So, yesterday's workout seemed pretty simple, so I'll post it even though it's been a while wince I've posted. Rest assured that I have been working out, mostly under the guidance of my track and field coach. My shotput is getting better, by degrees ( Read more... )

I joined my school’s Track and Field team! I’m going to train for the shotput, and possibly sprinting in the spring.
The coach’s idea of a workout and my idea of a workout don’t actually line up all that well, so I’m going to talk to him about it today. It’s mostly a difference of opinion on the use of machines, and I think he’ll be receptive ( Read more... )

For the record, I am extremely frustrated with this stupid thigh/leg thing. It means that I can't do any movement while exercising that involves going into a "squat" position. FUCK!

Back squat 3-3-3-3-3

Had a good day today! My sets were almost unbroken, and I still managed to get my heartrate up. Boo-ya ( Read more... )

Today, after an unfortunate three-day rest, I attempted to do 25 burpees for time.

I managed to do three of them before my lower back said, “DON’T DO IT, IT’S A TRAP!” Spasming wildly, I collapsed to the floor.
I’ve experienced this pain while experimenting on the exercise ball; Kipping from plank to downward dog on the ball produced the same ( Read more... )

So… this is the first Crossfit WOD that honest to God made me cry while doing it. Tears and sweat mix well together, imho.

Read up on the deadlift from articles on the main Crossfit site, so started with a low weight to work on form. HSPU were progressions, body basically horizontal to the floor with my arms extended. Only got 4 rounds in ( Read more... )
