Crossfit Football WOD

One Minute On…One Minute Off…for 10 minutes.
30 KB Swings – 55/35

*You have 1 minute to get 30 KB swings. If you do not get 30 KB Swings in 1 minute, count a penalty.

*Perform this workout one minute on and one minute off. Total time is 10 minutes.

*If you count a penalty, perform a single 800 meter run for each penalty.


I used a 30 lbs. dumbbell for the first 3 rounds, but for the last 2 rounds I switched to a 25 lbs. weight.  I was able to complete all rounds within the time frame, but my arms sure tightened up while going through each round.  Although I didn't receive a penalty, the workout was fast so I ran 1000m for "fun".

100 Double Unders
100 m Farmers Carry- heavy as possible.
30 Pull-ups  
100 m Farmers Carry
30 Pull-ups
100 m Farmers Carry
100 Double Unders


Time:  21:00

*(Since I definitely can't do 100 DU yet, I had to settle for doing 300 single jump ropes each round.  If you're doing the math, that makes for a grand total of 900 jump ropes.  I hate the jump rope!  
I carried 35 lbs. dumbbells in each hand for the farmer's carry, for 70 lbs.
The first round of pull ups were assisted with the band, but with the tightening of my arms by the 2nd go around, I resorted to jump ups!)  
This was a tough one!

April 19, 2013

10-5-5-3-3-3-3 reps of:
power clean
Your goal is to have the final set of 3 power cleans be as heavy as you can perform correctly.
Then 4 attempts of: deadlift
Don't mess around with building up slowly on these 4 singles.
Your posterior chain will already be very warmed up by the power cleans.
Your final deadlift attempt should be for a new max.


I worked on both of these techniques for a good 30 - 40 minutes.  By the end, I reached 90 lbs. Power Clean and 135 lbs. Deadlift.  Unfortunately those were my PR's from before.  I know that I need to work on my hip motion on the Power Clean so that I can gain more power.

April 18, 2013

80 air squats
80 push ups
80 sit ups
Run 400 meters carrying 25# plate
80 kettlebell swings 53/35
80 burpees
80 box jumps 24/20
Run 400 meters carrying 25# plate

This is a partner workout.  Get through the 80 reps however you and your partner wish.   Whoever is not working must be holding a 25# plate.  The plate can not touch the ground.  If the plate touches the ground during the workout, there is an immediate 25 burpee penalty for BOTH partners.  Both partners must run the  400 meters.


Partner:  Jen
Time:  26:24 Rx 
(Thankfully we started with the harder stuff first and went in reverse order.  We also did 10 reps each before trading off with each other...AND luckily, we NEVER dropped the 25 lb. dumbbell!)

“The Bear Complex”

5 Rounds of 7 sets of:

1 Power Clean
1 Front Squat
1 Push Press
1 Back Squat
1 Push Press

Each combination of the five movements is considered one repetition.  You will complete 7 repetitions per round.  Increase weight for each of the five rounds.  This is not a timed workout, the objective is maximum weight.  Rest as needed between rounds, but the barbell cannot be released during the seven repetitions within the round.


Today I didn't feel like pushing myself too hard, not that I could have much harder...
Round 1:  45 lbs.
Round 2:  50 lbs.
Round 3:  52.5 lbs.
Round 4:  55 lbs.
Round 5:  60 lbs.
Now looking at things, I wish I would have increased by 5 lbs. each round.  Oh well...there's always tomorrow.

15 minutes to complete:

40 kettlebell swings (35/53)
40 knees to elbow
400 m run

2 rounds

then

double unders for remaining time

Score is number of double unders


So...I completed the 2 rounds with about 3 minutes left to spare.  Not that it matters, unless you can do double unders, which I can't.  I tried for them the whole 3 mins., and I believe I got a total of 7.  They felt different and sounded like DU so I hope I was doing them.  I will have to work on them on my own time!
