CrossFit in the Hills district- strength and conditioning gyms in Western Sydney

Last night I did 10min AMRAP of 10 swings 32kg and 40m sprint. This workout was FUCT if you actually sprinted the sprint. You know what I mean. I was sprinting and had to take 20sec between the next set of swings. Was horrible!!!!!!!
have no idea how many rounds I got out.

TODAY

MONDAY 27th August 2012

http://rebuildingredbull.blogspot.com.au
http://www.crossfitnorwest.com
http://www.rawstrengthandconditioning.com

A) 5 sets of 10 @ 90% 10RM back squat. So that was 90% of 149 so did sets at 134.6kg with 3min rest between sets

B)3RM push press. Did this 2 weeks ago and got 104.3kg to be exact. Was all in pounds so today I wanted to beat it. Failed 107.1kg 3 times. The best being 2 reps and a push but no press. Dropped it back and I know I am splitting hairs but today I got 105.6kg !! I''l take it!

C) 7 rounds for time
7 KB snatch L @ 32kg
7 KB snatch R @ 32kg
7 strict pull up
was cautious about frying the grip and was a little to conservative I think.
13.59 so 2 mins a round. AVERAGE

D) 2 rounds with 60ec break
10 push ups
100m sprint
15 push ups
80m sprint
20 push ups
60m sprint
25 push ups
40m sprint

* This was also tough as. Trying to sprint when your chest feels massive was hard. And also sprints we sprints and ran through the line

3.12 (broke push ups on 25 reps @ 10 then 3 x 5
rest 60sec
3.45 (broke push ups @ 20's into 5's and then 25's into 3 x 5, 4, 2, 4)

PM is later

with prowler pull ups and dips etc part 2 is a bit of tabata for fun

Pre prepared for today with plenty of magnesium from last night. Had a feeling today would be terrible. It was.

100m prowler sprints are not my favourite. On fact I can say they are up there with some of the worst. Left me tired and lethargic all day.

Woke up early and it was freezing. Everyone was complaining about the ice on the dash and frozen water in the hose on Facebook. I was spewing that the thermometer got to 8 degrees. Is that the first night under 10 up here?

AM session was short sharp and nasty. Little deadlift thruster metcon
21,15,9 deads at 100 thruster at 42.5kg. Tasty. Smashed out 4.01/4.02 couldn't tell. Was delirious at the time but I caught BJ's score of 5.44. Sim smashed out 5.57.......impressive. We chucked on some weight and went for a prowler WOD. Pretty much rotating 1:3 work rest for 5 mins to cover as much distance as possible. Yuk! We hit 440m but was so short and fast you couldn't think about it.

PM session was technique for me. Have not lifted weights in so long that 90kg destroyed my. Just did 5 sets of 1 hang squat clean and 2 split jerks at 92.5kg for sets across.

See what tomorrow brings.

Monday 2nd July 2012

Jess still away but the bed situation has not changed. I am still squished onto the side of the bed, sleeping half on the wooden frame as Dragon the loooooooooooong dog likes his space just as much as Mum.

Dragon and I got up early to clear the yard of birds (he hates them) Clipped a few bushes and prepped the yard for cleaning. Did my morning chores and headed to Sim's for a road trip to meet Brendan (BJ) at CrossFit Redlands with Ben.

Warmed up and got stuck into Angie. wasn't allowed to do butterfly pull ups though and set the push ups on 2 16kg bells and placed a centre bell to touch the chest to. Feet were raised

Time was 15.37 TOUGH after yesterday and just in general

Raced Brendan back to the coast and started session 2 for the day. Was good to have a fullish type of house at RAW. Brendan, Sim, Case, Karen, Jig, Clayto and myself. The only one missing was Jess :(

Today the others did log presses and sled drags. I had 800m row and 1600m run for time in one WOD

Decided to go hard out on the 800 and just see how I would far on the hilly run. Didn't fair to well I can tell you. My bloody 1600m run split was about 8mins but my 800m row was 2min30. I was happy with that. Average 1.34 per 500m.

total time 10.30

eat up and train tomorrow :)

Sunday 1st July 2012

Woke early and did a little yard work before getting the message from Matty F on where he was positioned for the Gold Coast Marathon. he was up to watch his girl KILL the marathon in 3hours 18 and it was hot as!!! So dragon and I went on a road trip which took up most of the morning.

New I had to do this bloody 20RM squat from 2 days ago which I have not done yet. I know Swifty was going to hit it up at his gym this afternoon and as you know Jess is away so I put the call out.shout out via facebook for some SQUAT buddies. I think Jo Maas was semi keen but you know the 2 hour drive from Toowomba would hardly be worth a set of 20. Or would it??

