Deadlift 5-5-5-5-5 reps
Thought I was easing back into things and tweaked my back doing this WOD. Frustrating year of injuries, ready for it to be over and start off with a fresh mind and healthy body. Will shut it down for the rest of the year to heal up. Then build up more slowly - need to put the ego to the side for a bit... :)
135-185-235-x-x
Not heavy weights at all but I think the 12/09 WOD did me in with the high volume of deadlifts because I did a slight tweak then. Looking back didn't warm up = stupid.
Warmup: 500 barefoot singleunders, shoulder mobility stuff, CFWUx1 (OHS@45#, ring dips), shoulder press 10@45#

12/13 WOD
Three rounds for time of:
35 pound Dumbbell squat snatch, 15 reps, right arm
15 GHD sit-ups
35 pound Dumbbell squat snatch, 15 reps, left arm
15 Toes to bar
Man this was an ab killer. And the one handed squat snatches were very deceptive. I ended up not finishing the last round, no toes to bars... :( Used 25# DB's.

12/10 WOD
Resting 60 seconds between sets:
Bench press 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
Last did this one on 10/08/10 with the following results:
177-187-192-197-202-207-212-214.5(1)-212-212(1)
Figured I would do something a bit heavier this time. Shoulder though still isn't 100% but certainly manageable. Didn't feel as powerful as when I benched 240 on 10/30/11 - hiatus and shoulder I'm sure had an impact on it. But overall better than last time so I'm good with that.
185-195-205-210-212.5-215-215-215-215(1)-215(1)
Stomach is a bit sore from the last two rounds where I couldn't get the second rep and had to roll the bar down my torso. Kept the collars off so tilted the bar and the bumper plates slid off and I was good to go... :)
Warmup: 100 jumping jacks, shoulder mobility stuff, 10 pushups, bench press 10@45#, 5@95#, 5&135#, 5@155#

12/09 WOD
Complete as many rounds as you can in 20 minutes of:
Run 400 meters
Deadlift 155 pounds, 21 reps
Chose to do this way late at night. Didn't warmup at all. Not the best choice but I was tired and wanted to plow through this. Scaled deadlifts to 135# and ran on treadmill for 0.25 miles.
5 full rounds with :18 to spare

12/06 WOD
Back Squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Okay did this one on 6/16/11 and did pretty good:
205 - 225 - 235 - 245 - 255
So knowing that I've taken a recent hiatus and haven't done any heavy squatting, what do I do? Overdo it... Lasted all of one day. Someday I'll learn. Tweaked back/glute on round 4. I did finish it.
205(5) - 225 - 235 - 240
Lowered the weight but the core was toast. Seems minor, should be fine. Always feels good lifting heavy (well except when you hurt yourself).
Warmup: 500 singleunders, shoulder mobility stuff, CFWUx1 (OHS@45#, ring dips), shoulder press 10@45#, back squats 10@45#, 5@135#, 5@185#

12/05 WOD
“Eva”
Five rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
2 pood Kettlebell swing, 30 reps
30 Pull-ups
Okay welcome back from shoulder injury hiatus. Seems as though I went in too much too fast. Big surprise. So shut it down for a couple of weeks. Shoulder isn't 100% but sitting around had pretty much done as much as it could do (I did do some treatment on it). Of course my welcome back after this mini-break is Eva, or rather Evil. Nasty ugly WOD. I knew I was going to scale big time. I've actually never done Eva rx'd (close with 1.5 pood KB swings in 53:08 in 2009). Figured I would do 1/2 Eva:
5 rounds
0.25 mile run
15 KB swings @ 1 pood
15 pullups
What's this? Me scaling back? Give it a week and see if I'm still a smart guy.
19:56
3:22 - 4:16 - 4:15 - 4:17 - 3:46
Felt decent but definitely out of shape. Still some pretty good volume. Just right. Felt some good discomfort, but not wrecked beyond recognition... :)

