Hoo-Yah!!

Did the PM workout first....

250 yds swim: 3:00/4:00
1200 m run: 5:00/5:50

Swim felt good, took longer to warm up than i expected. The first set was the easiest. Second set had to focus more. It also didn't help that the pool was 85 degrees.

Run started out ok.... Did it on a dirt road that was level.

As Rx'd:

Time:19:01 mins.

Notes: First time doing overhead squats. Did not like them at all; torques my wrist alot. Runs were at sub 5:30 min/mi pace.

First real time doing overhead squats as well. I have a question for all you pros: on the Crossfit site they say your grip should be wide such that there is a bit of resistance in your shoulders when the bar goes too far back. If I follow this advice, my grip must be really wide, as I think by shoulder flexibility is pretty low. Is it okay to have a grip that is about six inches from each end of the bar for this exercise?

the best advice i can give is, short of being coached by a pro, do it where you are comfortable and safe while unfamiliar with the lift.

personally, my grip is pretty wide too.

Mine is wider also, I am a little older so my shoulder flex is not what it should be either. I can't get down as deep into a squat as I would like and the weight is still more toward my toes.

I scaled it back to 65 lbs.

The gym was so crowded that each time I went to run the 1/4 someone was in my spot. I gave up after two sets.

No second workout either, today was not my day for sure.

There is always tomorrow.

:D

as rx'd 22 minutes flat... kind of weird but my overhead squats started to feel stronger at the end of the workout...probably just got used to the motion...also where are the AM/PM workouts coming from?

Depends on your wingspan. Bar will be between 6" and 12" above your head.. practice with a broomstick. There's a snatch workshop online from coach B that you will learn many good things from.

Take the time to watch all 4 parts.

As rx'd 11:04. My first really good CrossFit time ever! I'm finally starting to improve my performance. All I needed was a rest day. I didn't realize how exhausted my body was from 6 days on until Sunday when I woke up around 9:30 and still felt tired all day. It feels good to finally do a WOD with a good time.

Decided to do my first mock PST today instead of the WOD. Just wanted to see where i was at.
Swim - 11:50
Pushups - 54
Situps - 94
Pullups - 13
Run - 9:54

Really disappointed in the swim because i have swam a 500 in like 10 min before, but whatever.

I have a few questions about the PST though. Are goggles allowed during the swim? I remember reading in a thread that they weren't, is this true? And also during the pushups are you allowed to go leaning rest position and recover your arms some? I realize that if you want competitive scores you better be doing pushups for all 2 min but i went into leaning rest like three times so just wondering if i cheated or whatever.

googles are allowed for dep test, but not in boot or bud/s. no rest position during pushups or youre finished

Modified the WOD to be 135 lb back squats instead of 95 lb OHS.

Time = 16:27;

Wasted about a minute a round running up and down stairs from the squat rack to the track.

[cbrittendahl]

Time: ~27 minutes.

Only time I had to go to the gym was during peak time. I had to wait quite a bit, therefore I decided to increase the run distance slightly. After I worked on pullups and various ab exercises followed by some swimming.
