Crossfit: 01/22/13

I feel bad for those who still have this linked to some sort of alert system. I need to start keeping track of my work again. I finally have a 9-5 and I am thinking of joining a gym. I haven't had a 9-5 nor a gym membership since summer 2009, which is completely bonkers. My fitness goal right now is to get my lower back under control. I've blown it out three times in two years and need to figure out what's wrong with it (Dr. appt on Feb 5ht) and get it fixed (PT ASAP). In the meantime I am doing things I probably shouldn't be doing, including this crossfit workout today. I am gonna to compete in the crossfit games this year as long as my back holds out and I want to start tracking my progress. A: 2 mins of double unders (lost count, maybe 60-70?) + 6 min tabata; alternate 45lb DB renegade rows and 20 lb med ball slams B: hanging clean singles: maxed out at 180. When I could get my form right I felt real strong. C: AMRAP 2 min on 1 min off hanging cleans @ 75% of 1RM. Blarg. I think most people wisely went more like 65% or lower. I got 10ish every time, including some bloody hands and beat up collar bones. D: 10 mins of do something you aren't good at. I suck at muscle ups. I've done two? Maybe one in my life. I figured it's more of a technique issue than a strength issue. I tried twice and failed, but then got a good tip and got up three times our of four. I was happy. Ill forgo a post from last week and report having snatched 155. Maybe I can keep up with this. Probably not.
