"Bobby"

** 5 RFT **

5 wall climbs

20 burpees

Time: 13:52

Bobby, a fellow crossfitter at Crossfit Terre Haute is leaving for basic training and his last day at the gym was today, so this was his Hero workout, it sucked. The shoulder burn was definitely the worst part about this. I'm glad this workout is done, it was one that I was not looking forward to. We shall see what tomorrow brings, getting to the gym early in the a.m.

Tuesday, November 8th

Strength

1 deadlift at 285lbs every minute for 10 minutes

METcon

4 wall climbs every minute for 10 minutes

The last round of the wall climbs you were to do as many as you could, I only made it to 5. My shoulders were on fire and my head was killing me from inverting so many times. The 285 felt pretty good. I was really trying to concentrate on my lumbar curve, making a conscious effort to not allow my back to round out. Tomorrow night I won't be getting into the gym until around 7 p.m., but I will get something in regardless.

Monday, November 7th

METcon

** 3 RFT **

30 wall balls (20lbs ball; 10ft target)

30 clean n jerk (75lbs)

Time 19:17

This workout sucked! I though my shoulders were going to fall off. It went from pressing to...pressing. My lower back became extremely tight too! My lungs were not really a factor because I would have to rest from the muscle fatigue before I became out of breath. I'm glad I got this workout done early today so I can hit the books tonight without having to worry about getting to the gym. Back on top of a decent diet today, we'll see how long that lasts!

Sunday, November 6th

Bench Press

10 x 3 @ 185

Dips

1 x 20

1 x 13

1 x 10

Pull-ups

3 x failure

I am unable to get in my strength session with Lucas because of class tomorrow so I went with my brother tonight to get it out of the way. I was suppose to bring the weight down on the sets of ten and minimize rest in between sets. 185 went up easy today, which is a good sign. Next week I'll be jumping up to 205 for 10 sets of 3. Tomorrow I will be heading to the crossfit gym at some point. Hopefully it will be a good week of training, and getting back onto a healthy diet.

Saturday, November 5th

METcon

** 10 RFT w/partner **

5 burpees

10 thrusters (95lbs)

200m run

Me & Larry: 19:45

A good way to start the weekend. Larry and I were teamed up today for this little doozy. It wasn't so bad with a partner, getting to rest every other round. I was able to get all of my thrusters unbroken. I should have ran a bit faster on my runs, but it was still a pretty good WOD. My diet has fallen so far from were it needs to be this last week it isn't funny. I am getting back onto paleo starting Monday. I obviously cannot just have a snack here and there, it is quite pathetic.

Thursday, November 3rd

Strength
3 push press every minute for 10 minutes at 155lbs

METcon
20 box jumps every minute for 10 minutes

Today was a relatively easy day in the gym. Probably won't make it to the gym tomorrow. Having to head to Indy and more than likely will not make it back in time to attend class. I will try to make something up myself at home.

Tuesday, November 1st

METcon
3 DL every min for 10min (235lbs)
30 reps of 235lbs

METcon #2
20KB swings (53lbs) every min for 10min
Score: 13

On the first couple of sets I got 20 reps but after that it was a steady decline. I ended up with my lowest round at about 13 KB swings. Tomorrow is a busy day but I will try to get into the gym. And of course it is the start of Movember!
