Two Hard Days.

I started at the local crossfit gym this week and after two days all I can say is "ouch!"

It has been a blast and I can't wait to do more next week but it was not easy. My legs and shoulders a wreck. I did Nancy on Wednesday:
400m run
15x 95# overhead squats
5 rounds

It was hard and the first round of squats felt impossible. I had to drop the weight in the third round by 10#'s and that helped alot. Final time 31min.

Yesterday I did THE shoulder day.

1 shoulder press
2 push press
3 push jerks

You have to complete all 6 without a rack or drop until failure then:

2 push press
3 push jerks

same as above then:

3 push jerks

after failure on the jerks run 400m .
3 rounds

I did the first round racking the bar after each set. I did about 6 rounds of all three, about 15 rounds of the press/jerks and about 4 rounds of just jerk

the second round setting the bar down or racking was a failure. I could not do a press and only did about 3 rounds of the press/jerks and about 3 rounds of just jerks.

It was about the same for the third round. Needless to say I did a shit load of pressing and I had a tough time holding my arms up to drive home after.

I will take Friday and Saturday off then do something on Sunday, not sure what yet. I do know that its Halloween bitches and it time to relax.
