21 Thrusters and 21 double unders x 5

OUCH!. My legs are killing me. I knew I would not be doing this one as Rx'd. I did 45lb thrusters to keep the intensity higher and tried to do 21 double unders. for some reson I would often hit the back of my head with the rope. Anyway I reduced it to 50 reps of skipping after I realized I would be all day trying to get 105 Du's. 16mins in total. which was okay. I think I will need to work on DU's in my warmup and I will add 10lbs next time.

5 minutes, plus minus.  5rnds of max reps BP and PU.  It was a terrible workout.  I felt like I was ready to go but when I started it was as if I had not warmed up at all.  the breakdown went like this 2/16, 1/13, 1/8, 1/6, 1/5.  Absolutely terrible.  I guess thats why we keep track, I don't want to perform this poorly again.  Diet today was not great either.  

Deadlifts 1 RM x7

No PR today but about 2x body weight anyway. 315, 335, 335, 345, 345, 365FAIL, 335, 315. It seems deadlifts come up when I get bad news. I like them to help get rid of frustrations. Its also kind of funny to see people look at a skinny guy lifting that kind of weight and say don't yourself. Whatever go back to your preacher curls/TV routine.

In January I started the Starting strength routine. I found that I was getting pretty good gains in most things. After about a month I did Helen to see how I felt. 17 minutes later I thought I would be calling 911. my best time 11 some minutes. clearly stopping the met con all together takes its toll. That being said I am leaning towards the strength biased style of crossfit.

Rest Day

Today was a rest day thank goodness. Had no time had to deal with a vehicle rollover where a 17yr old tried to answer cell and lost control. He is on life support. Don't think I will be using my phone on the road anytime soon.

"ERIN"

Tougher then it looks 24:54 first to rnds were as Rx'd. In order to keep some intensity to it I dropped to 30lb for rnds 3-5. It feels good to get back to doing CF regularly even though my ankle is not completely healed.

First Post in ages. Did the Ironman and loved it 7:39 I think. Also new Deadlift PR of 360#s. improved my garage Gym and added a daughter and enrolled the other into gymnastics. Plan on attending a level 1 cert in August.

37-39 and another PR

I did Kelly in about 30minutes. I forgot to check the the time at the start of round one, plus the box wasn't high enough neither were the wall balls. Taking those things into account I added a bit of time to what I think I had. So at least I have an idea where I should be. Got an interesting response from another co-worker stating it looked exhausting. I could hardly breathe when I responded, without stopping, that that was the idea.

I did Deadlifts the next day. Wanted to hit 300 but no. I hit 285#lbs though so that's a new PR. I failed it once and I did not look pretty when I got it. with veins popping red face and the like. So many people were more concerned that I may hurt myself with my workout as opposed to paying attention to their own 5 minute break between sets. I never felt an ounce of pain from doing the workout.

I did Helen at the gym with Coach D. It was open gym day and I looked at what others had done. Some of them were a little daunting especially as I was dehydrated from being out and about all day. Anyway did Helen in 13 minutes even. The last run was killer and oddly it was the first two sets of KB swings that were the hardest.

I have been asked to do the Petawawa iron man at the end of the summer. Don't know if I want to or not. I currently don't feel at all ready for it. time break out the ruck I guess.
