Death by Muscle Up

Short on time no warm up straight into WOD

With a continuously running clock do one muscle-up the first minute, two muscle-ups the second minute, three muscle-ups the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.

Use as many sets each minute as needed.

6 set plus 5.

first 4 sets were with no kip. Just dead hang. After that had no choice but to kip.

Broken Ass

Friday morning my engine light came on. I was going to be driving up north so Amy let me take her jeep so I wouldn't have any problems. Ended up getting into an accident. I was at fault so my insurance is gonna go up. Also I got a 110$ ticket for following too close. That and I think Amy is a little upset with me. Later that day we went to watch the UFC. It was fun to watch the fights with my friends. Randy kicked ass and GSP controlled the fight the whole time. Well anyway, Broken ass. After a few beers and being fired up from the fights I got back to my climbing tricks. Standing on a Post about 9 feet high I thought I could jump. Well I was right. I could jump. Just had a hard time sticking the landing. My feet slipped out from under me and I landed on my ass. It wasn't sore then but when I woke up this morning I could barely walk. The car ride home really sucked. Ass is very sore. Bruised the bone I am sure.

So the moral is I didn't workout Sat and Sunday.

Front Squat

CFWU x 3

Front Squat 3-3-3-3-3-3-3 reps
135LBS for all.
To finish I did one trip up the wall walk up thing with the pegs.

Only my second time doing front squats. Have had some bad experience with Front squats from lack of form. Today wanted to pay attention to the movements and not worry about the weight. Did well I thought. Front squat is a different beast then the back squat.

Have started to workout at the base. It is a well equiped gym if you are into spin classes or have no use for an olympic bar and weights. There is only one bar. The pull up station has ceiling tiles about 5 inches from your head. So in order to do the warm up I just slide the tile outta the way. Think I may get in shit for that though.

In the defence of the gym there were a few things it has going for it. There are 3 jump boxes of different sizes, there are about 10 different sized Med balls (heaviest is 16lbs), there are skipping ropes, there is also a large open space where the basketball court is, and best thing is they allow chalk. Although the only place there is chalk is on the bench press?

Look forward to some good WODs there are prices that can't be beat. Free!

A day behind JT

"J.T."

21-15-9 reps of:
Handstand push-ups
Ring dips
Push-ups

10:25

HSPU were about half way for the last round. Very tricep oriented!

Have been noticing a steep decline in performance since I have not been paying as much attention to my diet. I can see why the Zone is so important. If you are not zoning start now. I plan to take my own advice and start measuring again.
