Halloween WOD 2009 - Gibson Garage Gym

Had Vic Zachary and Webster Smith over to do "Nate" today.

"Nate"

AMRAP 20 minutes:

2 muscle-ups
4 handstand push-ups
8 kettle bell swing, 2 pood (70#)

Vic = 17 rounds!  Friggin' amazing to watch.
Shane = 13 rounds.

Webster = 7 rounds, but more importantly he defeated his muscle up demons.

Had a bad-ass time having these two monsters over for a WOD.  Vic is just damn impressive, he killed it.  Webster broke down some barriers today and got his muscle-ups figured out, he is well on his way to being a serious force.  I started having some serious muscle fatigue issues towards the end of my WOD which cost me several muscle up failures and brought my party to an end, but all in all I am satisfied with my performance.

I love CrossFit.

Shane: Oct 12 through 18

On October 12th, I did "Bugaboo" as posted below by Ben.  My results are under the comments.  This was a brutal WOD, but it was an honor to do it, I did my best as if "Bug" was watching me.  This actually came at a great time for me, coming off of another mental game failure at a competition, having "Bug" there as a motivation factor helped me kick it into the next gear.  Thanks "Bug", I'll be looking to you and your Sister for motivation again in the future.

October 13 through 15: I am kind of in limbo with the Olympic Lifting Certification coming this weeked.  I don't want to risk injury, DOMS or exhaustion heading into the cert so I have decided to take these days as rest.

October 16: Ben and I have deadlift/basic barbell mechanics session and possibly a not too brutal WOD planned with Vic Zachary of Bayou City CrossFit for this Friday morning.  Really looking forward to it.

October 17 & 18: CrossFit Olympic Lifting Certification at Alamo CrossFit in San Antonio, TX.  Ben and I are hoping to hone in on the more technical lifts and have a great time in San Antonio.

I will hop back on the CrossFit.com main page WODs after this.  Side note: I am going to stay one 3 days on, 1 day off rotation behind on the main page starting next week.  This will allow for better WOD planning around life and movement substitions and etc.

See you next week!
