Workout of the Day
Tillman
Complete 7 rounds for time:
7 Deadlifts – 315 lbs
1 Full Gasser
15 Pull Ups
*Rest 45 seconds between rounds
My Results
25:35 – compared to 32:33 on 1/8/11
i subbed the football field gasser (two trips across the football field and back) for a basketball court gasser (freethrow line, back, halfcourt, back, freethrow line, back, fullcourt, back) and after the first round, i ended up doing jumping pull ups…
and yes, that is an exact copy of the first round (why reinvent the wheel) – today’s results and modifications were very similar outside of the much reduced time. it would appear as though what i’m doing is helping.

Today’s Workout
CSWoD
Deadlift 5 RM
21, 15, 9 reps of:
Deadlifts – 70% of 5 RM
Ring Dips
My Results
Deadlift 5RM: 465lbs
21/15/9 DL/Dips – DL@335lbs: 14:25
Today, i did the strength portion of the workout first – which seems to be the way most folks on the CrossFit Football site do it. i’ve also been doing the Amateur strength workouts, which i think i’ll start doing the Collegiate workouts for a while. we also don’t have rings, so ring dips were out – i subbed regular dips. after a new 5RM in deadlift, doing a deadlift workout was killer. i am aware that 70% of 465 is actually closer to 325, but i already had 335 on the bar and didn’t feel like moving things around. time is very much too high and it’s a direct result of cardio endurance. what i need to do is add some p90x or Insanity workouts on my off days… but i still feel weird working out in my living room. maybe i just gotta suck it up and focus on my shyt instead of where i’m doing it. time for me to bring it!

Today’s Workout
Complete 5 rounds for time of:
3 Deadlifts 315 lbs
5 Handstand Push Ups
Sprint 50 meters
SWoD
Squat 3×5 (add 5lbs to last workout)
My Results
6:23
Squat 3×5 @ 325lbs
felt fairly good today – the sprints were a 25 yd down and back in the weightroom and turned into not much of a sprint, but a rapid jog… the boys could NOT get the HSPU thing figured out, i wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. after i finished my entire 5 rounds, they ended up just doing reps of presses with a bar… we then did some Handstand holds and eek, it was ugly. squats felt solid, probably should’ve jumped up a lil bit more in weight, but that’ll come with time.
