So it's been a while since I was at the box as you can see from this update. I haven't really been doing much since we had the baby, I still spend all my free time with her and my wife has been recovering from her c-section so I've had to help her as much as possible.
It's getting to the point where I can start thinking about getting back into the grind...I have been missing it a lot.
Got an email Friday from Chris, saying that I was in the 8.30am heat...man I didn't even remember that I was signed up. I think it was Will who made me do it.
Oh well, I am not getting in shape again waiting any longer so I set the alarm and went early to bed.
9-17 - 8:40am
Fight Gone Bad 6
3 rounds:
Sumo Dead Lift High Pulls - 75#
Box Jump 24" (20" Rx I had the wrong box...)
Push Press 75#
Row for calories
Wall Balls 20#
Score: 182
Very disappointed with my score, but that's what you get for not doing any kind of physical activity except changing diapers for 2 months I guess. I still had fun, FGB is one of my favorite workouts.
I was actually super nervous coming in to the gym...silly I know...I even dreamed of doing FGB the night before.
Strength:
3-3-3-3-3
Power cleans
95-115-135-135-155
Some good pointers from Robb and Sarah on my form, it had been a while since I did heavy power cleans, I needed this.
WOD:
12 min AMRAP:
10 Power clean @ 135#
15 squats
Row 20 Cal
35 KB swings 1.5pood
1 round + PC,squat,row
1st round in 6 mins, 2nd round was slower because of fatigue made me forget my form on the PCs. Good advice from Sarah to take it easy and use better form instead of rushing.
Didn't do anything today, so to get the heart beating a little I did 100 squats.

I wanna do more stuff at home when I don't make it to the gym. Gotta read up on WOD suggestions. I saw the "Piston" WOD on the Sealfit homepage: 1000 squats for time. That might be a little too crazy for me right now.

20min30sec
My arms had been sore an entire week from the 90 pullups from "Badger" so seeing many pull-ups again was a mixed feeling. Took it easy with the band, I think my problem has been letting my body fall down from the top of the pullup, instead of lowering in a controlled way, putting a lot of pressure on the joints of my arms.
I haven't logged anything in forever, so I went back and looked at the workouts the past 2 months I had attended.

Comments: Used 65# and a band to assist pullups, and only made it to 27 Squat Cleans of the 3rd round in 40mins before the cutoff. I was in a lot of pain, but I actually enjoyed this WOD. I wish I was lighter and stronger so I could do more pullups unassisted. Going to do the 30 day Paleo. Goal: Lose 10lbs.

First time back in what, 2 weeks? What felt like forever!
Way to get back on track:
Saturday March 3rd - 10:30am class with Will.
Sealfit Saturday:
Warmup:
Jumprope
Tabata squat: Airsquats, resting in squat position. Did anywhere between 6 and 10. Legs got tired fast!
Workout of the Day
50x double unders - Did 150 singles
DB Farmer's Walk to the Rib Whip and back
10x Man Maker
Ritch Street run x 2
15x Manmakers
Ritch Street run x 3
10x Manmakers
Ritch Street run x 2
DB Farmer's Walk to the Rib Whip and back
50x double unders - Did 150 singles
Scaled this to 2x30# instead of the Rx 2x40#.
Time: 40:02
Comments: This one was very hard for sure, The Manmakers killed my legs after the tabata squats, so running was very awkward and slow.
Mobility Workshop:
Great stuff by Aaron. I knew all of the lifts, but there was a lot to learn still mechanics wise. I am very glad I spent the time there. I don't work on my flexibility enough and it's dumb.
I felt a heavy and slower today than Thursday, I can definitely get this time under 6:30! I have never liked running, but I know I can do better than that!
WOD:
5 rds, 4mins each, 1min rest
3 power snatch 65#
6 pushups
9 air squat
Total - 20 rounds 4,4,4,4,4
Still doing women's Rx and that weight seems to be good for me. I might have been able to do the same amount of reps with men's Rx though, as it wasn't the snatch that held me back, but if I had done the 95# they probably would have been.
I'd like to be able to do at least 5 reps each round for a total of 25.
