Starting Something New

I decided that I want to start posting all of my workouts on my blog. I always feel like there is nothing to hide when it comes to working out. There is no secret to success, just grunt work and smart programming. CrossFit should not be compared to P90x, or the Insanity Workout or even Juggernaut Training. CrossFit is basically free. Just check out the WODs on the CrossFit Main Site.




I have learned throughout the years of CrossFit training that I can not program my own workouts. I easily fall into programming all my strengths and very little of my many weaknesses. So this is what I am doing. I have decided that I want to "Roll Back"  I started April 8th, 2011 doing CrossFit Mainsite workouts from January of 2004. I am still doing this and I am loving it!

Some gains I have noticed:

  • A 30lb Pr on my Deadlift (470lbs-500lbs)
  • Better recovery
  • Stronger on pull ups
  • Pr on Grace (2:10 to 1:57)

What I am adding to my Programming:

  • Strength by feel cycle on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays only if I have a workout that day. (A lot less %. Focusing more on technique, mainly a warm up)
  • CrossFit Endurance on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. (Alternating weeks of running and rowing. 2 interval training days, 1 volume training day. No double running days, CFE of rowing will be replaced) at least 3 hours after my CF WOD
  • Gymnastics Skill Work on Sundays (On days that I can, I plan to do this a lot more in the future)

This is "Barbara" without the rests. Post time to comments.

Result: 41:58


Notes:

It looks like my I tweaked something on my wrist from "Gwen" the other day. The push ups hurt a lot on my wrist, I had to slow down. Otherwise, this workout kicked my ass. I forced myself to do unborken pull ups of at least 5 reps. I had to redo a set five times.

My range of motion was f*@#ken titts!
