Workout 12/21/2011: 603PTP Day17

"It's the END OF THE WORLD!!!" (one year from today). Hmmm...something makes me think we'll all be laughing at this theory on December 22nd, 2012. But it begs the question, what will happen to you if the world does come to a screeching halt? I know where I stand on the issue.

As for this workout today, I thought it would take me until the end of the world to finish it. And since I had to modify some things, if I had done the workout strictly, it probably would have taken me that long. Since I am still working on strength, I had to modify Knees-to-Elbows and Muscle-ups. Melissa from Whole9 might not approve, but I did what I had to do to finish all 7 rounds of the Cash-out.

Workout: 603PTP Day17

Buy-in: Dislocates and Rotational Dislocates (Skipped Skin-the-Cats 'cause I'm just not there yet and unsure how to modify that one).

Deadlift: 5 @ 200# + 5 @ 180#

Shoulder Press: 5 @ 105# + 5 @ 95#

Cash-out: 7 Rounds for Time of 21 Squats + 7 "Jumping" Knees-to-Elbows + 9 Modified Pull-ups + 9 Assisted Dips (*29:40)

This sort of a workout reminds me of all the amazing things that some can do and the amazing things I'll be able to do with continued practice and work.*Yep, not there yet. Photo courtesy of JAMESHANFIT

Workout 12/20/2011: 603PTP Day16

Quick and Dirty...that's how this workout went. I produced so much sweat on this workout that students at my school asked me, "Did you just finish swimming?" and "We have a pool here?" It was quite funny and made me feel like I put in work even though the entire workout from Buy-in to Cash-out took me about 30 minutes.
So here it is...

Buy-in: 30 Box Jumps + 30 Pistols (15L/15R) *Box Jumps were really Bench Jumps, and Pistols was a interesting move to work on. I look forward to working on them again.

603WOD: AMRAP in 10:00 of "Bear Complex" (follow the link for a tutorial) *29 Rounds in 10:00. I used 65#

Cash-out: Hip flexibility work

Yep, this 603PTP is still very fun for me. Let's keep it going!

Workout 12/19/2011: 603PTP Day15

These Christmas treats are really treating me to a wider waistline. So I'm doing one thing to benefit me, but I am doing another to my detriment. Perhaps one day I will get my act together and to it all right at the same time. I've been looking into the Whole9's Whole30 Challenge, but all I do when I look at it is create excuses. "It's hard to do with children in the house." "It's expensive to buy all that good stuff." "I wish I lived on the Yegerlehner farm in Indiana." One day I will stop these excuses and get it together. But for now, here's the workout...

Workout: 603PTP Day15

Buy-in: 3 easy rounds of "Cindy": 5 modified pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats

Deadlift: 5 x 200#, 5 x 180# (Yes, I finally figured out that I was messing myself up by doing 60% of 1RM, then 90% of 1RM. No wonder I was sore beyond belief)

Shoulder Press: 5 x 105#, 5 x 95# (Time to drop down reps; those last 5 were not completely pretty)

Cash-out: 3 Rounds of: Up-Down-Around School + 21 DB Swings @ 35# + 12 modified pull-ups (Time: 12:50 Sweat!)
