I'm searching for my first hole-in-one. I enjoy being active and making things. I work for Automattic.

At CrossFit Full Strength.

Warm-up

  • 6 Hand walks
  • 6 World’s greatest stretch (3 each side)
  • 2x 20 Leg raise, push down with partner

Strength
6 sets

  • Push press
  • Push jerk
  • 3 minute rest

WOD
3 rounds

  • 6 HDPU
  • 9 Ground to OH
  • 12 Burpees

During the strength portion I used 95#, 115#, 115#, 115#, 120#, and 125#. I failed after 3 push press and 1 push jerk in the last set. In the WOD I used the PVC parallettes to get more range of motion with the pike position (stinkbug) HSPU variation. I used 85# on the barbell for the ground to OH, doing clean and jerk, and finished in a time of 9:59.

My shoulders are wrecked! Heading to Sayulita, Mexico on Saturday for a week so it’ll be a break from the gym. I’ll do some morning workouts on the beach while out there.

Warm-up
2 rounds

  • 10 single leg extensions (each leg)
  • 10 GHD sit-ups
  • 10 Hip extensions
  • 10s Samson stretch (each side)

Strength
Deadlift: 5 sets to get to a 3RM
Reset at the bottom between reps. No touch and go.

WOD
3 rounds

  • 400m run
  • 30 KBS (53# KB)
  • 15 Push-ups

First time going for a heavy deadlift, so I really had no idea where to start or where I would end up. Did sets of of 115#, 135# 165#, 195#, and 215#. Could have gone a bit heavier, but it’s a good place to start. In the WOD I finished in 13:33. Doing American KBS are just a bit more taxing on the system compared to Russian. They wiped me out!
