Greetings fitness enthusiasts!!!

It's been a long Monday and there's a long way to go still. We had a great time in OC over the weekend. But, man...it wore me out. We did our Olympic Lifting clinic @ CrossFit Newport Beach with Sage Burgener on Saturday and tried to do a run on the beach in Huntington yesterday, but my back was really tight. So, we run/walked what seemed like forever...but actually was only about 2-3 miles. Today starts Day 1 for me of going back on the Zone diet. I'm going down to 13 blocks this time. I'm @ 7 so far today and starving. But that means I still have 6 blocks before I go to bed! ;)

Choice of WODs tonight:

WOD #1 - "J.T"

21-15-9 reps of:
Handstand push-ups
Ring dips
Push-ups

WOD # 2 -

Shoulder Press
5 x 5

Have fun!

Custom WOD Thursdee...

We were all pretty beat up from the week and a hard WOD Wednesday night. That is no excuse, but (whenever someone uses 'but' it means ignore whatever they just said) we have our Oly lifting clinic @ CrossFit Newport on Saturday and didn't want to be totally spent. So, I did a breathing ladder (which kicked my a$$ btw) and the girls did a custom Tabata. Here is my WOD:

Warm up:
4 min. Row
Then
3 rounds
15 abmats
15 iron crosses
15 scorpions
15 good mornings
15 aboriginals

Workout:
1->15->1 Breathing ladder @ 45lb. kettlebell
16:05

Here is info on Breathing ladders.

Happy April Fools day!!!

Workout:
Front Squat: 3-3-3-3-3 reps… heavy
then…
7 Rounds:
7 Pull-ups
7 Burpees

See comments for loads, results, and scaling.
