Rest Day on http://CrossFit.com

Skill Day on http://CrossFitKids.com

The mainpage of CrossFit directs new people here for help getting started.  CF can be confusing enough for a newbie, we want to make it as easy as possible for them.  We ask you to be courteous and thoughtful of the newbies.

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.

Max rounds and reps in eight minutes of:
4 HSPU (feet at 40in high)
30# DB swing, 8 reps
12 GHD situps

5 rounds + 4 HSPU

Didn’t feel comfortable with 35# DB swings, grip would give up and the ROM was reduced
Used 30# and swings were full ROM

Sunday: HSPU, KB swings, sit ups

1.5 mile run
CFWU
As many rounds as possible in 8 minutes: 4 HSPU, 8 55# dumbbell swings, 12 sit ups
4 rounds + 2 HSPU
1.5 mile run

This was a great workout. This makes me respect the ‘09 competitors even more. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s workout; the final event chipper.

First day back after a self-imposed two week injury break. Chest feels fine, and I even tried a couple CFE workouts last week. They were tough enough on their own; doing this and CFE in the same day will be brutal in that fun Crossfit sort of way.
Worked on snatch form:

45 x 3
45 x 3
45 x 3
50 x 3
65 x 3
65 x 3

I like these, but getting that bar stable at the top can be a bit dicey. I would guess this is because my drive on the bar isn’t clean enough and so results in a slight arc and so some backward momentum that I need to counteract as I catch it.

Cash out with some DU practice. They’re coming more frequently, but I still haven’t made two in a row. Odd timing.

What an awesome feeling last night after coming back from snowboarding for three days, beat and exhausted, knowing I have a track workout tonight and then finding that today is a blessed rest day from Crossfit WOD!  Can life get any better?

Track workout tonight is warmup and plyos

Then

3 x 1320 at 3:40

4 x 440 at 1:08-1:10

5 x 220 at 34 to 35 with attention to step pattern and placement.

then cool down.

Looking forward to X-Fit tomorrow!
