Used 24 kg on the swings. Have to step my game up and go for the big boy next time.
C2B pull ups and thrusters at 95lbs felt strong.
18:24 rx’d
I say this often, but this workout was rough.
20:38
3 rounds – 21/15/9
400 meter run
KB swings – @24kg
C2B pullups – Sub dead hang/small kip – woohoo
Thrusters – @65# –
Thanks coaches for helping me heal by modifying my workouts for the last 3+ months. Although I’m weak and will be taking it slow, looks like I’m back to it all.
Tommy, Jeff, Ed and Rachel – had a good time with you guys today!
UES spitter on 3!
16:48
75# thrusters, 24 kg KBs
Really feeling the progress from our awesome coaching (and community). SO GRATEFUL.
Might start trying to group in weight soon. Let’s see…
DAY 3 of the BLOG CHALLENGE
Post your WODs guys!!
*NOV 4 PARTY UPDATE*
I’m sure there will be more than 13 of you coming to feast and drink. Don’t forget to bring in your contribution or we’ll just have some apples 🙂 haha
21:09
16kg – KB
53lbs – Thrusters
Thanks to everyone for getting me through the end! Could have been at least 5 seconds faster if I didn’t hit my chin with the barbell in the middle of the last round of Thrusters! 🙂
21:41
16kg/strict pull ups from rings/53#
Thrusters felt better than last week.
18:22 rx’d.
Runs – The plan was to rest during these. I finished the first round in front as my peers seemed to have the same idea. I walked the beginning and end of round 2 and 3 (uphill parts) as I felt horrible.
KBs – I was going to break these up but 2 pood felt good so I did them unbroken.
C2B – Round 1 I did 10-6-5. I thought I was moving quickly but then saw jtisa hit the thrusters before me! He is a pull-up machine! I learned after the WOD that he was doing sets of 5 fast. I’ll try 6-5-5-5 next time with less rest. Round 2 was a no-brainer 5-5-5 and round three was 4-3-2 which I think was smart since I tried very short rests.
Thrusters – Jared, I believe you were being genuine when you suggested doing these unbroken but you are confusing me with someone with knuckle tattoos. This was not happening. Round 1: 12-9. Round 2: 9 – 6. Round 3: Unbroken.
I must admit that knowing Jared’s time improved my score.
7x800m sprints with 2 min rest
Averaged about 3min each
In Syracuse so also did this in 30 degree temps. Still coughing now. Good times.
22:31
3 rounds – 21/15/9
20kg/jumping pull ups/ 65# thrusters
The kb swings were easy peazy – did them all unbroken. I will get the 24kg soon.
Thrusters were rough today for some reason.
23 flat w/lots of scaling. Missed gym all week due to cold and shoulder not feeling great (notes to self for next time!)
166
26:59 at 95lb thrusters and 1.5 pood kbs. I did the thrusters paul bunyan style – split. them up. Thanks to the whole 11:30 crew for the push at the end.
love this
CrossFit Cue of the Day:
For traditional kipping pull-ups, to ensure the shoulder isn’t internally rotated at the shoulder open position: “Pretend you are painting two parallel straight lines on the roof.”
20:56
24kgs/ jumping pull ups/ 65# thrusters
19:50
I rx’d the weight but not all the pull ups were C2B. Running and pull ups are my weakness.
Hotel wod:
100 thrusters with 20lb dumbells
Every min do 5 burpees
9:36
Then tabata situps (only 12), pushups (9)
Then 2 min plank hold
18 something… Forgot already.
23:00 rx’d
