Wednesday, October 22nd

WOD:

Run 5k


Damn cold morning for a run. But we slogged through it for the downtown Elgin 5k! Sorry for the lack of pictures today. It's hard to run and take a good picture...

Jacob, a.k.a. The Skunk: 21:02

Nate, a.k.a. The Mongoose: 22:57

Shane, a.k.a. The Mountain: 32:18

Tuesday, October 21st

WOD:

10 Rounds for time of:
-12 Burpees
-12 Pullups

Again, one that looks easy but is more of a beast than first glance. Damn burpees...We added a twist for this one and tacked on a bonus 5 rounds that would give us a total of 180 of both burpees and pullups.

Jacob tackled the workout at 13:28, and made 21:09 with the bonus. Shane went for 21:42 on the rx'ed rounds and did 32:06 with the bonus. Nate did 17:42 for the workout but was dead to the world to try and do the bonus rounds...

WOD:
Max rounds in 20 minutes of:
95# Thruster x 5
95# Hang Clean x 7
95# Sumo Deadlift High Pull x 10


At first glance, this one doesn't seem so bad but its much more evil than you could ever imagine. Shane went at Rx'ed for 4 full rounds and 3 thrusters. Nate drop the weight to 85# and got 7 rounds and 5 thrusters. Jacob eeked out 12 full rounds at 95#.

Preparations are underway for acquiring a squat cage for Crossfit Szafranski. In the coming weeks we're hoping to roll-out a 13 week squat routine and training program to work on squat form and total weight. More information to follow!

Thursday, October 16th

WOD:
Snatch 1x5


Nate borrowed one from Gym Jones today to do "The Vomit Comet."
3 Rounds for time:
-21 Thrusters
-15 KBS @ 1.5 pood
-12 PUs
-9 Burpees

For once the burpees were not that bad but the thrusters followed by the kettlebells were downright torture. Total time to finish was 12:34. Not a bad showing! Shane did the WOD of the day as Rx'ed followed by a few muscle-ups. No word yet on Jacob's WOD at the FD.