11/19 WOD
"Michael"
Three rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
50 Back Extensions
50 Sit-ups
In honor of Navy Lieutenant Michael McGreevy, 30, of Portville, NY, who was killed in Afghanistan June 28, 2005.
Took an extra rest day as my shoulder continues to be tender. This WOD looked good however since there was no shoulder stuff.
Fok more 800's yay. Oh and forget the rest in between lets throw in some major core stuff. I goofed on the first set of back extensions as I did hip extensions - man my hams were on fire. Then adjusted the GHD and that helped for sure. Still very tough. Ran on treadmill with slight incline. Unanchored abmat situps.
26:43
Slow, slow time. But continuing to lay the foundation. Just hope the shoulder feels better soon.
Warmup: 0.50 mile run on treadmill (6-7.5MPH)
C/D: 3x15 pushups for the shoulder rehab

11/16 WOD
Three rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
Rest 2 minutes
Oh joy, love the 800m intervals... Can't remember when I last did them but know they always suck. Had a target in mind but wasn't sure how the body would respond. Ran on the treadmill with a slight incline. Took too long to get that bad boy up to speed so that may have cost me a few seconds. Overall happy with the times. Just over a month back into CrossFit after that hiatus and I feel like I'm making good progress. Shoulders are still über tender so we'll see about tomorrow's snatch balance WOD.
2:59 - 3:09 - 3:24
Just dug up some old 800m times - May 2009:
2:43 - 3:01 - 3:14 - 3:03. About a 3 minute break between 800's. Out and back course on the street. Dang, those times were pretty good. Little bit to go to get back there.
Warmup: run 0.50 miles, 0.25@6MPH, 0.25@7.5MPH

11/15 WOD
Thruster 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
Okay, shoulders still a bit tender from that chipper and then wall ball WOD. Was hoping to do well on this but figured I needed to be careful. Don't need any setbacks this early as I get reacquainted with CrossFit. Couldn't figure out the hand position very well either despite watching the demo video a few times. Just not sure how to find the sweet spot between front squat grip and full hand grip. The transition seemed odd and weak. So I went with the full hand grip. The video said that will reduce the amount you can lift but I just couldn't see any other way. Something to practice.
135-155-160-165-170-175-185(F)-185(F)
Did a bonus round because I thought I could get 185 up but the wrists and shoulders failed me. It was an easy front squat.
Warmup: 500 singleunders, shoulder mobility stuff, CFWUx1 (OHS@45#, strict pullups), shoulder press 10@45#, thrusters 3@95, 3@115

11/13 WOD
21-15-9 reps for time of:
GHD Wall ball, 10 pound ball
Wallball "2-fer-1s", 20 pound ball
Okay, couldn't setup the GHD to do this WOD properly and didn't have a 10# med ball. Plus I decided regular wall balls would be better for me. I used a 12# med ball on the GHD and launched to an 8' target. Ball stayed tight to my chest vs. overhead. Used 20# med ball to 10' target for wall balls. This was plenty for me. Still feeling that chipper from yesterday in my arms and shoulders.

1.5 pood Turkish Get-up, 20 reps, alternating arms
Okay disappointed that I missed Murph yesterday but was exhausted. Asleep by 10:30pm which is very early for me. Figured I needed to go all in on this one because I missed it. Still felt tired even though I got plenty of sleep. Pace was okay, but nothing spectacular. Then the wheels came off at the TGU's. Started with 1pood but quit that after 4 of them. Finished with 26# kb. Took almost 12 minutes to do them. Just didn't have it. I need to start cleaning up the diet.

Okay my final day at CrossFit 801. Really enjoyed my time there and the people were very cool. I hope to pay them a visit when I'm there in January. Had some fun today, messing around with box jumps. I successfully jumped up on 3 tractor tires stacked up - matched my best 56". Pretty stoked with that. They were impressed that a 44 year old could do that. :)
Bench press was good too - the tempo was down 3-2-1 and then explode up. I did 6 reps @215# on my final set. Happy with that. My box jumps were 8@38" which I could've done higher.
Okay onto the metcon... Dang hard. I used a 70# kb and carried two 75# dumbbells for the farmers walk. The worst however were the goblet squats. Those I think had the biggest impact on me. I was looking good for a 7 minute time but then faded. I'd like to blame the altitude but I'm sure it is mostly my lack of fitness (since I'm just getting back into CF). The coach was awesome, she kept pushing me and giving me the 3-2-1 whenever I took a break. Forearms sufficiently fried.

