F YEAH!!! I did it! This was crazy hard. I especially wanted to quit on that last mile but 3 others were running it again right there next to me. I sprinted the last 100m all out and felt great. I'm really hoping to shave 10% off my time in 30 days and finish in 55:00 or less

Great workout tonight. I felt good on the deadlifts and cleaned more weight than I usually do.

Weight lifted for the month so far: 93,050#

I'm really happy about the weight I used on the front squat. I got my new PR at 195# and I could have done a little more. I'm also happy with the 1/2 GI Jane because I did full burpees instead of the modified ones that I have been doing since the start.

"You don't know squat"

Warm
800m run
Partner Stretch

Skill
Front/Overhead/Back Squat

WOD
Squat ladder… (65#)
1x Squat the 1st minute… 2x Squats the 2nd…3x the 3rd
Minutes 1-9 overhead 10-19 front 20-??? are back squat

This was a weird WOD. By round 8 or 9 it became pretty hard. I made it to round 20, although I was using terrible front squat form to just try and keep going. I switched to air squats for the last 4 rounds and it was cutoff at 25mins.

"Stand by me"

Warm
400x Run 25x push ups/sit ups/overhead squats/pass throughs

3,3,3,3,3 (95#)

Ok, so my back was waaay sore from The Seven workout yesterday. Unfortunately, I only did 2 rounds of the main WOD tonight.

"The Seven"

7 Handstand push-ups
7 Thrusters @ 135/95 (75#)

7 Burpees
7 KBS @ 2 Pood/1.5 (50#)
7 Pull-ups
7x Rounds

Time = 41:38

This one was hard. The third round of deadlifts tore up my hand which is why I dropped the weight down so much. I'm happy that I used a heavier kettle bell than normal though.

“Burpees & Snatches” = “Batches”

Warm
Burgener Snatch Progression
Pvc/barbell/loaded

21, 15, 9
Thruster, pull up

95# Thruster
Smaller green banded pull up

11:46

This one was tough. Those thrusters were a killer. I think I only did 15 unbroken. Despite my time, I'm happy with my performance. I used rx weight and had never used that small of a band on the pull ups.

Raise the bar

1000x Row
30x Clean & Jerks *135/95 (75#)
800x Run
30x Overhead Squats *135/95 (75#)
*You must use the same weight for both lifts

Ok, so this one was harder than it looked at first. I really need to work on my overhead squats. They hurt my wrists because of the pressure put on them. I could have gone heavier on the split jerks. I had to switch to back squats after only 10 overhead squats.

9/11 Hero Workout

20 min AMRAP
9 burpees
11 pull ups (jumping)
21 kettle bell swings (35#)
(7 swings short of 7 rounds)

Great day at Crissfit Scottsdale! The airmen & women from Luke Airforce Base really came out and showed what they're made of. The workout was very hard, especially the kettle bell swings. I had to break them into sets of 7 towards the end. My back was also a little sore from the deadlifts on Thursday.

1rm deadlift followed by max rep HSPU
3x rounds

315/11 (hspu with feet on ground)
335/12
2x Fail @ 355/10

335 is my new PR deadlift. I had to use false grip in order to do the 315+. I should have tried 345 instead of going to 355. I'll get it next time. This one also tore my hands up pretty good. My lower back is also pretty sore right now.
