MEBB Back Squat 3-3-3-1-1-1

Back Squat

3-3-3-1-1-1

225-245-255(F)-265-Q-Q

Haven't back squatted in quite a while and I remember why now. It's hard!!! But I am getting stronger somehow (CrossFit is the shit!!!).

Last 5RM was 245, now it's my 3RM and I almost got 255. Got 2 reps and just need some Rage Against the Machine and a little screaming to get the last one up. Fuckin Globo Gym!!!

Was happy with the 265 1RM as well, that's up from 245 I think but I was smoked after that one so I didn't try 275 (this time). All in all a good day and I feel good enough this morning to get some MetCon this afternoon with our CF Yongsan group. Stay tuned...

95-115-115-135-135-135-155-155-155 (all PRs...)

First time with heavier thrusters and I was pretty pleased with the results. And it feels really, really good to drop heavy weights from overhead. Fuckin Globo-Gyms!!!

8k Row - 7:52

Ouch!!!

5k Run (25:30)

Tried another 5k just to see where my running is at for next month's APFT.  Haven't really run since last year's APFT on OCT.  Done some hill sprints here and there but that's it.  Maybe a Helen or two.  Not much.  Felt pretty good today in the Vibram Five Fingers, feet didn't hurt nearly as bad as the first time last year.  Calves are smoked though.  Good smoked.  Might motivate me to workout tomorrow and Monday.  We'll see...

Helen (12:36)

Helen

Run 400 meters
21 Kettlebell swings
12 pull ups

12:36

This one was a little rough. My run has fallen off for sure. Glad I
used the 16kg Kettlebell. Tweaked my damn upper back trying to pull
the bell down rather than be lazy and take a micro-break by letting it
just fall down. You definately have to stay tight.

First round was 3:30. Last two were about 4:30 each.

Will run easier the first round next time and run harder the last two
rounds. Should also handle the 2 pood (24kg) Kettlebell next time.
Just hope my pullups are better by next time...

Couldn't get the boys away from the weights today. When you can drop
it safely, you have the confidence to lift more weight.

PRs were flying in left and right...

Playin with Squat Cleans

The great thing about never having worked a movement, every time you
hit it, it's a PR!

1RM squat clean - 155#
3RM squat clean - 135#
5RM squat clean - 115#

Could have done more but my crappy form got worse fast.

Was just glad to move some weight. What a sweet exercise...!!!

This was a good one. I was worried about all the squatting but it wasn't too bad. Adding push ups and/or pull ups in there somewhere would have been a little brutal. That's my favorite, a "little" brutal...

Outside

40 degrees

No gloves

9:58

Worked up a sweat but it wasn't enough to save my frozen ass hands.
Between the cold ass barbell and pull up bar, fingers felt like
swollen, numb little sausages and couldn't tell if grip was going to
keep me on the pull up bar or not.

Really felt like quitting this one but our newfound CF community got
me through it.

I won't be too proud to workout with gloves on ever again...

Fight Gone Bad

MONDAY 090216

Rest Day.  Took the little boy skiing for the first time today.  Lots of fun but lots of work bending over and hanging onto him while snow plowing the whole way down the mountain.  Cold as hell too.  Good day though.

FIGHT GONE BAD

Hit some FGB with our newest clients.  Big fun but a very challenging way for some newbs to learn to tackle a few semi-complicated moves.

They were chomping at the bit so we only hit two rounds and then let them go.  I wasn't complaining.  Those two rounds kicked my butt.

I gotta get after it.

Got almost 100 points on the first round, only like 75 rounds the second.  Final round would have been ugly.  Would like to chase the elusive 300 points on this one day sooner than later.

More Workouts

Getting back into the swing of things finally.  It definitely helps having a set routine and a schedule that becomes easier to stick to as time goes on.  Would like to start ramping back up the intensity soon.

Warm up from Hell

Tried to hit an easier metcon-y workout to help get back in the swing
of things.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of each for time:

Squat
Samson stretch
Sit up
Back extension
Push up
Double unders

22:13

This was a good one. Would be interesting with less rest between the
pull ups to double unders and back to squats.
