CrossFit Rx 
Sooo…every morning, the first thing I do when I get into the office (around midnight for you guys) is check CrossFitRx to see what everyone’s scores are. It keeps me motivated.
I think the website is a great tool to track progress and for team-building as well.
Can you encourage everyone to participate or post times? It’s selfish of me, but it’s the highlight of my day! =)
Miss you guys!
Cait
Does this go for the growlery as well?
Oooh, i never check there. Is that where everyone is hiding?
Some Growlery folks post on both sites, some just on the Growlery page.
Thanks Cait! Glad you miss us, we miss you too!
Noon Growlery:
Front squats were MUCH improved, 59#. Yay!!!! For the 21-15-9, did ALL the lateral jumps! Yay!!!!! Thrusters still fill me with despair, 44#. Boooo!!!!
Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement when I wanted to quit and/or cry.
Forgot to post my time, 19:53
great job!!! 🙂
Practiced deadlifts today and got Mac to help me with my form.
Happy birthday, Mac!
OOH! Happy Birthday MAC!
Did yesterday’s WOD
176# for the DL (~75% 1RM)
3 rds + 200M
77 lb for all of the frontsquats
21-15-9
BB lateral burpees
Thrusters 65 lb
12:19 (I think…)
Even though I hate them, I think my thrusters are improving, if ever so slightly.
Today I felt a different kind of soreness in my back, a little deeper than the normal surface muscle which has me slightly worried. I think it might have been the 30 190# consecutive DL’s from Saturday’s team WOD, but not sure. I took today off to see if it gets better as I cannot afford any injuries before Saturday. I’m hoping to do 3 cycle days and 1 rest day before the “10”. In preparation, I think I’m going to run all my 400m warmups with a 25# (or more) overhead, and I hope Damon let’s me do some work with 95# overhead stuff. There’s a lot of this in the challenge so I want to be ready…just hope the back thing is just regular soreness.
Fingers crossed.
Oh no!! I hope it IS just regular soreness. 😦
I find that deadlifts for reps can do the same for me… generally a few days and I find it gets better
Made up Nancy:
Used 43# for OHS
19:37
Great time!! Fast!!
I did a bunch of the “ten” WODs today to see how they felt (and to help decide if I will sign up Tues or not)
1. 800 Meter Run w/ 20lb Vest – 3:15 Min (legs were burning)
2. Box Jumps – 40inches – AMRAP 3 Minutes – 13, with 2 spectacular falls. Very HIGH!
3. 155lb Ground to Overhead – AMRAP (I did 1 Min instead of 3) – 7
4. Couplet
12 135lb Overhead Squats; 50 Double Unders; 9 OHS; 50 DU; 6 OHS; 50 DU
My time was 14:19 Min, and this one was where I decided I had enough for one day. Much, much harder than I had anticipated. Humbling.
You fell spectacularly and survived? Good to hear. (I’m working on conquering my fear of the box jump.)
Damn. How long did you rest between WODs?
I think only 3-5 minutes or so. I think on Sat there will be much more time between WODs.
Sometimes I rest 3-5 minutes DURING a WOD…so Bravo.
I hope so. Hell, I just hope I make it through the day.
you will do great… the energy at these things are quite amazing. I love the competitions. If you are anything like me, you will be frothing at the mouth and ready for the next competition by the end of the day:)!
