Last WOD of 2011

This.
Sucked.
By far the hardest chipper wod to date. Just wrecked you after it was done.
42 pullups
42 pushups
42 sumo dead lift high pulls (95lbs)
42 push press (115lbs)
42 dead lifts (225lbs)
42 push press
42 sumo's
42 pushups
42 pullups
I finished right at an hour and I couldn't complete all of the dead lifts. Back had other ideas. Managed 24 of them and just had to stop at that number.

Loved the rugby player throwing his knocked out tooth....like a boss

I want to sweat...

So I say to Chris. Both of us are feeling the previous day WOD and we wanted a workout that incorporated some bench work so we went with this little jewel.

Run 1000m

Bench press your body weight (me-205, Chris-225) 50 times

Every time you have to rack the weight you must do 15 free squats

Run 1000m

Donny-20m25s

Chris-15m1s

This wasn't too bad but the last run I could feel my core just going to cramp city and I actually had to pause a couple times on the treadmill to stretch out. Some ab work after and overall a good time in the gym. Looking forward to the rest today to recover. Legs are still very upset with me and the deadlifts.

This...that is all.

Something quick...

Easing Chris back into it yesterday and seeing how those 150 dead lifts from Monday are really talking to me, a quick upper body WOD seemed in order. 

10-1 Pull Ups*

1- 10 Push Press (95#M/65#F)*

*First round, complete 10 Pull Ups and 1 Press. Each round thereafter, complete descending reps of Pull Ups and ascending reps of Press.

My time 6m56sec with Chris edging me out at 6m52sec

Finished up with a mile run (which my legs truly adored) and some ab work. Not a bad little gym session. 

The last couple weeks...

Have.

Been.

Hell.

What more can I say? Caught the flu bug going around. Holidays crept up and destroyed any hopes of maintaining a strict diet. Workouts sucked. Ate like a fat boy on a diet. All around a very crappy holiday. Managed to get in the gym two or three times and a WOD or two at the park. Very disappointed in my regimen. The new year is going to bring on A LOT of changes in my life and I hope and pray that they will all be good. I want to set some goals for myself in my exercise program as well as my personal life. I have hope that the changes coming will lead me down a path of fulfillment. 

Sat around the house yesterday banging my head against the wall, debating on if I should go to gym or not and almost talked myself out of it. I finally got my clothes on and went down for a nice little WOD that wasn't overall too bad in the first few rounds but I was worked by the end of it. 

10 rounds for time

15 135lb deadlifts

15 pushups

Finished with a time of 24m39s

The deadlifts were not that bad up until the 7th round and then it kicked in and I questioned the sanity of a man who would choose to do 150 reps of deadlifts. Walking and squatting today are both lessons in futility. 

Well last week ended on a good note as I hit my numbers on the bench with a 320lb lift. I look forward to trying for a PR this week of 325lbs. Ran through the rest of the week with some normal gym workouts and finished the week with a WOD combining some running and good movement exercise. 

Run 800 meters

50 pullups

Run 600 meters

50 pushups

Run 400 meters

50 leg raises

Run 200 meters

50 squats

21m28secs

Yeah....THIS....

Off to the races

With the holidays putting my waistline in a rear naked choke, I have to dig deep and attempt to avoid the calling of the pecan pie fairies and the lure of a fat ass. Headed to the gym for a chest and tri workout but ended up completing the 300 WOD with Chris and Mad.

I finished with a 16m59sec time with Chris destroying me with a 15m56sec time. All good.
