OSU Football - Cotton Bowl

OSU completely sucked the entire game. No one was sharp, a lot of penalties, and turnovers. OSU needs to consider not going to future bowl games because they never looked good. Time to fire Gundy because his team cannot get it done. Cannot beat Texas and cannot beat OU. If a team cannot do either, then they may as well stay home!

Completely pitiful...the worst bowl game thus far.

I am a pitiful blogger

Title spells it out...been since late Oct that I have updated my workouts...just getting lazy. Today my left ear hurts again. This has been a recurring issue for several years. Docs cannot figure it out...it is not an infection. I think it is a form of migraine due to stress. I really have not been overstressed until I have to deal with my oldest child. So when he graduates and goes to college, maybe my ear will quit hurting as much as my wallet will be hurting ;-)

30 Oct Crossfit Update - Injury Recovery

Injured left knee/quad doing WOD last Thursday (lunges). The front, lower part of my knee hurt Friday/Sat/Sun and I was limping. Since it would not "go away", I started massaging my left quad (ouch) and there was a very tight/sore muscle near the thigh bone. Used ice, massage stick and vibrating massager. On Mon-Wed, my knee was achy and felt real tight. No acute pain, just discomfort. I continued with massage, keeping my knee elevated and ice/heat. Also, I did not do any exercise that affected my knees. Today is the first day my knee started feeling normal and I did Annie. I will continue to take it easy and then I will start on my 1/2 marathon training plan.

Flutter Update

I have a couple of minor episodes of flutter lately. Very short duration, late in the evening. No further issues. I will be keeping an eye on it and decide if I need to contact the heart doc.

My concern if it continues is that the doc will increase my dosage which will in turn lower my max heart rate. This will result in more difficult recovery during my workouts...and higher times.

Finally Well Again

I have been ill with an upper respiratory virus (and still coughing on occasion) since my last post on 9/12. On my trip to Juno Beach I did nothing except work and try to get well. I had to travel to Savannah, GA last week and basically slowly eased back into the xfit routine. So here are my latest workouts:

Tuesday 090929
Snatch 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

I am pitiful at this lift. I cannot get into a real squat position with weight overhead. My best was 67# because I was worried I would dump it on my head if I went higher...need to work the technique.

Monday 090928
Rest Day

Sunday 090927
Complete as many rounds as possible 20 minutes of:
95 pound Thruster, 5 reps
95 pound Hang Powercleans, 7 reps
95 pound Sumo Deadlift High-pull, 10 reps
Post rounds completed to comments.

Used 87# (using curling bar). 5 rounds...pacing myself. I was worried that after this exercise that I may have rhabdo (thought I saw blood in the urine). However, no subsequent ill effects so I may have just had dark urine since I did run 5.7 miles earlier and drank coffee.

Saturday 090926
"Angie"
For time:
100 Pull-ups
100 Push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Squats
Post time to comments.

Had to break the first three up into sets. Last 50 pushups were on my knees since my triceps were shot. Killer workout. Time 19:00:00.

Friday 090925

Traveled home and then mowed lawn and did general stuff around the house...skipped workout.

Thursday 090924
Rest Day

Wednesday 090923
Five rounds for max reps of:
Body weight bench press
Pull-ups
Body weight back squat (sub leg press)
Post reps for all three exercises in all rounds.

Did only four rounds (Bench 9-8-6-6, PU 12-10-8-6, LP 15-15-15-15)

Tuesday 090922

Supposed to deadlift - I ran some and then did leg press up to 370#.

Monday 090921
Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps
Post loads to comments.

Ran and did CFWU...still trying to get back on my feet from the virus.

090912 - 090920

No workouts...sick and just trying to feel better. I think I ran on the 20th about 3 miles, but that was it for the time period.

If you cannot do the muscle-ups do 120 pull-ups and 120 dips.

I did the latter...I did not time myself because I thought I would not make the entire amount. I think it took me about 20-25 minutes and I did sets of four each. They were assisted since I cannot kip on my home setup. But I got it done!

Sat 7/18

Rest - walked 6 miles with my wife in the morning and ran a 5K (Retro Run) that evening. Time was around 29 minutes. I was carrying my camera and I would stop and take pics along the route.

Sun 7/19

For time:
50 Box jump, 24 inch box (20 inch on stairs); 50 Jumping pull-ups; 50 Kettlebell swings, 1 pood (25#); Walking Lunge, 50 steps; 50 Knees to elbows (roman chair); 50 Push press, 45 pounds (30#); 50 Back extensions (good mornings with 10#); 50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball (thrusters with one 15# dumbell); 50 Burpees; 50 Double unders (one unders)

Burpees just plain suck. Those hurt the most.

Time was 29:40 and this was after trimming hedges for 5 hours...

Mon 7/20

Run 5k - did this on Sat and took day off

Tue 7/21

Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps - no equipment for DL - ran 5 miles instead ~45 min

Wed 7/22

Rest

Thu 7/23

DT

Five rounds for time of:
155 pound Deadlift (100#), 12 reps
155 pound Hang power clean (80#), 9 reps
155 pound Push jerk (70#), 6 reps

Did this with dumbells at work...not quite the same. Seems to be more difficult with dumbells than barbell.

Time 16:42

RIP Darrell "Shifty" Powers

A genuine war hero, an average man that represented the best America had to offer in her greatest time of need. No big record deals, no screaming fans, no over priced house, just an ordinary man that lived through an extraordinary experience.

Shifty died on June 17 after fighting cancer.

There was no parade.

No big event in Staples Center.

No wall to wall back to back 24x7 news coverage.

No weeping fans on television.

I Suck at OHS

Wed WOD

OHS - overhead squats....I cannot do them with any amount of weight. I tried dumbells since I don't have an olympic bar...no can do. I ended up doing the workout with a broomstick.

"Nancy"

5 rounds for time of:
400 meter run (yep)
95 pound Overhead squat, 15 reps (broomstick and poor form)

Time was 14:51 - ran at 4:30pm and it was toasty.

Tuesday was a rest day

Monday

Thruster 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

I used dumbells...35X3, 40X3, 45X3, 50X1. My left arm is quite weak compared to my right arm and that is where I failed on 50#.
