Holy "L"

Instant Nausea

Just looking at this random selection has caused the Pukey-signal to light up.
70 Burpees? Really?

• 40 Pull-Ups

That can't be right

According to the spreadsheet, this hasn't been the officially posted WOD in a very long time, though we've done several variations or as an alternate workout apparently. Sure seems like we've done this more recently. Regardless, it's:

"J.T."
21-15-9 reps of:

• Handstand push-ups
  
• Ring dips
  
• Push-ups
  

Results:

• Seth - 22:00, last 5 HSPU did not touch head to ground

OK, FINE. I'LL START WORKING OUT AGAIN TOO!

Sorry for my absence the last few months.



Shawn's been hitting it solo pretty hard lately in a more metcon-cardio-centric manner and is crushing his goals. I've been sitting around like a lardass and am just now getting back after it. We've adapted a couple of previous posts the last couple of days. Yesterday, did:

• 30 lateral burpees over step box
• 30 box jumps, 24"ish
• Walk across the gym and up a flight of stairs to the treadmills, Sprint 200m
• 20 L-Burpees
• 20 Box Jumps
• Walk, Stairs, Jog 400m
• 10 L-Burpees
• 10 Box Jumps
• Walk, Stairs, Stumble 800

Completed in Forever:Day

Today, did:

4 rounds

• 5x Power clean (x1) Push Press (x2) @ 115lbs
• 10 pull-ups
• 30 push-ups

Completed in Some:More

Uncalloused

Apparently my midsection wasn't the only thing to go soft during my CF hiatus. I also appear to have lost what callused protection my hands used to enjoy. The over-sized, well knurled pull-up and deadlift bars at the DAC have just destroyed them. Luckily they'll get a break today with this random selection:

AMRAP in 15 min of:

• 10 push ups
• 10 box jumps - 32" box

Results:

• Seth - 12 Rds, 33" box, did jumps first by mistake

Pick ... AND POST

Barely got the chance to look up a random selection workout before the gym, no chance to post. I was trying to be on time for Jennifer's first day at the DAC.
I don't remember the workout; it's been posted before, but listed the Thruster weight at 75 lbs. Spreadsheet has it as:

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

• 10 Thrusters - 95 lbs
• 10 Knees-to-Elbows

Results:

• Jennifer - 10 1/2 Rds, sub 30# Thrusters, hanging knee raises
• Seth - 10 Rds, as Rx'd

Pre-planned insanity

I've been wasting too much time at the gym flipping through the workout list, so I dusted off the workout randomizer today and wound up with this beauty. I'm having reservations about the wisdom of the randomizer already.

5 Rounds For Time:

• 5 Deadlifts - 275 lbs
• 10 Lateral-jump Burpees (jump sideways over bench/aerobics step each rep)
• 20 Pull-ups
• 30 Sit-Ups

Results:

• Seth - 29:42, as Rx'd

What is CrossFit again???

I'm getting something from my distant memory...I'm going to guess...is it a kind of shoe?

It's been a while. Like "two weeks" a while. So I went with a random selection from the CrossFit bible. Not a great move.

"Gates of Fire" - For Time:
50 GHD Sit Ups
50 Push-ups
100 Thrusters @ 65lbs
50 Push-ups
50 GHD Sit Ups

Previous, previous

Results:
James - ??:??, sub regular situps, sub 65 thrusters at Rx'd weight.
Seth - 26:47, sub steep decline sit-ups

Where's me spinach?

Me strength g-g-g-gone.

"Bluto" - 5 Rounds For Time:

• 7 Squat Cleans - 135#
• 15 Handstand Push-ups

Results:

• Seth - DNF, 4 Rounds in 20:43

Making introductions

Ah the joy of doing burpees by oneself in a congested weight room in a new gym filled with strangers. I'm just glad Pukey didn't join in the fun.

AMRAP in 15 min:

• 5 Burpees
• 5 Pull-ups
• 5 Hang Power Cleans - 65 lbs

Results:

• Seth - 13 Rounds
