Pull ups

2 x 10 ring rows after



EMOM 12
5 pull-ups, Green band

  • 5 was a bit ambitious. I made it and fairly comfortably, but had to reset most sets to get my shoulders back into the non-ouchy position.
  • Pull-ups break ring rows.

2013-11-18 - Craig - Step-ups, Burpees, Mountain climbers

AMRAP in 5:00
5 box step ups
5 burpees
10 mountain climbers



http://youtu.be/rgIusM3y8SU

AMRAP in 5:00
5 x 16" box step ups
5 burpees
10 mountain climbers

  1. Step ups
    • Ignore the height I used in the video text, it was 16 inches.
    • That was a much better height. Perhaps a little too high as I got tired, but mostly my hips stayed where they should.
  2. Burpees
    • Hmm, tucking my elbows in a bit too much for my liking. Otherwise not a siaster formwise.
    • Pace however escapes me.
  3. Mountain climbers
    • They were a lot better in my warm-ups.
    • I was very happy with how I did pre-workout, post burpees though things got a bit sloppier.
Overall
  • Fran cough big time.

2013-11-13 - Craig - Skill/Strength - Deadlifts

Deadlift
3 x 5



Deadlift
3 x 5 x 60kg

Overall

  • OK. Neither good or bad.
  • I'll video these and send them through even though they're not a WOD day. I need your feedback and I need the discipline of taking and watching the videos.
    I know I can get strong enough to do damage fairly quickly even lifting badly and I need to keep tabs on how I'm lifting even more than what I'm lifting.

6 squats
Row 300
9 squats
Row 200
12 squats
Row 100
15 squats


  1. Row
    • A better pace than I expected, 1:45 to 1:53 at the slowest I think.
  2. Squats
    • Some of those weren't bad.
      Many of them were, but I'll take the good ones.
Overall
  • Proved I can count, or I can do other things.
    Not both.
  • Bear in mind this is after 3 days of walking around Wellington. More walking than I usually do in a month. My ankles are sore, but my butt is working.
    After a week of sitting things might not be so good.

9-6-3
Front squat
Ring row
Rest 3:00
Repeat


http://youtu.be/P-e8LW8n674

9-6-3
20kg Front squat to 20" box
Ring row
Rest 3:00
Repeat
  1. Front squat
    • Again, box squats not specified so guessed.
    • Too many things wrong to comment on.
    • Stupidly, the reps at the start where I fell backwards actually look better than the rest.
      Probably surprised myself by doing them properly for once.
    • Really not impressed with how curved my spine is.
  2. Ring row
    • Not my best work, but not bad.
Overall
  • One of those I really have trouble watching, those front squats are just ugly.

2013-11-03 - Craig - Skill/Strength - Slow air squats, Walking lunges

Air squat
3 x 5
10 second eccentric

2 x 10 walking lunges



Air squat
3 x 5 to 20" box
10 second eccentric

2 x 10 walking lunges

  1. Air squats
    • You didn't state box squats so I went with everything being box squats lately and because I suck at anything else even worse.
    • 10 seconds is a long time to stretch what amounts to a quarter range squat.
      Struggled with that as much as anything.
    • Really noticed that I'm just not stable once I break at the hips.
      Very wobbly in that 10 seconds.
  2. Lunges
    • Pretty good.
      Left hip was much better than it was.

Overall
  • My left butt cheek cramped.
  • Piddly unweighted quarter squats and a few lunges in a skill day and my butt cramped.
    Must be onto something.
