10, 9, 8, 7...

WOD: 10, 9, 8...1 of:
  • Deadlifts
  • Push-press
  • Squat clean
@115 lbs.

Took me 22:56. Very proud of this one because I just chipped and chipped away at it -- and all fully prescribed, the kind of workout that would have been unthinkable for me only a few months ago.

Thrusters and pull-ups

From CrossFit Connection:
No...its not FRAN....but I think it might be worse...ok maybe not worse but longer with way more reps and its going to put a BIG dose of HURT on. I know those first few rounds will feel ok the after that the minute rest is going to feel like it is getting smaller and smaller and smaller.
WOD
  • 1 Minute of Thrusters (95 lbs/ 65 lbs)
  • 1 Minute of Pull ups
  • 1 Minute of REST
7 Rounds.

Wow, this was hard. First set was great (32), but it was a quick down-hill after that with my last three sets at 16, 16, and 18. Felt quite sick during the entire thing and it took me quite a while to recover afterward.

Max front squats

Maxed out at 205 lbs (PR).

Then we did a group workout with one partner doing 200 wall ball shots and 200 kettle bell swings (20kg). Took us 16:11.

Also played hockey tonight. We lost 5-4, but I had a very nice assist.
