Thursday Workout

Happy New Year!!!!

Once again, I did another Workout from the CrossFit main site.
Today was 'Murph'... it is one of the workouts from the 'Hero' category. It is dedicated to a lost soldier who was respected amongst the CrossFit community.

This is how it goes:
1 mile run
100 Pull Ups
200 Push Ups
300 Squats
1 mile run

You can break up the Pull Ups/Push Ups/Squats however you want... just get them done.

I did pretty well. I kicked my last score time - so that is always exciting. It took me 44:56

Wednesday Workout

This is an epic Workout that pulls all of your hard work together, into one intense event.
In the CrossFit world, it is called "Fight Gone Bad". The difficulty and stress created from this Workout is supposed to mimic the same brutal exhaustion that 3 rounds of boxing would...

Here it is... 3 rounds, 5 exercises, a running clock.
1 minute each station
You move from one station to the next without stopping the clock
After the 5th exercise (5 minutes) you get 1 minute rest, then start all over
The goal is to rack up as many reps as possible. You total rep score at the end is your FGB score.

I had to substitute the Rower with Burpees, but I don't know that it made it any easier.



Fight Gone Bad:
Wall Ball shots with a 20lb ball
Sumo Deadlift High Pulls with 75lbs
Box Jumps with a 20" box
Push Press with 75lbs
Burpees (should have been rowing for calories, but this was tough)

Tuesday Workout

Rest Day :)

I am surprised... I feel good today.
There is a part of me that wants to do a workout, but I know how critical it is to REST

I am also making some minor adjustments to my diet effective yesterday.
Let's see if that kicks my results into the next level... :)

Monday Workout

Overhead...


Today I completed the Workout from the main site:
Shoulder Press 1 1 1 1 1
Push Press 3 3 3 3 3
Push Jerk 5 5 5 5 5

I felt strong on the SP and PP, but I focused on form with the PJ... I did not find my true 5 rep max because I wanted to make sure I was doing the movement correctly. I even shot some video, which turned out nicely. It looks like my form is pretty good, so next time I will go for that 5 rep max!

Todays workout focused on the legs...
Started with a 1/4 mile run, then headed straight into-
