Get some gription

Where did all our chalk go?

6am CrossFit class WOD:

"Jackie"

1k row
50 thrusters
30 Pull-ups

( 7:11)

If you didn't notice that is two days of shoulder intensive stuff, and now I want to die. Really it was a good WOD, and I had fun working out with the 6am crowed.

Nutrition:

Paleo and Zone are two concepts that people have a hard time getting through when they start CrossFitting and I generally tell everyone to start with their workouts then we'll get to nutrition. Paleo is simply eating lean meats, nuts or monounsaturated fats that are naturally occurring, vegetables and some fruit. Zone is a portion control system that helps balance all of these. When used in accordance to ones body weight, workout routine, and desired results Zone/Paleo can dramatically increase your progress.

Good workout, my legs are fried from the weekend, but it was fun. Let's get some cooler weather back you know.

Hang Power

This morning I helped with the 5am CF class working on Hanging Power Cleans. The purpose of today's WOD was to work on all the problem areas that people were having doing the HPC. At the end of the class we saw some serious results from the practice.

I am still wrecked from the weekend so I had to take it easy today. I went through the circuit and rolled out then went through some HPC at really light weight and did 5 rounds of 20 GHD sit ups and 20 double unders. Then I did 100 pushups and called it a day. I really just needed to work up a sweat, and get lose. Tomorrow will be more of a CrossFit day.

Catalyst helps maintain muscle mass during exercise and weight management. It is a good recovery tool because it contains branched-chain amino acids and L-glutamine, L-arginine, and taurine. I use it 3 times a day, pre-workout, post workout and in between meals.

Obliterated

This is a picture of the second WOD of the day during the double unders.

Well, yesterday for all intensive purposes was a success. My worries about the first WOD turned out to be not a big deal. The 185# cleans were heavy and slowed me down, but I finished and never failed a rep. We don't know for sure the final outcome of the comp, but I know I didn't win. I had fun and am continuing to learn what I need to do to get better.

WOD 1 - 8:52
WOD 2 - 6:24
WOD 3 - 5:10

Combined Score - 20:26

Today- Rest Day

Obliteration

Tomorrow is Oktoberfest Obliteration, put on by CrossFit Champions in Cypress, Texas. I and nearly 20 other competitors from CSCF are heading down to compete. It should be an amazing day. There are 3 individual WODs and 2 team WODs, as well as master WODs. I know we have two teams who are going to be in the running for a V. I will be competing as an individual athlete in the males standard division.

WOD 1

In any order

3x 200m Run
3x5 Squat Cleans @ 185#
3x20 Kb Swing @ 60#

10 min Cut Off


WOD 2

3 rounds for time:

10 Renegade Man Makers
15 Double Unders


WOD 3

2x 525m Run

1st lap- 40# Weight Vest + 80# Sandbag

2nd lap- Just the 40# Weight Vest


Yesterday I did one round of the first WOD and failed the 5th rep of the squat cleans. To be honest I am nervous about finishing that WOD. If I can just get through it I know I can keep myself competitive through the other WODs. WOD 1 is less a function of go factor and more a function of weight for me. The others will be all go factor.

Box Squat?

Check out this video


Today I did box squats with Zach. I did 3 sets of 10 box squats staying very light at 135# just to work on balance and core strength. With Octoberfest on Saturday I need to take it easy. Daren said that I should take today off, but I really wanted to do some squats, so what are you gonna do.

Tomorrow is a busy day, with training and workouts, but we'll have Friday off for sure leading up to competition.

So-Lo

I had to ride solo today during Claudia. No one from the CSCF team was able to workout with me at the time I could workout. I did it in (11:35) it was pretty hard.

"Claudia"

5 rounds for time:

20 Kb swings
400m run

harjoituksen päivä

Yesterday I did a warm up with the circuit and 2 400m runs, then I did a mile at a good pace (5:23) after that I went inside and did 3 rounds of 5 DL @ 235, 10 Db Presses, and 8 Push-ups then 21-15-9 GHD sit-ups, and pull-ups. After that I ran another mile (5:33). I am taking this week easy because I want to keep myself fresh for Octoberfest on Saturday in Cypress Texas. There will be 3 individual events, and we have no idea what we are doing yet. More to come on that... Today I do Claudia, and will post my time after I do it on CSCF main page and here.

Yesterday was the start of a new on-ramp for the month of October. We had 16 new crossfitters!
