Starting CrossFit Over Again

Woke up earlier than usual today so I could hit up the 9am class at Survival Fitness. First class in 2 months and my conditioning is in rough shape!

Warm-up

4 Rounds

  • 20s Burpees
  • 10s Rest
  • 20s Air Squats
  • 10s Rest
  • 20s PVC pass-thrus
  • 10s Rest

Just slow burpees to get warmed up. I think I 4 each round.

Strength

Front squats for 4×5 in the 70-80% range.

  • 5×45#
  • 5×95#
  • 3×135#
  • 3×185#
  • 5×215#
  • 5×225#
  • 5×235#
  • 5×250#

Felt good!

Accessory

10:00 EMOM

  • 20s L-sit (rings)

I was shaking already in round 1. Didn’t quite make it all 20 seconds the last few rounds.

Conditioning

  • 15-12-9 Thrusters (95#)
  • 21-15-9 Sumo Deadlift High Pull (95#)

My lungs! I’m definitely out of shape when it comes to moving weight. The Rx was 135# but I don’t even know if I can do one SDHP with that weight and it would have taken so much longer than the 6:00 goal. I finished in 6:36.

Gymnastics

Worked on handstand holds against the wall a bit. Tried to pull my feel off the wall for a few seconds at a time.

I’m going to start working at the standing desk in my office again today, slowly building up more time each day.

Went out to the garage around 4pm.

Conditioning

On the Air Dyne (AD2):

  • 5:00 at 55%
  • 5 Rounds
    • 0:30 at 100%
    • 2:00 at < 50%
  • 2:30 at < 50%

Yuck!
