20 April 2007

CrossFit!!

Completed 4 rounds of the following:

- 30 wall ball throws/cleans (6lbs)
- 20 burpee/pullups

= 27:32

Doesn't look like much, but this was one of the tougher CF workouts I've done. This was definitely one of those workouts that mess with you mentally more than anything....by round 2 I was already feeling the nausea in the pit of my stomach.

Fun times. One person commented in the middle of it that they felt like a 'sack of sh*t', so I quickly suggested that an appropo name for the workout should be the 'Sack Of Sh*t' WOD.

Nice work midgetcop! I never underestimate the WOD and more. It is just so hard to get through most of them I've tried.

My legs are still fried from my last one Thursday and I see that there is a lot of squat work required in today's plan!
(I'm going anyway)

Glad to see you able to make it a routine again.

The CF workouts always look easier on paper don't they?

good job that one looks really brutal. anything with burpees and wall balls isjust mean.

Have to go back a few days to update this....

21 April 2007 -- LEGS/BICEPS

Squats:
- bw warmup x 10, 45lbs x 10, 65lbs x 10, 75lbs x 8, 85 x 6

Calk Raises:
- 60lbs x 10, x 8, x 7

...it ended up being a really lousy workout because I wasn't feeling well. I've been getting over a virus for what feels like FOREVER now, and I didn't really push my legs and I ignored my biceps altogether. If there's one thing I'm starting to learn, it's to listen to my body.

23 April 2007 -- CHEST/TRICEPS

DB Flat Bench:
- 35lbs (per arm) x 9, 40lbs x 2, 35lbs x 6, x 8 (increase in reps)

DB Incline Bench:
- 35lbs (per arm) x 5, x 4, x 4 (increase in weight)

Cable Flys:
- 35 lbs (per arm) x 5, x, 5, x, 5 (increase in weight)

Dips:
- bw x 6, x 5, x 5

Seated DB Tricep Extention:
- 40lbs x 7, x 7, x 7 (increase in reps)

THOUGHTS:

As you can see my flat bench got a little..er...messed up. I tried for the 40lbs...couldn't make it past 2, and switched back to the 35ers. Ah well. Next time.

24 April 2007 -- CROSSFIT!!

Complete as many of the following in 10 minutes:

- 15 kettlebell swings (12kg)
- 10 burpees
- 5 pullups

..then complete as many of the following in 10 minutes:

- 30 kettlebell swings
- 15 burpees
- 10 pullups

first round = 4
second round = 1.5

Not my greatest performance I felt...maybe I just wasn't feeling it that day. Still kicked the sh*t out of me, and that's what's important. Got some good pics out of that day too, although I'm reminded why I shouldn't wear a tank-top to CF...

**minime** · 25-Apr-07, 12:10 PM

hey midgetcop, you are doing so great on the xfit workouts! How many pullups can you do in one set?

also great job on getting those 40s up even if it was just for two reps.. thats still pretty great!

**gymgirl** · 25-Apr-07, 12:13 PM

That one is just cruel! Get you good and fatigued, then REALLY make it suck!

LINDA · 25-Apr-07, 02:40 PM

Great job on that. I would have taken one look at that workout and chickened out!

I'm assuming that's you in the red tank?

oooh there she is. I was only seeing the person in the center...girl in blueish tank and guy in grey in the other picture. You look like you are workin' hard!

I have to say I am glad CFN dosen't take pictures and video while we are working out. I make the most unattractive faces and am usualy completely drenched in sweat. not so good for the eyes. haha I don't know how you and everyone else always look so good while working out!

I am usually embarassed by my sloppy makeup when I get in the car after crossfit ! I have a new makeup protocal for those days!

**midgetcop** · 25-Apr-07, 04:20 PM

Yep, that's me in the red tank. I don't mind the pics so much...I kinda like lookin' at myself working hard and all sweaty and stuff. Makes me feel harcore. :P

minime - if we're talking proper pullups, then I'd say I can only do about 5-6 in a set...but at CF I'm doing pullups on the olympic rings where my legs are out and my heels are touching the floor. I'm working my way up to incorporating real pullups into my WODs.

brat - yeah, no one looks to pretty coming out of CF. :P That's awesome that you've jumped on the bandwagon too!

26 April 2007 -- CrossFit!!

Complete as many of the following as you possibly can....

- pullups (olympic rings)
- pushups

(did as many as possible per set alternating back and forth)

....my instructor and I did this together, and the original plan was to keep going until we physically couldn't do anymore, but after 20 minutes we decided to call it a day when we realized that we probably could have kept going for another half hour doing 2-3 reps per set....

= 92 pullups
= 142 pushups

BWA. Freakin' awesome.

JDR3 · 28-Apr-07, 12:33 AM

Very nice numbers!!

Thats a hell of a lot of pullups/pushup!
