4 Rounds:

Run 400m
50 Squats



It sucked. Thanks, CR!

I'm running out of titles


Tabata Double-under

The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for 8 intervals.  Tabata score is the least number of reps performed in any of the eight intervals.


Rest 3 minutes, then perform

2k Row for time



So my ROW time was 10:47. Not too shabby. 

This sucked. I'm super dissapointed in my tabata score. I think I got too much in my head and couldn't relax my shoulders.

Dragging Ass


In teams of two, complete 3 rounds of the following

Row 500 meters and Double unders for reps

Ring dips (25 reps for gentlemen, 20 for the ladies) and Power Cleans for reps (135/95 lbs)

In this workout, one athlete will perform double unders while the other athlete rows 500 meters.  Upon completion, one athlete will perform power cleans for as long as it takes the other athlete to complete the dips.  Then switch.  Both athletes must be done with the double unders/row before starting the power cleans/dips.

Each athlete must row at least once and double under at least once.  At the end of the WOD, the team total reps of power cleans and double unders will equal seconds off the total time.


Partner: Kazoo
Time- 22:30
Total # of Reps in minutes- 5:33
Final Time- 16:27

B-a-n-a-n-a-s!


AMRAP 7 minutes of:
5 Thrusters (95#/65#)
10 Kettlebell swings 
Rest 4 minutes and then perform your score (rounds and reps) for time.  Goal is sub 7 minutes.



What a doozy! I knew when I read this last night that it was going to put me down like tranq'd out show elephant in the circus (where do I come up with this shit?). 

I'll save the nitty gritty details and go for the final conclusion: I should have listened to my back. The 2nd round of work is when I felt not so hot at the bottom of my thruster (squat) and at the top of my thruster (hyper-extension of my back). Wanting to beat my 7 mins time, my form went to shit. I should have tapped out like I did on Saturday. 

I iced. Rolled. Stretched. Iced again. 

Brushing my teeth at the sink was uncomfortable again. 

Sigh. 

I hoped I'm not fucked. 

PS- Post WOD recovery (not the shake) took about 2 hours to feel alright again. 

Number 5 of this evening's set


Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3 reps



Fuck, I don't know how to rotate the picture without having to do it in iPhoto. What a pain. 

Anyways this is my first attempt at "heavy" deadlift, non sumo, in about 2 months. I felt ok. Not really strong, but then again it makes sense. I was afraid to go up weight. Again playing it safe. 



I need to listen vewy vewy carefully


"Santiago"

Seven Five rounds for time of:

35/20 8 lbs dumbbell hang squat clean, 18 12 reps

18 12 Pull ups

135/95 55 lb Power cleans, 10 reps

10 Handstand Push ups on the box


I tapped out after 3 rounds of work. My back was sayin' No, No, No! I think the catalyst was cleaning from the ground. I should have hang cleaned the weight. The DBs were very light. 

I'm glad that I listened to my body. 

Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy


"Jeremy"

21-15-9 reps for time of:

Overhead Squat, 95lbs

Burpees



I did worse than I thought I would. Went "light" at 45#s, but it was my wrist that gave out on me. Damn you OHS!


At least I don't hate running anymore.


Run a 5 K for time


I didn't improve.
