Tuesday

Well today was a tiring one and not just because of Crossfit. Work was the real cause and let me tell you that trying to man handle extremely large copper conductors while bending them around 90 degree corners is no easy task. I spent all day moving, lifting and bending these monstrosities so they ran parallel and perfectly entered the sub distribution centre. Hard work, but isn't this the reason we train the way we do?

Today I decided that I would visit the WOD from halloween and see just how well my squats, push-ups, pull-ups and sit-ups had fared from my hiatus. I knew this workout would be a "push through failure" set of exercises. I wasn't wrong.

I warmed up with:

50 x 45lb Sumo Deadlift Highpull
30 push-ups
2 min intense skipping
20 pull-ups
50 x 45lb Thrusters
20 dips

Good 15 minute stretch followed by 30 dowel Over Head Squats.

The Workout:

25 Squats
25 Push-ups
25 Pull-ups
25 Sit-ups
50 Squats
50 Push-ups
50 Pull-ups
50 Sit-ups
75 Squats
75 Push-ups
75 Pull-ups
75 Sit-ups

Time: 21min 21 sec

An excellent basic movement WOD. I found the Squats, Push-ups and Sit-ups a piece of cake but the Pull-ups were a ground from about the 30 mark in the second round. Watching the clock and trying to hit a sub 20 was a mind game and I think what pulled me through to 21:21 was the rippin music I had playing in my basement.

Man I love my home gym and I hope I never fall off the wagon.
