    I've been keeping the governor on for the past couple wods, I think I need to start ramping it up to RX'd purely for motvation, versus ego. I felt like I was just hitting my zone when I was nearing the end of the wod.

  2. early may:
    A. 1. 24, pb + 1 rep = 45 sek
    2. 9 + a bunch = 2:05 sek
    3. 5 + 5 + a bunch = 2:18 sek
    4. 5 + 5 + 1...DNF

    B. 3x100 - 3x102.5 - 3x105 - 3x110 - 2x115 kg

    C. 19 + 15 + 13 + 13 + 10

    Ripped upp my hand, called it quits. Felt strong first set of CTB, then weak. Happy with 24 reps, but I need to do them more fluidly. Starting to learn the high bar, felt ok, but I gave up mentally on the last one. Did C-part on parallets since my hand hurt to much to do it on the floor.

  11. Where the heck is everyone today - I wonder if everyone feels like i do today - like i got hit by a truck!!

    A. 65/75/80/85/90f at 8 absolutely nothing in the tank today

    B. All UB kipped legs up then made sure i held them on the way down at tempo. Think i could have added weight but just too bagged and sore today. I am seriously paying for my holidays.

    C. NO GHD so will do these at the gym I am going to tomorrow to work on my Cleans - yay very excited just hope i have a little more energy tomorrow.

    B. Body weight, 5x5. Set 1 broken -3reps+2reps. Set 2-5 UB.
    C. Scaled to 10 reps per set. 5 rounds completed.

    Notes: For A, finished out 10 at 95, paused at rack after rep 6, 8, and 9. For B, L-position was weak, legs were locked but dropping below parallel. For C, this is a new movement to me, scaled reps based on ability to keep up tempo. I have weak@$$ hamstrings! BWT: 160#

  13. Late May:
    A: 50kg(110 lbs) all sets. Could probably have gone up ~5 kg but my lowest gain-weight on barbell at home is 10 kgs. Last set tough but didn't have to scream my lunges out to get it up.
    B: All without bonus weight. unbr/unbr/unbr/3+1+1/2+2+1
    C: Subbed for 40 kg good-mornings.
    Unbr x 4 last round 16+4 with a few seconds rest on the top at the split.

  20. Lisa,
    Way to stick with it when ya feel like crap.
    I'm still around. Been MIA trying to get my shoulder figured out and my head in the game. Decided to go the way of the CFC affiliate team so once the remaining team members are chosen (this weekend) I'll be following Brett's programming. However, I'll ABSOLUTELY be checking in to see how you and the other ladies continue to kick ass.

    James.......there are no words....thanks doesn't even begin to encompass the gratitude I feel for all that you've done for me.
    Although I may not be following your blog I will continue to use your philosophies as motivation during the weeks ahead.
    "Full effort is full Victory" and my personal fav......
    "You're not thirsty....you're just being lazy" ;o)

  21. This WOD was brought to you by the letter 'scaled.' Due to a myriad of mysterious maladies I had to back off huge today so I may live to fight again.

    A. Front Squats - 130,135,140,145,150
    B. L-Sits for AMSAP - 15,15,12,10,10
    (I may never do an L Pull-Up again, they wreck my neck every single time, which is why I'm tweaked today)
    C. GHDs - 20,20,15 done. All done with arms behind back.
    D. Trap 3 Raises - started with a pebble and worked myself up to a Revive bar. I rule.

    Should was not happy with thrusters today so I went with the front squats. I may have hurt my shoulder yesterday being to exuberant during the WOD. If that's the case, I am this guy - http://sports.ca.msn.com/other/photos/gallery.aspx?cp-documentid=22958613&page=4

    C: on rings. :26, :20, :19, :14, :14 rings suck.

  49. Checked comments for the first time today and was surprised to see that many people were feeling not 100% as I was. I backed off on this one and subbed shoudler press instead of thrusters...tweaked my lower back doing those SDLHPs somehow

    A. 25 kg, 26, 25(7+3), 22.5(7+3), 20(7+3)
    B. All Bwt
    C. 10, 10, 10, 10, 8 (these were strangely therapeutic for my lower back...felt a lot better after these)

    Going to re-evalutate if I have taken enough time off since sectionals. I'll see how the next few workouts go. If I am not ready to eat bees might take some more time off/significantly reduce the training workload.

    B) 5x2.5#/5x5#/5x7.5/5x10#(David said I did 4 here, but I'm pretty sure it was 5...so, 4 or 5 here). 4x15#. Used a light bag with plates in it for weight. When I emptied it after the last round I realized I had 15# in it instead of the 12.5# I thought was there! It was like Christmas!!!
