Bench, Gymnastic WOD and Football WOD

Okay, I am ready to get back on the wagon with posting my workouts.  I have kept some consistency with workouts, about 3 or 4 a week but have not found the time to post, however I think I can handle posting again. 

My last WOD was Saturday.  I walked two miles with a 50lb feed sack in 34:12.  I did three sets of 40 yard  farmer's walks and max dead hang pull-ups the day before.  Yesterday I was sick as a dog with a fever and did not do anything.  Feeling much better today, especially this afternoon and did the following.

Bench press 225x8, 225x3, 225x3

A) Gymnastic Strength
6 series:

• (0:20's Handstand hold + 7 Clapping Push-ups)

5 Series

• 2 Ring Pullups + 1 Strict Muscle up + 2 Dips

• 15's L-sit Hold  (did this in the rings)

The Gymnastic WOD was pretty easy and I wanted to finish with a  blast.  Derek, my little brother who is rank #1 in the state of Kansas at 170 did Fran yesterday (5:14, not bad for the first time ever) wanted to workout with me.  So we did this football WOD-
As many rounds as possible in 12 minutes:
30 Overhead Walking Lunge 45 lb plate
10 Ball Slams - 40 lbs
 We did not have a ball so we used a two and a half 8" culvert which weighed about 40lbs.

Derek did 6 rounds even and I did 6 rounds + all the lunges and 8 of the slams.  I obviously finished the round.

BMS WRESTLERS

Happy Thanksgiving.  Okay, I think you do your workout before you fill up on turkey.

First, step of 15 of the biggest steps you can take and mark the distance. 

Second, get a stopwatch and press "start"

Now, Sprint the distance as fast as you can one time in the first minute, 2 times in the second minute, 3 times in the third minute 4 in the fourth and so on.

Do this workout as long as you can.  I will be surprised if any of us can do it longer than 10 minutes.

Good luck and have fun!

Bench - "The Ensign"

I benched today to start out.  I wanted to get 255 three times but only got it 2 and 3/4th.  Finished with: 225 x 4, 225 x 4, 225 x 3.  Then I did this WOD and really liked it.  Ron, we will do this one together.

The Ensign
Complete as many rounds as possible in 3 minutes:
3 Power Clean 155 lbs
6 Push Ups
9 Air Squats / 9 Ring Dips
Perform Air Squats on Rounds 1, 3, 5 and Ring Dips on Rounds 2, 4, 6.
Repeat this sequence 6 times (6 rounds). Rest for 1 minutes between the 3 minute rounds.

My rounds were 3,4,3,4,3,4   It was a good workout.

BMS Wrestling Workout for Wednesday.

Okay Guys we will make this one simple.  Do 150 burpees as fast as you can.  Make sure your chest touches the ground and make sure you clap above your head at the top of your jump.  Post your times here at the comments.  One more thing, thanksgiving is a time to enjoy family.  Your family will enjoy you more if you have a good attitude.  Find something nice to do for your mom or dad today.  That's it for now.  Hit those burpees hard and have fun!

Bench - Thrusters, Toes-to-bar, 200

I am still increasing bench press weight by 5 pounds a week and maxing out on the reps.  This time I got 3 reps of 250lbs.  Shoulders are feeling better all the time.  I am now finishing bench with two plates and pump out as many reps in a set as I can for a few sets which was about five.  It is good to feel a tired chest but still have the power to do good sets with this weight.

I finished with this W.O.D.  It was Friday night and I was spent when I started and did not keep time because I left my phone/stopwatch at the wrestling room.  I did finish pretty strong even if I did not start out that way.

Seven rounds for time of:
75 pound Thruster, 12 reps
9 Toes-to-bar
Run 200 meters with a 20 pound medicine ball (I forgot the Med ball which is what caught my eye in the first place!)

Squat Cleans and a quick WOD

I did a bunch of squat cleans, went for 230 and did not get it.  I did whatever lift it is I see Ben and Clayton doing a lot where the bar is pulled up to the upper chest or armpits from the floor.  I closed out with this WOD

Complete 10 rounds:
3 Power Cleans - 155 lbs
1 Max Height Box Jump
20 yard Flying Start - take 10 yards to accelerate
*Recover as needed between efforts
*For the flying starts mark off 30 yards. Take 10 yards to accelerate to full speed and sprint 20 yards.

Pretty easy I took less and less recovery time with each round.
