CFFB

Crossfit Football day 1

Strength work: 3x10 @ 225 (Workout was to use your 5rm for a set of 10, used 225 which is about 20lbs less than my 5rm but i think the desired result was achieved, broken sets were rested momentarily on the rack then re-engaged, 3 mins was taken between sets.)

7/3, 7/3, 5/2/3

Then

Jerk 1 rm

185 (pr 205)

So yeah Im a pussy who is scared to get under the bar. Might try a shot of jack daniels before this next time. Hit 205 at sectionals when I was a more of a man.

then

150 pushups (any break constitutes a 40m dash)

9:50 with 10 penalties

this was rough, i sprint like a slow robot and pushups after 70 made me feel like a contestant on the biggest loser.

Overall, this is exactly what I need. I suck at most of these things and have alot of room for improvement, very excited about that.

Sectionals and rest week

Sectionals were this past weekend, had a great time. Mk won the womens division and we had Cat and Tanner in the top 10 as well. Great performances from RH and Colin too. I am happy with my performance as well especially after factoring in my hamstring was not 100%. I placed 59/140 with my personal highlights being hitting PRs on my clean and jerk (195, 205) and winning the first heat of the last wod.

I am taking five days off completely. Took a bikram yoga class yesterday, and my hip flexors are feeling it. Drank some beer ate some crappy food, ready to get back to business though.

My training is going to shift from focusing on crossfit competition to Rugby 7s. This gear change will include more sprints, sandbags, and a more focused effort on olympic lifts. I am going to keep my metcons down to 2 a week to allow for more recovery from sprint sessions and the other work ill be doing. I plan on being in the box 4 to 5 days a week still.

The past few months I feel like I have kept myself in a state of perpetual exhaustion and I am going to attempt to include more rest in an effort to stay fresh and deliver more quality work in contrast to a higher volume work load.

Hamstrung out

First 100m sprint of the first rugby specific wod i designed and I pull my hamstring around the 50m mark......FML. Thought I warmed up thoroughly but in hindsight I did neglect to stretch my hamstrings as I was much more focused and loosening my hips up.

after regathering

Four attempts at handstand pushups

Reps: 4, 5, 4, 4 (even kicking up to the wall was painful)

then

10-1 Ladder

Deadhang pullups
Ring dips

11:30

The hamstring is starting to loosen a little, i think.

Diet: breakfast (nice and early 230 am) 4 eggs, asparagus, blueberries, almonds. Morning- turkey thigh, broccoli, apple, almonds. Afternoon- turkey leg, broccoli, almonds. Postwod- whey and banana. Dinner - sea scallops, rock shrimp in olive oil, sun dried tomatoes, olives & asparagus.

Reverse Monkey Grip

Workout:

3 rounds for time

25x wallball
50x double unders
5 x 12ft rope climbs (1st round done at 15ft, then the guns lost power)

time: 14:55

Took a wod off of colin's blog and flipped it. Had 3 movements I wanted to touch on before sectionals. this wod had a nice feel to it, just wish i had more power on those rope climbs. double unders were decent under stress, same with wall ball. props to colin for handling all those climbs at 15ft.

Diet: breakfast- 4 eggs, half an avocado, broccoli, almonds. postwod- whey and banana. Lunch (dads birthday)- some pulled pork, 4 baby back ribs with some mustardy bbq sauce(went for the mustard based sauce as a feeble attempt to avoid extra sugar) broccoli, carrots and almonds. Afternoon- turkey leg, broccoli, almonds. Dinner- probably some curry without rice from Raku.

Skill Sets

warmup: 5 min row ~1300m

3x
10m high knees
10m butt kicks
10m high kicks

4 x 100m sprints

Then 5 rounds

2x muscle ups
3x Handstand pushups
4x Pistols (each leg)
10x 2pd kb swings

2 min rest btw sets

Notes: muscle ups went pretty smoothly, getting doubles on all but 1 set. i think i figured out a technique flaw i had that was holding me back. handstand pushups did not go so well, i think im just not strong statically pushing overhead. I will try to hit these one more time hard before sectionals. pistols went fine, kb swings as well.
