Begin Again

Gonna make a concerted effort to try and get this back up and running. We have not stopped doing CrossFit, just got lazy and stopped posting. Have many, many workouts in the bank to post, but I think I'll hold off on bombarding the blog with them all and slip 'em in when I can. Snell is still an animal.

Ass Kicker

Decided to give the boys and girl a little something to test 'em on this one. Knew it was gonna be a little long, but we need to switch it up every once in a while. It's 5 rounds for time:

Hero workout of your choice

Today WOD was a 9/11 tribute to the Hero's. There are a lot of Hero workouts to chose from. Here was my choice.
"Daniel"
For time:
50 pull ups
400m run
95lb thrusters 21 reps
800m run
95lb thrusters 21 reps
400m run
50 pull ups

Three rounds of:

Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20" box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

The Stain

Take it easy, I'm talking about a sweat stain you foul minded gutter dwellers. It takes alot to get "The Body" Snell to perspire, but this one did it. We will revisit this workout somewhere down the road again and compare times. Workout, players, and times appear below. For time:

Row (meters) - 400/400/500/400/400
Push Ups - 5/10/15/20/25

Return of an old friend.

Went back into the archives to see how we stackup from a workout of days gone by. I found one from May 11th. Workout is below with results of today, and results from May next to them.

25 minutes timed, count your cycles done in that time.

Row - 500 Meters
Push Press - 15 (75 lbs; Tucker 45 lbs)
Wall Ball - 20 (14 lbs; Tucker 10 lbs)
Sit-Ups - 25
Burpees - 20

Harryman - 4 + 1/5. May 11th = 4
Snell - 4 complete. May 11th = 3 + 3/5
White - 5 complete. May 11th = 4 + 3/5
Tucker - 4 complete. Not present May 11th

Tetsall did the workout on his own at station 5. Remember he just got back from 1 month off and self admits he needs to work himself back into "shape".

Tetsall - 2 + 3/5

Proofs in the results. We've all improved our results for this workout. Thank you CrossFit.

CrossFit Total

This seems to be showing up a lot lately. 3 attempts at each of the three lift to get a one rep max. Add all three weight together to get your CrossFit Total.

Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep

What a nice "Chipper" workout

Today's WOD was a great mix of sit ups, back extensions, thrusters, and pull ups here is how it went:

10 GHD sit up
10 Back extensions
75lb thrusters 30 reps
50 pull ups

30 GHD sit ups
30 back extensions
75lb thrusters 20 reps
35 pull ups

50 GHD sit ups
50 back extensions
75 lb thrusters 10 reps
20 pull ups

25:16 was my time. The thrusters were scaled back from 95 pounds.

It's All Above The Belt

Found my notes from the missing post from a week ago. It's a pretty good upper body workout. Christy Warren stopped in to join today and have a go at it. The time element of the workout is the rower. He/She rows for 1:20 while the other player(s) perform reps at a station. Count your reps and write it down, the workout is TWO rounds, you alternate between rower and a station. After you complete the FIVE stations, you get a two minute break, and repeat the workout. Curls were 45 lbs, Push Presses were 75 lbs for Harryman/Whitey. Christy did 35 lb curls and 65 lb Push Press. Sit Ups were on the GHD machine.
