KAREN

17min pretty much right on. I knew this is the wod I should b e doing when I realized that I didn't want to do it. I've changed my warm up around to be mainly working on weak points like thrusters, handstands, and overhead squats. Talked to a guy at work about CF he wants to be a bodybuilder so I showed him Josh Bunch.

My injured ankle has been nagging me lately so I had cut back on workouts. I felt terrible, soft slow, guilty. I was told recently by a Dr. that I should be resting the ankle as much as possible and not straining it. I think thats why I decided to Karen, give it a shot see how my ankle feels after that. I also feel a fight gone bad in my future, the box jumps would be a good test.

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.
