CF WOD 080910

Today I narrowly avoided the becoming the first person to throw up while lifting weights at my workplace gym!

5 rounds for max reps of:

• Body weight bench press
• Pull-ups
• Body weight back squat

My results :

• bench press 185 lbs 10/6/5/5/6
• back squat 185 lbs 12/10/8/7/7
• pull ups 15/10/8/10/10

With no spotter I didn't go to failure on any exercise except pull ups. I rested about 2 minutes between each circuit and I was GASSED. This workout was brutal.

CF really stole my thunder on strength focused periodization within the crossfit cycle. I'd say 75% of the past 2 weeks WODs have been strength focused. Look slike I underestimated the Coach!

Another thing I learned is that it is damn hard to string together 3 days of strength workouts where you go all out on functional exercises like squatting and dead lift. But I do feel like I'm getting stronger.

Another interesting side node, in the past 4 months this is the 4th time I have benched and I've benched 2x in the last week.
