WOD - Glute-ham Sit-ups, Back Extensions

Pack:
Four rounds for time of:
20 Glute-ham sit-ups
15 Back extensions

Damon WOD
30x1,20x3 Glute-ham sit-ups
25x1,15x3 Back extensions

15:41

18:25 on 1.28.09 and did last set regular situps and supermans
First time doing a complete wod on my new machine. Felt like the muscles were 'wadding up' during each consecutive set of sit-ups. Seemed to loosen as I did more. Put hands at waste and kept them there during situps. Back extensions did not feel the issue. Gonna hurt for days.. I can just tell.

Took weekend off so doing Fight Gone Bad instead of Nicole.

“Fight Gone Bad!“
Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20” box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of “rotate”, the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

Wall-Ball 22,20,18
Sumo DL 16,13,16
Box Jumps 22,20,15
Push Press 17,14,12
Bike 17,16,14
Total = 253

Wow. This is one of the tougher workouts I have done. Could not breath enough after this.

WOD - Front Squats

Front squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps

155, 155, 175x2, 175x2, 165x1

Lots of pain in wrists again. Bar was comfortable on the shoulders and chest but wrists hurt severly while just holding the bar standing up. Will work on flexibility. Maybe do front squats during CFWU (when I do CFWU).

WOD - J.T.

Pack:21-15-9
HSPU (If you cannot do HSPU choose the hardest progression you are able to and use that)
Bar dips
Push ups

Damon WOD
HSPU knees on extension machine first set, then couch second and third
Bench dips
Push ups

I was shocked at how difficult this was. My triceps just failed for most of the second half of this workout. I dropped relatively hard onto my head half way through second set of HSPU (knees on ext. machine) which hurt a bit. I litereally did 12 pushups with on my knee for the last 6 because I could no longer do a pushup. Definetly worked some muscles hard.

19:34 I know time sucked..

Damon WOD
Three rounds for time of:
Hang squat clean, 5 reps 115F 105x5, 105x5, 95x10
15 ft towel pull ups band assisted

Sobering. I knew I would suck at the rope/towels but the hang squat cleans really sucked too. I need to work on getting under the bar with my chest. I catch the weight on my arms and I cannot catch 115#. I finished with about 25 hang squat cleans with 45#. It is difficult to type btw.
