Good Times!!

I am off a little bit with my posts need to make it a habit now that the holidays are over.

"Michael"
Three rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
50 Back Extensions
50 Sit-ups
My splits for each round 6:13, 7:40, 8:11. Total 22:04. Time just flew by with this WOD, or so it felt.

Dec-31-2008
Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps 95-100-105-110-115
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps 105-110-115-120-125
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps 95-115-125-130-did not attempt
My shoulder press felt great and is a personal record for me. The push press was also good and I felt good, however, i was leary about the push jerk. When I was working out with Josh that week and we were completing split jerks, my last attempt felt wierd in my left shoulder. I took it easy, I felt some soreness but am glad that I did not attempt the last rep. Next time.

Today
My first fight!!!
"Fight Gone Bad!"
Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20" box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

I was nervous never having done this WOD before and wondering how I was going to keep track of everything. Here is how it all went down.
Round 1 2 3
Wall Ball 25 20 20
SDLHP 20 17 15
Box Jump 20 20 20
Push Press 12 10 12
Row 7 9 7
Total 84 74 76=234
I downloaded an Mp3 clip that keeps track of the time for you with backround music which worked pretty well, the hard part was writing the numbers down and jumping into the next exercise. I do not have a medicine ball yet so I had to throw a 20# DB in the air and catch it which was not to bad. My crux was the Push Press, shoulders still weak (need to stop making excuses) and I was tired from the shoulder WOD the day before. Also very difficult and time consuming to turn on the rower each round to calculate calories. Good time, I guess for my first go around, next time will be different. Bring me "Murph" (hopefully in less than 45min)
