Bodyweight 186.5# (I puked my guts out again last night)

Press 135x5x5

Bench 225x4x8

Assault Bike x10:
0:20 work
1:40 rest
-32.49 Cal/work minute
About halfway through these intervals I felt like I was gonna puke again, so I had to back off a bit on the second half. Still got a decent work average.


Musings: I only check the mail like once a week because who cares. There were some invitations to a neighbor kid’s birthday party, which started 5 minutes ago. Whoops. #accidental winning

Edit to correct a number

I have fallen into the very same habit lately, likely spurred by a similar attitude, so this gave me my first genuine laugh for the day.

This is the same family that shoehorned the husband’s birthday into the neighborhood 4th of July party.

Thanks! It sure felt like a big deal (even though I haven’t really been working on it [which sounds like an annoying humble brag, but I’ve had a lot of irons in the fire lately])

Bench 315x3@10. Yuck. I’m just coming back from an illness, I haven’t benched heavy in ages, and I just finished a cut, so it’s no surprise my bench is in the toilet. But still, yuck.
245x5x5

Upright Row 95x3x18

Assault Bike x2:
8:00 work
2:00 rest
-58-59 rpm
-12.04 Cal/work minute

Arm blaster curls
French press


Musings: My knees have been feeling better, so I think I’ll pepper in a little more CrossFit stuff. I’ll continue using the Assault Bike for conditioning, maybe dedicate 15 minutes to skill work, and rotate the Olympic lifts into my scheme.

Guess I’ll never get my bench back.

Landmine Row +100x3x18

Assault Bike x5:
1:00 work
5:00 rest
-22.88 Cal/work minute
-74-76 rpm
I’ve done this workout three times now. Each time a little faster. It’s definitely a top contender for most uncomfortable interval scheme.

No accessories. I feel sleepy like after sex but also nauseated like after anaerobic intervals.

[broseph]

@JFick I looked up those gymnastics holds… good night, sweet bicep tendons. Especially that Maltese nonsense.

Bodyweight 187.0#

Worked a bunch during the last 48 hours; day and night. Ate donuts and nachos yesterday. Was able to sleep in a little today.

2/25/22

CF Open 22.1
15:00 amrap
-3 wall walk
-12 DB snatch (50#)
-15 box jumpovers

177 reps @ruffstuff


I started a little hot, but not terribly so. I’m curious if I’d get a better score if I slowed down a little and stayed more consistent. The answer is almost certainly “yes,” but it’s my first Open and I probably won’t even be able to complete one of the next workouts so who cares.

2/26/22

Bench 275x5x3

Squat 355x1,
285x6x6

Assault Bike

-58-60 rpm
-12.66 Cal/work minute

Face pull
Cable curl
Trice pushdown


Musings: I’ll be running Hanley’s 12-session program for bench, squat, and deadlift. Took a big deload on the squat (for knees) and used my piss poor 3RM bench from last week for an e1RM. This gives me plenty of room for progress (and not get frustrated).

I want to start practicing the Olympic lifts again, so tentatively I’ll be doing Hanley every other session, with quick lift practices in between?

Dude, that sucks.

To be faaaiiiir, I’m probably just being dramatic and there’s nothing really going on.
Alternatively; knee cancer.

Sorry to hear that, man. Have you had one before? Are you speculating from experience? Hope it's nothing, like maybe you're just old and frail now?
