Walking Lunges @ 75 lbs. sandbag
10 wallballs

It was a fun WOD! I really liked the whole thing, and I love doing tire flips. The next day I was really sore!

This was a really interesting WOD. We did all core for three rounds with a 1 minute break between each round.
2/7/13
Fight Gone Core!
Toes to Bar
Twisted planks
Weighted situps
Barbell Reverse curls to the side using 135 lbs.
Twistes
I love this type of WOD. All the exercises were challenging. The toes to bar was tough just holding on. I was tired. The planks really hit my hips nicely. The weight situps are are really hard because you have to look through the plate’s hole. I did a 45 lb plate. We the reverse curls holding a bar bell with weight in the air at 135 lbs by the third round I could not get the bar up. The twists were just tough. I really liked the WOD!

Day 33: Brina and Overhead squats
2/6/13
Happy Birthday Brina!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, this was an interesting test for me. I still need to develop more mobility in the hips. When I do the Overhead squat, I still cannot get as low as Ryan wants me to be at: about 6 inches I am off. This was a good benchmark
2/6/13
Brina’s Bday WOD! What could it be? Well i know the consensus of people already know the answer to that. I mean it has be a movement with a squat right…? And just so everyone knows, this is her doing not mine.
24 Min Time Cap
100 Overhead Squats (you pick your poison)
Every Min on the Min 10 Grasshoppers
The Overhead squats I started with a 45 lb bar but the mobility was not there yet. So I finished with a PVC pipe. The grasshoppers sucked!

I was really happy with the WOD and the progress I am making. The wod went very wel. All of it iwas solid. The only thing I did not do RXed was the box jumps I 24 inches instead of 30.

2 Min Rest
7 Min AMRAP
27 Air Squats
7 Shoulder to Overhead (135/95)
7 Bar Facing Burpees
I did the tucks then I practiced my Double Under form. I like the Power cleans. I did pikes instead of modified handstands because of the space issue. There were a lot of people at the box. I was really happy with the squat. I was nailing the medicine ball. I was happy I think I made a significant move regarding my depth in a positive manner. I did the shoulders un-broken. I was thrilled I did all the burpee jumps totally correct!
