Yesterday I was in Flagstaff and I got into Crossfit Flagstaff for their 9 am class. Wow what cool people! I had a great workout and their gym is hella nice. They even posted a couple pics of me on their website!! Check it out at www.crossfitflagstaff.com. I am now in Denver taking a break. I will leave again tomorrow and I will try to make it to Arkansas. We shall see...

Clean, hang clean instruction
Front Squat: 7 sets of 3 up to 120 Kilos

10 December 2008

Today was the first day I had done the barbell complex. I liked it. Of course my forearms and wrists were on fire, but it ended up being a great workout. And yes that is blood on my shirt. I popped myself on the chin with the bar on round 3. Good times.


5 rounds of 7 reps of:

barbell complex- deadlift into hang clean into front squat into jerk into back squat into jerk back to the ground on a touch and go. During the reps you are not allowed to put the bar down. If you do, the round is DQ'd.

Ya I had to practice it a few times before I got the motion.

rounds 1-4 95#, round 5 125#, and round SIX 15#. BONUS!!

Chipotle Burrito

So today I learned that a Chipotle burrito, N.O. Explode, and Crossfit don't mix. I was suckin' on the workout Crossfit Lacey Athletic Club had scheduled. But still got it done!!

Infamous quote from Isaiah M. from the first time we did Crossfit after my return to the states. We did "Tabata something else" and this was his reaction:

"Jimmy, you made my soul cry!"

Todays workout done as RX'd:
3 rounds
800 m run
30 pull ups

16:08

Been a minute...

So coming home has kept me much busier than I thought. But I'm back and will be making more regular posts. I have been working out even though I haven't made posts. I have worked out at Crossfit Seattle, Crossfit Lacey Athletic Club, and at the newly improved McVeigh Fitness Center at Ft. Lewis. Today I was at Crossfit Seattle. Coach Scott got me good after two rest days. Hahaha
