This one was awesome. I seem to have a groove for the wall ball Daniel started before me and I caught him on the wall ball. Rings are not bad. Daniel set them to a height so that I started in knee position, pulled up to start with only toes behind and on ground then lifted body and feet off ground in a dip motion. I hope to get these to a full muscle up soon. I was sick last night at the meet and my back was hurting pretty good. I was worried about today WOD. We will see tonight but I feel pretty good. Great to be back in the room with Bayless seems to have been a while though it was not but a few days.

Five rounds for time of:

20:19

50 Double unders Did 100 standard jump roap

35 Knees to elbows

185 pound Overhead walk, 20 yards Did 135 lbs power clean to chest then jerked over head

This one was solid. Wore me out but still had to sub in some stuff. Still suck at double unders, Knees to elbows again was not great, fatigued fast by second set could barley get legs to arms, by last set I was just getting them to my chest, Back still sore but the 135 lb cleans felt good, 135 went over head fine, once it was up the walk was easy. Still need to work on the double unders. Wierd both Daniel and I struggled with grip strength on knees to elbows, I ended up having to use straps. Clayton had trouble with cleaning I wonder what we have done that has hit the forearms so hard.

COMBO

I have missed the last two days due to a nasty head cold. Workout Wednesday tore me up. I was so sick Thursday morning I missed AM practice. Back still sore today so I skipped out on some of the lower back stuff that has donimated the last few days. I want to do cleans so bad I can taste it but my back is in disagreement. I combined several exercises from the last few days for today. I have also found that front squats don't seem to hurt the back as much.

5 round for time: 17:38

3 pull ups

3 front squats 135 lbs

20 dips

15 burpees

We shall see how the back holds up. I want the power cleans bad!

Lunge 100ft, 50 body squats, 25 back extensions

3 rounds for time of:

10:35

Walking lunge, 100 ft

50 Squats

25 Back extensions

Pretty sick today. Woke up sick for morning practice. Have been sick all day. Bad head cold or allgeries. Whole body hurtsWent ahead and hit the work out hoping to push this through my system. First round of lunge ok then hit squats and was shot by number 20. Back hurting pretty bad tonight too. TIme sucked just did not have the steam today. Been a long day.

12 min, pullups 50 lb, 50 meter sprint, ring push ups

Complete as many rounds in 12 minutes as you can of:

50 pound dumbbell Weighted pull-up, 3 reps Used 30 lb dumbbell

Sprint 50 meters just jogged to save back

3 Ring handstand push-ups, subbed in standard wall push ups.

FINISHED 11 rounds plus one set of 3 30lbs pull ups.

This one was not to bad. I suck at hand stand push ups need to work on this. Used 30lb dumbbell in place of 50 need to keep working here to. Struggled with this as well had to use chain belt to hold the weight this took extra time. Need to learn how to hold at feet or knee for reps. Back was sore from the last few workouts but nothing I can't work through. Neck really sore for some reason. Did this at 10pm after we got back from the Hillcrest Relay meet.

Rows 500 meters

Four rounds for time of:

Row 500 meters 45# KB SDLHP x 50

Used Kettle Bell 45 lb

Round 1 = 1:17
Round 2 = 1:16
Round 3 = 1:18
Round 4 = 1:18

Rest 3 minutes between rounds.

This was a nice short and sweet workout. Clayton and Daniel hit 1:00 or just over. I used the kettle bell instead of the 45 lb bar. Back is a little sore tonight feet started aching in at Nixa JV meet.

"McGhee"

"McGhee"

18 rounds, finished all.

Complete as many rounds in 30 minutes as you can of:

5 reps 275 pound Deadlift, Did these in cage 155lbs. Still worried about back. I flew threw these I think I could have gone at least 195 to 200 lbs. Still worried about my back. I am a little sore now but tonight will tell the tale if I need to stay away from dead lifts.

13 Push-ups These were the easy part I flew through these and recovered during this part.

9 Box jumps, 24 inch box

Daniel and I tried to do this yesterday but something kept poping up. I did not feel right all day today I needed to exercise yesterday. I need to remember to do pushups and crunches on days off if able. Jen and the girls came today. Jen tried and did 7 rounds in 20 minutes with 65lbs on the bar for dead lifts and a 18 inch box for jumps. I think I could have gotten a round or two more in if I had not had to get on the girls once or twice. Over all a good workout.

Filthy Fifty

For time: 25:54

50 Box jump, 24 inch box
50 Jumping pull-ups
50 Kettlebell swings, 1 pood = 35lbs kettlebell

50 Knees to elbows
50 Push press, 45 pounds
50 Back extensions
50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
50 Burpees
50 Double unders

First time doing the Filthy Fifty. This was awesome. There really was not a part of this that I excelled on tonight. Daniel and I decided because of track schedule that we would take the last two days off and hit the next six hard. Knees to elbows I had my knees to my eyes or above but need to work on that one. The Burpees were brutal but I made it through with Daniel giving me goal of number done in small alotments of time. Never stopped. I still suck at double unders and I am still woried about hurting my back again with the double unders. I doubled the number of jump ropes and did 100 one jumps instead of 50 doubles. Back still sore from doing the 7 sets of 1 on Wednesday night. Went to heavy and I am paying for it in my lower back, legs and feet numb an sore. Looking forward to the next time we see this workout to try and improve this effort.

Posted the last month of workouts today. Look to bottom to see April 12th and 13th work out. I can't figure how to post them in reverse order.

March 17th Wednesday

1st day Cross Fit

20 minutes as many rounds as possible

15 back extensions
15 hang knees to chest
15 over head squats with 45 lb bar

Apparently I did not write down how many rounds I did. I wish I had been on the ball with that I will ask Daniel if he remembers. This was a great workout and I did decent as I remember. I am posting this almost a month after doing this workout. Went to failure on knees to chest in last round as I remember just getting 7 out of 15. Daniel said he got 15 plus rounds. I am pretty sure that put me at 11 plus rounds. 15 back extensions and 7 knees to chest did not get to over head squats on the 12 round.