11/08 WOD
7 rounds for time -
4 handstand push ups
6 reps, hang power snatch
24 double unders
Okay very cool my first workout at a CrossFit affiliate! CrossFit 801 in Utah. Referred a co-worker there so they said I could workout there while i was in town. Definitely a bit nervous, not used to working out with all these people around.
When I saw the WOD I thought, great handstand pushups... :(. 28 was going to be tough if not impossible at this time. I was confident with the hang power snatch and my double unders are slowly improving. Used 95# for the HPS's (rx'd was 115 - I think I could've done that). Double unders went pretty good. I actually did 5 rounds of handstand pushups unbroken. But faded hard on rounds 6 & 7 (took me longer to do the final two rounds than it did to do the first five rounds!). As a matter of fact I could only do negatives on the final round despite everyone cheering me on. Tried to do kipping handstand pushups but didn't know how to do them. Too bad really as I was on pace to beat the 6pm trainer. But 24 handstand pushups I'm happy with... :). HPS's all unbroken.
18:07
It sure was cool though sharing the pain with everyone. Pretty motivating when everyone is cheering you on to finish.

95 pound Push press, 5 reps
This is pack scaling, rx'd is 135#. Shoulders and abs fried still from yesterday's WOD so this was going to be rough. Skipped ab stuff during warmup. Did some push press with light weight and went for it. Was hoping for sub-10 minutes but came up just short when I had to rest for about 10 seconds on the last set of push presses. So close.
10:07
Excited for a rest day and then even more excited as I'll be in Salt Lake City and I'll get an opportunity to train at CrossFit801 on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Excited but a bit nervous as I've never been to an affiliate before. Should be interesting... :)

Was hoping for under 10 minutes, but slowed considerably and muscleups got slower and slower. Oh well, got through it.

Make one snatch attempt per round
Jeeze more double-unders must know that I'm pretty bad at them right now. Oh well, as I tell my daughter the only way to get better at something is to practice. Lot of practice here with that volume. Was able to string some together but still not more than about 12. Making progress, think I need a slightly heavier rope than my uber light speed rope. And the snatch I'm not so hot at either. Did some warming up and decided that 115# was going to be my choice in weight. For the most part went up pretty easily, couple rounds a teeny bit shaky. So I probably could've gone a little heavier but I'll take that.

Warmup: 500 singleunders, shoulder mobility stuff, CFWUx1 (OHS@45#, ring dips), snatch balance 6@45#, 4@65#, 4@95#; snatch 3@95#, 2@115#

11/01 WOD
Set a cone at 20 meters. Five rounds for time of:
185 pound barbell Overhead walk, 40 meters
30 Wallball shots, 20 pound ball
95 pound barbells Farmer carry, 40 meters
The barbells must be turned around the cone.
Okay after last night's bludgeoning, knew I was going to scale this one big time. Used the "Pack" scaling. Worked out outside in the backyard - wind was howling but there was some shelter for me. Didn't have 20m so did some calculations and walked back and for several times.
5 Rounds
Overhead walk 40m@95#
30 wallball shots @15#
50# dumbbell walk 40m
Pretty wiped. I strongly dislike wallball shots and these were rough. Couldn't even imagine what this WOD would feel like at rx.

