Power Clean 1 Round Max - 207lbs New PR!

Awesome! Haven't done this since 5/6/2010. Got to work on form (who doesn't) and only 7 pounds from cleaning my own body weight. Did L-sits tonight as well, 10 rounds of 10 second holds. I actually could hold my big butt off the ground for all of these. Legs were out front but bent. I will take it!

Good day over all!

Double Under Snatches - 3 Rounds

10 minute AMRAP

30 - Double Unders

15 - 75# Snatch

The double unders were the slow part on this. They exhausted me and by the time I had 30 on the first round of DU's , everyone else was on the second round of double unders. Got faster at them on the 2nd and 3rd round so there is hope for me yet.

Squats

Did some heavy squat today for the first time in a long time and the first time in my weight lifting shoes.

3 @ 225

1 @ 255

Took time to feel a comfortable balance in the shoes.

How to do double unders - Don't 13:48

50-40-30-20-10

DOUBLE UNDERS

ABMAT SIT-UPS (ANCHORED)

BETWEEN EACH ROUND COMPLETE 15 WALL BALLS (20/14)

Pretty simple folks. Why beat your self silly doing double unders and walk away mad at the world. Just do 2 singles for every double, have a good workout, be happy with life and thank GOD you have the legs, feet, arms and hands to do 300 single unders.

What's a Lateral Burpee? 13:40 @ 95lbs

Hang Clean

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Push Press

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

3 Lateral Burpee Between Rounds

Exercise is to do 10 Hang Cleans, 1 Push Press and 3 Burpees. Repeat - 9,2,3 - 8,3,3 etc.

Lateral burpee is doing a burpee beside the bar and jumping sideways over the bar to do another. I think I will start my own brand, "Again Slower", but I finished in reasonable time Rx'd at 95.

For those 2 people that may be wondering where I have been, last week was a whipping. I built a pull up bar on Saturday at EFT, went to work a half day on Monday, then attended a funeral of a dear family friend in Fort Stockton last week. I think I needed the time away cause I felt strong today.

Our trainer gave me an idea today: crossfit finacial analogies. Hmm. Lot a groovy stuff there.

Breezy Barbara - DNF

Breezy Barbara

3 Rounds

20x Pullups

30x Push-ups

40x Situps

50 Squats

Run 400m

This was a whole lot of suck for me. Thought that I had some kind of residual durning my time off and the reality hit me with this workout that it isn't much. Halfway through the first round I was toast and it just got worse from there. Then the stinking thinking set in and after 2 rounds I quit. Gut was wrenched, body quivering, and mentally pissed. I am embarrassed to say that I even do crossfit at this point.

Jason: The next time you read this remember this day, you don't want to be the over weight blob you are today.

50 Front Squats and Other Stuff - 23:15

10 Rounds

5 Front Squat (155/115)

5 Toes to Bar

5 Planche Push-Ups

50 Meter Sprint (INSIDE = 5 x 10 Meters)

Rx'd Mens was 155lbs. I haven't done any oly squats since September so I went with the 115 and thank goodness I did. Failed on the 3rd round and didn't get the movement down until the 5th round. Did fine on the rest of it but the squats kicked my butt.

At last! I wasn't the last one tonight.
