WOD
18

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

A.
evening prime time class

With a 10:00 time limit, row 2000m and complete AMRAP double unders. (this workout is from the Big Dawgs Championship Series… yes it’s super tight on the time limit for some of you - just do your absolute best… and yes, you should probably push for a PR 2k row)…

B.

Half tabata mountain climbers
Tabata Single leg glute bridge (alternate legs each round)*
Half tabata grasshoppers
Tabata N-ups

* Glute bridges will be at a slower tempo to be done correctly. Aim for 3-4 controlled reps per round. Learn to activate your glute vs. arch your back.

  • I’m feeling a lot better today, so I might give the challenge a shot. Since I’m coaching in the morning, I’m probably going to do it in the afternoon. Brad, I know you’re coaching Football in the morning so we can meet up there later on…

  • Sa-weet been waiting for the 2k row to come up again! All that other stuff sounds horrible though…

  • Nice Work B!!!!

    Inspiring as usual. :)

  • I did the WOD, I’m not a Big Dawg yet.

    Rowing felt good: Finished 2000m in 7:07 but then the DU started…. I’m bad at these on fresh legs, so I only managed to squeeze out 7.
    The tabata was also very challenging, especially the N-ups during the last round. I haven’t done much isolated ab stuff since my hernia surgery in the fall and I could/can really feel the consequences.

    Awesome to see all the Big Dawgs working so hard!!!
    I Can’t think of a better place to be, or a better group of people hang out with on a Saturday morning!

  • Rowing – gee my favorite ;)

    Wish I could say that the rowing felt good but that would be a lie! Finished in 9:10.3 – my goal was sub 10 so I did it and was actually 1 second faster than my last time. Couldn’t get my legs going so only managed 2 double unders afterwards.

    Tabata was difficult especially the N-ups. Abs were a bit sore from GHD sit ups yesterday.

    Way to go Big Dawgs!

  • @Scott A
    could not agree with you more – great place to be!

    brought in a friend and did the drop in WOD – thinking i could use an active rest day – YEA RIGHT! That was crazy and it was dropped down to 4 rounds to boot. Great class Turbo!

  • Did the Big Dawgs Challenge. Really great day!

    WOD 1: 15 OHS @ 130 lbs
    WOD 2: 2k row (7:32.4) plus 74 DU’s in 10 min
    WOD 3: 50 Chest to Bar PU’s + 50 Burpees in 6:39

    I feel pretty good about these scores. A little disappointed in the # of DU’s but overall I had a blast. It was great hanging out with many of you. I did the last WOD at the U of M with several football players talking about Saturday night being chest and arms day. WOW, it’s been a while since I heard that kind of talk and the people being serious about it.
    Looking forward to my yam fries and chili for supper.

  • Great day, let me say that. My nutrition is still on, and I’ve got to contribute much of my gains to that.
    WOD 1: 15 OHS @ 75# (20 # over my last 10 rep max)
    WOD 2: 2k row (8:50.1) rowing is a weakness for me, + 55 DUs
    WOD 3: 50 Chest to Bar PUs + 50 burpees in 8:47
    I am very pleased with my performance, and hope I can still move my shoulders tomorow. I loved the atmosphere in the box, today, it really was awesome, so much energy, determination, confidence and yelling, it was great, I can imagine regionals to be that times a million. I was very proud to call myself a crossfitter today.

  • yoyoyo.

    WOD 1: got 125#….had 135# almost in the bag, but messed up at 13 reps. Balls.
    WOD 2: 7:32.5 for the row/133 DUs.
    WOD 3: 5:53…..coulda been better.

    Good times and good people.

  • ….also, got free-standing HSPUs today. Randomly.

  • Well….To say it was inspiring today would be a bit of an understatement….I was chomping at the bit to do something….. so…

    I did WOD 1 and WOD 2 in just about an hour….. times were not spectacular to say the least but….

    WOD #1 135 x 15….. felt deep but not sure as there were no cross fitters around to let me know……. failed miserably at 145….

    WOD #2 7:25 Row…….62 D.U. in 10 minutes……

    5 minutes then….. punished myself with 100 D.U because I was disappointed with my row and D.U numbers… :(

    Could not remember what part “B” was so I did 50 burpees…..

    Then….

    I barfed…

  • 15 OHS @ 95#
    2000m row in 7.45.8/31 DUs
    50 C2B and 50 Burpees in 8.31

    fun!!

  • 15 OHS @ 120#. Wrist gave out at rep 6 of 130#. Sucks
    2000m row in 7.08.9/40 DUs
    50 C2B and 50 Burpees in 8.21.
    This last one killed me….even with the GnR blasting.

    Great day overall. Much love to all Big Dawgs! You are dynamite!

  • 15 OHS @ 145
    2000m row in 6:58.9 + 68 double unders (that was weak, but I was really toast at the end of that row)
    pullup/burpee in 5:31

    Love this community. CFWinnipeg will be represented very well in Edmonton!

    @Eric
    LOL…. nice work buddy! Do they have a bucket at the police gym or was this in your garage?

  • Oh yeah, I posted my videos here:

  • @Eric
    By the way… thanks for stopping by to encourage us today! I really appreciated that.

  • @brendan
    Well….The bucket is not labled as such…. ;) …..I am a mess….

    That 2000m row was WAY tougher than I expected….especially by myself. That middle 900m is where I fell down. Oh well I have a number to put in my book and shoot for.

    …and B. my pleasure, I feel like I am part of a team again and I love it…

  • this was one of my favourite days at the gym ever!

    I failed miserably in my competition attempt, but seeing everyone get together to compete and support each other was awesome. The atmosphere in the gym was amazing, we even had a big contingent for the free beginners class at 11:30. Loved it!

    Big Dawgs:
    WOD 1: I was going for the gold standard of 65% bodyweight. This is about 72# for me, which I was 100% sure I could do. I’ve done 65# for 21 reps and I’ve done 75# at tempo for 10 easy reps, so there was no doubt in my mind I could do it. However, I lost it on the 12th or 13th rep on each attempt. The worst part is that I don’t know if I would have done it any differently in competition. I guess we should start at a weight “we know we can do” but that’s exactly what I did… after that gaffe, I opted to do WOD 3 out of order so I could do it with a group.
    WOD 3: 7:43 Rx’d happy with this, even though I had to redo at least 5 pullups and I miscounted my burpees and I’m pretty sure I did 7 extra.
    WOD 2: 9:05 row (this is at least 15 seconds slower than my best) and 33 double unders…

    My CrossFit experience was so awesome!! I don't think I've ever been around that much genuinely positive energy in my life! Everyone was so gracious and helpful, and at the end of On-Ramp I really felt I could do anything!! Your entire team, male and female, have such enviable physiques and I know I can get there, too, so thank you for what you guys do and for what you"
