Before this was done me and my buddies at Crossfit did some dead lifts. I decided to challenge myself and do some too. I didn't do too bad. I got up to 145. It was nice to get a motivating yell from Matt to push on the last one. :) The workout was great cardio. That was an awesome one. They all are. It is always good to feel alive.

WOD for December 10, 2009

25 wall balls #10

80 single unders

10 SDLHP 14 kilo weight bell

250 meter row/ 232 meter run/ 250 meter row

3 rounds for time: time completed in 18:05

I have quit trying to avoid the wall ball. Why do that? Wastes energy. Energy needed for the work out. Once again, KEEP GOOD FORM!! So I did it slower. I think I can go heavier on the SDLHP. Its a good one. Then there were more people than row machines so we alternated the row and run. I don't mind either. I get good cardio either way. And my big weak spot on this work out was the single unders. Or aka jump ropes. I am a two left feet person with those. Ha!

WOD for December 9, 2009

TABATA

Push/Pull

8 sets of 20 seconds with a 10 second rest in between sets

This totals 4 minutes (feels like more afterwards, trust me!)

Push ups w/ bar- completed 33

Dead lift #65- completed 63

I do push ups with a bar so I can work on form. At the start I was all jello in my shoulders. But it is creeping out slowly. I am trying to move the bar further down closer to the ground to get a more true set. They know how to start you from ground zero here and build you up to where you want to be. But positioning is key. Then the dead lifts are something I want to work on. I like to focus on the correct way to do it. Its an intense thing. But a fun way to release stress. And there is too much of that going round.

WOD for December 8, 2009

30 KB with 26/ 18 weight bell

25 sit ups

20 Waiters lunges with 15 #

5 rounds for time: time done in 24:18

I have since started warming up with a heavier kettle bell. I am getting stronger in my shoulder and arms. Although Kettle swings are thrusts primarily. Sit ups are a big help on my abs. I am always gonna be a big fan of them. I know too many people that would love a set of good abs. I think these butterfly style kind will get it going that direction. I also like the waiters lunge. Its a good favorite with the air squats we do.