Jiggy and Rich Seymour answered the call and the squat-a-thon was a go ahead. Jiggy punched out his first back squats since surgey and got 20 @100kg, Rich had NO idea what a 20RM would be and wanted to go 100kg but Jiggy talked him into 90 (just so Jiggy would win I feel) My sets felt heavy in warm up and I got to 150kg. I did one rep and thought yep lets go.

Felt heavy at 5
Felt good at 10 and was yep I'm going to make this
15n was like shit....... well I can't give up now
18 reps and I was only 2 to get and not sure if I can even get them but I am not going to put down this bar
20... GOT IT

20RM back squat 150kg (down 10kg from last time but then again last time I had some training under the belt)

finished with 3 sets of AMRAP GHR

DONE

Saturday 31st June 2012

Yesterday at the end of the muscle up WOD we had organised to come up for a Saturday night WOD at CFB. Partner workout with thrusters, burpees and running............ bleeerrrrr yuck. It is the kinda workout you think you need to have a partner with to share the pain. As Jess is away in Sydney of course I was going to go. I was excited all day to hang out with the crew we had from Friday and hit this little thing together

On the way up I did the whole gay facebook post about tagging where you are going and who with. Well I shouldn't have even bothered coz the Matt Swift was the only guy who made it. From now he is called the Rock or Mr dependable. Always there and always going to bust a gut working

Him and I hit the WOD and had a feed after like a gay couple as both our partners were MIA. Not that there is anything wrong with being a gay couple, I'm just saying,

After the two guys smashed mobility and crap talk for 45min or so we hit this bad boy

24min AMRAP Partner wod

10 thrusters (42,5kg)
5 burpees
150m run
alternating work/rest

we got 10 rounds each and were FRIED. Was supposed to catch up on 20RM squat from yesterday but it got canned again till tomorrow.

Friday 30th June 2012

Traveled to CrossFit Brisbane to hit up a WOD with Matt Swift (Brissy), J Bone (Arena), Keegs (Brissy), Johnny Larmore (Brissy/Rocks) and Sim (from RAW)

Great little metcon that I though would get me smoked by everyone but a month on the cans from Johnny Larmore enabled me to pull through and not finish last :)

would have loved Jess to come and I am sure she would have beaten even Keegs............ hmm maybe not. The kid has a tank on him!

WOD was

12min AMRAP

3 Muscle up
9 box jump 24"
12 wall ball

pumped out 9 rounds and 5 reps (up to 2 box jumps)

Was too drained and Matts class started after so we saved our 20RM squat for another day

Thursday 7th June 2012

Had the worst night sleep ever. I think I've either slept on my arm or hurt something in my wrist even though there is no pain I have terrible numbness along the median nerve distribution. Never had it before, but the numbness just won't go. Really irritating. Feel sorry for all those who have carpal tunnel syndrome normally. Today is now a forced rest day do I missed out on my prowler efforts I wanted to do.

Here is a picture of my home made splint I made to try and straighten my arm. This was sometime between 1 and 330am

Thursday May 17, 2012 (REST/Endurance capacity)

So today was a rest day as it is day 4 in my little cycle. Have a break from proper training structure as time does not really permit at the moment with prep for the Norwest team and helping Jess out with her individual endeavors.

Felt good today and wasn't really in the mood for a complete rest so smashed out an active type rest day. I have 4 capacity type pieces that I have to hit each cycle and today it was ENDURANCE.

Session done in the am between 6am 7am classes and the 930am class.

5 by 600m sprints on the 3min. When I say sprint the goal wasn't sprint SPRINT. It was like a tempo type pace trying to hit each effort the same as the last and not moving +/- 3 seconds from the first effort

Efforts
1-2.18
2-2.21
3-2.21
4-2.21
5-2.18

Pretty solid, felt good, so had roughly 40sec between rounds.

Finished off with handstand walking practise back at the gym but was freaking freezing so didn't do much.

Now we just had our team check into the games at Wollongong and cooking up a feed with Jess and Rich!

Sunday May 6, 2012 (games WOD 3)

Sunday-The day of rest. After a few weeks of really trying to put training together I have finally succumbed to not being able to do what I want to do in the short term. My priorities have been for the last 6 weeks on helping my partner Jess do the best she can at the Regionals in a few weeks. We both travel to Sydney on Tuesday but stopping in Yamba tomorrow night to visit Dad.

