This is the end of my first full week back to the gym. I haven't been working out a whole lot. Everyday I do what I can within the limits of full range of motion. I was excited about the push-ups with the bands 'cause that allowed me to do full chest-to-floor pushups. Yay for scaling! I can't wait to get back at it next week.
8 April 2011
Still sick; I'll be back Tuesday 6 am
7 April 2011
forced rest day; woke up exhausted after 10 hours of sleep with a sore throat
**plan to R&R today at work to prep for the 6 am class tomorrow**
6 am class with Scott - (2nd day back, incredibly sore from Tuesday)
"Crossfit Warmup" - 3 rounds (10 rep//move) - 10s samson stretch/leg, OHS w/pvc, abmat sit-up, back-ext, pull-up (green band), ring dip (purple band)
skill building - push press 5X3 (#40X4, #35)
finisher - 100x push press #15 *200m run + 5 burpees if stop/out of rack (11:30 and ran 2x (2X20, 20+10, 15+15))
I'm still in pansy-mode with the weights but will incorporate body weight & sprint WODs on LLF-off days. While #15 may have been on the light side for the finisher, my right wrist wasn't feeling too hot.....note to self...work on developing grip strength and flexibility on LLF-off days too.
rest/slacking
- adjusting allergies & extremely sore psoas/hip flexors/etc from running....don't normally run so much and need to adjust/train-up to running more
3/29
Dipsea Trail (again)
Ran from the real start point at the Depot Bookstore all the way to the beach parking lot....
2:10 (didn't watch the time and was surprised we took sooo long)
- developed a serious muscle spasm in my abs and need to work on this....
Some guy was walking quickly and lapped us...made us look bad. We're gonna do the double-dipsea in a couple weeks and will shoot to have it done <4 hours.
KB swings were surprisingly difficult for me today. That 1 pood felt really heavy. It's been too long.
*snatch practice
WOD - "Snatch Breakdown"
AMRAP in 20 min - 10 rounds at #45
5 snatch grip deadlifts
5 hang power snatches
5 overhead squats
I went in thinking the overhead squats were going to kill me but it ended up being the hang power snatches that did me in. My forearms fatigued way too quickly. I need to work on my grip for a number of different exercises. I think I'll pick up a pair of those hand grips to get that progress going. My weak grip is a problem for all bar work as well as my pullups.