10/31 WOD
Three rounds for time of:
95 pound Overhead squat, 15 reps
15 L Pull-ups
95 pound Split-jerk, 15 reps
15 Knees to elbows
95 pound Hang clean, 15 reps
15 Back extensions, with 25 pounds
Hold 25 pound plate or dumbbell to chest for back extensions.
Well, seemed like reasonable weights... And I was just coming off a surprise PR night. Figured what the heck, I'm ready to give this a go rx'd. Big mistake. Total gasser. I felt great on the overhead squats and did them all unbroken. The L pullups were tough and I broke them up. Split jerks unbroken but definitely hard. K2E's always suck. Hang squat cleans were ugly too.
So my time? 23:07... Quit after two rounds. Wheels came falling off in the second round.

10/30 WOD
Clean, 1 rep
Bench press, 1 rep
Overhead squat, 1 rep
Clean is from the ground, power or squat.
Okay, did this back on 12/4/10 and was pretty happy with the results then:
Clean - 211 (power clean)
Bench press - 231 (best ever)
Overhead squat - 196 (PR by 20#!!! Captured on video - legit depth)
TOTAL - 638
So my expectations weren't great knowing how little I've done with really heavy weights. During the bodybuilding working out there was some bench press, but no single rep maxes or really heavy stuff. So I was really happy when I did the following:
Clean - 215
Bench press - 240
Overhead squat - 175
TOTAL - 630
First two were PR's! Disappointed on my overhead squat since my PR is 196, but I could tell it wasn't going to happen. Very shaky with 185 overhead, then lost it pressing out of the hole. Definitely need more midline stability/shoulder strength. But overall I was pleased with the results.
Warmup: 500 singleunders, shoulder mobility stuff, CFWUx1 (OHS@45#, ring dips)
Cleans - 6@135#, 1@185, 1@205, 1@215
Bench - 6@135#, 4@185, 1@205, 1@225, 1@240, 1@245(F)

10/28 WOD
"Tabata Something Else"
Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where the first 8 intervals are pull-ups, the second 8 are push-ups, the third 8 intervals are sit-ups, and finally, the last 8 intervals are squats. There is no rest between exercises.
Okay last did this on 04/05/2010. I was in excellent shape at that point, arguably in my best shape then. Roll the clock forward 1.5 years and add in a break from CrossFit and you get results not even close to the previous PR.

10/26 WOD
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
3 Wall climbs
10 Up-downs
5 Parallette pass-throughs (forward + back = 1)
10 Grasshoppers (right + left = 1)
For the wall climbs, toes and chest touch the ground to toes and chest touch the wall. For the up-downs, thighs touch the ground then stand up fully. For the pass-throughs, the hips open at the front and back. For the grasshoppers, the shin contacts the opposite forearm.
Nice easy little gymnastics related WOD... Sweet, shouldn't be too bad. Once again, tough. Deceptively tough. Hardly did a warmup - mistake. Felt gassed at the start. Was barely able to do the pass throughs unbroken and couldn't do the grasshoppers unbroken. Big core and shoulders workout for' sho'!!!
5 rounds + 3 wall climbs + 3 up-downs

10/24 WOD
21-15 and 9 rep rounds of:
Left-arm Kettlebell snatch, 1.5 pood
Right-arm Kettlebell snatch, 1.5 pood
Pull-ups
Did this one in October of last year - scaled to 1 pood kb swings (35#). Decided to do the same this time for comparison purposes (and not to mention I'm still a bit fried from the Bradshaw WOD yesterday with the 96 pullups). Last time was 5:45. Didn't think I would sniff that but happy with my time:
6:21
Grip and forearms are fried. Rest day take me away... :)

10/23 WOD
* "Bradshaw"
10 rounds for time of:
3 Handstand push-ups
225 pound Deadlift, 6 reps
12 Pull-ups
24 Double-unders
Holy crap haven't done that kind of pullup volume in forever. Decided to continue the scaling as I continue to build up the CrossFit strength, endurance, and power. 8 rounds, deadlifts at 185#. This was tough - plus as previously identified, my double unders stink right now. But more practice and needed breaks. I put an abmat under my head for the handstand pushups to provide some cushion for the neck.
25:36
Ouch.

