NEW CREW

Today was my first day with the new crew. I go in at 1 in the afternoon to workout with the trainers and people training for the Games. It is really cool so far and I like it a lot.

Strength: Max Push Jerk, Max Push Jerk(Behind head), Max Split Jerk.

Didn't feel too strong on the Jerks today. I still need to work on jumping under the bar a lot more. Rob has some drills for me to work on Friday to help that. Shoulders are pretty toasted.

(175, 175, 165)

WOD: As many rounds in 12 min:
10 Dumbell Snatch Right(40#)
10 Dumbell Snatch Left(40#)
20 Pullups

6 Rounds + 10 Snatch +10 Snatch

21 Push Press (# 115)

18 Push Press
500m Row

Skin the Cat

WOD: 30 Cals Row
40 Pullups
50 Pushups
60 Situps
70 Squats

I'm pretty sore from the past week workouts so this was a good workout for me because it wasn't a lot of one thing. Before the WOD we worked on "Skin the Cat" on the rings. These are really fun to play around with but I definitely need to practice them.

Time: 8:31

Snatch/Thruster

WOD: 21- 15 -9
Dumbell Split Snatch Right Arm (#35)
Dumbell Split Snatch Left Arm (#35)
Pullups

Fun little workout. We worked the Power Snatch for our strength circuit and my progress in coming along. Split Snatches were new for me and it felt good with the dumbell. Robb let me use his Oly shoes and they helped a surprising amount.

Time: 7:34

GIRLS vs. DEWDS

WOD: Teams of 5 Girls vs Boys
800m Run (Guys had 20# Wallball)
100 Thrusters
125 Cals

Team workouts are definitely fun to do every once in a while. It is a good way to interact and get to know fellow crossfitters a little better. The workout was pretty easy but today in our strength circuit we worked on Power Cleans and I feel those are coming along. I can't wait for my shoes to come in the mail!

WOD: 4 min of..
30 DU's
then as many rounds untill 4 min is up of
9 Squats
7 KTE

Sounds really confusing the way I wrote it but it was a fun workout. Everything was pretty much unbroken (except DU) so the intensity was there trying to go fast. Need to get better at DU!

New updates with training. Rob wants me to do the NorCal qualifiers so I need to train so I will be the most prepared I can. I'm going to train 4 days a week at the gym (mon, tues, wed, fri) and then workout outside the gym with some of the trainers running hills and stuff like that.

Jackie Returns

WOD: Jackie

1000m Row
50 Thrusters (45#)
30 Pullups

I was pretty stoked when I showed up and was told me were doing this WOD. I am not a fan of it all all but it is the first benchmark WOD that I have done to repeated itself . I got a 34 second PR which I feel is good for me. I am not looking forward to Jackie to return anytime soon, that workout sucks.

Time: 8:12

"Freddy's Revenge"

WOD: 5 rounds of:
5 Reps of 115# press bar overhead anyway you like
10 Burpees

Rx'ed weight is 185# but that is insane so I dropped down. The first couple of rounds I did unbroken doing push press. The rest of the rounds I had to break up and started doing some Push Jerks. Burpees are never fun but especially in this workout.

Time: 6:24

"HELEN"

WOD: HELEN 3 Rounds for Time
400m Run
21 Kettlebell Swings (55#)
12 Pullups

This was a fun workout and worked well for my strengths. I did good and actually set the in house record for the gym but I felt like I could have gone a lot faster. I wasn't feeling good and I had to use a dumbbell which is harder than an actual Kettlebell. Next time I'm going sub 7:45 for sure.

Time: 8:17
