Increasing laod each round

Josh: 40kg - 41kg - 42kg - 42.5kg - 43.5kg - Hang cleans pretty hard, just need to work on technique.

Making the cut

Had last exam for a while on thursday, had a couple of lazy days resting the mind and body after the last few weeks of living in the library revising. Been helping my shin splint to recover although it's not quite there yet. Got a small session in on the 9/2/11 and did a scaled WOD this morning(13/2/11) and another scaled WOD this evening.

9/2/11

Did a 3 round Barbara;

Rest 3 minutes between rounds

20 Pull Ups
30 Push Ups
40 Situps
50 Squats

Simon: Did two rounds and a half rep round, 9 minutes 10 seconds, 13 minutes 35 seconds, 5 minutes 35 seconds - This did not feel good, this was the point when I decided a few days off after a stressful week was needed.

Josh: 7 minutes 24 seconds, 7 minutes 49 seconds, 10 minutes 1 second.



13/02/11

Did WODS from Crossfit.com;

AM

Simon: Did a bit of a test on my leg and did a short and unintensive Jump Rope session, got a little pain so more rice is needed. Scaled 15 Chest to bars, 30 sec ring L-sit hold Amrap to 6 Chest to bars and 15 sec L-sit hold on dipping bars. Took it steady and did jumping chest to bars after two rounds, the aim was to wake the body more than test it, managed 8 rounds, steady.

PM

'Wittman'

7 rounds for time

25kg Kettlebell Swing 15 reps
45kg Power Clean 15 reps
15 Box Jumps

Scaled this two 5 rounds using our the weight conversions above, for Kettlebell Swings used a dumbell, got big iron 10kg plates so can get a good grip.

Simon: 21 minutes 55 seconds, was a lie down on the floor job after this, would of liked to have pushed the box jumps abit faster but was weary of my shin so paced them abit.

Josh: 19 minutes 26 seconds, good time, just got to keep working on form.

Bring on tommorrow.
