WoD 1.27.10

Took the day off today. i’m unable to walk normally from the GHD work from monday. my hamstrings are SORE! and the 10 50s that are prescribed for today probably wouldn’t go too well in my current condition.

on the bright side, i got the okay from the wife to workout MWF (instead of MWT), so my workouts will be more spaced out – yay!

also of note, my 100 push up challenge is going swimmingly – 1/4th of the way done. it starts to get difficult pretty soon – if memory serves.

CFFB WoD 1.21.10

So after running on monday, and a killer but seemingly not so bad workout on wednesday, i finally made it into the weight room to get my 3rd workout in a week.

Doing the CrossFit Football workout for today, which consisted of:

4 rounds of 7 cycles, one cycle:
power clean, front squat, push press, back squat and good morning.

rest 90 seconds between rounds, and during the round, no dropping of the weight. a drop costs a penalty of one burpee at the end of the workout.

My results:
1x 95lbs
3x 115lbs
2 penalties (drops)

i didn’t know what weight to use for this workout, so i started out at 95lbs for the first round. it wasn’t easy, but i decided to go up for the second round to 115lbs. this wasn’t easy. and while my forearms were burninating the neighborhood, i finished with only two penalties.

i finished up with 3×5 in bench and felt the bad kind of pain in my hammy on my second set of 3×5 in the squat, so i stopped. twas not a pop, but definitely NOT a good hurt. hoping tomorrow feels better.

Well, Wednesday is usually a Rest Day and since i used up my rest day yesterday, i did the CFFB WoD from yesterday: Tuesday, January 5th, 2010.

Now this morning, i was feeling the workout from Monday. Lats and arms: SORE… but that just tells me I’m alive or that’s what i keep telling myself. i do not like pull-ups. for one, i’m fat and out of shape and it takes a lot of work pulling myself all up ons that bar! to some extent, i feel like John Pinette “I don’t do ups”:

but not completely have i reached the John Pinette level of fitness
