A Brutal Weekend of WODs

Here it is Sunday night ALREADY!

Let's talk about some brutal WODs---

Saturday 5/15

Each person does 3 rounds (while you work your partner rests)

5 clean and jerks 85 lbs
10 chest to bar pull ups
1 ladder run/suicide run/cone run
5 Dead Lifts 155 lbs
20 Double Unders
10 wall balls 14 lbs
1 rope climb

This is the most brutal WOD I have EVER done in my crossfit career!
Forget the heavy lifts, the rope climb was a major commitment when there was a whole lot of fatigue.

The second round I push hard through the running and the lifts, THEN I got to the rope climb and for a few seconds of being 20ft (or so) up on the rope I thought I might fall. My arms were burning and my right leg was getting rub raw. Well I didn't fall but once I got down I was not sure if I could finish the last round. No workout have ever made me feel that way. This workout, no joke, a mental and physical challenge. I am proud to say I finished my 3rd round and even felt strong on my last rope climb. Oh and forgot to mention this was the first time Aimee, Brooke or I have ever done a rope climb and we all got through it well. It is good to know how far you can push. Scary at the moment but good to know what the edge feels like. =)

Rope burn:




















Sunday 5/16

Break into teams of 2, each member completes 4 two minute rounds
While one team member is working the other is resting.

50 meter 50+ lbs sand bag lung walk carry
5 Macgyver Burpees (Hit the deck, roll under rope, jump up and lateral hope over rope)
50 lbs kettle bell swings (as many as you can get before your 2 mins is up)

Bwah and I got 92 points (poor guy, I only got 17 of those 92 points)















This WOD doesnt look horrible on paper but WOW the weights were heavy! My legs were shot with the sand bag carries, the Macgyver Burpees just hurt then to try to swing 50 lbs over head was rough. Shana was telling me to tighten my core and use my hips but with almost half my body weight there was just no pop in my hips. LOL something else to add to my list to work on "heavy ass kettle bell swing form"

Here are some FUN Photos I have been wanting to share:

85 lbs Over Head Squat (21 times ie my PR has to be pushing near at least 95-100lbs)





















Oregano Chicken:
Chicken (whatever cut you like will work)
EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
Salt
Pepper
Fresh Oregano

Chicken goes into a pan, put some EVOO on the Chicken, add salt, pepper and oregano.
I go light on the salt, medium on the pepper and heavy on the fresh oregano.
Bake until chicken is done and enjoy!

My sides, a yummy salad with balsamic vinegar and grated zucchini with onion and bacon.