10/22 WOD
Resting 60 seconds between sets:
Press 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
My nemesis, well one of many... The overhead press. Never have been very good at this. Shoulders feel as good as they have in awhile, I think the break from CrossFit helped that at least. Quick warmup and then I hit it. Don't normally workout in the morning but due to timing that was necessary.
95-100-105-110-112.5-115-117.5-120-120-122.5(1)
Previous 1RM is 135 so I'm happy with that I think.

10/20 WOD
Ten rounds, each for time of:
100 meter Sprint
Rest 90 seconds
Haven't run much in awhile. Feet seem to be a bit tender still but not bad. Put my Adidas track/sprint shoes on and rocked the cul de sac. I paced off 103 paces, approximately 94m. Note the cul de sac is slightly uphill so figured that would cancel the shorter distance. Basically sprinted to the top of the street and then walked back for my break.
Unfortunately I missed the lap button on my iPhone several times so those times were clearly slower. Pretty happy with the times, next time I hit the track!
15.6* - 13.5 - 13.5 - 16.0* - 14.5 - 16.5* - 15.2 - 15.6
* missed lap button on first try - figured I lost 2 seconds each time (based on my actual splits). Probably more on round 1 since it switched to world clock and I had to navigate back to the stopwatch. Next maybe I'll have someone to time me.
Stopped after 8 rounds as pack scaling is 6-8. Could've done two more sets but that would've hurt big time.
Warmup: 6 mins on treadmill ~0.50m (slow and easy pace)

10/19 WOD
2010 Northwest Regional Event 1
Three rounds for time of:
95 pound Overhead squat, 10 reps
50 Double-unders
This is pack scaling - rx'd is overhead squats at 135#. Birthday and work travel threw me off schedule so took an extra rest day.
My double unders suck big time now. Haven't done them in awhile and it showed. Best I could string together was 10-12 but most were like two and three. Very sad. Overhead squats at 95# were no problem and got through those unbroken easily. Probably because I was hardly winded with the lame ass du's... :(

10/16 WOD
Five rounds for time of:
155 pound Squat clean, 7 reps
14 Kettlebell swings, 1.5 pood
Okay decided to take things a bit easy getting back into CrossFit. Two WODs in my first cycle back. Scaled this to the pack scaling on the BrandX website.
95# squat cleans
1 pood/35# kettlebell swings
I knew this would hurt, even at the scaled weight since I haven't done anything high intensity for a couple of months now. And it did not disappoint. Recovery took awhile. Broke up the later rounds too. Happy to be getting back into it. Amazing after two CrossFit workouts I already feel better and am not hobbling around like an old man... :)

10/14 WOD
Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
Okay, the little experiment is over after 7 weeks. Learned a lot and while I perhaps gained a little mass, I lost a lot. Biggest issue was my back ached big time, impacting sleep and even sitting for a prolonged time was rough. That beat me down a fair amount and made me not want to workout. Vicious cycle. The long hours in the gym stunk too. Things took way too much time and therefore I was a bit bitter. I lost a ton of fitness too - didn't want to do "cardio" after training with weights for an hour plus. Explosive power dropped big time too. But worst of all I felt like I lost that indestructible feeling. Hobbling around with an aching back will do that to you.
So I'm back to CrossFit. Missed it a lot and I'm looking forward to the sufferfests again. Excited to train vs. work out.
Of course I come back to heavy deadlifts. I don't think I've done any heavy deadlifting since prior to my neck injury in what was that, late January? Early February? Anyhow, I remember pulling a PR of 385# before I went on the disabled list. Figured I would ease back into things tonight but weights felt good. Did I push it a bit? Probably. Back rounding on the last rep but went up fairly quickly. Actually did a CFT on 4/26/11 and pulled a 332# deadlift. But nothing heavy since then.
275-295-315-325-330-340-350
So not bad, less than 10% off my PR. Where I know I'm going to suffer is the metcons. Tomorrow will be a good test... :)
Warmup: 500 singleunders, shoulder mobility stuff, CFWUx1 (ohs@45#, ring dips), deadlifts 10@135#, 6@185#, 4@235#
