Actually Mr Ord recommends taking Sunday and one other day off.

26:26 Had to break up pushups into smaller sets. Run on track.

[misterdelgado@gmail.com]

22:12 , felt pretty good. Squats on the last sets were broken up. Treadmill incline on 3%.

Another one that when you look at it on paper you think its going to be easy but then it kicks your butt.

As Rx'd and ran on a TM with 1% incline: 20:15

Oxygen debt woo hoo!

Me 27:54 Joe 22:00

I was enjoying my walk from the treadmill to the area to do squats and push ups.

[aeonolan]

33 something. Ugly. First WOD, though! I seriously need to sprint more. And PT. Good God.

[pipelinesurfer]

Fun day. I still have to make up that ruck run , although I don't want to lol !

What does RX'd mean. I figure it's when you finish but do the letters stand for something?

[gliddens]

Rx'd means as perscribed, or without any changes to the workout.

for example mine wasnt rx'd because i broke up the squats and push ups into alternating sets of 25.

time: 24:38

and how are you guys counting this? im guessing you just start the clock and stop when you are completely finished or are you just timing the excercises?

[rkryan2002]

Ran in park, quite hot. Completed 4 of 5 sets. Didn't time myself. In the evening, I finished the swim sets. I've finally learned the CSS.

Am back from my biz trip, but took a rest day yesterday. I had to make up some interesting WODs due to lack of equipment/facilities while away (and forgot my stopwatch):

5 rounds of:
10 DLs (105kg ~ 230#)
5 HSPUs + 20 Push-ups
30 Sit-ups
40 Squats
~20 minutes

5 rounds of:
5 Burpees
10 Thrusters (50kg ~ 110#)
15 KB Swings (24kg ~ 53#)
20 Walking Lunges
~12 minutes
This was way more punishing than I expected.

100 OHS (95#):
10, 5x15, 10, 5
~15 minutes
I thought about doing Nancy, but with the jetlag/stiffness from all the flights negged that idea.

Work continues to be a massive time drain, highly stressful given this transition and has been limiting my ability to workout. It's zapping all my energy, and every time I think I've got an opening to workout something comes up so it has been very de-motivating. I expect things to calm down soon, I hope, and then I can get back to 2x/days. What's even better, my back is tweaked from the flights - love 8 hrs in coach!

[bch0021]

I agree with the "looks easier on paper" comment.....This one was a total *** whip for me. Had to break the sets up at 5x10 on the squats and pushups....Mainly because of the pushups.
So...
Time - 29:18

One of these days I'm gonna beat some of these times posted....

I hear you gmt. My time for training will be drastically diminished during the next month since I am a glutton for overloading myself (I have 3 summer school classes, and work is about a week away from my busy time of year).

Time as Rx'd: 22:09; felt sluggish today.

gliddens: I time myself based on the difference between my start time and my end time for the whole workout--sometimes I'll check the time and make a mental note regarding my pace to see where it decreases/increases.

Had my bachelor party Sat. I took Sunday and Monday off to recover. Made this one up today. As rx'd 24:38

[gmt-nyc]

After today at work, I needed a double session to set my mind right. Guess I was out of it because I thought we were supposed to do 4 rounds, oh well. Took about 15-30 seconds between rounds to record my round times:

2:47, 6:30, 10:51, 15:01

Did this on the track by my house. Smoked the first round (400m in 1:01), then the second 400m my legs felt like they were made of lead (400m in 1:50). The 3rd and 4th 400m were back down to a more respectable 1:29 and 1:34), but I took 10-15 seconds rest after the run on those rounds before hitting squats and push-ups. That rest time was welcome, but hurt my time.

[jltiger143]

Had to scale and completed 5 rounds of .25 mile run, 25 squats and 25 pushups in 20:01.

Goal next time to do this one as Rx'ed, but I wanted to run more miles and kickbox tonight, and I knew the squats would do me in...and they did!

As rx'd 18:47

Good thing I didn't eat a lot before this one, because I would have probably blown chunks...this one was a good metcon.
Parishke, I am honored to tie your time....your times are always ridiculous on these WODs.
GMT, awesome time on your 1st 400...that was my PR in high school (which was mediocre for a track&field athlete)...dunno where my 400m PR is now though.

Oh yeah, weight is back at 148#...my scale upstairs must be wrong because it said I was 141# yesterday...guess I am gaining weight from all this lifting.

Another success today: pulled 276# x 5 on the deadlift today...equivalent to a 311# max deadlift...finally got 2x bodyweight deadlift!
