erm... not sure if this is how to make a post, but here goes.
Skill
3x ring dips with yellow band and 1 knee. 5 sets.
WOD (not Rx)
5 rounds
25 double unders (i suck at these)
7 HSPU (no coordination today, had to use 2 abmats)
9 front squat (35kg).
felt pretty crap today. didn't do as i thought i would, so got very disheartened after and had a big sook. bad cold which i thought went away last week but its come back full force. No barbell for me tonight, will need to make up the session this week!

Took yesterday off completely and skipped WOD this morning to recover properly. Lifting felt AWESOME tonight!!
Back Squat 6x2 55-60-60-60-60-60kg
Clean 5x5 42.5kg
Hang snatch Pull 5x5 55kg
Jerk 5x3 45kg.
I've come to the realisation that as much as I want to WOD 5-6 days a week, my body simply can't handle it. I get more and more injured and my lifting suffers. Even if I WOD in the morning on Tue and Thu, I never lift as well in the evening.
I'm having a hard time finding the balance between pushing to the next level become to a better crossfitter and listening to my body. My mind wants to go harder, my body hurts like hell, and my confidence suffers. I try to keep up but can't seem to.
Gonna try and pull back to my 3-4 WODs a week and no wodding on barbell days. Maybe i'll get better that way.

Sat 10/8/13 - fight gone bad. 256 reps. Felt really good. i thought i did better than before, but from beyond the whiteboard turns out i was short 10 reps. felt much better aftewards though. Thats gotta count for something. Monday 12/8/13 Strict chin ups 2 reps, 5 sets - these need work. second rep was always hard to get. WOD 3 RFT 40 Double unders 30 wall balls 20 chest to bar 10 burpees. DUs suck. need work. wall balls killed my arms. thought i could do chest to bars but was too fatigued  getting back on track with my food. 3 weeks till manila. need to lose some weight. or i'll never hear the end of it. |

Been cracking down on thesis writing, not getting much time to do anything else.
Thurs barbell done on Fri 23.8.13
Clean 4x4 75% 45kg
Back squat 6x2 80% 57.5kg
Hang snatch pull 5x3 50-55-55-55-55
Jerk 5x3 45kg
Saturday 24.8.13 partner WOD (ouch)
6 RFT
20 wall balls
20 pullups
20 box jumps
20 db snatches
200m med ball run.
Partnered with suz at IWCF. super gassed on running. pullups are better. working on re-gripping mid kip and trying not to drop off bar too often. Tried to use thick bar which only lasted one round.
Saturday barbell wod with diana.
6x6 back squat 80% (done at 55kg instead of 57.5)
4x3 snatch 75% 35-37.5-37.5-37.5-37.5
first round of squats were horrid. sets got waaaaay better towards the end. faster and more solid reps.
Snatches felt good, despite being fatigued. i think last tuesday i finally got my first rep RIGHT. on heels, staying over bar, full extension and shurgging before dropping down. now 1000 more times to go. Today was a good follow up. hitting pos. 1 consistently and keeping bar close. now have to work on bracing at the bottom as my core is not the best and still wobbly. over all, painful but fun day. followed up with coffee and chicken pesto pasta. yummers.

Feeling very annoyed as on Saturday night I somehow hurt my left knee (the good one) going down the stairs at the cinema. Heard something click, didnt think any thing of it, then the following day, hurts when bending. Feels like another tracking issue but who knows. Will need to back off squatting again. Very annoyed.
