Bench and Jump

Did a variation off the CrossFit Football WOD for today. Instead of the squat (my legs are already pretty toasted from this weeks activities), I did incline bench...so....

8 rounds:
7 reps incline bench - used 185lbs (was a little light)
8 standing broad jumps (get after it, at least 6ft per jump)

9:14:04

Cool down:
1500 row

Another Deadlift WOD

I was planning to deadlift today and was stoked to see the CrossFit mainsite's selection for today!!

I am nursing a torn callus on my left hand from some pullup madness earlier in the week, it's healing up, but I wasn't sure how long it would last.

The WOD:

Deadlift
1-10-1-20-1-30

Using about 95% of 450lbs, I used 425lbs for the singles

1 - 425lbs
10 - 315lbs
1 - 425lbs
20 - 275lbs
1 - 425lbs
30 - 225lbs

All sets unbroken! I had to tape my hand on the last set of 30, that would have ripped it up good!

Total pounds: 2090lbs (not counting the repititions)

Bear Crawl Your A** Off

I am trying to reconnect to some tougher WODs and I thought, what better way to do that than with some bear crawls!! I browsed the archive and pulled out a fine little number and headed off to the GLOBO.

I was disappointed when I got there as my comrades were MIA, I thought, dang, this is something I would like to share with them. Our programming is largely a joint effort, and typically it doesn't take much convincing as Rich and Brad are game for just about anything, unless there are extinuating circumstances (injury, major DOMS of some sort, etc).

Luckily, after my warmup, Rich pulled in and ready to roll with the WOD I had picked. Here it is:

4 minutes of:

50ft bear crawl
10 push press, 95lbs
50ft bear crawl
5 power cleans, 95lbs

Repeat for 4 rounds, rest is 1 minute between rounds.

Lordy, lordy this was one bad mother. I got through the first round, I did 2 and 3/4 cycles through. I only managed my trademark forward roll coming out the bear crawls on the first 2 rounds (expelling way too much energy for the fun reward). For the next round, I pulled in with just 2 cycles through, and the last 2 rounds were about 1 full round plus one set of presses. Dang, shoulders were on fire!! Those bear crawls are just madness after you really dig into that WOD.

Good one Dwayne, thanks much! ha.
