WOD - 090216

7 rounds for time:
10 SDHP (95# rx, I scaled to 75#)
10 ring dips (I sub'd bar dips)
for time

time: 14:30

Dips were limiting factor. My pressing strength needs lots of work.
Compare to 080909. Time is much better, though I did ring dips last time.

WOD - 090214

"Fran"
21-15-9
Thrusters (95# - scaled to 75#)
Pull-ups
for time

time: 7:56 (PR w/75#)

Compare to past Frans. Bumped weight from 65# (last time) to 75#, and my time was within 30 secs (just under 8min this time), so calling this a PR. Met-con was biggest issue as usual (chest felt like it was going to explode, and I was dizzy most of the second and third rounds). Strength is getting better, as 75# wasn't bad and pull-ups weren't either.

Recorded a video for form check (most reps look legit):

WOD - 090210

Deadlift
1-1-1-1-1-1-1

185-205-215-235-245-255-265(PR)-275(fail)

Felt good, so went for one more after 265 (a PR). Got 275 off the ground, but couldn't complete the rep.

WOD - 090209

"Cindy"
As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of the following:
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats

Rounds: 11+5 pull-ups+10 push-ups

I thought I'd get at least 15, but this was harder than I thought. Push-ups are the limiting factor.

WOD - 090205

Five rounds for time of:

2 pood Kettlebell swings, 25 reps (sub'd 35# dumbbell)
25 GHD Sit-ups (sub'd abmat sit-ups)
25 Back Extensions (sub'd superman)
25 Knees to Elbows

time: 32:30

Grip suffered trying to swing the dumbbell like a kettlebell. Also, knees to elbows were tough, and form and range of motion really suffered at the end.

WOD - 090203

Back Squat
5-5-5-5-5

95-135-155-165-175

Last two reps of last two sets were tough, so I think 175 is close to my 5 rep max. Will shoot for 185+ next time. Recorded a vid to check my depth:

WOD - 090202

30 muscle-ups for time

If you can't do a muscle-up, sub 120 pull-ups and 120 dips.

Time: 24:13

I can't do a muscle-up, so I sub'd the 120 pull-ups and dips. I did bar dips, as my shoulder is still sore (I think from bursitis). Did sets of 3, alternating movements, 40 times. Pull-ups were no problem. Dips were hard, but not too hard. Rested 5-10 secs between each set. Foam roller angels afterward to loosen shoulder.
