November 10, Bens WOD

"Penalty Box"

7 Rounds
10 Pullups
50m KB Walk with 1.5 Pood in each hand
20 Deadlift 1.5 Pood in each hand

Any time the KB's are set down except at the end of the DLs and any time you come off the pullup bar except at the end of each set of 10 you pay a 5 burpee penalty.

This was forearm/grip destruction. Friggen brutal..I paid at least 50 burpees. I also did the pullups on a 6x6 header in a doorway. Good day.

Nov 7 through 15: Shane's Moving

Spent this whole past weekend packing, moving, carrying, unloading, emptying the attic, etc.  WODs will be hit and miss for the next week or so.  But I am getting plenty of activity with the move.  I have moved most of my exercise equipment to my parent's house already, I only kept a couple kettlebells, jumpropes, abmat, pvc, slam ball, dynamax balls, etc.  I am going to try to throw together quick 21-15-9 type wods with some running mixed in for the mornings this week, and I will be packing and stacking in the evenings.  The big move takes place this weekend and I hope to be relatively settled by this time next week.  Then I will get my equipment set up at my parent's place and start crushing it again.  In the meantime, the sad truth is that my exercise and nutrition is going to suffer for the next week or so, I am just going to try to make the best out of it.

I will try to throw post in here and there, but more than likely I will be pretty silent for the next week.  Exciting times!  I'll be back after it soon enough.

Side note: CrossFit has made me very capable.  My increased strength, flexibility and ability to operate in uncomfortable positions and for varying time and intensity ranges has made things like moving so much easier than it used to be.  Stuff like this big move and moving all my crap is exactly the sport of life that we are training for...CrossFit works, period.

November 3 Bens WOD

So today was my first day at work and consequently my first day working out at 11,000 feet. Definately more challenging but not as bad as I thought. At this point my equipment at the mountain consists of Rings(not installed yet), rogue pull up bar (not yet installed), 2 1.5 pood KB, and a jump rope. I have some benches to jump on and a deck to do Jingle Jangles (5 m shuttle runs), and of course the whole mountain if Im so inclined. I plan to add a sandbag and my power blocks in a few weeks.

5 Rounds
3x each hand KB Snatch then 3 Waiters Walk lunge with KB- 1.5 pood
5x Goblet Squat Jump with 1.5 pood KB
5 Jingle Jangle

then

3 Rounds
3x Clean and Front Squat with 1.5 pood KB in each hand
6x KB Swing 1.5 pood

I didnt get a time cause Im not set up for it yet and really I just wanted to feel it out. It hurt.
