Nice job with the weight loss Wood. Keep it up.

[Coke]

Good deal on the backup gym, lol...gonna be an even sexier beast this summer.

Thanks fellas. It's been hectic the past week. Got in a quick one today. I think crossfit calls it "Randy".

75 Power Snatch @ 75lbs. Mine was 77lbs

Took 9:31. Two minutes slower than I did it a couple years ago..lol

We're gutting both bathrooms soon. Glad I don't do my workouts in there! LOL

Found this workout at wodshop.com

For time..

500m Run
25 Thrusters (77lb)
20 KB Swing (53lb)
15 Overhead Squat (77lb)
10 Burpees
500m Run
10 Burpees
15 OHS
20 KB Swing
25 Thrusters
500m Run

30:20. Really tough, probably because my conditioning isn't where it was a few months ago. It felt good though.

[thecityalive]

any time I see 500m run, I always associate it with sprint training when we would do burnout training for the 400. Brutal. thats a solid WOD there. and yeah, weeks turned into months. that's how shit happens I suppose.

Glad to see you keeping in step while doing the various home projects.

[mrelwooddowd]

Thanks for the read fellas. And Rob I agree, sprints are awful. Mine started out a jog and the last one was a shuffle..lol

Sore as shit Thursday and Friday. Super busy all weekend. It never ends, but life is great.

Today..another from wodshop.com

20 minute AMRAP

5 Push Press @ 80lb
10 sit-ups
15 ball slams @ 20lb

Got 11 Rounds plus 5 push press. Good little workout. I kept pretty much the same pace throughout.

[Coke]

Not doing too bad, got 11 rounds in the bag dude.

[Chubrock]

I'm liking that last workout Pat...might have to file it away and use it on down the road.

[mrelwooddowd]

Thanks for the read, Terry. Much appreciated as always.

Andrew..it was a good one. My conditioning is so bad though. I should have had 14-15 rounds.

It actually called for a weighted vest but I don't have one--but you do I'm sure.

Today..in the driveway again.

500m Run

3 Rounds

10 Power Clean @ 140
15 KB Swing

500m Run

Not sure what my time was. I think it was around 13 minutes. Not too bad I suppose.

[Coke]

Liking the driveway effort(s)... gonna be even more fun watching you come time to reset, we are in the same boat on that front.

[mrelwooddowd]

Thanks man. I'm tryin to at least maintain to some degree. I'm sure I'll have some catching up to do but I've maintained or lost weight and I've been able to work on my running some. I've hot 5 days off starting tomorrow so I'll have my gym set back up.

You taking a layoff from it or just tone it down?

---Monday

4 Rounds

10 Push Press @ 100lbs
10 Back Squat @ 100
500m Run

I think it was 18 minutes. Seems slow.


---Today

3 Rounds

30 Double Unders
25 Ball Slams
20 Sumo High Pull @ 80lbs
15 Med Ball Cleans
10 Burpees
5 Push Press @ 80

I think it took 23:46. This was a bad one, and mainly because I'm just out of shape compared to 6 weeks ago. Not a big deal. If it hurts, it hurts..lol
