This was pretty rough. I should pick a standard for push-ups and stick with it, I think chest to ground is probably best.

I got rocked. Felt slow but apparently I beat current "Fittest Man Alive" Graham Holmberg (10:24). How the hell did that happen? I guess he is bigger than me. Current "Fittest Woman Ailve" Kristan Clever whooped my ass though (8:35).

Also, you're supposed to count your number of steps but I didn't know that at the time, oops.



Skills
Double unders- new jump rope is AMAZING I can't really believe it. New PR: 60, I stopped, not failed.

Frankly, I have no idea what was so difficult about this. Thrusters are hard.

I'm going to try to remember to put the excerpt about the hero for the hero WODs (like this one). I just try to take a brief moment to reflect after I read them, maybe that's just me.

Army Sgt. Keith Adam Coe, 30, of Auburndale, Fla., assigned to the 1st Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., died April 27th, 2010, in Khalis, Iraq, of wounds sustained when enemy forces attacked his unit with an explosive device. He is survived by his wife Katrina Coe, two sons, Killian and Keith Jr., and daughter, Klover.

WOD
5-5-5-5-5 reps back squat

My loads: 125-145-165-175-180

Skills
Double unders (didn't go so well, my timing wasn't great but I got 20 something)
Turkish get-ups
Barbell cleans
Barbell squat snatches

I worked out at the gym where my step-mom gets personal training. After one of the other trainers finished with his client he gave me some coaching on my TGUs and oly lifts. I think he knows what he's doing since he's a big Russian dude, so I'll give what he said a try. If I find out he knows how to oly lift I might try to get an hour lesson with him while I'm here (he seemed more interested in the KB stuff and they don't have bumpers there, but we'll see).

I did this on June 21st in 11:19. I might have done 10 extra sit-ups on the second set, but I can't be sure.

What's weird is that I essentially the same skills the last time I did this, I didn't look at the post until after I had finished.

Rest day.

Going to my dad's for a couple weeks. I'll still be working since I'm borrowing my brother's pull-up bar. Give me a pull-up bar and a stopwatch and I'm a happy camper. (I think I might have a jump rope too!)

Monday, August 2, 2010

Monday, August 2, 2010

3 rounds for time of:
10 overhead squats 65lbs (bar starts on ground)
50 double unders

Made it up, based on some regional workout or something.

My time: 8:05
Felt like crap. Shoulders were sore or something, I don't know. I started the actual WOD with tuck jumps because my jump rope broke during warm up. I was not happy and I stopped mid-workout for the first time.

I did this workout with a different rope and my timing was terrible. I got really frustrated with my double unders and I really let it affect me.

This was also my first WOD with overhead squats, I cleaned or snatched the weight up- need to work on my snatch balance. I think they're challenging in interesting ways (core, shoulders, balance, etc).

Sunday, August 1, 2010

Five rounds for time of:
95 pound Squat clean thruster, 5 reps
10 Pull-ups (if you can do chest to bar pull ups do as many as you can per round)

Source

My time: 9:50
I did all chest to bar pull-ups. I think I missed one rep. I missed a clean for the first time and dumped it without breaking anything. This was rough on my hands.

I felt pretty good about my cleans, I met the bar pretty well and didn't let it land on me. Practicing the snatches last week and reading a lot has really helped. I think I'm pretty weak overhead but I'm working on it.
