Buttercups:
Three rounds for time of:
pvc-45 pound Deadlift, 10 reps
10 Handstand push-ups
10 Pull-ups
pvc-10 pound Thruster, 10 reps

Actual:

First day with the new lifting bar. boy is that a diffrence!

did the 10x deadlifts with the bar, form is still a problem, i think i'll need those 10lb plates faster than expected and may return the 25lbs.

did HSPUs over the back of the couch.
10 jumping pulupts
and thursters with the curl bar empty.

i feel toasted, i think this is the first workout since like, my first CF (where i ran in the 20 degree weather) that i've felt this empty. I'm sure day two of eat to live isn't "helping" nor the month and a half of slacking. but now with some real money invested and some real motivation, i just want to keep going!

Samson Stretch (do the Samson Stretch once each round for 15-30 seconds)

Monday 080121

Puppies:
Complete as many rounds as you can in twelve minutes of:
3 Handstand Push-ups
6 L Pull-ups
9 Steps, Walking Lunge

If you cannot do HSPU try one of the variations found in this vid:

http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFit_HSPUVariations.wmv or of course:
http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFit_CFKidsDuncanHSPU.wmv

If you are unable to do L-Pull ups do the required number of pull ups and then practice L sits after the workouts. If you are unable to do pull ups do jumping or beginner pull ups and then practice your L sit after the workout.



Actual:* (star=sam)
4.333333 rounds! woot! walking lunges nearly killed me, right leg is not happy :-( but the bad knee seems stronger so yay. Subbed jumping pull-ups for L Pull-ups, need to find something to practice L sits with, going to do a few off the bar now, and then some PT situps.

Sunday 080120

Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

Post loads to comments.

Actual:
Sam did things with me today, we did a 10 minute fool around workout, with butt walks, crab walks, PT situps and PT leg lift things.
Then we worked form with about 35# on the bar, time to get some real weights i think.
Starting to be more serious about ETL so i'll be keeping a log soon, i swear :-)


Weigh In:
215

"Lynne"

Buttercups:
Do 3 rounds:
max push ups
max pull ups or jumping pull ups

Actual:
a totally week effort, a month off has CREAMED me!
got in 7 crappy jumping pull ups per set, and 7 crappy push ups per set. going to do some pt before bed, but that needs to be an all the time thing, so it really doesn't "count" for anything.

------------------------
Starting over, that's what this really is, the last set of solid entries was about one month ago, that's got to change! So today, we essential start over, the one major difference this time is i'm committed to following as much of an "eat to live" lifestyle as i can on top of crossfiting. so we'll see what happens. i'll try to get a weigh in done tm as well so i have the facts.

this was done on thursday:
Puppies:
"Barbie"

Five rounds, each for time of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Sit-ups
20 Squats

rest 3 minutes between rounds.

made it most of the way through, switched to knee pushups in round 3 and 15 squats in round three to alleviate heavy clicking in the knee.

last two day i've been ill. this week has been a total crossFit bust. hoping to do something really light on sunday with the huge head cold going on.
want to start traking the diet as of tm too.

Lazy!

Holidays = lazy paige. i've missed an entire 3 day cycle for CF. that sucks. But now, this year, Christmas feels like my new year, so new habits! CF has been an incredible edition to my life and i want to continue to focus on that, and on getting the right equipment for that. I also want to really go after my diet, it has been completely unacceptable the entire time i've been at best buy, i did a better job working at jiffy lube, which is sad i think. so to that end i'm going to start keeping track of what i eat, probably just on paper for now, but it may migrate onto another blog. anyhow, crossfit total is up for today, so i'll probably do a simple fit once i get the bar up, since i have no real weights.
