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

This morning i started up the workouts at Park HS, I will only be able to lift there three days a week (M-W-T), but i’ll do the best i can. I’ll be pulling workouts from either CrossFit (CF) or CrossFit Football (CFFB). usually i try to do the “Workout of the Day” (WoD) for CFFB, but sometimes i’m unable to because the WoD requires equipment we don’t have at PHS (i.e. row machines, 40lb med balls, rings, etc.) or maybe i just don’t want to do the workout . the backup plan at that point is to check recent WoDs that i missed in my days not able to get over to Park on the CFFB site, if nothing jumps out as super exciting, then i meander over to the CF site and find a workout there to do.
Today’s workout on CFFB wasn’t possible because it had ball slams with 40lb medicine ball… which we don’t have at Park… so i looked back and gave the boys i workout with an option… “Cindy”, “Mary” or “Angie” (the CrossFit realm will give girl names to some of their common workouts and also honors fallen soldiers with some very intense and difficult workouts – i still remember doing the ‘Tillman’ WoD last spring). They chose Cindy, which, i’m not sure i’m happy about, but it happened nonetheless.
