185 3x5
Nothing particularly impressive but I pressed at my reg gym on Monday and got 245 as my SRM. I was off 20 lbs from the previous week due to the smoking I am getting from the Crossfit. People stomping me on the Thrusters but I held my own on the Press, I didn't see anyone else getting more. I have finished my 30lb cut as of this morning. I was at 275 as my SRM at the end of June, the cut and the Crossfit has brought me down but I am sure I will come back fast as I adjust. |

I thought Bench Press was forbidden by CFHQ...just behind Curls in the "Unfunctional, Stupid Meathead" exercise list.

There is a Crossfit II Total we did a couple months back that added up your 1RM at bench press, OH squat and clean. It was a pretty tough morning. |

I wish they would Pyramid to your SRM instead of doing 3x5.
IMO, you get stronger doing Pyramids. |

And a lot of complexes, like bear complex, snatch/hang snatch complexes, clean, clean jerk complexes, clean/front squat/jerk complexes, etc. With the emphasis being barbell conditioning and volume more than raw strength for a 1RM. |

I'm following.
Today was my first day back in the gym in almost 2 months. Work and new kid has me worn out. Did a fram-ish type workout.
BP - 135x25, 135x12x3 Thrusters - 45x12x4 (I'm working on form before I blow up on the weight. WGPU-10,6,6,5 I pushed it but I worked more on form than anything. I lost alot in the past two months. 
Any critiques? |

Be careful doing wide grip pull-ups, it is a good way to toast your rotator cuff.
BTW, I am soreness-free today, I may go for a run tomorrow time permitting. |

I remember once a coach saying if anyone missed an assignment we would "run until he pukes". He lied, but he wasn't far off. Exactly. Even in D1 football, I don't recall anyone "wanting" to run. Sprints, yes. Laps around the field or ladders? No effin way. Playing football itself was more than enough cardio to ensure you got no gains. Running long distances was just to fuck with you. I was specifically made to run until I puked for being late one time to 5:30 a.m. workouts. I was watched to ensure I didn't stick my finger down my throat. |

You are right about the gains thing. I am not making as much gains as I was hoping. Mostly what I have is getting more toned.
I may shift the balance of weightlifting to WODs a bit more towards the freeweights. I just recently finished cutting 30lbs and don't want to cut much further. |

At least I didn't embarrass myself by starting and not able to do a single one. I hope to get to where I can do 20 without having to stop. I think I got 13 last night before I had to release and start doing threes and twos to finish. That was after being smoked. Fresh, I am sure I could have gotten a few more. |

I just did 30 this morning, and I'm going to start doing 30 every morning as part of my warmup. I've found that they smoke my abs when you really are doing them strict. I can only do 11 UB right now. All these CF workouts are designed for kipping, or really butterflying. So if you are going to really do CF, you probably want to start learning how to do this. Because you will struggle doing strict. For reference, after I completely smoke myself doing 50 or so strict pullups, to the point where I can't do anymore, I can hop onto a bar and knock out 10 UB butterfly PUs. Two different things totally as far as energy use, and muscle development, goes. |

Tonight's WOD=White Boy got no rhythm, can't jump rope.
Double Under? Let's get Single Unders first! Instructor under-loaded me on the Bench Press tonight, I am going to have to go and press at my regular Gym tomorrow or I will lose next week. He set my baseline too low two weeks ago when I had pressed at the gym two nights prior and was still down. I need to be at least at 195 for 3x5 and more likely at 205. I have been benchin for a while and my current SRM is 245. I was at 275 before I cut. My recent cut cost me a pound of lift for each pound I lost. Now I am trying to build back. |

I ripped my shin open doing box jumps this week. That was awesome. This was to be my last month doing Crossfit as well. I'm going to oly and power lifting only. I've come to the realization that I have a few mobility issues that need to be worked out and I have a muscle imbalance that needs to be fixed. Crossfit just won't do that for me. Luckily I found a gym close by that has bars, bumpers, and space for a quarter the cost.
