So the whole bar weight at the gym is totally fucking with my numbers and it's a pain in the ass.
Past fight gone bad numbers have been:
October 31st: 261 with 65#SDHP and PP (but really only 56#), and 10# wall ball
September 9th: 220 with 75# SDHP and PP (but really only 66# and 20# wall ball
So this time......1/20/09
257 with a true 65# SDHP and PP but using a 10# wall ball
Round One: PP 22 Row 12 WB 25 SDHP 18 BJ 20 - 97 total
Round Two: PP 17 Row 10 WB 24 SDHP 10 BJ 21 - 82 total
Round Three: PP 15 Row 10 WB 21 SDHP 11 BJ 21- 78 total
So looking at the numbers compared to the September 9th they went up by 20 points. It would have been interesting to do this with the 20# wall ball and see what my number would have been then. I think it still would have been higher then 220. When I did similar weight and used the 20# WB my total for WB was 50, this time similar weight 10# WB total was 70. So there is 20 points of the difference between the two. I increased my box jump numbers this time. I only broke 20 one round last time and I had 20 each round this time. Okay so if you are still reading this you can see that there is a bit of an obsession but it is important for me to see progress. Even if it is just small things here and there it is important for me to see progress.
Here is a re-cap of the other workouts that I have done since last post.
1/13/09 - Rest day
1/14/09 - AMRAP in 20 min of
10 ring dips, 15 pull-ups, 20 sit-ups
I was able to get in a total of 9 rounds but the last two I did jumping pull ups because I got a blood blister and I didn't want to tear it. So 7 strict rounds was good for me. I don't like ring-dips!
1/15/09 - 1/18/09 Kofa NWR Camping Trip see upcoming post. Awesome!
1/19/09: 5 rounds
5 reps of: 1 hang power snatch, 3 overhead squats (65#)
15 burpees
Time: 16:40
Felt great! The time off was good and I think my body needed it. So I hit it pretty hard for this workout. Plus I love going overhead and 65# is not a very heavy overhead squat. By the end of the rounds I was having a harder time with the one hang power snatch. It was becoming a half power snatch with a little push press in there. Need to work on getting fully under the bar.

Start of November
So it looks like I am resorting to a once a week posting…oh well
Workout data
Thursday WOD: AMRAP of 20 Double Unders, 10 HSPU, 5 squat cleans – 7 rounds
Double unders have gotten a lot easier for me and that really helped with this workout. I was able to get through those pretty quickly. I decided to do HSPU from a box instead of negatives, and went with 99# for squat cleans. Squat cleans are a comfortable movement for me and I like them so I tend to go heavier when I can. Plus all of the smaller weights were being used by the other ladies so it was just easier to use the 10K’s and 5lbs.
Friday WOD Fight Gone Bad – Heavy
So the usual weight for women on FGB is 55# and this time it was calling for 65# SDHP and PP. I have done FGB with the men’s weight and my score was 220 so I was shooting for 300. That didn’t happen. I wasn’t able to start with wall ball and I hate to admit it but that right there was a mental block for me.
Here are my numbers
Round One: SDHP 28, BJ 21, PP 20, Row 15, WB 19 = 103
Round Two: SDHP 20, BJ 20, PP 13, Row 15, WB 15 = 83
Round Three: SDHP 17, BJ 19, PP 11, Row 13, WB 15 = 75
Total 261
So my number was 40 points higher then when I did it with 75# but I would have liked to seen a higher number. It is the PP that really kicks my butt. Need to work on those. My row numbers were higher when I did it with 75#. Interesting.
Saturday I had to work and then Sunday I had a football game and then Max and I went on a hike at Cottonwood Creek. Here are two pics from the trip.
Monday WOD: Squat Snatch 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1
Still stuck at 90# BUT the depth that I got when I did 85# and 90# was really good and got me pretty happy. I got all the way down into the full squat and had to stand to up. That was cool.
Tuesday WOD: 5 400m sprints
YUCK times ranged between 1:27 - 1:35. Good cardio work.
Wednesday WOD
SP 1 – 1 – 1 – 1
PP 3 – 3 – 3 – 3
PJ 5 – 5 – 5 – 5
This was one of the workouts that I did when I started the blog. The bad thing is that I have been going to the morning class and that means I don’t know what my PR’s are or what my time was because I don’t have the time (or make the time) to check out my notes before I head to class. This is something that I am going to have to change because for me there is a lot of mental motivation that goes through on in my head when I know what my last times, PR’s were and that I want to break them.
So not knowing what I did last time I am not really happy with these numbers:
SP: 65, 75, 85, 90 (f),
PP: 95, 100, 105, 110,
PJ: 110 (3), 95, 100, 105
Compared to my last numbers.
Shoulder press: 85# is PR
Push press number went up from 95 to 110 (awesome)
Push Jerk still at 110
So some progress and some things to still work on. That’s the thing about Crossfit. Always something to work on.
As for diet…well it has been pretty bad. I have had a hunkering for white chocolate macadamia nut cookies lately. This has resulted in me fluctuating in weight. Right now I am near 150. I know that if I went back to Zone hardcore I would drop a quick 5 pounds. Knowing that I think I don’t worry about it too much. But in terms of workout times and how I progress the extra weight does not help. Ideally I think I would like to be around 140 but that would mean that I would have to be a real hardass about diet. One of my goals is to be able to do a body weight overhead squat.

Fight Gone Bad. Need I say more
This one is killer. No matter how many times you do it or how many ways you try to rationalize it in your head it sucks. I mean really sucks. Last time I did this I went with men's weight so I decided to do it again prescribed men. There was a fleeting second or two right before we started that I thought I should go with female weight but nah! Here are how my numbers looked:
Round One: WB 25 SDHP 17 BJ 19 PP 12 Row 18 - 91 total
Round Two: WB 15 SDHP 12 BJ 20 PP 8 Row 17 - 72 total
Round Three: WB 10 SDHP 10 BJ 15 PP 8 Row 14 - 57 total
Total: 220
So this is a 4 point increase since the last time I did this back towards the end of July. So that is good. Plus this is the first time that I have done it jumping onto the box. So I am really happy with my number. I need to use the heavier wall ball more often cause that is what sucked the most. If I could get that number up as well as my Push Press. Oh the things to work on.
Dinner was a salad with tomatoes, pepperjack cheese and this tofu taco meat that Sean made up. It was tasty. To get a balanced carb block I had a slice of the homemade bread with a little honey on it. Probably more carbs then needed but it is high in fiber and really tasty! I mean you can't pass on homemade bread.
