Rode Fartlek with the boys on a busted bike

I am posting these workouts separate because my legs were fried after this ride.  We went Red Barn 4 so hills. Bike seat was way down and only one gear.  My legs were toast and it was just over 4 miles. The boys did 5 surges -60, 60, 90, 90, 60.

Daniel did this one this AM.  Good workout with good movements.  The KB sit ups were something new.  I liked them.  (Lay back w/ KB in hand, hand up elbow on ground, thrust up KB and follow with body to a sit up position place opposite hand on ground and hip and extend arm to finish thrust.  Rear does not have to come off the ground.)  I was not warmed up enough when I started this one.  I could feel my self get into this as I was going.  I got faster as I went.  Thanks for the recommendation Daniel.

Round 2 would have been about a minute faster.  I had to help show one of the kids how to do mirror runs.  I also was not in a huge rush taking on and off the weights.  However by round 3 GHD'S I was on fire.  It was all I could do on the last 10 just to get them done.

Just read how to post this - total reps - I finished 442 out of 600 possible reps.

Finished 4 full ascending rounds with 22 pull-ups of round 5.  Goal for next time is to get through or into squats of round 5.

This one was brutal.  I really did enjoy it.  I will do it again.  I was not drop to the floor out when the timer went off but since that point I have been dragging.  After round three I took about a minute to get back on the bar for the pull-ups.  This happened more than once.  Every thing was done to the letter the pull-ups were kipping but full arm extension and chin over the bar to neck.  I really worked on that today.  Body squats were nice and deep and the push ups were narrow being sure to get full range of motion.  This one put the hurt on me.

After round 2, I vowed to myself I would stay under 6 min.  I got lucky.

Daniel came up with this one about a week ago.  We both were looking forward to it.  But by the start of round 2 I was no longer looking forward to it.  It was awesome but brutal.  We were both glad we designed 2min rest.  1 would not have been enough and 3 would have been to long though it would have been appreciated.  Every piece of me is tired right now, and we finished this two hours ago.

Stopped at 18:41 I am toast from yesterday.  My legs and feet had the shakes from fatigue the last 3 rounds.

Still good to be in with Daniel though I was not much of a motivation for him today other than seeing how many rounds he could beat me by.  We chose this one because it had good transitions but also being an AMRAP I could set my own pace.  Glad we chose this one I am beat from the filthy fifty yesterday.  I would have liked to get 12 or so rounds in.  Goal for next time.

Today sucked.  Many of my exercises I was faster than my pr time.  I had to wonder trying to recover before Wall Ball I think I tried to recover for almost a minute before I started.  I did go straight into burpees but they were slow till the last 20 or so.  Over all not happy with today's performance.  I did puke a few times after, good thing my stomach was empty.  Met Jake Sanders, Veronica and Ashlee Hancock and Sierra Wells at 7:30 this morning for this thing.  Out if 6 times completing this workout ranks 3rd fastest. I guess I should be happy with that.

Good one today.  I am pretty tired.  I have gone from a year / fall of little exercise to 23 workouts this month alone.  After checking this is one of my highest number of workouts in one month ever.  I do not want to back down but I think I need to give my self a day, at least of just a good long stretch possibly an ice bath and try and schedule a massage.  This had been one of the worst years for my back with the injury in November of 2012.  I need to focus this year on crazy core strength and drop 15 lbs permanently.  No New Years resolution just a goal and stating facts.  I have had overall a good last 4 plus years from where I was in 08/09.  I want to keep things this way.  There have been points I have seriously considered going back to the surgeon.  Not something I am wanting to do.  Only time will tell.

This is what I was wanting today, a semi hard with good transitions and movement.  I just could not seem to push.  It is crazy since that Turkish get up work out my knees have felt tons better.  Something weird had been going on in there to have that much crunching and pain then better.

First one Daniel and I have done together in a while.  Great to be in together.  Thrusters put the hammer on me.  Back barked at me round 5 rep 6 of thrusters. Must have gotten soft in the core.  I focused, finished the push press part and finished my reps.  As the splits show it was a slow death pretty much falling off the planet round 4.  Try to do some core work tonight.  I am still feeling the Turkish get ups from Thursday even with a day off.

