WOD - 091106

4 Rounds for Time:
20 overhead lunges (25# plate)
10 burpees
10 deadlifts (135#)

time: 16:11

Made this one up. Not easy, but not super challenging either.. Should have gone 5 rounds. Could have gone heavier on deadlifts and added more burpees.

WOD - 091103

"Helen"

3 rounds for time:
400m run
21 kb swings (35# db)
12 pull-ups

time: 14:10

Felt good. Can probably increase kb weight next time. Could probably push a little harder also.

I've missed recording several workouts over the last few weeks. Among those I failed to record:

4 rounds for time:
10 SDHP (65#)
10 dips (alternated bar and rings)
10 double unders

time: 12:something

Baseline:
500m row
40 squats
30 sit-ups
20 push-ups
10 pull-ups

time: 14:something (completely fell apart after the row; didn't eat enough prior to workout; felt like I was going to pass out, and had to sit for several minutes to recover)

WOD - 091709

4 rounds for time of:
10 renegade rows (12# dbs)
30 sit-ups (abmat)
400m run

time: 20:01

Felt a lot better than I expected. I don't know if it has more to do with being on Paleo for 3 days, or the cooler weather, but I felt great, though my time isn't great. Splits were 4:21, 4:53, 5:27, and 5:20.

WOD - 090203

"Cindy"

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

Total rounds completed: 8

Compare to 090604. Ugh, very bad. Push ups very weak (more so than I can remember) . Triceps were shaking after the second round, and had to break up into sets of 3 or 2 for remaining rounds. A real struggle. Generally felt weak.

C2 - 090901

More "get acquinted with the rower" workout progression (with some modifications), from C2.

4x4min (3min recovery). Aiming for 22-24spm @ 130Watts

1: 130W @ 23 spm (warm up)
2: 131W @ 23spm
3: 130W @ 22spm
4: 132W @ 22 spm

total distance: 3456m

This felt harder and more anaerobic. May need to decrease damper setting (currently at 5).

C2 - 090831

First workout on the C2. Following their "get acquinted with the rower" workout progression (with some modifications).

4x4min (3min recovery). Aiming for 20-22spm @ 130Watts

1: 85W @ 20 spm (warm up)
2: 131W @ 20spm
3: 129W @ 22spm
4: 141W @ 21 spm

total distance: 3420m

Found it a little challenging to pull 130W at only 20-22spm. Still, good intro to the rower.

WOD - 090722

10 deadlift (155#)
20 sit-ups
400m run

4 rounds for time

time: 19:02

Really slow. Gassed during deadlifts in round 2 and sufferred through the rest. Ugh.

Walking Lunge 100 ft.
6 Double Unders
6 Sit-ups

time: 19:20

Compare to 090614. Slower by a couple of minutes. Heat was a factor (so was eating crap for a week with no workouts). Double unders were good, though.

WOD - 090707

21-18-15-12-9-6-3 rep rounds of:

185 pound front squat [sub'd 95#]
GHD sit-up [sub'd abmat sit-ups]

time: 25:something

Brutal. Absolutely brutal. Was lucky to finish. Started with 115# and dropped to 95# halfway through the first set when it was apparent the weight was too high. This was much harder than I thought it would be. Front squat form was mostly decent though my wrists were hurting at the end, probably indicating that the weight was moving forward and my elbows/chest weren't high.

WOD - 090702

10 deadlift (used 155#)
10 burpees
5 rounds for time

time: 9:58

Compare to 090507 and 081217. Almost hit my PR on this one. Should have pushed harder. Deadlifts felt heavy after so much lower body work earlier this week. Glutes, quads, and hams really sore.
