Muscle Clean Doubles


14 Sep 13 (Sat)

     Warmup
     500m Row

     7 Rounds
     2 Muscle Clean  (95lb, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145, 155)         ***  155lb = close to max

     Cooldown
     500m Row

  Simple day. Removing the CF Football strength-element does indeed simplify and shorten the WODs. Doing just the main-site WOD is supposed to be plenty to be super-fit if done with high intensity. We shall see if that holds when scaled drastically for knees.  :P

  Rowing machines (2) in gym are pretty old and used, but still work okay. I think I'll vary the warmups & cooldowns more.

Row & Press


13 Sep 13 (Fri)

     Warmup
     500m Row

     5 Rounds
     200m Row
     10      Overhead Press  (75lb, 75, 75, 65, 55)

  Light day.

  Going with regular Crossfit.com main site or CrossfitMom for awhile. Starting back up without the strength component of CF Football to ease back in, and take about 50% off of the time in-gym.

Squats, DB Snatches, & Pullups


11 Sep 13 (Wed)

     Warmup
     500m Row

     Strength
     5RM Box Squat  (to 155lb)

     AMRAP in 10min
     5 1-Arm DB Snatch (R)  (25lb)
     5 1-Arm DB Snatch (L)  (25lb)
     10 Pullups                    (assisted -130lb, 130, 140, 140, 150, 150)
     ***  6 rounds total

     Cooldown
     500m Row

  Rest did some good, I think. The 155lb squats felt quite comfortable: still a bit heavy. Good form on the snatches, I thought.

  No bumper plates at the new gym: just iron. Which is fine.

  Okay, 2-3 week break to move. Now living in Anacortes. Nice town. Joined Thrive Fitness, just a little local gym. There's actually a CF box in town, but I can't afford it just now. Eventually.

  Kept weights pretty light, but still had good intensity. Much sweat & breath.

  Motivational picture today to re-start workouts. A saucy wench. Nice.
