The personal site for ME!
This is a fairly complete log of my fitness training. I try to keep a record of most of my workouts. I like to look back on past performance, and also repeat old workouts again.
It's also helpful to tag workouts with the movements in them so I can quickly refer back to previous results.
1.) Every 1 minute for 8 minutes: 1 x Power Clean
2.) Work up to a 1RM Front Squat
I haven’t lifted in forever so I’m stoked with that lift.
Conditioning:
TIME: 10:00
My pull-ups are what killed this one. I haven’t been doing those at all. I’m pleased with how I did, but so much slower than previous attempts.
1.) Clean & Jerk Bar Complex
10 x 1 rep @ 155 (1 rep every 2 min)
Felt good considering I haven’t been on the barbell in weeks. I’ll take it!
1. Conditioning – Nicole
20 min AMRAP
Result: 62
1. Conditioning
1 mile run (warmup)
2. Barbell Work
7 x squat clean complex:
Result: 135, 155, 155, 155, 155, 155, 155
Felt good on these, also gassed. This was supposed to be on the minute, but G was outside so I had to keep helping him with stuff.
3. Back Squat
3-3-3
Was supposed to do something else. Ran out of time and way distracted helping G play with stuff. Yay family life!!!
Overall it was good to be back on the barbell. Really need to stay on top of strength stuff. Super hard right now with the newborn and business stuff, but I can’t complain!
1. Conditioning / Warm Up
1 mile run
2. CrossFit Games 17.3
Result:
Felt good about this. CTB felt better than expected. I can’t remember the last time I’ve done either of these movements, so completion is a win!
1. Conditioning / Warm-Up
1.25 mile run
2. Helen Rx
21, 15, 9
Time: 16:11
Result: I tried to hold a 5:00 pace on this. First round I had about 45 seconds rest. Second round, 10 seconds rest. Last round, xxx.
1. Conditioning
2400m run.
2. 1400s
10 rounds
Time: 11:23
3. Buy Out
1600m run
1. Strength
Strict Press: 5-5-5
95-95-95
Need to do this more often. Glad to put in some reps, but it felt heavier than it should have.
2. Conditioning
21-15-9
Time: 7:11
I pushed myself hard on this and I’m pumped with my finish. I haven’t been on the barbell in weeks, maybe months and wanted to get in some deadlifts and start getting my strength back.
Three months ago I did this same wod 30 seconds slower (but with a 20″ box jump) so I’m fired up to beat it. And in 2015 I did this exact same wod in 6:48 (here). I was doing a lot of CompTrain wods then so my strength was way up, and I was still only 20 seconds slower.
Great day!
1. Strength
Front Squat: 3-3-3-3
Felt pretty good. Really need to get back to strength stuff again.
2.) Conditioning
10 minute AMRAP
Start with 2 reps each, increase by 2 reps each round.
Result:
Wow, that was way better than the last two times I did this (Aug 2016, Oct 2015) . Felt good too. I didn’t take any in-round breaks until late in the round of 10s. Pacing felt good. Cardio felt good. OHS even felt good and I did them all unbroken which surprised me.
Two big differences between this time and the previous times:
1.) Strength
Front Squat: 3-3-3-3
Felt good, but also like I haven’t lifted heavy in forever… which is true.
2.) Conditioning
“Running Christine” (because I don’t have a rower)
3 Rounds:
TIME = 16:37
A bit slower than last time, but pleased with the pace. Running felt good. Deadlift felt heavy. Box jumps felt slow but I kept them moving.
