Weekend WODs

Saturday

WOD:

"Elizabeth"

21-15-9

95# Cleans (135# would have been what was Rx'd)

Ring Dips (first 5 ring, then went to regular... I'll get there soon :D)

This work out was a bit harder than I thought it would be, I feel like I used up a lot of energy putting the bar back down, since I am still a bit of a noob at cleans. The first 21cleans were pretty slow going, just because I was worried about my form, but the 15 and 9 was slow too because I got pretty exhausted fast. Dips were dips, I started out on the rings until the lack of stability was too much for me. Also, I did like 10 ring dips before the WOD, which might be my PR--so I was pretty tired. I felt good to get through that WOD, maybe by the next WOD with Olympic lifts comes around I'll be able to run on through.

Time: 9:30

Sunday

WOD

First 3X5 Bench Press (warm up 135#)

165, 165, 165 (assisted- could not move that bar :$)

then

3RFT:

4 Hand Stand Push Ups

8 Box Jumps (shorter box, not sure of the height)

12 Push Press (95#)

16 Tuck Jumps

I felt good about this one. It was a really good workout and I felt like I pushed myself through the finish. I had to take a few rests with the Push Presses. Also, tuck jumps were substituted for double unders which I cannot do efficiently yet; I am getting there.

Time: 5:45

I took Monday off to go watch a Cubs game at Wrigley field, but I am going to be back in the gym today. I also found out that I will not be able to do the Men's Health Urbanathlon this year due to my Cell Biology Block test being the Monday after. It sucks because I already paid for it and the $100 is non-refundable. First conflict between school and training, but I'll have to find ways to keep up with both of them.

Another note, I received some supplements in the mail from amazon. In addition to the whey protein I'm taking I started taking fish oil, multivitamin, and BCAAs. I am still waiting for Creatine to come sometime this week. I will most likely add a calcium supplement too since, the multivitamin doesn't have enough. I want to eventually add in Beta-Alanine, but I will see how the other stuff works on me for a week or so.
