SWOD: 5x5 Deadlifts
I was kind of scratching my head on this one seeing as how I head a REALLY intense posterior chain WOD yesterday w/ the 3 Rep Deadlifts and 2 pood KB swings.

Anyways,
1. 280
2. 285
3. 290
4. 295

5 fast Rep singles @ 225
Took 4 minutes of rest b/t deadlifts. @ the 2 minute rest mark
I would perform 1x5 Squat @ 135 just to work on form while I was tired.

WOD: “Salt shaker” – light fast WOD. Open it up and put out!

25 burpees
50 push-ups
40 pull-ups
30 push-ups
20 pull-ups
10 push-ups
25 burpees

Time: 18:51

This was "light and fast" only in that you just had to keep moving through it. I've started picking a "cut-off time" for my WODs. 

Before the WOD started I say "there's no way this WOD will go past X minutes." (today it was 20). I then use that to push myself for a faster time.

Ran into another guy, named Rob incidentally, at the YMCA who does CF and CFFB! (He was a former football player so it makes sense) It was pretty awesome.

After talking with YMCA Rob, a guy comes up to me and goes:
"Hey man what you were just doing- that's crazy man! What is it?!"
I talked with him for a while turns out I went to HS with him, emailing him stuff on CF now.
Guys, I REAALLLLY WANT TO open my own box.

Start posting!

(23JUL2010)

2 mile light run to the lake - this was for fun and I really needed it to stretch out my legs. I haven't run in so long, that I was smoked from the 400m run/burpee WOD
SWOD: skipped it b/c

1. I was working with a Guy named Rich Roslund, helping him clean up his deadlift. It was really nice, because he had already done some work on it so all I had to do was say, "Start with the bar over the middle of your foot. Hips above the knees. Chest out. PULL!"
AND he got it! I had him do 
8 minutes of 3 Deadlifts @ 185
7 Burpees
He went through with it and thought it was pretty cool. He also asked if I needed a lifting partner. The funniest part about it all though is talking to him sounded like a future CrossFit testimonial.
Here are a few things he said...
(paraphrased)
-I'm really tired of doing the same routine every week
-Yeah! It'd be awesome if I could get stronger without getting heavier
AND OF COURSE THE INFAMOUS:
I'll definitely start working this into my routine (this is usually said right before a guy/gal truly gets hooked on CF...yes, thank you for calling me a faggot Wilson.)

Hopefully we can pull this guy and Kayla Heller's boyfriend Graeme Port (soccer player) onboard with CF or CFFB.

ALSO, Jason Neal should quit his job or at the very least stop teaching people lifts. Every lifter of his I have seen has bad form...maybe I'll send him a link to starting strength.

2. I'm doing deadlifts today 5x5 for SEALFit and decided to stick with that b/c yesterday was just a 21-15-9 metcon that would've taken ~6-10 minutes anyways

WOD: Every minute on the minute perform three (3) 135 lb Clean and Jerks

1-5:3 reps
6. 2 REPS-5 burpee penalty
7&8: 3 reps
Well...that LOOKED easy.

Do Epic Shit.

Swimming: Practiced back balance position for the Combat Swimmer Sidestroke (CSS) 45 minutes

Tried to move onto the side balance position, but I kept sinking. I'm having difficulty remembering everything, but it'll come with perfect practice.

WOD: did 5-5-5-5-5-5 Deadlift

225-245-265-275-285-295*
*295 is not a PR for me (305), but my form has never been this solid at 295. I had no problem with hand slip and my shoulders did not round at all.
