We have too many heroes lost and not enough workout days to commemorate them. I think it’s fitting to always think of the men and women in service, whether military or peace officers and public safety, as we do our workouts. A bit of motivation to throw a little of our sweat and maybe a drop of blood on the floor in their honor.

For the walking lunges, does that number of steps mean per leg? or total between both feet. Btw this is my 3rd WOD. I’m excited about a workout like this! Last 2 days have been heavily strength focused which wasn’t a change from my routines so the filthy fifty should be a nice change!
Also, since its my first metcon (i think this is considered metcon) would you recommend I start at the buttercup level to be safe. It seems pretty easy at that level but I am probably just horribly underestimating it right?

WOD - back squat 1-1-1-1-1-1

Could someone have a look at my workout and tell me if I am correct in saying that this would be a puppy/porch/pack workout? Some of my workouts I can scale up on certain exercises then I have to go back to puppy on others? Thanks in advance!

Warmed up on the exercise bike 5 minutes medium intensity

WOD 1-1-1-1-1-1 Dead Lift

225# - 245# - 265# - 265# - 265# - 265# - 270#

first day ever getting the kip pull up! wow what a difference. so easy but to get that rythym going is tough. i kept kipping up, but failing to push off the bar at the top. note to self (keep practicing this) i feel i could do 25 kipping pullups easy when i get the technique down - BRING THE DAMN GLOVES NEXT TIME - had to stop practicing because my callouses were ripping off

1- 135# clean in to push press (first time ever at this weight)
place bar down then

1 clean @ 135# followed by 5 push press @ 135#

20 kipping pullups broken

10 hang power clean @ 95#

15 upright barbell deltoid rows @ 95# (high intensity next time track time)

4 hang clean - push press @ 135#

4 hang power clean @ 95#

15 minutes light cardio while waiting to pick wifey up at the train station

Hope I still have some left for tomorrows WOD - looks like murder! By the way, weighed myself today and I put on 2 lbs - but I look slimmer since I started Crossfit. What is that?

Lunges are counted as the total between both feet.

I always recommend starting lower than you think you need to.
The WOD will come ‘round again and over time you’l get better at guesstimating your level.

Angie, Back squats

Rx’d 042009:
Back squats:
155 - 185 - 225 - 245 - 245 - 245 - 225
Previous:
135#, 185#, 185#, 185#, 225#, 225#, 245#

My pull-ups have dropped from 25% assistance to about 20%
My running has gone up in average speed. It also feels easier. I was doing 7.0-7.5 mph, now I am doing 9.0 mph
As noted, I have also lost a lot of weight. I have lost almost 20 pounds since starting in mid February. The weight loss is good, but I think that the performance improvement is modest. I think that I will probably have to shell out the cash to see a crossfit trainer. I was making very rapid progress at first in performance, but I think that I have stagnated since the first month. While I continue to improve, it’s not that rapid. Perhaps my hopes are too high. We shall see.

Oh, late entry on the Angie Rx’d 041909:
puppy level
I added on a set of dips, which probably blew my time.
Total was 15 minutes, flat.
blechhh!

I realy like the idea for Filthy Fifty , but the other’s decide that the WOD will be this :

5 round :
5 - Dead Lift / 165#
10 - burpees

it takes me 5:16 min . I do dis WOD for a second time , for the others was - the first time . Im not sure is 165# a good weight for a girl
..but I suppose it’s not hmmm  .

From the main site:

3.4. Substitute for wall-ball throws?

  The “standard” substitute for Wall Ball is either dumbbell or barbell thrusters. Since you can’t (or shouldn’t, anyway) actually throw the dumbells in the air, use about twice the specified ball weight (40 lbs or so instead of 20) and do them as explosively as possible . . . but it’s still quite different.
  Better to follow David Heyer’s directions for a homemade medicine ball:

    1. take an old, or cheap, basketball
    2. cut a slit in it
    3. stuff with sand
    4. sew or glue the slit closed (optional), and then tape up with heavy tape (Americans call it duct tape)

  This gives you a perfectly functional 18-22 pound ball (9 or 10 kg) for under $4.

50 DB Swings 35#              2:59

50 Knees to elbows               5:08   YIKES!!
50 Push press, 45 pounds         2:03
50 Back extensions               2:57
50 DB Thrusters 20x20#, 20x15#6:01 Double Yikes !!

Everything went smooth, decent transitions. The DB thrusters wiped me out and put the hurting on my pushups. Good workout.
