Monday, August 30: Crossfit Fitness Test #5 Run, Thruster and L Pull-up
So with the Crossfit Fitness Test complete here's how I sized up...
Test 1: 20pts.
Test 2: 11pts.
Test 3: 18pts.
Test 4: 16pts.
Test 5: 17pts.
Grand Total: 82pts (B-)
All I can say is, damn! I can only imagine the types of beastly guys who would score in the 90's on this. It was a fair fitness assessment and I can't wait to see how I fare next time I give this a try.
Warm Up:
Stretch
WOD #1
Crossfit Test 5:
For Time:
800m Run
21 Thrusters, 75lbs
21 L Pull-ups
Performance: The thruster must originate from a full squat each rep. The “L” pull-ups are pull-ups with the legs extended straight out in front of the athlete. Any pull-up where the heels fall below the butt or the legs bend other than slightly is disallowed. The thruster and “L” pull-ups need not be performed consecutively, i.e. without breaking. Any grip is O.K. for the pull-up, but the range of motion must be complete.
Scoring: The entire effort is timed from the start of the run to the last pull-up. A time is returned in minutes and seconds.
4-20 Points Score as follows...
4pts. 6:00-5:53
5pts. 5:52-5:45
6pts. 5:44-5:38
7pts. 5:37-5:31
8pts. 5:30-5:23
9pts. 5:22-5:15
10pts. 5:14-5:08
11pts. 5:07-5:01
12pts. 5:00-4:53
13pts. 4:52-4:45
14pts. 4:44-4:38
15pts. 4:37-4:31
16pts. 4:30-4:23
17pts. 4:22-4:15
18pts. 4:14-4:08
19pts. 4:07-4:01
20pts. 4:00>
Character: This test is classic CrossFit. The combination of a monostructural metabolic exercise (running) combined with a high demand weightlifting movement (Thruster: front squat/push press), and a super demanding bodyweight movement (“L” pull-up), all for time, is distinctly CrossFit and is directly indicative of an athlete’s total capacity.
Jacob 4:20 (800m 2:44, Thrusters unbroken, L Pull-ups 10-5-3-3)
Score: 17pts.
WOD #2
Pick one set weight and complete 21-18-15-12-9-6-3-1 reps of:

I Have Tasted The E.G.G. Pack... And It Is Good!
So here is the first official run of E.G.G. Packs. Good news is they are freaking awesome! The taste is phenomenal, the ingredients top notch and they definitely do the job as far as satiating any athletes paleo hunger. The bad news is they are a little time consuming and I can't really make any money off these unless I start employing my 14 year old brother and other types of slave labor to do my dirty work.
None the less if anyone wants to try one, let me know and I'll send one your way and give you a full list of the ingredients, nutritional content, where to buy what you'll need to make these tasty treats and step by step instruction on how it's done, or if you really like them maybe be we could work something out... I don't know like 10% less then whatever Paleo Kit equivalent order you would like. I can think about the feasibility and my ears are always open, so I'll let you know.
Oh and after a little experiment I did decide to put a little "special sauce" on these E.G.G. Packs to moisten up the turkey meat and further delight the taste buds.
It's no secret just water, Paprika, Cinnamon and dash of Almond Butter... It really makes for an amazing taste!
Sunday, August 29: Crossfit Fitness Test #4 1RM Deadlift and Max Reps Handstand Push-ups
Warm Up:
Stretch
Deadlift 5-4-3-2-1
*5 Handstand Push-ups after each set
Jacob 225-275-325-350-375
WOD #1
Crossfit Test 4:
1RM Deadlift, followed by max rep Handstand Push-ups
Performance: Ramp up to a one-rep max and within 30 seconds of completing the deadlift begin the handstand push-ups. The handstand push-ups must bring the ears below the hands so they needs to be done on parallel bars, parallettes, or some other raised platform like chairs or books. Using the wall for balance is O.K.
Scoring: Multiply the deadlift load in pounds by the number of handstand push-ups completed.
4-20 Points Score as follows...
4pts. 3,500-3,824
5pts. 3,825-4,149
6pts. 4,150-4,474

