Atropheee

Jerk
3-2-1

Press
3-2-1

Legs and low back were pretty tight today, but got to the box a lil early and warmed-up fairly well. Ran with ye olde split jerk on these and tossed up 160x3, 175x2, and 185x2 (10# PR). I went for 195 on the 1x and failed... 3 times. Soooo close tho! Tweaked my back a bit on the second 185 catch and think that was holding me back mentally. I rolled it out immediately and it's a wee bit tight now, but its ok.
Press was a joke after all the jerk... think I did 95x3, 105x3, 125x2, and 105x4. Shoulder strength is still pathetic. Dunno how I've survived this long.

Looky Looky LuLu

AMRAP in 5 min:
Row 1000m
AMRAP burpees in the remaining time

Rest 5 minutes

AMRAP in 5 min:
Row 1000m
AMRAP DB Squat Clean (45#/30#) in the remaining time

Then, Overhead Squats:
3-3-3-3-3

Did a quick warm-up then got divided into 2 groups for the WOD. Unfortunately, I was in the group that had to do the met-con first... no bueno. Kept my average speed right at 1:40/500m
for the first thousand then snagged 27 burpees. Speed was in the 1:50's/500m for the second thousand and wrenched out a measly 7 squat cleans after that.
I had hoped to PR on OHS's today, but after the met-con my goal was just to meet my last PR of 155#. We used kilos so technically I only nabbed 154#... but I'll take it.

Weight: 170.9

Don't I Know You?

"Cindy-ish"
AMRAP in 2o minutes of:
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats
Every 3 rounds do 3xdeadlift at 80% 1rm

Interesting twist on the WOD today... funny thing is I've only done one legit Cindy and I think it was at the very begining of my CrossFit adventure. I need to bust one out so I have a true baseline. Today would not have been a good time to attempt that though, it was stoopid full at the nooner today. Space on the pull-up bar was LIMITED. Heck, I could hardly find a spot on the floor to do push-ups. Add to that the new "hands-off" standard on push-ups and my shitty score today starts to make a little since. I was only able to knock-out 13 rounds, 5 pulls, and 6 pushes before the clock ran out. I did the deads at 280#.

Carrie Carried Me

Two rounds for time of:
70 thrusters (155/105lbs.)
50 chest-to-bar pull-ups
100 meter buddy carry

Rolled with Dave, Jaimie, and Carrie on this and it was a lot of fun... more fun than I would have anticipated anyway. We scaled the thrusters to 135 and the gals scaled to 85. Total time was 17:11. Carrie threw down on the thrusters doing sets of 3-4 while the rest of us did doublets. I'm guessing I did somewhere between 20 to 30 thrusters all in all. Gotta say it was kinda weird being carried by a girl... but still better than being on Dave's backside.

Nine Ten

"Amanda"
9-7-5:
Muscle-ups
135# snatch

Scaled those darn snatches to an even 100# and they felt pretty good. Dave noticed my form and commented that I had several solid catches. Muscle-ups were def the limiting factor at this weight. Gotta say watching the big dawgs do this at 135 (and sub 7min) was more than impressive.

Total time was 9:10

Redux Sux

Jerk
3-3-3-3-3

"Jason"
100 squats
5 muscle-ups
75 squats
10 muscle-ups
50 squats
15 muscle-ups
25 squats
20 muscle-ups

Only got to 175# before we ran out of time... I was feelin good at the 175, my split was quick and stable today. Maybe could have nabbed another 10# on the heavy 3? Maybe more? Still definitely a PR for me.
I sucked ass on "Jason" though, came in an easy 6 minutes slower than my last attempt at this WOD. I'm not real suprised... training has been incosistent and diet has been anything but clean. Think my final time was 24:?? rx'd. Pathetic. OTTNO

After today (and today's news) I really feel its time to get back in it... I think I found my mojo. My libido. My life force. My essence. The right stuff. What the French call a certain... I don't know what.
