Level 2 Workouts

So we hit the Wendler program hard again. Mike V and I had a good time with dead lifts. I hit up the bench press too. I know a bunch of people will be adding clean and jerk and snatch to their lifts later in the week took as part of Wendler. 5/3/1 works guys. Very very happy with it. OK so we had some other stellar efforts happen as a result of John W fooling around with some heavy rocks...

Atlas Stone Grace:
John: 22 reps 130# stone + 8 reps 150# stone TIME??
Pukie: 30 x 112# stone: 5 something 
Kit: 30 x 112# stone: 8 something
Kerry: 30 x 60# stone: TIME??
Joe A: 30 x 112# stone: TIME??

I wish I had your actual times with me, maybe you guys can fill them out. Let me know if you can't edit these pages and i'll make ya'll admin. 

Kit's Other Lifts
Week One Wendler

Deads:
5 x 305/325/350(x10)

Again, my take on that weight vest....it sucks! Sucks to jump, sucks to breathe, sucks to move in it. Probably one of the harder WOD's i've done since sectionals.

Questions from Kit

For some reason I couldn't answer your questions below, so here they are:

1. What do you do when you lose motivation and need to push/light a fire under you?

Chris: honestly it's hard if I don't have that motivation. Something that does motivate me is other people watching. Doing that vest wod made me want to do my best.

2. What is your favorite cheat meal?

Chris: After sectionals, I had pizza and a chicken finger hoagie. The day after I had chinese food. I like ice cream too.

3. How much rest did you take after Sectionals?

Chris: I actually wanted to do Filthy Fifty the day after but decided against it. Then I got sick, so basically a whole week. Then came back and pr'd on the C&J and sumo deadlift, so if a week off is what it takes, then I'll do it! (minus the sick)

Training Around an Injury




Okkk, Okkk...so my knee isn't injured, just hurt a bit. I grazed it against a rock during a trail run last weekend...and by grazed, I mean I dive bombed it straight into the top of a rock and have been nursing it a bit for a few days. Squats, oly, deads, etc are no good right now. So what to do? What to do? Time to get creative...


3 Rounds for Time


250m Row
15 Sledge Hammers (16# Hammer on a tire, alternate hands)
15 GHD Situps
5 Muscle ups + 3 Ring Dips per MU
15 KB Swings (55# KB)
15 Ring Push Ups


Time: 20:45

This worked out pretty well for me throughout the work out. My knee didn't bother me, no real heavy loads. I worked upper body and was able to get a met-con style wod in.

KoP Level 2 Studs

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Here we have an opportunity. An opportunity to continue in the CrossFit spirit of open information and sharing training ideas...but for the truly badass. My goal for this is to enable us to post our workouts which we do Rx+, Rx'd in a ridiculous time, or just plain old additional supplemental training. I realize we are all competing against each other individually, and we know what our own personal strengths and weaknesses are, but sometimes we need to see a bit of someone else's creativity in order to spark our own. We are also all trying to create a team to represent our gym and the product that Aimee has created.

Here is how I see this going down. I will make as many people who want to be authors for this blog. Someone posts their workout for the day and then the next person will be able to go into the page, edit the post, and ADD their name and workout for the day. We will also use this to post the L2 workouts and times after the workout has been done. Since I will not be able to personally be there for the L2 workouts, and I assume some of you might not be able to make it either at one point or another, we will be able to try to complete the WOD on our own, and have a basis of comparison. Honestly, it just lets CP and Swine guinea pig the wods for me so I know how many reps more I have to do or how many seconds faster I have to get it...ha! Love you guys... My other goal is to get Sam to post to the blog. I know Aimee has been working on this for over a year and Sam spottings are a rare occurrence on the CF Kop blog.

On posting. I will make you guys "Authors" and "Admin". You can also post via email by sending an email with your post in the body to:

cszipf.KOPL2@blogger.com

Give it a shot, see what happens.

As this site progresses, I will add links, and hopefully make this a much more formal/official blog like Aimee's and CP's.


Ok, now I must go ice my knee. Good night!
