So a small sleep in this morning

Weight was 89.3 again.... geez

weight then 89.8 again

Today - a very hard strength WOD
10 RFT
- 3 weighted Strict Pull Ups
- 5 Strict Pull Ups

Well - that OK until we found out that if you dropped off the bar then the round didn't count....
So - most of the class finished with zero, yep 0...
I managed TWO scaled....band and a smaller weight(4kg)

We finished with a killer 3 round Finisher (Plate burpees, KB Swings, Plate OH Lunges - argh!)

Weight this morning 89.3

19 August, 2013

THIS TIME - Do it right...

Look closely at the amount of "other food" I consume.  Make sure my dinner plate isn't loaded high and definitely no seconds

Tonight I'm organising hamburgers - So I'll make healthy burger meat patties, and I'll have that with salad and some sweet potatoes - yum

Todays WOD - was a killer...
"Roy" (I think)  5 RFT
- 15 Deadlifts
- 20 Box Jumps 24"
- 25 Pull Ups

I did the DL with 70kg (Rx was 100/70)
Rx'd the rest
Time - 31min !!!  Shit Maree did it in 21.??  and she had 70kg

I did all the pull ups in sets of 5 - these slowed me down the most - the first round was hard before I found my second wind

Weight 89.8 - LETS GO.... low 88's is the target - but still have energy

16 August, 2013

It's Friday

Went to the TCI training last night and did a Masters program alongside the full on Rx crew
IT WAS FUN - AND HARD!!!

1.  Back Squats 50% of 1RM 3 sets of 10 the 1 set to Max Effort (I managed 31 !!)
2. Power Snatch 7 sets of 7 every 90sec - that got the heart going 40kg bar

Weight this morning 89.8  - huge weight off over last 24 hours




14 August, 2013

Weight the same again (just)

Scales 90.9  argh!!!  My fault...

WOD  Clean and Jerk
1 RM  Did 5 lifts - got it to 75kg  still not dipping under bar - if I did then I could easily go up

30 KB Swing Buy in
21 Plate Burpees / 21 OH Plate Lunges
20 KB Swing Buy in
15 Plate Burpees / 15 OH Plate Lunges

Weight 90.8

WOD - "Cindy" 10min EMOM
- 5 Pull Ups
- 10 Push Ups

Managed to get further with this than ever before...I used to get stopped at around the 4th round - now did 8, before the rest round
9 rounds total(i.e. only one rest round due to not completing)

12 August, 2013

and so we start another week - goal 88.8kg

Weight this morning 90.8... so 2kg to lose (say by Saturday)

This morning
WOD "Michael" 3 RFT
- 800m run
- 100 "Swimmers"
- 50 Situps

my time 26.21
My running isn't good - I need to work on my calves specially the right side - it gets tight and a little twisted
For this WOD I should have had running shoes instead of the nanos


09 August, 2013

Rest day

Quads are needing a rest.  I could do a half-arsed WOD after warming the quads up (like yesterday) however that's not going to help.

Went to the TCI training session last night to watch and support the other 2 masters who are going to The Mount

I also want to go skiing tomorrow so need my quads firing properly for that

Weight this morning - 90.2  not sure what's going on - not eating that much but weight not coming off.  Didin't drink much water yesterday and I know that isn't helpful

07 August, 2013

Still feel smashed but did the WOD anyway

Quads feel shredded...

WOD: "Elizabeth" 21 - 15 - 9  (12min cut)
- Full squat cleans (Rx60/43) um I did it with 40kg
- Ring Dips (use the lightest band - too many to get through for the cutoff)

Time 11.44

Weight - not telling as scumbag scales added 2.3kg from yesterday - clearly wrong

06 August, 2013

That smashed me!!!

So I decided to go to the Crossfit classes this week, instead of those called "Boot Camp".  That meant going to the 7.00am class this morning

The workout was similar to the Bootcamp one just harder!!!

WOD 35min cut
- 100 Pull Ups
- 100 KB Swings ( I did 80)
- 100 DU's (I did 80)
- 100 OH Squats (I did 80 with 35kg)

Time 34.48 !! and I was wiped out
The Pull Ups took over 12 mins - If I could have done those in under 10 then doing all 100 reps each would have been possible
My forearms were smoked after KB swings which made flicking the rope around quick tricky and slow(lots of stops)

Weight this morning 89.4 Good

05 August, 2013

Sorry - been busy with work - now a new week

Well I did do Crossfit for the last two days of last week, AND it was good
