AM WOD with the Kids, Run, Squats, Lever Pulls, Thrusters, Iron Crosses, Lunges, Toes to Bar

2 Rounds for time:
Large loop of soccer field
50 Body Squats
30 Lever Pulls (like butterfly but with one arm at a time reaching across the center line)
20 Thrusters (45lb bar)
20 Iron Crosses (5lb plate start arms out in-front, open to sides close, then straight up over head)
50 Lunges
10 Toes-to-Bar

Did not get a time on this.  I started after the kids.  I had to pull benches and bars for the toes to bar.  I headed out when most the group was on lunges.  Seemed like I had a decent pace going.  I was sweating like a race horse.  Legs were on fire and shaky after done.

Iron Man 400!

80lbs worth of weighted vests
2 55lb Kettle Bells one each arm
400 meters as fast as you can go

TIME = 3:23

I was super worried about my back.  I probably gamed it a bit to much early.  I was loosing my grip on the left side with about 60+ meters to go and I dropped the weights and took a few deep breaths and walked around in a circle.  Grabbed them and powered in almost at a trot.  I did feel my left leg and foot go tingly but nothing worse than normal.  The next few days will tell the tale.  GREAT WOD!  I am typing this 3 hours later and am still a bit shaky.  I know I can break 3 in this thing.

FAMILY SCRAMBLE

Year number 4 for the family scramble.  We had a great time.  Took an Ice bath last night trying to be recovered for today.  I am still trying to recover from this weeks workouts.  I also strained my left calf Thursday during the hills.  I am falling apart.  I talked to Tom last night. I have pulled my Bicep Brachialis at the attachment in the forearm.  I have to rest it for 7 to 10 days.  NICE!  AHHHHH, Sucks getting old.

Dead-lift NO BELT ON ANY OF THESE!
135 x 1
222 x 4
315 x 3
335 x 1
355 x 1
Very happy with this.  I even built up a pad of mats to stand on so I was lifting more from the same height if I was lifting with a regular bar and not the hex bar.

Dragon Fly's 3 x 10 I 2 x 10 and the last set I could only do 6.  This was killing my upper spine for some reason.
Weighted Ring Dips 3 sets of 10, first set was just body weight, next two I had the 20lb vest on.
Just not feeling right doing these they hurt all over and in the middle of my chest on my sternum.  I am completely wiped out.

WOD
3 rounds for time
10 x Med ball explosions - trying to hit beam on weight room ceiling
5 x Front Squat 165lbs
15 x Bar facing burpees
Rounds 
1 - 4:13

3 - 4:12 
Total time - 14:16
Front Squats were rough on my I had to use the weight belt.  Picking up the med ball was rough on my right arm.

Drive to granny hills 5 x 50 yard up hill sprints walk backward down hill for recovery.
I really did not want to do these. I am exhausted and my arm is killing me. However they were awesome. Daniel and I were stride for stride on them. Man it was fun flying up that hill. Sprint and recovery combined was 90 seconds then we were off for the next interval. Tomorrows day off is much needed.

6/13/12 Hammer Gone Bad

3 Rounds
Sledge Hammer Right Side 1 min
Box Jumps 20in 1 min
Sledge Hammer Left Side 1 min
Dumbell Hang Clean 45lb Dumbells 1 min
1 minute rest
WOD is constructed exactly like Fight Gone Bad.  4 rounds counting max number of reps per exercise.  Your score is your total number of reps completed.
Exercise                        Reps R1      Reps R2    Reps R3
Sledge Hammer RS   -----34------------34----------36
Box Jumps                 -----30------------30----------30
Sledge Hammer LS    ----34------------34----------36
Dumbell Hang Clean  ---20------------20-----------25
Total number of reps = 118-----------118----------127 = 363

Short Rest
Mat slams - We alternated for 1 minute slamming the same direction facing each other.  As many reps as possible in 1 min.  We did 4 rounds.  We did 2 rounds slamming with right arm and 2 rounds slamming with left arm.

My right arm is messed up again.  I can barely move it today.  Not sure which exercise did it but my guess is the mat slams.  My favorite part of yesterday.  I need to take care of this.  Not sure of a plan yet.  I am going on 3 plus weeks of this.

On the minute
Complete 5 Burpees and complete max reps of 135lb thrusters on the minute.
The goal is to complete 100 Thrusters
At the beginning of every minute complete 5 burpees, for the rest of the minuted perform as many 135lb thrusters as you can in remainder of minute.  At the beginning of the next minute perform 5 burpees and then max rep thrusters and so on until you reach 100 thrusters.  Post total number of minutes it took to complete 100 thrusters.
Inside of workout:
Total thrusters - 100
Total burpees - 370
Total squat cleans - 63 I think 

Posting this 6 hours after finishing WOD. I am fried, my knees are on fire and I did not have time for an ice bath. Either way I finished this sucker. Though there is no way I could have gotten it done with out Daniel. Thanks brother! Possibly one of the hardest things I have done. I believe it was rep 94 I stood up from the burpees for the power cleans and started to dry heave. I am not sure how I made it I had tremmors in my legs by thruster 40. I thought there was no way I could get past 60. I posted a fe weeks back after a WOD that I after that WOD you feel like one bad mother. After this one you are just glad you survived!

1 - 0, 2 - 1, 3 - 1, 4 - 2 = 4 = 100
FINISHING TIME : 1:14.34

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finished posting this around 12 the next day.  I have already iced my knees twice.  They are still sore.  Daniel adn I talked I can remember thinking the first time I saw this WOD and watched Ben do it.  I thought there was no way I could do that.  I also was thinking yesterday.  When I first started Crossfit I could barely clean 135 with out hurting.  I have been wanting to do this one for a year.  Finally did it.
All I can think of is, I FINISHED!   Thanks again Daniel.

So much for a day off.  Two workouts later here I am.  I started my day with one amazing morning and did a workout.  I then hit the weight room just to cheer Daniel on and decide to hit it with him.  I promised my-self I would just go through it with out pushing.  I kind of kept my promise I went decent pace but I definitely did not slow as much as I should have.  I really liked this workout even for being exhausted.  Little to no sleep and supposed to be day off I liked this.  The front squats were quite good the weight was so light you could roll pretty good.  I want to do this one with the vest on.
