Finisher
1/2 Mile Run at 8 minute mile pace on incline 3.2
Notes: I got 6 rounds in 20 minutes. I did my first “RX’d” workout today. Kinda cool. I am pretty sore from yesterday and I have been going 10 days straight with no rest days. So I decided to take it easy today.
Modified CFWU: 3 x 30 sec Samson stretch, 10 beginner pull ups, 10 push ups, 10 good morings, 10 sit ups
Puppies:
Complete as many rounds as possible 15 minutes of:
45 pound Thruster, 5 reps
45 pound Hang Powercleans, 7 reps
45 pound Sumo Deadlift High-pull, 10 reps
Results: 8 rounds
Notes: My grip was fried, everything else felt good. I’m not sure why it felt so taxed after the 2nd round. Next time I’d like to crack 10 rounds on this WoD.

Was aiming for 20 min but my forearms gave out.. 11 rounds in 16:13
Last time I used 50# and got 8 rounds in 15 min so I’m not sure if I upped my power or not, probably though because by reducing weight I was able to stay at a higher intensity. This WOD owns my ass.
Just did “Cindy” today as rx’d. New PR at 20 rounds (in 19:51…just made it!), All the kipping lessons paid off from my personal trainer at CF Pleasanton, as I was able to do all the Pull-Ups unbroken this time. Last time, the pull-ups were killing me; plus, I didn’t go down all the way for all of them (maybe 90% down because I didn’t know how to kip). This time I definitely went down all the way for all of them, but, for some reason, the pushups were killing me this time. In any case, my entire right wrist and bicep is cramping up on me now and I can’t even type unbroken.
Compare to 8/7/09, Fri., 18 Rounds.
I also tore the same patch of skin under my left middle finger that had just healed from Death by Pullups on 8/16 (CRAP!). Anyone have any advice as to how to either let this heal faster or to prevent tearing in the future???? THANKS!
