6-Week 100 Push Up Challenge

Week 1 - Day 2

12-12-10-10-Max (:90 sec rest btw sets)

(25)/69

Felt faster today on the first 10-15 of the last set. Hopefully that is a good sign. It definitely feels like enough PU work, hopefully it doesn't turn into too, too much. I'm glad I am doing all of my push ups chest-to-deck. So tired of looking at "Army" and "AMEDD" push ups...

CFWU

4 x 800m Run (rest exactly 3 minutes between each set)

13:19 - 14 seconds slower than last time but I ran better than I felt. Didn't get nauseas by the third lap either. All in all, not bad. Might look at adding an occasional running WOD on Sundays depending upon how I feel. Been feeling pretty smoked lately, probably time for an easy week (not for my students though, gotta start tightening up the screws...LOL!!!!)

21-15-9 of the following:

OH Squat (95#)
Burpees

10:54

Got through the first round in 5:00, the second in 4:00 and the last round in under 2:00.  Burpees killed me as usual.  Yeah Burpees!!!

Stuck with 65# because my OHS is not there yet.  I did get all 21 done in one set so I guess it is there...dangit.  Should be great fun for next time.  Not.


Look for my six-week 100 push up challenge info coming soon!

Tried to take it easier on the runs and save some for the calesthenics. Still came in on the first 400 at 1:41, 1:50ish for second one and 2:11 for third and 2:15 for last one. Squats took 1:10 or I would have had 16:30. Pull ups destroyed me (again) even with the large Woody Bands. Can't imagine doing this one as Rx'd. Ouch. Another great workout though. Loving the variety. Beat this one by 31-sec since the last one in May (17:11) and 21-sec since March (17:01).

Got 11:22 in May.

Smoker today, was shooting for 10 minutes flat with 4 min for first round, 3 for second and 2 for last. First round got me. First 7 thruster were pretty good but the last set of 7 really gassed me. Make that the last set of 5 & 2. Felt pretty good though, put together two sets of seven pull ups as well and nothing smaller than sets of three until that last two. Overall happy with the effort. Waiting for the pull up bars didn't help my time any and I'm not sure it helped my resting. Gonna have to stick to a set rest period, either 15 or 20 seconds. We'll see...

Thought about going 265 but my 1RM is only 300 and I was feelin pretty good so I tried not to blow it.  Still happy with 245.

Another smoker.  Just when you think AMRAP in 20 minutes might be a tough "METCON" workout, it kicks my ass up and down the weight room and turns into another suck-fest that I just hope to survive...GAWD, I LOVE CROSSFIT!!!   THANKS COACH!!!

800-50-50 (21:15)

Took 45-seconds off this one since the last time we did it (March). Pretty good considering I hadn't focused on push ups at all nor running, plus, ran in yesterday's WOD and this is day 3 of workouts so I was already smoked from the squats. Maybe this CrossFit stuff really works...LOL!!!

Not looking forward to this new workout anytime soon...

CrossFit Games

Spent two days volunteering as a judge/trainer at the games this
weekend and I am smoked. 1,200 workouts in two days kept us busy and
the heat was tough. Not sure which workouts I'll try but any one of
them will be a butt kicker.

1-min Pull ups (11+6)

With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two pull ups the second minute, three pull-ups the third minute...continuing as long as you are able. Use as many sets each minute as needed.

Just got to round 11 but it was the first time I've done this workout
with real (kipping) pull ups. Mostly sets of 2 but quite a few sets of
three. Grip and timing the kip were the limiting factors but I was
strong enough to get my chest to the bar early on.

Last time (080301) I got to round 12 with the large IronWoody bands.
What a sweet improvement.

PJ 95-105-115-115-115

A little more rest on the 125# shoulder press and I think I would have
had it but I'll keep the rest periods uniform so I can get out of the
gym faster and see how much my recovery between each set improves as my
strength improves.

Push press felt really good, three reps is not too bad so I'll
definitely go heavier next time.

Push jerk really smoked the wrist, stretching and strengthening the
ligaments pretty good. It will be interesting to see how this improves
my overall performance. Hadn't done these heavy enough yet, felt good.
