DEATH BY SIT-UPS

DEATH BY SITUPS (NEW PR) by 1 round - 31 Rounds and 496 Butterfly sit-ups.
1 sit-up the first minute, 2 the second, 3 the third, so on until you are unable to complete specified amount in 1 minute.
31 Rounds = 496 Butterfly Sit-ups, feet not anchored.
Pretty much exactly like last time.  The first 18 or so rounds are pretty smooth.  Around 22 rounds things got tough and it happens all at once.  Having a goal from last time really helped.  I did not have a ton of time after the 30th round (i think 10 seconds), but I was determined to get 31 rounds.  Finished 31 rounds and had 4 seconds left. 
1 minute after I finished I had to run to the bathroom for a session of puking.  This one got me for a few days last spring.  We shall see. Good to start off the new year with a WOD and a PR. 

A few years ago my new years resolution was to do crunches every day.  I hit over 101,000 crunches outside my cross fit work outs in a year.  My goal is to hit that again.  I also want to hit 100 push ups a day.  We shall see.

Later in the evening
500 Crunches
100 Push-ups

2/25/12

Death by Sit-Ups 30 Rounds = 466 Butterfly Sit-ups, feet not anchored. 1 sit-up the first minute, 2 the second, 3 the third, so on until you are unable to complete specified amount in 1 minute.
The Death by sit-ups was tougher than I had anticipated. Rounds 1 - 18 or so were no big deal then it got tougher and tougher. By round 22 I was beginning to wonder if I had enough steam to get to round 30 which was my goal. I got to round 30 and had 10 seconds before I was to start 31. I thought I could get it done but I was hurting. I got one rep at the minute marker and realized there was no way. I was toast.

Front Squat, 60 yard shuttle run

On the minute for 8 minutes
2 Front Squats (supposed to be body weight) I did 155 back is hurting and just getting back.
60 yard shuttle run, 30 yd down 30 yd back

This was really fun.  Daniel and I set my watch to chime every 30 seconds which is just about how long it took to complete a session.  As I was finishing my run Daniel started his squats so we were trading perfectly.  Great quick WOD with a bud.  Played it safe with the squats with my back and just getting started again.  I am also still pretty sore from Friday.  Not sure how other than trying to get out of my coveralls before the WOD and I pulled a muscle between my shoulder blades on the right side.  That sucks.

5 hours in the car today and 3 2 days ago.  My back is killing me.  The truck is falling appart and is making a tremendous noise.  I got home and had  crazy head ache.  The workout hammered me but I did get rid of the headache.  Man I was whooped I was having a hard time staying on my feet by round 3.  The climbs are rough.  I tore up my hand.  I am sitting here 2 hours after I finished and am having a hard time keeping my eyes open.

Late night WOD Bayless Thanksgiving Day Special on Dec. 20th/21st

Shoulder and hand were not very happy about this.  Pushups were not as deep as I would have liked early but got better as range of motion increased.  I am going to be hurting tomorrow.

Did this around 10:30 on Thanksgiving night. The girls were watching Dirty Jobs and I was doing this. Jen was at Wal-mart fighting the crowds for some deals. Did this last year with Jennifer in Boo's basement. Her basement was loaded with cat hair. I remember being in pretty bad shape by the end. Did not get the abbs done that needs to change soon. Still suck at push-ups need to start doing those and abbs again nightly.

2 - 4:40
3 - 7:56
Total Time - 17:53 with the rest.

Finished with 500 crunches.  Slow and steady.

By the third round the bench was killing me.  My left hand is on fire holding the bar for bench.  Pretty sure it is broken.  Not to mention I am in terrible shape.  Dead Lift always takes it out of me if I try and rep even at low weight.

Arm is still jacked, even after the cortisone injection.  Going in for the PRP injection on Thursday.  For $500 a shot I can only hope this cures it.  I also crashed on my bike this weekend trying to exercise the dogs one at a time.  I dang near saved it when at the last second I went over the handle bars and caught my self on my hands.  I am pretty sure I broke my left thumb down by the wrist.  Probably just a chip or small fracture there is a deep bruise and feels like every other broken finger I have had.  My left shoulder is pretty jacked and sore from jamming it when my hands hit.  My guess is that I am going to have to have my left shoulder re-done and cleaned out within the next year.  I was told about 9 years ago that it will go at some point.

12/16/12 Biked with Dogs (Sunday before Steal your Dollar City)

4 miles with each dog Went toward Francka Bridge.

So a total of a 8 mile ride for the morning.

Crashed with Missy.  She stopped and the bike jumped around.  I thought I was going to save it till the very last second when she got in front of me.  I hit hard and I am pretty sure I broke my left thumb at the wrist.  I popped my shoulder pretty good when my hands hit jamming it.

Holy cow I don't feel bad after these.  I am tired and I seem to get my wind back pretty quickly.  During the WOD though I am toast.  I just hurt all over.  Got to get lungs back in shape.  As with everything else

did 5 curl ups and 5 pull ups today testing the arm.  Does not hurt near like it use to but it is in no way better.

Hopefully on the Road Back

5 x 205lbs

I am as out of shape as I have been in the last 3 years.  Got to snap out of this.  To much to do and not enough hours in the day.  Being injured does not help.  Arm is still jacked.  I got a steroid shot Monday and it still seems to not be working.  Got bill for MRI today for this bicep stuff.  Holy cow not sure what we are paying the insurance company for.  They paid roughly 35%.  Worthless.

Broke down and set up new dog fence

Pulled up and re-drove roughly 50 fence posts today.  Re-strung the dog fence.  I am worn out.  Good workout swinging that post-driver.  Took 5 hours to finish the fence.

It has been 25 days since I last worked out.  I promised myself I would not let this happen and it did.  Just had my priorities on Coaching, and wife and kids, in the in the right place but just could not find time to get a WOD in.  Hopefully I can get that changed.  We shall see.  Things have been pretty stressful lately.  Trying to coach my kids to an amazing season, stress at work, Doing CPR to Nurse Kristy and wondering if she was going to make it and just life in general has me worn slick.  From the Nurse Kristy incident on the 16th of this month I have lost 10 lbs.  I was down to 185lbs last Thursday.  This is not the kind of weight loss I am needing.  Not getting to workout with Daniel or see Clayton or Ben in the weight room for fellowship even for a few minutes is wearing me thin.  Time to get things together.  State is this weekend, I pray for the best for my kiddos and to get things back in balance.  I turn 40 in December.  I vowed to be at 178lbs by then with working out.  Don't think I can do that in a healthy way but I will get as close as possible.  My back has been back to hurting with out regular workouts.  Time to get right.
