot quicker. It was a nice workout, though... broke a nice sweat.

Not much else to write... Peeeeeeeace
