5rounds
max rep Body Weight Bench Press 140#
max rep Pull-ups

BP=15-15-11-11-9...total of 61
PU=31-31-27-29-23...total of 141

I was toast after this, it is amazing how wrecked a workout like this can be. It is not timed and you have about 2-3min between sets and reps but you hit each attempt so hard that it just taxes you for hours after. Great WOD

Recognizable

We were at the mall the other day and I had on my Independence Day CrossFit shirt on, we were walking back to the car and I saw this guy walking right towards me, he stopped in front of me and said, "Where do you CrossFit?" We had a small conversation as my kids were tired and wanted to go home, it turns out he was the owner of Competitive Fitness in Chandler, which is a CrossFit box. It got me thinking alot about wanting to open my own box in Laveen. It is something that I would love to do. I can not do anything until I go to the Level 1 cert in Flag, but I am seriously concidering by the beginning of next year looking into training people out of my garage and see where it takes me. What do you think?? Crazy???

155 pound Hang power clean, 9 reps
155 pound Push jerk, 6 reps

This was done Thursday at Josh's house as he has bumpers and boy was it great being able to let the bar go from overhead instead of wasting so much energy lowering it to the ground. The first 2 rounds I used 145 and the last 3 was 135. Next time all rounds with 145.

Friday

"Lynne"

Five rounds for max reps of
Body weight bench press
Pull-ups

I crushed my previous scores on this WOD.

11/30, 11/25, 11/25, 10/25, 10/25=53/130

Very uneven and you can see what I need to work on. I was determined to hold my first round numbers for as long as I could, when I dropped in numbers I told myself to not drop again and that is what I did

Bodybuilding???

Quickly I forgot to mention my split jerk numbers from a couple of days ago
Split Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
135, 145, 155, 165, 170(f), 170, 175(f)
I failed on my first attempt at 170 because I did not get under the bar quick enough and it ended up being a press instead of a jerk, same thing happened for the 175. Mentally I am afraid to drop the weight and without bumper plates it would make alot of noise dropping 175 from overhead

Today
"Lynne"
Five rounds for max reps of:
Body weight bench press
Pull-ups
It felt like a bodybuilding routine. I have not done a bodybuilding workout since I started CrossFit and this felt weird. I know the Bench is a power movement like the squat and should be worked on to strengthen the Pecs, just felt weird.
145# for BP with 10, 8, 8, 7, 7. Pullups 30, 20, 20, 15, 15. For some reason I did not feel up to the workout today, but I pushed through it the best I could. Next up Front Squats. I am very upset that I can not do Karen as I do not have my medicine ball yet.
