WOD - 090616

"Annie"
50-40-30-20-10
double unders
sit-ups

time: 17:23

Did this one as rx'd. Doubles were slow but steady. Sit-ups pretty steady also (unanchored using abmat). Compare to 080926 (slower this time, but did mostly singles last time).

Original WOD as written had pull-ups instead of double unders (I sub'd because my shoulder is still healing). Did this one in the heat of the day, and mowed the yard right before. Felt awesome. Semi-breakthrough on double unders, as I was able to keep a good rhythm on the last several sets; was able to keep a consistent rhythm of one-single/one double, which isn't perfect but is far better than no consistency. Also, feel like I have the quick wrist movement down pretty well for double unders now.

WOD - 090611

Back Squat 5-5-5-5-5 [115-115-115-115-115]


followed by


Back Squat 1-1-1-1-1 [started with 115, ended with 200]


Compare to 090203. Worked out with a friend who hadn't done back squats before, so we took it easy. Could have gone heavier, but this was a good start since it's been a while since going heavy.


Also, saw doctor for shoulder pain, and he diagnosed shoulder impingement. Watched this video which was really helpful. My posture is bad and needs lots of improvement. Made appointment with Mike at Tillman PT for Monday. Looking forward to finding out how I can keep crossfitting while the shoulder heals.

WOD - 090609

Five rounds for time of:

75 pound Thrusters, 21 reps [sub'd 45# bar and 20# dumbbells, alternating each round]
21 Double-unders [sub'd 42 single unders]

time: 17:06

Thrusters were tough, even at 45#. Shoulder really hurt during and after. Dumbbell thrusters were a little harder though weight was lighter. Broke into sets of 5 for last three rounds. Did a few double unders the first round, but completely gassed so went to singles for the rest. Should have done doubles, as singles were too easy and felt like rest.

WOD - 090607

"Helen"

Three rounds for time:

Run 400 meters [sub'd run around our block, ~380m]
1 1/2 pood Kettlebell x 21 swings [sub'd 20# kb, it's what we have]
12 Pull-ups [rx'd]

time: 11:27

Run was slow, needs work. KB swings were unbroken and too easy (need a heavier kb or to sub dumbbells). Pull-ups were 6-6, 4-4-4, 2-2-2-2-2-2. Really freakin hot outside.

WOD - 090604

"Cindy"

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

Total rounds completed: 9

Compare to 090209. Did this one with Kyle, and we both completed 9 rounds. Pull ups were unbroken. Push ups are weak. Squats not bad. Pace was pretty steady but not quick, so could have pushed harder I think. Shoulder still hurts. Spent some time on the foam roller after the WOD.

WOD - 090603

"Mr. Joshua"

400m run
30 GHD sit-ups (scaled to Abmat situps, 20 reps)
15 deadlift, 225#, (scaled to 135#, 10 reps)

5 rounds for time (scaled to 3 rounds)

time: 12:06

Compare to 081203.

Back on the wagon. Worked out with my buddy Kyle (his first CF workout), so we scaled pretty substantially. Still, this was a good way to get back into CF. Trying for 3x/week for the next several weeks.

090507

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

time: 13:13

Compare to 081217. I worked out at home with a partner, and we only had one bar, so we bunched up a few times. I'm confident I could have finished under 12, still 2 minutes slower than last time. Taking 2.5 months off has really taken a toll. But it felt great to work out again.