Finished with 500 crunches

I want to hit the 100 rep of the Turkish-get-up.  This was my first attempt at this many TG in a row.  I hate and love them at the same time.  I was pretty worn down by the end.  I think I can get 100 in 35 min.  I will have to check with Daniel and see what his was.  I had been having trouble with my knees the last month plus.  They were achy and lots of grinding.  Not sure what happened but man things had been rough.  The few workouts I have been doing I felt them all the time.  My knees were killing me during this and I could feel everything in them.  After the workout about an hour or so later I slowly stretched my legs out straight and man there was all kinds of noise like leather grinding together.  But my knees felt better after this.  I wonder if I had built up some scar tissue or something and I just broke it down.

Rode 3 miles with Jen on her run.  I had our two on the bike and she ran with Jasmine Boo's dog.

Did this with the girls this evening in the family room.  Girls used 8 and 10 lb dumbbells.  You can see Missy working hard laying in the lazy boy chair.  My bicep muscle from last year that was injured is starting to flair up.  I have been doing pull-ups and have been achy but no more than that.  Tonight sitting here typing I am experiencing a throb.  Makes no sense at all.  I rested the muscle all fall.  Wish I had a grip on what the problem is.

I am almost positive I could have done 205lbs, 10 times.  I was just a bit shaky going up on number 8 and got nervous.  I wish I would have had someone there.  225 went up pretty easy too.  I think I could have gotten it 5 or 6 times.  Same reason as with 205.  Got shaky and did not want to have to dump the weight.

Legs were on fire with this one.  Good workout.  Still trying to get my back better.  The snow days messed up my streak.  All exercises were unbroken for the most part.  First few rounds the squats had a few pauses not really a rest.  Last 2 rounds I pressed the pain threshold and worked on my breathing.  Deep inhale on the up stroke and exhale on down stroke.  This really helped.  I was hurting so bad by the end I was in the cross fit flop on the floor.  Lactic threshold was met for sure on this WOD in the legs.

Back is very sore today I think I made it a bit sore yesterday but I tweaked it this am picking up a stick out by the chicken coop.  Just wanted to keep my streak alive.  100 x 135lb bench press was an interesting twist.  The pull ups were pretty rough.  Toes to rings were pretty smooth.

I had planned 5 Rounds.  As you can see I fell off the planet 4th round and my back was stiffening up.  My legs began to feel like I had been kicked by a horse in my quads and still feel that way almost 3 hours later.  I hate getting back in shape.

Driving T-posts September 5th late night.

Drove in another 30 posts again roughly 80 to 90 shots with the driver.

Just remembered these T-Post Driving in September 1st

Drove T-posts on the course.  Ground is as hard as a rock.  Roughly 80 blows with the driver per post.  I think I put about 40 posts in.

Mid July

Deconstruction of the Deck.
This beat the tar out of my back.

Getting started again.

Going to try and dump some posts in.  This is the longest since I started lifting that I have not lifted.  I am not feeling good most days.  Just draggy and I have little patience for anything.  Good lesson and reminder to get my rear exercising.  Lots going on in our world with kids being active in activities and teaching and coaching.  The loss of a friends wife to cancer has seemed to have taken its toll on me mentally as well.

I will start in July and post what I can remember.

Run, KB Squat Clean-Goblet Squat, Dips, Jackhammers, Turkish get-ups

Ran 400 and my back is killing me so I did not run again.

30 Double-unders
135 pound Thruster, 15 reps - off rack
30 Pull-ups
30 Burpees
300 feet Walking lunge with 45lb plate held overhead

First exercise was supposed to be squat clean with 155lbs.  My back is killing me from sking this weekend.  I thought it best not to pull from the floor.  I did a few reps with 135 and it did not feel very good.  I adapted and did a KB clean from the floor up and in one motion of a goblet squat.  Mimicing a squat clean.  Kept the movement between my legs and centered.  A neat movement.  I will do it again.  I also upped the box jump height.  I did the big black box.  These felt good.  Again with the thrusters I did not want to come off the floor.  I put it up in the rack but still did full AtoG squats to over head with 135lbs.

I started a timer but my back started to hurt and feel out of wack by the burpees.  I just started to slow down and get focused.  

I also did a bunch of ab movements and push-ups at morning practice.  Sets of 25 abs and 10 push-ups.  I think 200 abs and 80 push-ups.

The 40's hammered me so I had to reduce weight.  The kids ran 800 meters.  I did 6 because I am a sissy.  The running for me is the great equalizer.  Since I can't run worth a darn any more the kids just fly past me on the runs.  By the end of round one I was feeling the Lunge thrusters in my butt.  OUCH!  I did not time this but it took close to an hour, even for the fast kids they were closer to probably 45 minutes.

I don't know what was wrong a week or so ago.  This just ate me up.  I blew threw it today.  I think I might try the next level up next time.