Todays training was not what was programmed and I feel bad for not being able to dedicate the time needed to training right now. Jess and I went to Brisbane today and by the time we made it back I had time for a short workout. I did the regional work out 3 with the dumbells.

Warm up
  • Skin the cat x 10.
  • Bridge walk walks (as far as you can) x 10
Bridge with elevated feet on box (the higher the feet the easier it will be – scale as needed) 20 sec hold x 3 (focus on opening up shoulders as far as possible and locking out elbows)

Barbell warm up
Hang muscle snatch 5 x 5 @ 30kg
Hang muscle clean 5 x 5 @ 30kg
Push press 1/split jerk 1 3 x 3 @ 50kg

WOD
4 rounds for time
10DB snatch 45kg (5 each arm)
60m run

Back to diet logging tomorrow

Saturday May 5, 2012 (rest-kind of)

Today was a rest day and it started early with a 6am wedding for our lovely neighbours the Andrews'. It was a great morning and breakfast reception that was a paleo banquet. It was amazing. I had ever intention of doing some training or mobility early and then again in the evening but to tell you the truth I was in a food coma until 1230pm despite about 4 million coffees.

There is no point writing my food from this morning but it was about 4 sausages, 8-10 rashes of bacon, 2-3 eggs maybe 4-6 I guess and nearly 6 coffees.

Training


General monostructural warm up with 500m row, 3 sets of 20 double unders and freestanding handstand hold, roll out and general mobility 


specific mobility on ankles with flossing and mobs, hip extension at end range as distraction in flexion, thoracic extension, shoulder dislocators and internal rotation


Burgener warm up times 3 with dowel, times 2 with empty bar


Snatch 2 by 8 @ 42.5kg


Snatch balance 2 by 6 @ 42.5kg


Snatch pulls 3 by 3 @77kg


static stretch to finish

Take a look at last nights snatch and jerk work

Thursday May 3, 2012 (snatch tech, gymnastic/clean tech, OHS, mobility)

Went out for dinner last night with Jess and Bron from the Norwest team. Was great to catch up and run through some snatch and muscle up technique. Dinner was at grilled, thanx to Aaron Lay and we smashed some grass feed goat, chicken and beef. Was really nice. I even lashed out and had goats cheese and homus.


730am- Breakfast
Spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potato and some chicken bits and small bit of steak.

930AM: CP based, snatch tech + LB bending moderate/high TUT +  BWT density touches

A. Low hang (below knee) muscle snatch. Muscle snatch. Snatch balance @ 55kg, 1.1.1; rest 90sec x3
B. Tall hang squat snatch @ 40-47.5kg , 2 perfect reps every 60sec x6 (no ego)
C. Low bar good morning, 5,4,3 @ 4111; rest 3min
D1. 10-15* toes to bar ; rest 1min x5
D2. 10-15* ring dips rest 1min x5
** goal is more reps than last week

NOTES
A) felt good and really tried to not move my feet a whole lot. I did though which I was pissed about so the next exercise (B) I went even harder to try and not move feet. I was successful I think. See video. All sets @ 55kg

B) done @ 42.5kg not heavy but really tried to work on technique with feet close to each other in the squat. felt ok. 

C) Done at 73, 80, 84kg for really good hamstring stretch


D) Got 15 for all sets on all exercises. did muscle up to ring dips. On the last set of toes to bar I got to 10 then 5 singles as I lost the kip. was pissed at this. The last few ring dips were also dodge coz of strength. 
 




12pm Post wod
berries, whey protein and coconut cream milk shake

130pm lunch
silverbeet, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, chicken steak in coconut cream curry


5PM: Aerobic Z1 + clean tech + OHS tech + mobility piece

Row - 10min @ easy-moderate,
+
10min - dynamic mobility, thoracic, dorsiflexion, internal + external shoulder rotation + shoulder flexion
+
Pressing snatch balance @ 33X1 5reps, light; rest 2min x4-5
+
20kg x 65reps OHS @ 1010; set and rep as needed, perfect reps, in o-lift kicks
+
Row- 10min as (50sec easy + 10sec moderate effort surge)
+
10min PNF mobility as above
+
10mim static mobility as above

NOTES
Row was done mixing up my technique between elbows outside and elbows inside knees on the catch. I feel I get better hip flexion on the the elbows inside knees. Doesnt mean my knees are splade to the side it just means my knees are apart enough to fit my elbows inbetween


Pressing snatch balance was done at 20kg. 10 down from last week but MUCh better form. 


Broke the overhead squats into 25, 25, and 15 just to change camera angle for critic.
