Loving the New Life...

...Life of PRs. I like strength days. Well, now that I'm getting PRs again, I like them. The last two days, I was able to get PRs in exercises that I haven't worked on for almost a year.

The Snow Is Here To Stay

Today was such a gloomy day. First full snow day and it looks like it's here to stay. Boo. Oh well, it is Saskatchewan, Canada. What is there to do to stay warm?

Oh, OPT you kill me...no really...

Okay maybe not. CFR's WOD was an OPT chipper. I remember seeing this before and really wanted to do it but I probably had many excuses for not.

"We Meet Again"

It got worse in the evening (Taken from LeaderPost.com)

Sure was an ugly day to go out. Today was the first snow fall of the season. It turned out to be a blizzard. I wasn't sure how many people were going to turn out for the WOD because of it. I shouldn't second guess CrossFitters. A little blizzard doesn't stop them from working out. :)

Thrusterific...No...Thrustorrific

I think I do prefer the second title KimFly came up with instead of the original.  We started out with the sets of 3-3-3-1-1-1 power cleans.  Since CFR is incorporating strength days into their program, I have avoided the olympic lifts because of my back.  I would opt for the alternative full metcon rather than strength and half metcon.  I had a change of heart for Monday's WOD...

Paleo and 1/2 "Michael"

Summer...it's a great time to have a BBQ and socialize with great friends. However, if you go to a BBQ at a friends who aren't paleo, it can be hard to stay paleo. Especially if the only paleo food is covered in sauce.

2010 CrossFit Games: Canadian Regionals

We went to watch the best in Canada compete in the 2010 Crossfit Games: Canadian Regionals in Okotoks, AB.

Pre and Post Saskatchewan CrossFit Challenge

So it's been a while since I've updated the blog.  The last post I had was about the two-a-day...

First couple days back at CFR...

Vacation Workouts

I just got back from Europe last night and I'm dying to get back to CFR...

Central Canada Sectional WOD #3

5 rounds for time:

• 5 Power Cleans - 85lbs
• 10 Burpees
• 200m Run

"300"

I finally got to do the "300" workout today.  I've always wanted to try it out.  I came off a night shift, then Christine and I did the WOD...

"1/2 Angie"

I did this WOD back in January.  CFR has "Angie" as the WOD but I wanted to compare times and it's day four...

Ontario Sectionals WOD#2

3 rounds for time:

• 10 Overhead Squats - 65lbs
• 10 Burpees

12:36*

I haven't done a WOD as rx'd in a while.  Not a spectacular time but it was the first time I've done OHS with 65lbs.  It was really heavy and my wrists were hurting.  They are delicate.  I forgot to tape.  I should find some wrist straps that are made for kids or something.

1 set of 20 knees-to-elbows
4-6-5-4-1

"Pieces of Grace"

5 rounds for time:

• 15 Deadlifts - 65lbs
• 12 Hang Power Cleans
• 9 Front Squats
• 6 Push Jerks

16:56 Good ol' dotcom WODs...suck. This was a good one though. Then I got some kick ass videos of strict muscle-ups.

• Nolan
• Paul
• Robin 1
• Robin 2

I attempted a kipping muscle-up...no dice.
