Boxing WOD - heavy bag, Tyson slams, jump rope, butterfly sit-ups

4 rounds - 30 seconds a station
This has a different feel but was fun.  I will post the best I can.  Partner WOD!

Man 1                           -          Man 2
Heavy Bag - go hard    -     Jump Rope
Tyson slams - L/R/C    -     Throwing the T.S.
Rest                              -      Rest
Jump Rope                   -     Heavy Bag - go hard
Throwing T.S.              -     Tyson slams - L/R/C
                   Butterfly sit-ups (1min)
                             2 minute rest

We switched each round Daniel started first round as man 1 then round 2 I was man 1.  We saw a clip of Mike Tyson and his trainer a few months back from the 80's.  His trainer threw a med ball into Tyson's mid-section.  This is what we did.  It was the roughest 30 seconds in the workout.  It was even tough on the guy throwing the med ball.  We had a good time with this one.  Set the counter at 30 seconds with a 3 second count down at end of each interval.  Worked well.
I have done a fat lot of nothing for the last 2 days trying to recover.  We went camping in Branson, went to see Jurassic World on Friday and Jonah Saturday.  Two rounds of mini golf Saturday with the family.  We had a great weekend!

AM - Health class

Ran the kids through a ton of exercises.  Took about 30 plus minutes of constant change and movements.  I had a rolling sweat going the whole time.

AM - Campus CrossFit

I only did part today.  I am beat but wanted to do some.
I ran to the primary and did the 100 lunges and ran back to weight room.
I then ran to the Intermediate to help kids across the monkey bars.  Then ran back to the weight room.

I did not do any of the weight room elements because my health class was in the weight room today and I was showing them a ton of exercises.

AM long ride with the kids

Still riding Jen's bike.  Little bike = sore knees.

Evening log removal at in-laws

After a long day and a rough workout we went over to the in-laws to chop up and move the huge logs to the trailer.  Got them to Sean's and unloaded.  These suckers were so big and heavy we could barely lift them.

Afternoon - Captain America WOD

Complete 5 rounds:

Static Pull or Chin Up Hold at top - 30 seconds
Max Strict Pull or Chin Ups - 6, 6, 6, 5, 6
Hold Top of Ring Dip - 30 seconds
Max Ring Dips - 8, 8, 9, 8, 7
Handstand Hold - 30 seconds 
Handstand Push-ups - 6, 6, 6, 6, 3 - these were more of 3 inch drop.  I can't do these at all

*Perform isometric hold for 30 seconds, kick down, shake out your hands and perform max reps of given exercise.
*There is no time component for this workout other than the 30 sec holds. 
*The goal of this workout is to develop stability in these movements through the use of isometric holds

Set up the watch on 30 second intervals
Started isometric hold the instant the watch first beeped and kept it until it beeped again
Shook out arms while the watch was beeping (it beeps for 10 seconds)
Did the burn out on the exercise
Rested 1 minute between sets
Rested for two minutes after each round
When I do it again, I think 90 seconds between sets and three minutes between rounds will work best. 

AM - Long ride with morning practice

Hit the bike pretty hard again at morning practice.  Covered roughly 8 miles.

Heavy Bag Work after Districts

Got home from Districts and did not want to do anything.  So I decided this was a good reason to make myself do something.  I hung the heavy bag in the tree and rotated through my 3 sets of gloves. I was playing my workout mix and switched gloves at the start of each song.

Roughly 40 minutes of punching combinations working on some speed combos with lighter gloves and heavier hard punches thicker gloves.  9 rotations using the three sets of gloves 3 times.  Knuckles are pretty sore.  Had a rolling sweat by the end.  Glad I pushed myself into this one.

Garden is a wreck.  After the tiller broke I did not get the garden tilled after the growing season last year.  Borrowed a tiller rear tine,  It is doing a great job powdering the soil but since things are so rough it is beating the tar out of me.  My back is very sore.  I have several hours of tilling today to get this done.

Saturday, May 2, 2015

400 meters of lunges
100 meter splits
1 - 2:23
2 - 3:18
3 - 3:25
4 - 3:24
Total time - 12:32

Daniel and I did this a few years back maybe twice.  I wanted to revisit it.  As usual he hammered me by roughly 80 meters.  Good day though.  Hurt pretty bad and was sore by the end but I started running back and forth to yell splits.  Legs loosened up and I feel pretty good several hours later.   I am sure if will hit me over the next few days.  However Daniel and I have been hitting legs pretty hard the last few months.

