Got a cold and skipped a few days. Feeling almost 100%. Decided to do some makeup work and did the WOD from a few days ago: push - jerks in 3 reps for 5 sets. Kept the weight low on purpose. I still feel a bit puny and - I decided to give SF L2D3 a whirl. I did it in 3:27! I can go faster.

One of my clients joined me and knocked it out in 1:54. We'll try L3D3 soon!

CF WOD was Cindy - L8D1

I went with the non-scaled version. Got only 9 rounds - but didn't break the pullups on 6 of the rounds!

You have made great progress. And I just went by your blog. Impressive numbers on your CFT.

Thanks man!

I've got to get a new oly bar and more weights. The 350 went up too easily - I really want to break 400 before 2009!

Nice work you're doing as well! That CFWU is nice to help you fine tune.

Thanks! I like the CFWU. It gives a good warm-up and at the same time a bit of practice on the basic bodyweight exercises.

Yeah if you continue your progress you will soon break the 1000 CFT score... So go and get that oly bar

Thanks for the encouragement. Good to know you're watching. Keeps me motivated.

With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two pull-ups the second minute, three pull-ups the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.

8 minutes

I did a workout here last night on my carport. In Alabama, 34 streets still wet (65 - 70 % humidity) and very windy also!

5 rounds
75# Power snatch x 15
400m run

23:31

Rough! My hands are chapped.

Went to Wright Exercise Equipment (Wright Rubber bumper plates) and bought a few bars, plates and KBs. The Pendlay bar and the bumpers were amazingly smooth. Getting serious around here!

It was fun!

WOD

Clean and Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
135 - 145 - 155PR - 165PR - 175F - 175F - 175F

Failed on the clean. All mental. It was nice on the jerks - I did them in the yard and was WAY more confident since I could dump the bar (and I did every time like a competitor!)

Promptly after that:

Run 5k

Time - 25:41

This was the first time I had ever run a 5k on purpose and so is a PR.
