Yesterday my leg soreness got worse and worse even with a lil running in there. Being a command fitness leader I was coordinating the Navy’s PRT(fitness test) all week so yesterday I ran the 1 1/2 mile with a few of the guys to help them get faster times and hopefully loosen up my legs. DIDNT WORK!!! I woke up this morning stiff as ever so I got to the gym early so I could jump on the bike for 10 minutes and warm them up and stretch. It felt great and I was stoked to go run then. I maxed out my pushups and situps but we headed over to the starting point for our run and the heavens opened up and the coastal winds blew. And of Course its a brutal head wind. I ran a 9 minute my last PRT and during a mock run the other week I ran a 8:45 so I was hoping to get another 5-10 seconds off this run. YEEEAAAHH not with this head wind. I was actually lucky to run what I did I thought. Got a 9:15 which pissed me off but I can’t complain too much its still the best time at the command so far, but still I want that personal best. Spring will be my next time to run it, I’ll get it then… WEATHER PERMITTING! lol

My Navy PRT Scores:

Max reps in 2mins:

Situps: 105reps(100pts)

Pushups: 87reps(100pts)

1 1/2 mile run: 9:15(90pts)

Overall Score: 97 (Outstanding Medium)

Forgot about yesterdays workouts…

Total of 3 mile running

Then did skill drills for my snatch and jerk, boy did that hurt, legs were sore as hell trying to catch weight overhead and get under it fast. But it did help loosen up the shoulders and arms.

3,2,1…GO!

feeling like I’m about to throw up and I can’t walk straight… you know its a good workout.

3,2,1…GO!

Was in a car accident last week so I didn’t get too many workouts in plus having some back and neck soreness from it kinda kept me away as well. Sunday I was feeling good so I attempted a WOD

Sunday: 25 Oct

Deadlift

1×1x1×1x1×1x1

 (395, 405, 415, 420, 430, 435(f), 405×3(in a row))

10 min rest…

"2 Minute Defense"

5 Rounds @ 135#

1x Power Clean

3x Hang Squat Clean

2x Push Jerk

200 Foot Sprint

Finish all 5 rounds, rest 2 minutes and repeat 5 more rounds…

Time: 9:25(including 2min rest)

<em />

The deadlifts have been improving surpisingly but I started to get that lil twing in my neck attempting the 435# dead so I stopped before I really even started the lift. I was happy  though with my 2nd WODs performance seeing how my last "2min defense" was a 12 minute time. Good day in all, got a lot done at home too. Now back to the work week without a car. Hopefully today I find out wether or not my 4runner is a total loss or not.

3,2,1…GO!

Got this WOD from the CF Football website…

2 Power Cleans every minute for 15 minutes at 85% of 1RM = 250#

Total of 30 Reps

Great WOD for building strength. Had fun with it!

3,2,1…GO!

WED: Rest Day

Thurs:

5 Rounds:

15 Hang Squat Cleans @ 135#

30 Pushups

Time: 21:20

I was on pace to get like 16-17 minutes on this one until the last two rounds when my chest and arms just didn’t want to work anymore. My form on my cleans was flawless and someone was videoing it so I check I’m not just that arrogant. The pushups just did me in, it was almost pathetic that I had to break up my last set into ones and twos at a time. O well, it was a great workout and by time I was done I had a good five foot radius of sweat around me. Almost slipped a few times with my cleans in it. Good stuff though, loved it in that sadistic sorta way.

3,2,1…GO!

1RM on all 3 lifts:

Back Squat: 365#

Shoulder Press: 180#

Deadlift: 425#

Total: 970

This is a lot less then my old totals but not too bad for taking some time off from heavy lifting and not being consistent with my workouts lately. Another concern was that I was under a time crunch and I was changing weight out for 2 other people. Secondly, I’m still very sore from my previous workouts, so one day I would like to just take my time when I’m 100% and see how well I do. My old totals were over 1000, so I know I can get back there shortly, its just a matter of time. I’m still happy though cause my big buddy Jason PR’d on all his lifts and is getting stronger every week and its awesome to see when my coaching cues help him set new records. That guy is a great role model to his children and motivates me and so many other crossfitters.

3,2,1…GO!

"Elizabeth"

21-15-9 of:

Squat Cleans @ 135#

Ring dips

Time: 12:00

I royally screwed the pooch on this one. The ring dips slowed me down SOOOO much. I had lil trouble with my cleans. Grrrrr tomorrow is another day though!

3,2,1…GO!

So today we decided to head to the beach and do a lil workout. "lil", nothing lil about this damn WOD.

3 Rounds:

50m leaping burpees

21x kettlebell swings @ 55#

12x Handstand Pushups

Time: 15:11

I flew through the first round in like 2:?? minutes and then a lil slower on my second round but HOLY HELL that third round just tore me up. Leaping burpees in soft sand was a SON OF A B!TCH. My thighs and ass haven’t burned this bad in a LOOOONG ass time.

I think I’m gonna do an experiment this week and wake up early and get a workout in before going to work, so that means 5:30AM workout… OUCH! Then I’m going to stuff my face as much as possible all day long and then do another workout at 5:30PM. Gotta start getting ready for the games.

3,2,1…GO!