This is crazy.  I just looked up the last time I did this March 20th 2015.  I cleared my watch that day but guessed the time.  The times are close to the same.
3/20/15
400 meters of lunges
Probably the fastest I have ever done these.  I took splits every 100 meters.  We had done time trials today so I had watches going everywhere.  For some reason about 20 minutes after I finished I stopped and reset my watch.

I think the splits were something like this
3:15?
3:20?
3:32?
2:35?
12:42 total ?

I know they were all low to mid 3's until the last one and it was 2:3?.

Only had 2 left.  One was a shag bark hickory that the sap was running thick in.  As I was cutting branches water was running out.  The trunk was miserable to piece up.  Took for ever.  Either way I am beat.  Glad to be done.  I think we were working for 3 hours to get these last 2 out chopped up and loaded.

Tree removal x 2

Day 2 of tree removal at in-laws.  6 hours

Thursday, March 26, 2015

Tree cutting at the in laws

Climbed, cut, pieced out and carried trees for 6 plus hours today.

Took yesterday off of exercising.  With my shoulders and general fatigue I figured it was not a bad thing.  I am back cutting trees tomorrow.

AM Spring Break Practice Long hilly ride with the boys

AM track practice.  Today was a recovery run so the boys were going long and that means red barn from the track.  I took off slow with the back kids then when they turned I put the hammer down to catch the boys.  My legs are fried.  I sometimes like to forget how much biking on a very hilly loop sucks with a broken bike.  I was reminded pretty quickly.  10 miles total on the road.

When we got back to the track I tried to blast a mile on the bike.  Final time was 3:48 I think.  My first 1/4 was in 51 seconds.  Pride hurt a bit here because that was my High School PR for the 400.  In self defense my legs were fried from the hills. 

3/23/15 Bench Press, Water Heater install

After track practice I fully intended to get a big workout done.  This is what transpired.

Anna and Emily came in to spot.
Bench Press

5 x 185
5 x 225
6 x 225

Shoulders are killing me today.  A bit down from the last few weeks.  Not sure why my shoulders are shredded.  As for the rest of the day I figured I would do Daniels workout from a few days ago.  After benching we had to hustle to spfd because our water heater was leaking water pretty badly.  By the time this was all said and done it was 10pm and I went to bed.  So much for a hard workout.

400 meters of Lunges

400 meters of lunges


Probably the fastest I have ever done these.  I took splits every 100 meters.  We had done time trials today so I had watches going everywhere.  For some reason about 20 minutes after I finished I stopped and reset my watch.

I think the splits were something like this
3:15?
3:20?
3:32?
2:35?
12:42 total ?

I know they were all low to mid 3's until the last one and it was 2:3?.

28 minutes total

We have done this format the last few weekends.  I have been enjoying the format.  As usual these can be as hard as you want to make the workout.  Daniel and I were both pretty tired from Saturday.  We had considered 20 reps, I had Daniel time me on 10 sit ups and then 10 overhead lunges each stretched a bit longer than we figured. At that point we dropped the reps.  The push ups were miserable.  Surprisingly the heavy bag punches were very difficult keeping things going.  With both of these I usually had about 30 seconds rest.  The push-ups by the end I had 10 seconds roughly.

No real work out this week and for many reasons my body was exhausted.  Bench went well other than the first set of 225.  Something felt wrong all over so I racked it and got focused for the next sets.
Workout was pretty solid.  I did enjoy the elements and flow.  Daniel wanted to go heavy on the Turkish get-ups at 60lbs dumbbell.  I really struggled here.  Getting that thing to move was awful.  On the descent it would send me to the floor, rolling back to my shoulders with legs flying up in the air to slow that thing down.  My mid back got tight by second round during the box jumps.  Never hurt just got tight.  Had me nervous but it never progressed.  I really struggle doing fast reps these days.  The med ball box jump burpees were hard to fire fast on.  I can only assume as sign of age.  I am happy where I am right now at 42 years old but I have started to notice some changes while working out.

