I hate cleans..

Today's Workout:

6X8 Squats 225lbs

5x Superset:
8 reps Flat Bench 170lbs
10 Shoulder Raises 5lbs

4x Superset:
8 Chin ups
5 Cable Forward Tricep extensions 40 lbs
5 triceps pull downs 40 lbs
5 Seated Cable Row 55 lbs

5x Superset:
5 Hang Cleans 105lbs
5 Bent Over Bar Rows 105 lbs

3 Farmers Walks (roughly 120 meters)

4x8 Front Squats on a Bosu Ball 45 lbs

1 round of "Jacob Ups" (roughly 10 meters)
-jacob up: start off in pushup position, pushup, walk your hands forward, do a pushup with shoulders extended, then walk feet forward until you're back into pushup position, repeat.



I do not like Cleans. They made me really tired.
First time doing Jacob ups in a long time.



I like to do a whole body workout every time i go to the gym. I don't have enough time to go everyday because of work and school, so I go 3 times a day (tues, thurs, sunday). I also usually don't repeat the same workout every time. however, I do try to include squats and some form of bench press in every workout.


Oh yeah. I tested my dumbbell bench on thursday. I did 1 set of 5 with 90 lbs, and a set of 4 with 95. I guess I'm making progress.

Brutal Crossfit workout

I did the WOD for tuesday march 23.

For Time:
70 Burpees
60 Situps
50 Kettlebell Swings (20 lbs)
40 Pull-ups
30 Handstand pushups

I decided that 40 pull ups straight would be really hard so I split it up in 2 sets (45 burpees, 30 situps, etc.)

This workout was Epic. Tough. Brutal.
Burpees were really really tough after the first set. Sit ups weren't too bad I just did 30 straight each time. The swings were tough for the second set: i had to take a break after 30 reps. second set pull ups were tough as well: broke it down into 10, 5, 5. Handstand pushups were hard. I'm not skilled enough to do it without a wall. they were really hard. I had to do like 3-6 at a time.

I did the whole workout in 14:25. The fastest time on the Crossfit website was under 10 minutes... @_@

After the workout, I felt really lightheaded and wanted to throw up. Luckily, I didn't.

After that we just played around in the gym doing random exercises.
6 bent over rows, 10 pushup super set.
Triceps pull downs
and some ab exercises

workout for today

4x6 Deadlifts (225, 225, 225, 240)

5x5 Flat Bench (135, 185, 205, 225, 135)

4x5 Incline Bench (135, 135, 185, 135)

*Superset Squat-Pullups 6x8,6
(135, 135, 155, 155, 175, 175)- for squats

2x6 Arnold Press (35)

4x6? Dumbbell Shoulder Press (55)

5 minutes on stairmaster - "interval training"



Anyways, today was an alright workout. I dont like working out by myself. I don't like not having a spotter at the ready. im still uncomfortable asking random dudes to spot me.

deadlifts were alright. it was kinda hard to grip with a bandaid on my finger. but no excuses play like a champ. i say 6/10

bench was alright too. thats the first time ive done 225 without a spotter, i was kinda scared at first but it worked out fine.

i dont usually do incline bench. maybe i should start.. i had to have someone spot me for 185. it was kinda heavy for me :|

superset was tough. i usually dont do deep squats, hence my baby weights. i hate squats, i do not like them. pull ups were alright. my grip was kind of slippery... oh well. tried doing a muscle up. lolololol epic fail. i should learn so i can be so pro.

arnold presses. lolol i havent done them in a while, i was just curious to see how it would go. before i did 30s, and that was maybe 3 months ago... could have done more, should have done more (reps, sets, and weight)

shoulder press. they were tough i guess. moved up on weight i was repping 4x8 at 50 pounds last week.

i try do a little bit of cardio like 5-10 mins after each workout. lololol


didnt have enough time to do cleans, flys, abs... stuff i was planning on doing before my workout..  i had to meet up with the fambam... oh well i guess ill have to do them next time
