6am with Andy

Workout
30-20-10
Overhead Squats (115 for first 21 reps then down to 95)
Push ups
Pull-ups

Time: 19:30

Pushups proved to be the real killer here for me.  I went too heavy ont eh OHS and tired out my shoulders.  Probalby shoudl ahve done ladies RX to make this more of a barnburner.  Still, it was fun and all.

6am with Stanwyck

“Jackie”
For time:
1000 m row
50 thrusters (45)
30 Pull-ups

Time: 10:52

I think this is the first time I did this completely RX’d.  In the past I’ve done jumping pull-ups.  Need to work on stringing more Thrusters together.  Fun workout.

6am with Sam

Warm Up
5x
100 single under
10 squats

Some stretching and squat practice

Workout 1

Overhead Squat 5-5-5-5-5

115-135-145-155

These felt good today.  Got a little dizzy and wobbly on the 145, but overall pretty good. 155 felt great If we had had a bit more time, I think I could have done 10 more pounds…maybe more.  Fun stuff!

Workout 2

Complete as many rounds as possible in 7 minutes of:
7 DB Push Press (45/30) - 30#
7 Pull-ups

Score: 7 rounds plus 3 pull ups

Pull-ups were slow after the first 3 rounds.  Went light on the push press because I knew the pull-ups would go away.  Nice little workout.

6am with Andy

Warm up
rope skipping and pushups

2X
8 Good mornings (45-65)
8 roly poly
bunny hops up and down the gym

WOD 1
Heavy TRiplets - Deadlifts

315 - 315 - 315 - 315

These felt good.  I need to work onm my hand positioning which is off.  The right side of the bar (as I’m looking at it) tends to be lwoer than the left, due to my hand being closer to my body.  Tried to fix it, but it’s hard to fix things when you’re focusing on lifting heavy three times.

WOD 2
500m row sprint
3 minutes res
500m row sprint

1:41.1  and 155.5

Ug.  Terrible.  No excuse.  Suckiness all around.

But glad I did it.  Hugs, smiles, and flowers!

6am wtih Michael

Warm Up
3 rounds:
30 seconds jumping rope
30 seconds KB swing

WOD 1
Box Squats - Heavy Singles
225 - 225 - 225

This was not my 1 RM weight, but it’s close.  I didn’t attempt a 1rm -  stayed here to work on form at a heavy weight.

WOD 2
3 rounds:
2 minutes of singles unders for reps
1 minute rest
Score: 827 reps

The rope kept getting stuck in my freakin’ Vibrams.  This was good but there is definite room for improvement.

6am with Sam

Workout
10 mintue Time Trial on Rower
-1 minute rest

10 Minute AMRAP
3 burpees
6 Thrusters (65)
9 box jumps (20)
- 1 minute rest

10 mintue Time Trial on Rower

Scores:  2437 meters; 4 rounds 2/3 plus 2 box jumps; 2082 meters.

Notes:  First row felt steady andgood.  The amrap was not fun nor was the second row.  Glad I did this workout, but not sure I ever want to do it again.  It’s pretty grueling.  The second row was just abysmal.  I stopped a few times to catch my breath.  I did ladies RX on the AMRAP, but could have gone heavier, though I was not moving very fast this morning.  Good one to come back to after a few days off post-Challenge.  My brain is still jumbled.

6am with Jonesy

Warm Up
some rope skipping

Hip mobility
Box squat practice

Workout 1
1RM Box Squat
225

Could have gone a few pounds heavier (I think) but ran out of time… did sets of 10, 7, 5, 3 and then 1’s.  All felt good.  Really like box squats.

Workout 2
500m row for time
1:35.8 (PR)

took .8 seconds off my last recorded time (in ‘09).  Felt good for the first 250, but felt like I fell apart a bit on the second half.  Not terrible, but my pulls were not as efficient and powerful.  Regardless, I’m happy I’m still getting PRs as an old man.
