Another good one today! I feel like I am finally "getting" clean and jerks. I used to practically blow out my shoulder when I tried to do them but I am utilizing the leg factor much better now, and thus, can lift heavier.

Strength: Overhead squat 3-3-3-1-1 (45, 50, 55, 65, 65)

WOD:

AMRAP 20 minutes

7 Clean and Jerk (55lbs)
14 dips
21 knee to elbow (my grip was awful today!!! I had to stop after 5 every time to regrip) Ugh.

Finished 5 rounds + 7 reps + 3 reps

For the afterparty we did 3 rounds of 10 tire flips and 200 jumpropes for time. Dang those tires are HEAVY! Finished that in 9:20.

Overall really nice workout. I felt great.

Today was crazy ridiculous. I said words much worse than that while going through the WOD. :ohwell:

7/13/11

"Small"
3 rounds for time (yes, you read that right 3 flipping rounds)
1000m row
50 burpees
50 box jumps (Rx 24", I used 12")
800m run
65:20

I did much better than I thought I was going to do. Based on my typical times vs others I have worked out with, I really thought I would be in the 75-80 minute range. I just had to keep moving...

Thank goodness tomorrow is a rest day. I think I earned some sweet potato hash browns, eggs, and bacon for dinner! :bigsmile:

Bootcamp today, but it was a pretty hard workout. (It wasn't Small by any means, but it was still pretty tiring.)

WOD 7/13
"The 500"
however you want to break it up
*100 situps
*100 kettlebell swings
*100 box jumps
*100 squats
*100 jump ropes (I did mountain climbers)

I did the situps all at once to start, but tried to break the rest up in to 4 sets of 25. Due to lack of equipment, I wound up doing 50 box jumps at the end.

Every so often I come across a WOD that frustrates me to the point of tears. Yesterday was one of those days. I am not sure if it was the WOD that frustrated me or my self-conscious/shy personality. Many people stayed after the WOD and were watching as I finished last (typical, at least I finished :-) ) But sometimes that is the one thing I don't like about Crossfit, I don't like people watching me and then giving a half assed clap when I finished (like they had to or something). It made me mad, sad, frustrated, and I almost cried... Sorry for the rant...

Tues WOD:
800m run
400m run backwards
800m run
400m run backwards
19:40

I have no idea what is in store for me today... Definitely looking forward to a day off on Thursday! Plus I get to see my Dad which doesn't happen very often.

I know this quote is old but I just found this thread and scanning through it I saw this. I did this workout Saturday and it almost killed me! I understand the frustration. My time was 19:09 (slowest in the box) but I was just so happy to finish it. Our 800 m route has a steep hill in it and kills me everytime. I was so upset with how slow I was and how much it hurt. It's nice to see someone who got rocked by that workout! At least I know I'm not alone. Oh and I hate it when people stand around and watch me as well. I know they are there for solidarity and encouragement but I have never liked any attention. I guess I need to get past that!

And btw my name is Kimberly and I have been crosfitting about 2 months. I have never been athletic so this is such a challenge for me. I hate that I am usually near the bottom at our box on all the workouts but I don't let it get me down. I look at the small improvements I make (like using the 20 inch box jump instead of 14 today) and that keeps me going. I am definitely hooked and am excited that I finally found a workout program that keeps me motivated and doesn't bore me!

I did that one a couple of weeks ago. I remember at the last 800m run I was basically trotting...lol...I had no energy left after that one!!

Today's was good again! I just did clean and jerk yesterday and thought I would be sore, but I actually added more weight. Yay!

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
250m run
power cleans (60#)
handstand push ups

Finished in 22:43.

I used to always be the last one for 3-4 months...then I slowly progressed to somewhere in the middle...now I am usually top 5 depending on what the workout is (running is hard but I'm getting better at it). Stick with it, you'll find yourself gaining strength and getting better and better!

Welcome to the new comers!

"Small" looks just plain evil.

Today's WOD:

4 Rounds
10 Deadlift (225/155)
20 Wall Balls (20# to the 10')

Time: 8:59. Only hit the 8' line consistently. Not being able to raise my left arm over shoulder height made it impossible for me to get that stupid ball up.

Did the WOD after a good 4 mile run.

Loving it!

Hi Kimberly. I'm usually the last one finished at my box, too. I'm also one of the most heavily modified. But I come every day I say I will be there, and I work hard and do my best. My box actually named me athlete of the month this month!

It's the little improvements that always make me feel good, too. And that's part of why this works, I think. We start with what we can do, and keep making it a little harder and more challenging until eventually we can do it as Rx. I look forward to that day, but I know it's still a long way off.

Me too! I am at end of the pack and always modified (unless it is all body weight work). I still show up and give it my all.

This morning: 3.5 mile run.

Today's WOD:

Tabata

Cal Row
Situps
Squats
KB Swings (53/35)

Total: 409 (35# KB Russian swings)

Definitely happy with that score. Yes I was doing only Russian swings instead of to overhead lock out (stupid shoulder) but it was the 2nd best score in the gym by at least 10. PSYCHED!!!

That's a good one, I have yet to do a real murph, I've only done one of the 1 mile runs (the beginning one). I think I could handle it this way with the rower though. The rower is great, it really works every muscle in your body! My trainer told us that is truly the best workout you can get overall from a machine.

I forgot to post my WOD from Saturday.. It was the coach's b-day so she made us do Burpees.. AMRAP.. I did 147 in 29 minutes.

This weekend is Murph! I'm nervous!!

YUCK. To me that sounds about the worst WOD possible! I LOATHE burpees.

Oh and AMRAP burpees sounds awful!!! Great job!

Yea, the rower is great for a full body workout, and I think I like running better because I'm stronger at running. I just hope we don't have the real murph any time soon!!!

kerriBB37

WOD 7/18

With a partner, resting while partner does their reps
5x10 pushups
5x10 squats
50 ball toss (I would have liked to use heavier, but we used the 10lbs ball because my partner hurt her wrist)
5x10 jumping lunges
5x10 thrusters

and for our trainer's birthday week, we did 36 burpees. We have the same trainer tomorrow, so I imagine we'll do 36 more then. Plus, it's someone else's birthday on Wednesday, so I bet we'll do hers as well. (Although this is the same trainer who had us do 91 for my birthday......)

10 min skill work ( I did pistols)

"Death by Thrusters" (115/75)

With a continuously running clock, perform 1 thruster the 1st minute, 2 thrusters the 2nd minute, etc. Continue until you cannot perform the allotted number of thrusters in 1 minute.

Yay! I was actually able to do low weight thrusters. Yes I'm supposed to be out for another 2 weeks, but I reasoned my way around it.

Total: 12 Rounds + 12 (55#)

Today:

5 mile run

Followed by:

"Rankel"
20 min amrap