WOD
For time:
100 Pull-ups

Splits
1 -  44.16 seconds - First 30 were unbroken.
2 - 7:29 for the next 70, broken into mostly sets of 10
Total time - 8:14

My hands held up till the last 15 or so I even think that the last 2 were the ones that tore me up.  My hands ae on fire.  Daniel ripped open one and had two coming.  I felt one rip deep on my right hand and another under a callus.  Thought that was it until my hands got feeling back.  I then found a total of 5.  With my bicep injury I have not done much in the pull-up category.  This one ate me up.  I am almost positive with a kipping pull up before the injury I was doing 50 plus or so unbroken.  This was prescribed for a kip.  I think my dead hang pull-ups were a help for sure.

Sprints - 50meter Down and 50 meters back, goblet squats, split jumps, KB swings, Double pump body squats, 400meter run, hollow rocks, hand release push-ups, windshield wipers, bench dips, walking push-ups

Took splits but they were worthless.

Did this very easily.  I have just been very cautious with anything putting pressure on my back.  My strength seems to be coming back since hurting my back in November.  I am still just being super cautious.  I will try moving up to the next level next time.  All squats are parallel or below.  The 225 were below parallel.

Total time - 8:38

Had a good time with this one.  I am pretty worn down.  This is my 7th day in a row.  I had a hard nap for 2 hours after the workout yesterday.  This one was fun because Daniel is faster at the lunges and I am faster at the GHD's.  Daniel would pull away on the Lunges and I would catch him on the GHD's, so we were finishing the first few rounds together.  He pulled away at the 9.

Push Jerk
I jacked the splits up.  I combined a set or two and I am not sure which is which.  This is my best guess
SPLITS
21/18 - Combined - 1:07 this seems crazy fast but I am almost positive I did not hit it.  Daniel and I were moving.
15 - 1:02
12 - 1:08
9 - :55
6 - 1:16
3 - 13.06
TOTAL TIME - 5:42

To look at the splits again makes me think something is really messed up.  Oh well I was just thinking the other day that Daniel and I had not done one side by side tp push each other.  This definetly fit the bill.  He finished 20 seconds up on me, but we were rep for rep on and off during the WOD.  My grip was fried after this one.  My forearms were on fire for quite a while.

Squats actually felt pretty good considering we have not squated for a while.  We also did some tall box jumps after each set of squats this was suprisingly sold feeling.

PM WOD - Dumbell Thrusters, Ring Pull-ups, Dips

For Time:
15 - 12 - 9
45lb Dumbell Thrusters
Muscle-ups

Splits
1 - 3:14
2 - 3:36
3 - 2:58
Total time - 9:50

Pretty tired from this am.  My bicept injury is still pretty prominant.  I can not do overhand pull ups.  They light that thing on fire.  I seem to be able to exist if I stick to curl type pull ups.  This in turn has caused my pull ups to suck since I can not do them very often.  

AM - THE ABB RIPPER

3 Rounds
400 meter run
50 Butterfly sit-ups
15 Dips
50 Sit-ups with a twist
20 Body Squats
50 Crunches

AT COMPLETION OF ALL 3 ROUNDS COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING
20 Right side Tire Slams
20 Left side Tire Slams
20 Toes to bar

Splits
1 - 8:47
2 - 10:38 Had to get my bike out of the truck for Jordan and adjust the seat.
3 - 10:55 Ha, no excuse here just sucked it up.
Total time - 31:21

This was designed to rip the abbs and it got that done.  I am typing this a day later and feeling it.  I actually felt good first and second round.  Third round it was all I could do just to throw my torso up and complete the reps.  What fires me up the most is my lady runners asked for an abb ripping workout.

Bench Press, Then BARBARA - Jump rope, butterfly sit-ups

Power Matrix - I went up because I (as they say) mastered the weight last time.  I am exhausted for some reason and really struggled with my 1 rep sets today.  Not sure why other than the fatigue.  Everything was smooth till the 3 sets of single reps.
8 x 135
8 x 170
6 x 195
3 x 210
1 x 235 stalled but got it.  Butt stayed on bench.
1 x 235 failed
1 x 235 both Daniel and I were nervous because of the last set.  I got fired up and when I stalled Daniel put a bit of pressure on the bar.  I fired through the finish.  So I did it with help.  A few months back I was doing 230, 3 times.  Chalk up to bad day.
5 x 200

WOD
BARBARA
For time:
50 - 40 - 30 - 20 - 10

Did not time toes to bar but they were unbroken and smooth. 

