10/24/2010 - 7 mile Run at Town Lake

Workout:
  • 7 Mile Run around Town Lake
Time: 1:19:23

Slow run again, mile 6 was slow. I think it was because of all the squats I did at the UTB workout on Saturday.

Zach said you require the ability to do 4 dead hang pull ups and 4 proper ring dips before you can do one muscle up. I can do both, but I didn't try for a proper muscle up, they were all scaled down.

Crossfit 9/23/2010 WOD(No Name)

Workout:
  • Warmup
Amrap, 8 rounds for 20 seconds:
  • Pull Ups
  • Lunges
  • Wall Balls @ 20lbs
Complete all 8 rounds of each exercise before moving to next.

We finished that quick, so we did some "Floor Barbell Presses", basically benchpressing off the floor. Makes no sense to me.

5 sets of 5 - Floor Barbell Presses w/partner
  • 1st Set @ 135
  • Last 4 sets @ 185
I freaking hurt my back doing this. Not benching, but deadlifting the weight up for my partner: tired from WOD, not paying attention, in a hurry. Recipe for disaster. I'm not doing that Floor Barbell Press again.

Crossfit 9/21/2010 WOD(No Name)

Workout:
  • Warmup
Skills:
  • Dumb Bell Squat / Clean form practice @ 45lbs per dumbbell
Amrap - 7 Rounds (30 seconds per round), as many reps per round as you can
  • Dumbbell Squat / Clean @ 35lbs
  • Ring Push ups
Total: I dunno, I didn't write that down, I think I averaged 5/10 per round. I will say that I had to stop doing the ring push ups, had a sharp pain in my right shoulder, like the cuff or something. When I dropped to regular push ups, no pain at all. Something about stabilizing the rings that killed it. And obviously we didn't warm up our shoulders correctly.

Crossfit 9-18-10 Handstand Seminar

Workout:

Warmup:
  • Typical Crossfit Warmup - No Run, but with these additions:
  • Grid warmup (hands on ground, feet on ground, facing up - swap opposite hands and feet, was good for coordination)
  • Wrist warmup (vanderlei silva wrist roll, both directions)
  • Wrist warmup (on knees with hands on ground, putting more pressure on wrists and moving side to side, then plank up and repeat)
  • Shoulder circles (palms up, palms down, palms vertical - small and large circles)
Handstand Workout:
  • front flips on mats, to demonstrate how to roll out of a failed handstand
  • balancing both hands - place elbows in pockets at inside of knee - if you fall forward, let your head hit and teeter back
  • wall walks (first time for me)
  • Triangle handstands - hands on ground, head in front of hand 6-12 inches, stand feet up
  • wall kick ups (worked on form, take sprinter stance, kick up one leg at a time - be graceful)
  • rubber band handstands (strap in and place hands on floor, kick up and wrap leg around band - get vertical)
  • wall kick ups (this time get used to removing one foot from wall, then both feet from wall)
Parallettes Workout:
  • Tuck, knees together, tucked into chest, rocking in a controlled motion back and forth (seemed good for core)
  • High tuck (rock farther upwards)
  • L-Sit (very difficult)
  • In and Outs (kick feet in front and behind in a controlled motion
  • Straight Planks - I've always wanted to do this. I did them well. It's easier to do them with parallettes than the floor because of the wrists.
  • Split leg planks
Overall I thought it was a good seminar, very basic common sense stuff that's sometimes better explained by someone who knows what they are talking about.

It did not help that I ran 5 miles right before this workout.
