lobsteriffic Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 05/14/11: 10K TT - 1:01:48. Kind of disappointed in my time. But my legs were SCREAMING at me the whole way, and I still have lots of gross gunk in my lungs from my cold. Had to stop a couple of times during the second half to cough up a lung. Reminds me of when I used to be a smoker. Lovely. 05/15/11: Wanted to do a CF WOD, but I figured with my legs as tired as they were I should just take a rest day. Will roll/stretch before bed. Might hit up the hot tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcella Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 So I've been lurking on your and MaryStella's logs...reading your workouts...and I'm finally going to ask what is probably a stupid question: What's "WOD" stand for?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 "workout of the day", it's a CrossFit thing. I don't do official CrossFit, but Mary does, she's a coach actually. And she was kind enough to set me up with some CrossFit WOD's I can do at my gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob PMFF Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Everyone's burpees start to look sad toward the end, don't feel bad Squat numbers are looking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 if it feels like torture your doing it right! yeah everyone is breaking down during the wods. it's kinda how it goes. I hope you are finally completely over the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 okay wow, life got kind of crazy last week, wasn't online much at all. But it was a deload week for me so I guess the timing worked out. Anyway, back at it today. 5/31/11: Ended up working at home so I didn't get weight training in, but I did a running WOD this AM:2 x 12 min. intervals, 2 min rest between This evening I'm going to make sure I get in at least 30 min. stretching/foam rolling. I haven't stretched or anything in over a week and I feel really tight and sore. I'm thinking of getting a pair of push up bars:http://www.amazon.com/Cap-Barbell-Definity-Push-Holder/dp/B002OEQ50Y/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I38VF5VL0X2A6R&colid=1HVALBLKZYKQO They were suggested to me in order to increase my ROM. Has anyone used them before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob PMFF Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I haven't used those specifically, but I've used tables, or other objects to serve the same purpose. I'd improvise to save money, but if you do get them, I'm sure it will improve your strength in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 How do you use tables? I'm confused. Or do you mean doing incline push ups between two tables? Is it better to do incline push ups rather than use the bars down on the floor? 06/01/11: OHP Day - Wave A: OHP:2x5x451x3x452x5x551x6x652x10x551x6x55 (fail)2x10x45 Assisted Chins (60 lbs assistance):643 Farmer Walks:3 sets with 50 lb db's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob PMFF Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Like coffee tables. They're already pretty close to the floor. I honestly don't know what is better. I get that shaky feeling in my arms and shoulders, so it's doing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Oh I gotcha! I was thinking kitchen tables, and then I was wondering why you had two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 06/02/11: Grip sucked today. But then I remembered I was doing farmer walks yesterday. I normally have a a day in between farmers walks and deadlifts but my schedule just didn't work out that way this week. No biggie. Deadlifts:1x5x751x5x951x3x1051x5x1151x5x1351x5x145 RDL:1x10x951x10x1053x10x115 DB Static Lunges:3x10x30 Hanging Leg Raises:3x8 Will stretch out/foam roll this evening.

Rob PMFF Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 What is different about the way you do your OHP and your Push Press? I think of them as the same exercise. Do you do them with your knees locked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
