"WOD the hell was that?!" Ems' adventures in CrossFit


Recommended Posts

WEDNESDAY 22.04.2015


9:30am WOD class


Warm up - 3 rounds of:


200m run, 30 DUs, 10 wall balls


WOD: for time (16:52)


50 deadlifts (50/35) I did 25kg


25 HSPU (I did on box)


40 power cleans


20 box jumps


30 thrusters


15 pullups (I used a band)


20 power snatch


10 muscle ups (I did jumping ring dips)


 


WOAH this was a lot of stuff! I tried to pace it, and think it went pretty well. Really started to hurt by the time I got to the thrusters. I was pleasantly surprised by the ring dips, and I hadn't done these before and wasn't sure if I could even hold my own weight but I did - YEY!

FRIDAY 24.04.2015


Partner WOD


A: 5 min AMRAP - air squats/7 STOH (50kg) I did 40kg


Rest 2 mins


B: Within 10 mins establish a combined total of front squat 


Rest 2 mins


C: 5 min AMRAP - burpees/hang power cleans (30kg)


*The shoulder to overhead is the timer. Partner A will perform as many air squats as possible in the time it takes for partner B to complete the STOH. Switch, rinse & repeat for 5mins. The same goes for the hang power cleans in part C.


 


This was an amazing day. I got a new front squat 1RM PR of 85kg. Everyone went crazy, there was clapping and hugging - it was so cool! CrossFit is so community based and I love it! Really excited to see how heavy I can go.

MONDAY 27.04.2015


6:30am WOD


Warm up and mobility 


For time:


2k row


'Grace' 30 clean and jerks (40kg), I did 25kg


1 mile run


 


Ew running! Fortunately there were more of us than rowers so we got the option to run first if we wanted to. Yes, deffo get that out of the way! Still not fun but not as bad as it would have been at the end! Clean and jerks went well, need to get the bar closer to my body, but coach said timing was good. Right shoulder felt a little sore afterwards, not sure if its injury or just tired. Have to keep and eye on it. Really happy with the row, haven't done a 2k in a while but my PR is 8:03. I paced myself today but really felt good at 1500m so pushed on to finish in 8:48. Probably could have gone faster in the first 1500m, but good to know that even after c & js and run my time is just 45 seconds off my best.

WEDNESDAY 29.04.2015


6:30am WOD class


Warm up and mobility (lots of good mobility today)


WOD:


A: Deadlift: 3-3-3-3-3 (70,70,75,75,80)


B: For time: 21-15-9


Deadlifts at 70kg (I RX'd this bit!)


HSPUs (on box with 2 ab mats)


Box jumps (20") RX'd this too!


 


Great WOD, really happy with all the deadlifts, form is definitely improving and my grip isn't as bad as I thought it would be. In the past I used straps wrapped round the bar and my wrists (I know, it's bad!) so my back is far stronger than my hands, but we can work on this  :) Got fabulous DOMs in my lower back already. One of the girls told me that after Friday's squat PR one of the other girls had been saying what a crazy strong beast I was, and apparently I now have a reputation! Not sure how I feel about that, but its all encouraging I guess!

Nice, partner WODs are fun...and also sometimes miserable.
