I remember when my max power clean was 135 lbs. Today I used 135 on the WOD and it was actually not too bad. :)

I love feeling myself getting stronger, but it’s kinda weird not seeing my body progress as my strength does. Guess it takes a while? Any suggestions?

Worked out at the 6:30 AM class this morning since I have work/school all day today until 8:30 PM.

Today’s workout was Helen and was for the leader board.

There’s this kid that I find really annoying… probably one of the only guys that’s smaller than me at the box. I just always see him cheat during workouts, but anyway, right before he started he comes up to me and says “guess your my competition this morning, huh?” I got me mad and I thought to myself “No, you’re not my competition because you’re using a 35 lb kettle bell while I’m doing Rx (53 lb). Also, you’re an asshole.”

Anyway, ended up beating him and making a good time of 9:29.

Time to eat and get ready for a long day.

Crossfit Problems.

So I officially can say that I’ve competed at a crossfit event now.

It was such a great and humbling experience. Even though this was just a small, in-house challenge… it was a really good experience especially for my first time competing.

A year ago today, I would have never imagined I would be able to do this kind of stuff. As cheesy as it sounds, Crossfit has made a really big impact on my life. Since the first time I walked into that gym, the coaches and other people have treated me as an athlete. I love the fact that everyone was cheering with each other and making sure each of us gave all we had. I’m very ready to continue getting better and stronger.

WOD:

1000 meter row

3 Rounds: 
8 Turkish get ups
10 tire flips
12 sand bag to shoulders

 I need a beer.

5-5-5-5-5
Deadlifts

WOD: 
21-15-9

Legs?… What are “legs”? 

Such a great workout today. I definitely needed it after missing a couple of days of crossfit this week. Saturday WODs are always fun.

WOD:
4 Rounds
10 push press (95 lbs)
5 towel pull ups
30 meter tire throw backs
Run around the dirt (about 110 m)
30 m Sled pull 

I stayed at the gym for a while after because Saturdays are the only days I have time to hang out at the gym. I ended up doing a second WOD….

3 rounds of 3 minute AMRAP.. rest 1 minute between rounds.
3 power cleans (115 lbs)
6 front squats (115 lbs)
9 push ups

I’m feeling gooooood. Time to hit the books, then hanging out with the family later. :)

I have to run the mile again. We did a different route yesterday morning that was a little over a mile, so technically I could have a faster time. I’m supposed to go tonight to do that, so I’m trying to decide if it’s important enough for me to do.

This morning’s WOD was….

Strength
Shoulder to overhead: 3-3-3-3-3 

10 Minute AMRAP
1 squat clean thruster
10 double unders
2 squat clean thruster
10 double unders
3 squat clean thruster
10 double unders
……. continue for AMRAP

 I got 7 rounds plus 1 thruster at 95 lbs.