Rest was to long on this one, which was not a big deal considering how tired I am from yesterday's WOD.   I shortened my rest today to stay a specific distance behind Daniel because I did not have my jump rope today.  Also we would have been jammed on the farmers carry.  Had a bit of trouble with Daniels rope.  I love his rope but it broke several weeks back and he had to retie to the handles.  Several inches were lost so until I could get into a rhythm, it was whacking me in the top of the head.  Of course I was getting frustrated first round because I had not tested the rope yelling at Daniel that he was a dang pigmy and he was laughing watching the rope smack me in the top of the head, announcing that I only had 100 to do and I would get used to it.  It took till round 3 to achieve.

1 minute each station rest is what ever is left of minute when reps are finished.  First round was solid, round 2 got rough.  By round three I was hurting badly.  By round 5 I was not sure I could finish. Glad I was able to finish.
Each round was 5 minutes, total time of solid movement was 30 minutes.  I am posting this 10 hours later and still feeling the workout.  Several of the stations I was able to finish in 30 seconds and move to the next station.  By the end a few of the stations I only had about 10 seconds of recovery before next station.  The flow was good this was just a tough one.

My quads are still on fire 8 hours later posting this.  Splits could have been a bit faster because of the traffic in the weight room.  My stations were a bit split up.  Regardless my quads are on fire.  Daniel and I wanted a leg burner.  (Goal accomplished).
Took the family to see McFarland USA today.  Amazing movie!

Preliminary Track WOD

Daniel and I set up the workout that we are going to do with the track kids Monday.   Movements/rotation was smooth.  We did find a few tight spots and adjusted them.  Things should all be ready for the kids.

Fell apart on the wall walks.  We were supposed to do 5.  I only did that round 1.  I then dropped to 4 so I finished with Daniel to be ready for the pulls.  These were also pathetic.  I barely got my chest to the wall and by 3 and 4 I was pretty much falling down after reaching the wall with my chest.

I am still not feeling recovered.  I am a mess.  I really can't remember stoping a workout mid way through when working out with Daniel.  Maybe 1 other time.  Today I hit round three and mentally and physically fell appart.  My time really did not slip that much but something told me to stop.  I felt terrible not finishing and being there with Daniel.  My quads were still on fire 5 minutes after I stopped.

This was a good one today.  My legs are still toast and ham strings are struggling from the last few workouts.  Being core and upper body primary was a good choice.  I think I am going to need an ice bath to get on top of this.  Did this with Jen today while the girls were working on the heavy bag doing yesterday's workout.  I have done this workout in the past I am almost positive.  Since my search is not working on the blog I might never find it.  It has been at least 2 years I think.

Not sure what was up with Daniel and me this morning, or if it was just a poor workout.  We were both miserable. After round two on the recovery between gasps for air I said let's cut to 3 or 4 rounds and have 2 min recovery.  Daniel groaned yes.  We did one more round and made it through.  I pretty much just wrote down 5 exercises that suck and we put them in an order with reps.  At the completion of round 3 when I hit the floor I told Daniel the only thing that could have made that worse was to have had Thrusters in there.  The positive of this morning -  weather is beautiful and I got a workout in side by side with a good bud.

Not much of a day off

My intent was to have a day of not much activity.  I got in my head to clean out the fence row a bit more.  I somehow ended up with my pick axe in my hands busting up roots around the cedars I am trying to get out.  By the end of the day roughly 6 hours later I was scratched all over and a bunch more of the fence row is cleaned out.  Not much of a day off.

Stationary Bike

30 Minutes Stationary Bike
Fat Burn setting

Hit this one pretty good tonight.   For the plateau of the fat burn setting the workout is at level 10 difficulty.  3 min warm up and 3 min cool down puts you here for 24 minutes.  For the first 22:30 I averaged over 90 rpm's.  The last 1:30 I blasted over 100 rpm's.  The last 3 min of cool down I was still in the mid to high 80's for the rpm's.

Bench Press, FRAN

Bench Press
10 x 135
5 x 185
10 x 225
3 x 225
10 x 135
I have not done 10 reps of 225 for a very long time.  I wanted to do this pretty much just because.  A strange development of Daniels and my new found strength in the bench press.  My left shoulder is in the process of a slow separation.  This has a very solid level of suck about it.  I can only assume the heavier weights on my sissy old joints might just be a bit to much.  This shoulder has a huge knot on it from the many separations in the past.  I guess the poor old thing just can't handle the stress.  Not sure how I am going to proceed over the next few weeks.  I am really enjoying what we have been doing.
