D.H.P WOD

This is a great place to get this blog started again now that my Tech test is over I might have a minute or two to breath.  The WOD that we did today for SQ PT was a very very killer WOD.  It is the Disposable Hero WOD.  The idea behind this movement within the Crossfit community is to raise awareness about our heros that fight over seas for the freedom that we love.   The second we forget about all their sacrifices they become in a sense disposable.  So today as a SQ we embraced the suck for all those that fight for our freedom.  The work out was:

Five Rounds for Time

400 Metter Run
40 Metter Lunge
25 Knees to Elbows (Every time you come off the bar it is five burpees)
25 Push ups (Chest to floor with hands clearing the floor)
25 Burpee pull ups

I only had time to get through 3 rounds but they killed.  I will get back on this and complete it hopefully soon.

Fail

I saw this T-shirt today and I think it was close to the truth but it missed one word.  It said fail then under each letter were the word First Attempt In Learning, I think it should say First Attempt is Learning.   We will all fail at some point in our life and if we don't we are not living.  Failure is as important in learning to work out as it is in life.   The first time you fail it is just a learning experience for the next time you try.   Learn to fail, fail often and learn from every time you fail. Today's WOD was 3 Mile Run Then 8x4 of wide grip Bench Press 5x4 L Sit Pull ups holding a 20lbs ball 8,6,4,2 Gorilla Complex Then 1 round of 6 KB One Arm over Head squats 6 Burpee box jumps 30-inch box 6 HSPU

Two good work outs Animal Style and War Horse

Yesterday was not the best day and I really needed something to kick my butt and I found it.  I will post what Thursdays WOD was because it was an amazing one.  I had two people join me for Thursday and they both did amazing.   The thought process for Thursday was that on Wed night I taught a beginner class and the guy was prior military and wanted a good push.  So I had him do a ten minute amrap of 4 dead lifts, 6 push ups, 8 sit ups and a 200 meter run.  So as he was working on it I started to think how could I make this even better so here is what I came up with. Animal Style 6 Rounds for Time 2 Sand Bag get ups I used an 85lbs bag and the two with me used 45lbs bags 4 Dead Lifts 225/95 6 Burpee Box Jumps (When thriller came on it got a bit silly) 8 weighted sit ups 30lbs slam ball 400 Meter run Animal style in order to leave the gym you had to bear crawl to the door about 35 feet and in order to get back to your weights you had to frogger the 35 ...

Humility

I have to give huge props to Tracy Jardim today.  He challenged me to a work out and then destroyed me in it.  There is a lot to be said about humility in crossfit.  It is one of the most important aspects of crossfit understanding that you might be doing something that you have never done before and it is ok to suck at it and do light weights.  Today was one of those days.  After coming back from a huge high on a new PR today Tracy challenged me to do one of the open workouts.  Now I have been looking at this WOD for a little while now and wanting to give it a try however, it had overhead squats in it and that was holding me back.  So glad someone pushed me into it because I needed the reality check and humility check.   So since I have started in crossfit I have never worked overhead anything really.  Before it was because of my shoulder and any weight overhead just felt bad and wrong.  Now it is because I have never worked overhead so...
