CrossFit Central WoD: KB AMRAP

Posted on July 23, 2009 by

I finished 7 full rounds + 17 KB snatches. Subbed 100m rowing for the running, which, as one of our trainers noted, probably made the WoD a lot harder for this particular set of exercises. Continue reading →

Since it was Cindy and Nora’s birthday today, we got to do a burpee for each year of the youngest (thankfully) birthday girl. That was 33 birthday burpees (Happy Birthday Cindy). Continue reading →

CrossFit Garage Gym WoD: Terrible 25

Posted on April 23, 2009 by

So, I ended up scaling back to a Filthy 25, and subbed some of the prescribed exercises due to lack of equipment or to accommodate my knee (no box jumps or double-unders). Continue reading →

CrossFit WoD: Shoulder Burn

Burnt my shoulders out something serious. Though I wimped out and only used a 20kg KB, as my form and control of the one-handed push presses was bad. Still had a smoking workout, though. Continue reading →

It was humid and warm this morning — 63 degrees and close to 100% humidity when we started. Which meant that I probably lost 4 lbs of sweat during the workout. I was drenched when it was over. Continue reading →

I am Crossfit WoD: Use those Legs

Posted on January 17, 2009 by

The second and third rounds I had to break up the KB swings and the SDHPs into sets of 10-10. Taking too much recovery time between each though is killing my over all times. Half to learn to just push through these workouts and get them done. Continue reading →

Posted on January 15, 2009 by

The Kettle Bell swings were not too bad — this was my first time to use the 24KG kettle bell (53 lbs) for full overhead KB swings (I usually use a 20kg bell [44 lbs], which is what I also have in my garage home gym). I felt pretty strong on these. Continue reading →
