In-N-Out and Zone

Friday's WOD

"Danny"

AMRAP in 20 min of:
30 box jumps (14" I think, 12"+45# plate)
20 push press (43#)
30 pull ups (green band)

2 rounds + 30 box jumps + 15 push press

I've been wanting to figure out how many blocks an In-N-Out burger is for a while so my dad and I went tonight and I did a little experiment.  I ordered a double-double with out cheese. Both meet patties were around 2.5 ounces so I added .5 ounce at home.  For the carbs, I took a little trick from Jason Khalipa and took part of the bun out from the inside (I know it sounds a little crazy) so I guessed that to be around 2.5 blocks of carbs, but I'm not really sure.  Then there was some tomato, onions and lettuce.  For the fat I got the spread on the side and put a little of that on.  It wasn't all measured perfectly but It was pretty close.

Last time I did Fran was the last day of elements on January 22 (exactly 3 months ago).  I did 33# thrusters to a 20" box and jumping pull ups and got 8:16.  I didn't PR by much but I had more weight and used the g-band so I'm pretty happy with my time.

Crossfit Flood

On Tuesday I was down in San Diego so I decided to check out Crossfit Flood.  When I lived in SD I used to go to church at flood, so it was cool to find out that they have an affiliate in the back of the church offices. 

Tuesday's WOD

2 rounds of:
500m row 
50 pull ups (red band, I think it was a little thicker than the green band)
50 squats
50 push ups (knee)
(break up pull/push ups and squats as needed)

22:03

Going into the second round all the rowers were taken so while waiting I did 23 SDHP's (1 SDHP= 10m row), then finished on the rower when one opened.  It was fun going to another CF. If you're ever down in San Diego check them out!

Wednesday's WOD

JT

ring dips (jumping)
push ups (knee)

HUGE PR!

Wednesday's WOD

5K Run

32:18

I'm super stoked about this time!!  Last time I did the 5k was Feb 22 and I got 38:07.  I beat my time by 5:49!  I was really trying to concentrate on the POSE running and maintaining the same speed the whole time (my first mile was around 10 min and the next 2 were around 11).  The POSE has really helped me; I was not as out of breath and my muscles didn't get fatigued at all, the balls of my feet are a little sore but I guess that means I'm doing it right.

PR!

Monday's WOD

Push Jerk: 3-3-3-3-3
43-48-53-63-73

Then 5 rounds of
10 pull ups (green band)
10 wall balls (10#)

5:47

The last 2 of the push jerk were a little shaky but I got it up there.  On Feb 27, the WOD was 10 rounds of 10 pull ups 10 wall balls.  I modified mine to 5 rounds with jumping pull ups and 10# wall balls and my time was 5:50.  Today I used the green band and beat my time by 3 seconds (not a lot but its way harder w/ the g-band and I felt a lot better afterwards then I did the first time).  I love seeing progress like this, the numbers don't lie!

Upgrade

Friday's WOD

3 rounds
1o burpees
20 pull ups (green band!)
30 kettlebell swings (26#)

19:12

So I finally did a WOD with the green band, yay!!  It wasn't easy but I feel like I got a way better workout then doing the jumping pull ups.  My times are going to be slower (at first anyways) with the g-band but its going to make me way more stronger...my pull up goal is to get a real one by my birthday (August 17).
