Tryin' Somethin New

After about 3 years of traditional lifting with 5/3/1 or Push pull or what not, I decided to try out cross-fit (after a long period of disdain for it).

I’ll say my first week has been awesome, I never thought I’d actually enjoy it, but its pretty awesome, and it’s FUN.

Aight so today 1/18/2011
SWOD (Strength workout of the day)
Dips - weighted
6 x 25
6 x 25
6 x 35
6 x 45
3 x 80
6 x 45

DWOD (basically whatever wod/variation i feel like, i decide a week ahead of time)
Fran (21/15/9) of 95 pound jerks and pullups

So 21 95 lb jerks then 21 pullups then 15 jerks etc.

Time 7:02. Not bad since this is the first time trying it. I wanna get a sub-5 within the next two times. I coulda shaved a minute off with motivation alone.

Forgot to post yesterday, did Filthy Fifty as my endurance DWOD:

50 Box Jumps (24in box)

50 Jumping Pull-ups

50 Kettle Bell swings (16kg)

50 Walking Lunges

50 Knees to Elbows

50 Push Press (45lb)

50 Back Extensions

DWOD: 30-20-10:
Push press/jerk, 95lbs

Got 8:21, I hit my shin on the box jump so that kinda sucked for time. All in all it kinda was a shitty day

1/23/11: DWOD: “Cindy”
20 minute AMRAP:
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 air squats

Got 20 rounds. Talked to my partner, not really sure how that measures up to where I wanna get but it was a hell of a workout. If I pushed myself harder could have gotten 24 or 25.
