Thursday Workout: Shoulder Press & Backsquat

Strength

Press 5-5-5-5-5 (5 to 10 pounds heavier than last week, 80 seconds rest)

Squat 5-5-5-5-5 (same as Monday)

Extra Credit WOD

With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two pull-ups the second minute, three pull-ups the third minute… continuing as long as you are able. Scale to ring rows.

Extra credit wods are uncoached, so time them yourself. Not to be done in morning or after last class in the evening.

    tried some muscle-ups on the minute… got to round 4

  3. Squat: 219# – felt good, but can’t wait for my Blue Belt of Power to come in the mail!

    Press: 148 x4 – not fun after all of yesterday’s pushing!

    Pullups: 14+10 – this is 2 full rounds less than the last time I did this. I need to do more pullups!

    1. are you still doing non kipping pullups brah?

      1. The RX’d on this one was strict pullups, so that’s what I did! Butterflies would have changed the whole equation!

        And to answer the question, unless it is C2B or strength day, I do butterflies thanks very much!

        See you on Tuesday sucka!

    1. ec was kipping because i didn’t see a need to make that any harder

    ec wod: kipping, 10 rounds i think, i don’t know, i got bored and stopped.

    SP: 67#

  14. Squat: 231
    Press: 94 cause I’m an idiot and can’t do math (although it explains why it felt so easy)

    SP: 35/40#

  16. @JMU with KIN 421 Student (a class to learn how to be a personal trainer; I am the volunteer trainee)

    Initial testing:
    Bench Press 5 rep max 5×4 @ 100#, 120#, 140#, 155# (last year’s one rep max was 140#)
    Leg Press 5 rep max 5×5 @ 240#, 280#, 320#, 360#, 400# (last year’s one rep max was 400#)
    25 sort of sit up (upper cap of this test is 25)
    35 push ups (to arms parallel to ground – yesterday’s workout didn’t help here, still a bit sore)
    Skin fold measurement/body composition
    YMCA bike test (to estimate VO2 max)
    Sit and reach (flexibility measurement)
    Pulse and blood pressure several times

    And, I am convincing my student trainer to come to a free session at CrossFit (“what is that” he said originally – now he is psyched and wants to try it)

    1. hopefully he’ll stop making you do leg presses 🙂

      1. Only done for initial and final testing (I will steer him towards back squats).

  17. BS: 95#
    Press: 2@45 followed by 3 at 39 (my arms just failed after yesterday’s workout)…

  23. Made up on Saturday:
