Boot Camp

Early afternoon

Workout: Boot Camp

4 Rounds: AMRAP in 1 minute

Push Press (45# DBs)

KB Swings (55#)

Box Jumps (24in)

Plank Pushups

Squat Thrust w/ Mountain Climber

16, 16, 9, 9, 6

Finished things up with Tabatta situps: 12

Workout comments: I always treat these kinds of workouts on the Tabatta scoring system, because there is really no way to keep track of all the reps during each round. Had no energy today. Little sleep and no breakfast probably are to blame for that. I don't think I have ever had the sensation of honestly wanting to walk out of a workout because I was doing so badly. I probably should have, because I took a spill during the third round of box jumps. Could have been worse, but it was still throbbing pretty bad for the rest of the workout.

Tabatta Situps, Barbell Complex

Late Afternoon

I haven't done an honest Crossfit weighted workout since last Wednesday, and I wasn't sure if I would be well rested, or just out of shape.

WU: Shoulder dislocates, ankle stability on Bosu ball
Tabatta situps: 13

I was hoping to hit 14 again, a number I reached a few weeks back. Despite the speed at which I thought I was moving, I just seemed to run out of gas after about 3 rounds.

Workout: Barbell complex

AMRAP in 20 minutes:

5 Thrusters (95#)
7 Hang Power Cleans (95#)
10 SDHP (95#)

My goal for this workout was 10 rounds. I figured I could easily average 22 reps in approx. 2 minutes or less. Boy was I wrong. The first round flew by in 1:39, which was surprising, but it was all downhill from there. I lost count of the rounds at some point, but I'm pretty sure it was either 7 or 8 complete rounds. I'm leaning towards 7 rounds, because that averages just under 3 minutes per round, which is what I was clocking some of my later rounds to be.

This was a really tough workout, probably should have been even tougher had I attacked it has hard as I should have. I still have to work on mental toughness and get "comfortable" in the anaerobic "red zone."
