I love the new class structure. A full one hour of hard work – even the warm ups. I was spent after the GHDs.
105 max weight today (95-100-100-100-105). Getting DEEP an issue along the way, but I finished strong and happy.
Metcon: 3 rounds even. 2 poods for rounds 1 & 2. Fingertips and forearms gave out and switched to 1.5 pood for round 3.
Great working with Ben & Amy. Big Mike, Large Joe, AVA, Jared always strong…
Nice to be back!
Highest weight: 68#. Did 5 reps on the front squat since weight was light for squat but I wasn’t comfortable with the split jerk to go higher.
3 rounds plus a farmers walk with 16kg.
As usual, it was a great time at 6am!
Jerk: 115, 135, 135, 155, 155
Felt good at 135 and got under the 155, but not deep enough. I am going to really take the time to concentrate on really getting under. This lift is all about concentration for me. My push press is 210, so getting the bar up is no big deal.
MetCon: Did K2E, burpees and farmer walks (2 pood) in that order.
2 rounds and 2/3.
Worked up to and then stayed at 115 lbs. Could get alot more over head, but the depth in the Jerk is always an issue.
Metcon: 4 rounds
Fun morning at the gym.
Did 95# for (5 + 2) x 5. I adjusted the workout to have more reps built in with lower weight (per Brandon’s recommendation) to work on the form. My landing still isn’t solid enough.
MetCon: 2 2/3 rounds
Worked up to 53-63-73-83-83 on the split jerks. Mostly don’t feel comfortable bringing the weight back down from the press.
2 rds + 1 carry on the WOD. Started with 12kg 1st rd and 1 pood for the other 2. K not touching Es still but getting closer.
Back Rolls – I am one of those people that can’t touch with the ground with my toes. What an eye opener!
Glad to be back for this week!
5-5-3-3-3 Front Squats
115-125-135×3
2 + 2/3 on MetCon with Hollow Rocks sub K2E

Worked with 63 lbs – up 10 from last time… Weight and landings for the most part felt good. I need to focus on landing with a wider stance because I felt a little wobbly on some.
Metcon: 3 rounds @ 1 pood
3 FS + 1 split jerk: 165, 185, 205, 205, 205
Metcon: 2 rounds + 18 with 32 kg
Not feeling great after a weekend of too much eating and drinking. Looking forward to getting that out of my system!
Also, I think I may have left my BB at the gym. I’ll be back for it tomorrow morning if it’s there.
Highest weight @73#
Need to work on the “long and low” landing for the split jerks.
AMRAP: 3 + FC to Lex with 16kg KBs
175lbs I cannot get the hang of these plit jerts. I just wind up pressing the thing up.
Don’t be a bad spotter when you are lifting! (warning contents NSFL): http://deadspin.com/5939571/russian-powerlifter-drops-400-pounds-on-his-chest-reportedly-dies
5 FS + 2 Jerks per round @ 48#
Couldn’t get into a rhythm on the jerks today so kept it light.
Had to leave before the metcon.

Can someone please email me details for the Wed AM yoga session? I may try to sneak in tomorrow and give it a shot. My email is belbogen at gmail dot com.
Thank you to Brian for going to Shoreline Crossfit with me and helping me get over my fear of visiting a new gym!
5×3 Press 65#
AMRAP press unbroken 45#, 17 reps
WOD listed above by Brian. Not sure what my time was, I thought I had finished and Brian made me realize I has missed around so I did the last round a second time.
Being in a new gym made me really appreciate our coaches and community. We are very lucky to be at CFM where form is important and we have people to coach, teach, and correct us.
Still resting my hammy/butt…ugh, this is not an easy process!
Ran a marathon. It was sub-3 hours.
Actually I take that back. It was 3:58:44. But it started with a 3, so there you go. Ha.
This morning: P90X, as rx’ed.
Strength – 135-165-175-175. Ran out of time. Still need to get lower but what’s new?
AMRAP – 3 rounds plus almost half a farmer carry (2 pood). I did two rounds of K2Es unbroken which is good for me. I realized that I’m giving up too easily.
WOD #2 for today:
Got up to 120# for the 3 front squats & 1 jerk (115-120-120-120-120). My depth was feeling better than it’s ever felt, so I didn’t want to risk going to 125#. Up from 95# last time we did this. This might have been the first time I did not feel any discomfort in my hips (lots of stretching and a few weeks in to the glucosamine & chondroitin treatment). Very pleased.
AMRAP: 2 rounds, farmers walk, 2 burpees. 2 pood was a shit show as my grip strength was basically gone. Subbed K2E’s with GHD’s (I did 75 K2E’s earlier at Shoreline, and my hands are wrecked).
I’m exhausted.
Just giving my take on the new warm-up routine for this week, specifically the back rolls.
No Brendan, I cannot get my feet to touch the ground behind my head… And do you know why?
Because I have no interest in getting my penis (nor anybody else’s for that matter) anywhere near my face!!!! While auto-fe(rhymes with ratio) may be of interest to some of you, I’ll take a pass on it. And please warn me if Auto-Fe Fridays replace v-neck Fridays this winter.
So while I try my best to improve my flexibility with the various stretching exercises proscribed, please understand that my toes will continue to remain well off the ground during back rolls this week!
Terrific, the one stretch I do very well is now the taboo one. Super. Thanks Brett.
Worked up to 88lbs – up from 73 last time
Exactly 2 rounds with 16kg
Pretty new lift for me. 5+3 at 75# allison made adjustments. 5+2 95#, i made some adjustments, got more comfortable. 5+1 115, 125, 125. Felt good, looking forward to doing it again.