Character: This duo represents a reasonable estimate of an athlete’s total strength- relative and absolute, upper and lower body.
Jacob Deadlift 425lbs(PR), Handstand Push-ups 25
Score: 16pts. (425x25=10,625)

Friday, August 27: Crossfit Fitness Test #3 Tabata Squats and Max Muscle-ups
So in addition to the 3rd Crossfit test Kenny and I were brave enough to tackle an Elgin Garage Gym classic "The 50 Cal.", and believe me it's never easy.
Warm Up:
Stretch
WOD #1
Crossfit Test 3:
Tabata Squats followed by 4 minutes of Muscle-ups
Performance: After the eighth Tabata Squat interval the athlete gets ten more seconds of rest and then has 4 minutes to complete as many muscle-ups as possible. The muscle-ups need not be consecutive, i.e., without rest. All squats must be from below parallel to full extension of the hip and leg.
Scoring: The test score is the Tabata Squat score (weakest number of squats in each of eight intervals of twenty seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest) multiplied by the number of muscle-ups completed within four minutes. Total time for test: 8 minutes.
4-20 Points Score as follows...
4pts. 180-206
5pts. 207-232
6pts. 233-258
7pts. 259-284
8pts. 285-314
9pts. 315-344
10pts. 345-374
11pts. 375-399
12pts. 400-431
13pts. 432-464
14pts. 465-496
15pts. 496-524
16pts. 525-559
17pts. 560-594
18pts. 595-627
19pts. 628-659
20pts. 660+
Character: The Tabata Squat is a CrossFit classic testing both athletic hip function as well as aerobic and anaerobic capacity. The muscle-up is arguably the single best upper body exercise. This combination alone is suggestive of an athlete’s total fitness.
Jacob Squats 20, Muscle-ups 30
Score: 18pts. (20x30+600)
WOD #2
"The 50 Cal"
5 Rounds for time of:

Squat Clean 5-5-5-5-5
Jacob 135-145-155-165-185
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5
Jacob 135-145-155-165-185
WOD #1
Crossfit Test 2:
Clean and Jerk 15 Reps
Performance: There is no time limit, but the weight cannot be rested on the ground. Resting at the hang, rack, or overhead is O.K. At the ground, the athlete must touch and go. Technique is otherwise not critical.
Scoring: The score is exactly the load lifted.
4-20 Points Score as follows...
4pts. 115-119
5pts. 119-124
6pts. 125-129

17pts. 199-207
18pts. 208-216
19pts. 217-224
20pts. 225+
Character: This classic movement is traditionally an excellent test of overall strength, but when performed at 15 reps becomes an extraordinary metabolic challenge as evidenced by max heart and respiratory rate.
Workout: This test can be practiced as a workout by completing the test and then repeating at twelve and nine reps with the same load, resting between efforts as needed.

I really think if you game this test like a bear complex and rest the weight in you waist during a partiat squat like in a bear complex challenge you can push out a few more reps. I will do that next time.

Well I know that my fitness level in not nearly where it used to be, nor is it anywhere near where I'd like it to be, but this is going to be a good baseline determinate of how to judge it. This looks to be an awesome test of overall fitness capacity thought up by none other then "The Coach" himself. Spread out over a five day period you are to complete one test each day and score yourself among the below point system. I'm going to religiously make this a once every three months kind of thing so mark your calenders, cause it's on!

