WOD With Forty Pound Dumbbells

Getting Back Into The Heavier Sandbag For WODS

I am getting back into the heavier sandbag WODs again. My old rep fitness sandbag kept having the fillers open and make a mess so I sort of got away from having the two filler bags in it. Thatโ€™s when they seemed to open.

Challenging WOD For Me Today Then I Tested Weighted Pull Ups

I Did This Week's Sandbag WOD Today And It Was An Exercise In Murphy's Law

Not Really Feeling It But Strength And A WOD Went Okay Today

WOD Out Of My Comfort Zone

I was thinking about passing on todayโ€™s WOD being tired and all but I gave the single shoulder squats a try. They felt awkward but not bad with the sandbag. Itโ€™s always so nice to find success out of my comfort zone.

Strength With AC But It Was In The Mid 90s Outside

Installing the air conditioner in the gymโ€™s window is paying off now. I did my lifting with it on while it was in the middle 90s outside. Without the air I would have most likely failed due to heat.

I Did My First Sand Bag WOD With Pea Gravel In It

I finally got around to doing my first sandbag WOD since I switched my filler bags from sand to pea gravel. The bag had about the same weight as Iโ€™d been using but a slightly different feel to it. That did make the WOD go a bit slower.

It Never Fails When I'm Doing A Running WOD, Everyone Needs To Drive In The Alley When It's Time To Run

It never fails. When I decide to do a running WOD everyone needs to drive down our Alley. It can go hours without a car passing until I go out there to run. It seems that someone has to drive on it every lap.

So Far With Street Parking I've Been Able To Keep The Intensity Up

Iโ€™ve been able to keep the intensity up so far while doing the Street Parking WODs. They have less of a knack for throwing something in that slows me down than Crossfit did.

Top

We Were Able To Do Today's WOD Together Outside

One thing I do miss about going to the gym is being able to do a WOD together. A lot of times we donโ€™t have the space to do that here. Today we were able to do the sandbag version of todayโ€™s WOD together!

Pull ups

After doing the WOD this morning I realized the bench was out of the way i figured Iโ€™d try some pull ups. They felt pretty good aFter being sloppy for a while. I could never do pull ups until I was nearly 40 year old.

We Were Able To Do Yesterday's WOD Together

Sandbag Workouts Are Fun!

We started doing Street Parking WODs about a month or so ago and I noticed they had a sandbag WOD once a week and options in many of the daily WODs. I picked up a Brute Force sandbag and love this addition to our toy box.

DT Hero WOD

I like some hero WODs from Crossfit as benchmarks. Dt was one that I really liked. It was a tough fight the first time I did it. This time I did it with 135 pounds instead of 95 pounds and much more quickly too.

Improvements

Yesterday in Crossfit we redid the 14.1 Crossfit open WOD I had a score of 98 this time around versus I think 70 from last year. My snatches were ugly back then. It really got me thinking about the improvements Iโ€™ve been making.
