THIS WAS AN AWESOME WORKOUT!!
As RX'd, except I did bar dips...no rings at my gym. Didn't increase reps on dips...I have an 800m swim and a 2 mile run tonight. No need for extra craziness.
Time - 7:33...I was spent!!
2011 has started off with some major challenges. Healthwise, I have been put in some fairly difficult positions. Financially, I've been stressed as well. The only way to keep my focus is to keep working out, and to set challenging goals for myself. I will have to stay vigilant not just for a year or two...but for my whole life. Being faced with...well what's been handed to me...is a lifetime commitment. Operation: ROBOT is the result of my renewed focus.

Today's WOD--and others like it--is the reason that my running has improved so much over the past six months. You just become faster and stronger with this type of workout.

This was a great workout. Kept my heart rate up, made me sweat a lot, but didn't kill me.

Shoulder Power!
MO080225
Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps
Today, everyone is a Big Dawg! Do the WOD as RX'd. If you are unfamiliar with the movements watch the videos and then use a weight that will allow you to do the WOD.

Wasn't really feelin' the shoulder stuff today, so here's what I did...
EVA. KICKED. MY. ASS.
Mistake number 1 was that I did too long a warmup. And it was too intense. It could've been a WOD. I took two CF Kids WODs, modded them a bit, and combined them into one big workout that looked like this...
FOR TIME...
50 squats
Then without rest, perform three rounds of:
10 pullup burpees
10 dips
10 knees to elbows
10 hang squat cleans, 35lb DBs
10 hang power snatches, 55lb BB
Then without rest after round 3, perform
50 situps.
This workout took me 13:03 and I was huffing and sweating. Probably used way too much energy.
Mistake number 2 was trying to do Eva as RX'd on the first try.
Round 1, as RX'd
Round 2, as RX'd
Round 3, run as RX'd but only got thru 10 DB swings, and 10 pullups before pukey nearly smacked me upside the head.
Rounds 4 and 5...nope. I had to stop because my stomach turned and I almost lost my lunch. Still, it took 22:23 to even get about halfway thru the workout.
UGH...Eva is one I'll have to work up to.

Q's results:
Today's workout wasn't exactly what I expected. I'm overanalyzing it, but I do know that I need to work on how long I can keep my strength up.
Results were:
R1 - 18, 18 (this was good)
R2 - 9, 15 (bench press went to hell really quick...)
R3 - 8, 14 (and stayed there)
R4 - 8, 14 (Kipping rocks)
R5 - 6, 12 (Glad to be done. Shoulder sore!!)
Even with all of this fuss, I HAVE gotten stronger. Look at the improvements in pullups!! I've learned to kip since then, and I've improved my numbers in this workout. My 080117 results were...
16/11
10/9
10/8
8/8
7/7
Yes, I fell off the bar on the last one.