Sunday, August 22: 2010 Fittest Fire Fighter Challenge
Well I'm going to head out to McHenry for a Fire Fighter Crossfit Challenge, it shoulde be fun and hard to say the least.
I'll let you know how it goes.
This is what the coarse looked like.
WOD
For time complete: (While wearing full turnout gear and SCBA, on air)
18 Ball Slams, 30lbs (Floor to overhead)
9 Tire Jumps, 24" Hold 1.5 Pood Kettlebell and 10lb Sledgehammer
12 Ball Slams, 30lbs
6 Tire Jumps, 24" Hold 1.5 Pood Kettlebell and 10lb Sledgehammer
9 Ball Slams, 30lbs
3 Tire Jumps, 24" Hold 1.5 Pood Kettlebell and 10lb Sledgehammer

20m Hand Over Hand Stationary Tire Pull, 90lbs
50m Run, while carrying both a 1.5 Pood Kettlebell and 10lb Sledgehammer
18 Sledgehammer swings, 10lbs (Must come overhead and hit tire with each swing)
9 Burpee to Barrier Jump, 16"
12 Sledgehammer swings, 10lbs
6 Burpee to Barrier Jump, 16"
9 Sledgehammer swings, 10lbs
3 Burpee to Barrier Jump, 16"
50m Run
50m Forward Facing Tire Pull, 90lbs
Jacob 6:57 Rx'd
This is what I looked like before the WOD.
The first tire pull...
Sledgehammer work...
Here I am running, which was the one goal I set out for today. To be the only guy who ran the coarse as opposed to walkinging it... Mission accomplished. People laughed when I told them I wanted to have the energy and strength to run during the transitions, but I did. I just think I held back a little in between and could have moved faster leading up to these parts.
And here I am dead... If you look up above in the before picture I was actually point to the spot where the paramedics should be standing to revive my corpse upon completion of the WOD.
Over all... 2nd Place, 6:57 Rx'd! I was one of only two people who finished sub 7:00, so I can't complain.

Saturday, August 21: 300FY#2
Friday, August 20, 2010
Friday, August 20: 300FY and 300, The Good, the Bad and The Ugly!
There's the saying, the good, the bad and the ugly. Well I was all three, good, bad and ugly and kenny was just one... good! We decided to do both Gym Jones 300 WOD's, 300 and 300FY. Kenny kicked butt on both and I was ugly-bad on the first one and then good on the second. But I'm happy I'm alive to speak about it.
WOD #1
300FY
Airdyne for Max Calories in 10 minutes (Target 300)
Jacob 200
Kenny 254
And yes my heart did stop beating in this picture.
WOD #2
300
For time:
25 Pull-ups
50 Deadlifts, 135lbs
50 Push-ups
50 Box Jumps
50 Floor Swipes, 135lbs
50 Clean and Press, 35lb Dunmbbells
25 Pull-ups
Jacob 15:02 Rx'd
Kenny 15:36 Rx'd
This is the first time I've ever done this one Rx'd, most of the time, even in crossfit versions of this WOD they often sub for the floor swipes. They're kind of dangerous if you ask me, but so is two 300 work outs back to bad, so what the hell? A floor swip is when you lay on the floor on your back holding the desired weight like the top of a bench press and then extend you legs out straight and the kick both of them up to hit each plate. 1 rep is when to touch both feet to one plate, return them to center and then touch the opposite plate. Real bad stuff they are, real bad!

Tuesday, August 17: Rest After A Lot of Work!
Well, after a 24 hour shift at the station I had a 3 hour break yesterday an WOD'ed yesterday, worked 11AM-12AM in the ED and it was busy as usual, the went to bed by 1AM only to have to be back in the ED at 7AM-7PM. So as you can imagined I just passed out after work and slept the night away only to be back at the FD for another 24, but so is life... busy.

Once again I could get to a WOD at the fire department yesterday, so I got to give this a shot today. We'll I'm happy I finished, happy I'm not hurting and happy it's done. This was a killer workout and I'm going to try to get everyone to give it a go in the not too distant future.
On a lighter note today is the day of my big GRE exam, we'll see how that goes, but the beauty of it is that once I'm done, I can get back to WOD'ing and hitting it hard.
