LT #3 - Strike!

9:30 class was so intense. It was regular cardio kickboxing mixed with lots of squats and some shoulder work with the bar. I can't believe how hard it is to stay with it for an entire hour.

cfwo #38 - overhead squat



Warm up:
Burgener warm up
OHS technique review

3 Rds for time:
TGUs (5 each arm), Walking lunges (5 each leg, holding DB overhead), Slam ball (10)
took me 9 minutes

WOD:
Overhead Squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps

45-45-45-50-55
I could have done another 55 but I tried 60 and failed instead. I need to remember what I learned today. Stay tight and think about pelvic placement (toward wall). Need active shoulders and most importantly don't psych yourself out!

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of “rotate”, the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
Add your points and post them to comments.........I think I got 182 points. I can't remember!!

cwfo #30 - JT

Warm Up:
20 Dislocates
Strict Press
Push Press
20 Knees to Elbows

WOD:“J.T.”
21-15-9 reps of:
Handstand push-ups
Ring dips
Push-ups



I did the first set of handstand push-ups with two ab pads. I was really surprised by myself since I had never done more than 3 in a row, and today I did 15 in a row, then 6 in a row! This workout is really frustrating. It makes you feel like a failure, since the workout is designed for muscle failure. After the first set it is nearly impossible to complete the rest of the workout but somehow I managed to get through it all and my time was 21:07

compare to 9/24/09

400 meter jog
Air SquatBack Squat with PVC
Samson Stretch
25 Back Extensions

WOD:
Back Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

This was so hard to do!! You have to place the bar on your upper back and lift your elbows and squeeze your back and keep your wrists straight. Well, I squatted 100 lbs 7 times. That is almost as much as I weigh! It was freaking hard but I did it :)
