WOD: Christine

Today's WOD was a benchmark: Christine: 3 rounds for time of,
  • 500m Row
  • 12 Bodyweight Deadlifts
  • 21 Box Jumps
Weight for the deads was 135lbs.

Time: 14:37. I think this was my first time doing it, so it gets recorded as a PR.

WOD: Pushy Under Swing

Today was the Pushy Under Swing: max rounds in 20 minutes of,
  • 15 Double Unders
  • 10 Kettlebell Swings (1.5 Pood)
  • 5 Push Press 95/65
I squeezed in 8 rounds, which was not so hot. Part of the problem was that I struggled with the double unders for the first two rounds and then I shifted to 60 regular skips.

WOD: Half Cindy + 1,500m row

Today's workout was intense. We started with a rather overzealous warm-up involving med-ball throws and sprints. And then it was on the WOD:

Max rounds in 10 minutes of,
  • 5 Pull-ups
  • 10 Push-ups
  • 15 Squats
— REST —
  • 1,500m Time Trial on Rower
For the half Cindy I managed to squeeze in 7 reps, just coming shy of 8.

The 1,500 meter row was a different story: 5:37 for a PR. And that 0n the heels of a half Cindy! Very, very happy with that. But by the end of it (around the last minute or so) my legs had completely given out of me (the squats from earlier in the workout took their toll -- not to mention that yesterday I spent the entire day skiing at Mount St. Lous Moonstone). I was essentially pulling with my arms only for the stretch run.

WOD: 1,000 Rep Team Challenge

I love these team challenges. Today we had 2 groups of 4 do:
  • 100 Kettlebell Swings
  • 200 Pull-ups
  • 300 Sit-ups
  • 400 Squats
I ripped through the first 40 squats in no-time-flat, but it cost me for the rest of the WOD and I could only muster sets of 20. I had everything else under control. Nice workout.

WOD: No More Med Balls!!!

Mercifully, a workout involving no legs: No More Med Balls!!! consisting of 5 rounds of time of,
  • 20 Shoulder Press 75/55
  • 20 Knees To Elbows
My time was 15:01 and I pushed hard, minimal breaks. Felt great. I lifted 50lbs and by the end I was doing push presses. I did surprisingly well on the knees to elbows.