Did this with kids in the AM.  Sweat like crazy.  Great workout and fun to be out with the kids.  Ran in my Vibrams.  My pace was slow today.  I think the amount of running I have been doing is taking its toll.

Not a bad evening workout considering this morning hammered me.  The AMRAP squat was supposed to be 225 but both Daniel and I are on back saving mode.  We both lowered.  I went 135 and he was 185 I believe.  Over all I am pretty fired up.  Two WOD's today and I feel pretty decent.  Back has been a little sore I think from the running element this AM.

Daniel came up with this one and both of us thought this would not be very bad.  Boy were we wrong.  Round 3 smacked us both in the face.  Total survival from round 3 on.  We both were struggling with the plate push.  This is usually one of my strong points.  Not today.  For WOD number 2 of the day and the fact that I am in horrible shape I guess I should be happy.  My back barked at me during round 4 after the KB's. During the 1 min rest which felt like 15 seconds I did the spinal twist both sides got a high low back pop and felt better.  Just stayed very tight for round 5.  My legs are on fire but I am happy to be on again.  My right arm is still hurt.  There has been no improvement.  I guess I am going to have to live with this or get a new Dr..  I still have yet to do the PRP because I had to take Alieve this spring for my back pain that I was having.  I do and do not want to try this at $500 a shot I am leary and to boot nothing else that the Dr. has tried or suggested has had any effect.  We shall see.

Daniel did weighted pull-ups while I benched.  Worked on new grip.  I did sets of 4 and 5 strict dead hang pull-ups before each round of bench.  Taking full recovery between bench sets.
Daniel and I kind of did the WOD as a partner WOD with him starting first and then me starting while he was farmer carrying.  My rest was 2:01 waiting for Danile on the Sledge.  Can't get much closer than that.  This one wore me slick on the slams.  50 reps a side is a bunch of swinging.

Long walk / Run Hills - 80 minutes

In Branson at the inlaws for bluegrass and BBQ.  Jen and I woke up about 6am and took the dogs out for a long walk and run.  I tried to run every up hill which in Branson is 50% of the time.  Some were easy to trot and others put the hurt on me.  Probably the most I have run in a long time.  We walked the flats and the down hills.  We were out for 1 hour and 20 minutes.  After the run/walk we went down to the lake and I jumped in.  The water is pretty cold but felt awesome.

Great morning with my wife and a great workout.

We went to SDC and I rode the new roller coaster Outlaw Run.  The coaster its self is freaking amazing.  The cars you sit in are horrible.  Probably the most uncomfortable I have ever been on a roller coaster.  The ride seems to be built for people about 5'6" or smaller.  There is a bar that smashes your shins the whole time.  All the guys my height came off the ride rubbing their shins.  Reason for concern here is that on the first turn and bump my back got jarred and I am feeling it tonight and all day.  As good as I was feeling this am I am pretty crappy tonight.  I have been hanging upside down and stretching as much as I can.  I am hoping for the best.

Sunday May 26th Driving T-Posts hanging fence and finishing the garden.

State Meet Swimming workout and a run

For time
5 rounds
50 meter swim
25 push-ups

Time - 10:23

Recovered about 10 minutes and went for a jog.  I ran up the road and found a side street that ended up a dead end.  The street had a huge down hill.  I ran to the top of the hill and then ran backward down the hill and then forward up the remaining hill to the dead end.  Short rest then backward down the hill and then ran up the hill going out and back to the hotel.

I think a good workout next year would be to run backward down that hill and run back up several times.  Should make for a good workout with a twist.  Have to remember this.

Also we forgot that we did two swimming wods last year.  The one we forgot was this: 5 rounds - 25 meter underwater swim, 50 body squats.  We did this May 26th 2012 in 8:51.

Finished up with 100 regular crunches and 200 bicycles.

Getting more and more sore.  Good to be back.

And So It Begins

I am in horrible shape.  One year ago to date I hurt my arm and it still is not better (at all).  This spring has been horrible for my back.  I have had roughly a month and a half off, almost 2 months.  I am ready to get started again.  It is May 24th 2013 state track meet.  Daniel and I got up early and did a WOD.  Here we go.

On the MINUTE
10 reps of 40 meter sprints up hill in parking lot next to the hotel.
2 min rest
50 Burpees

Walk 400 meters + of recovery.

300 abb movements, 100 crunches, 200 bicycles

Hope this is number one of many to come.  I need this again.
