HSPU Helen

Day 3 at Westside and loving every minute of it.

7AM class went down like this:

Warmup:  (Loving the proper warmups!)

3 Rounds - No rest between stations or rounds.

1 Minute Rowing
1 Minute Ab Mat V-Situps
1 Minute Standing Lunges

Skills Practice:  Handstands and Handstand Pushups!

I’ve been working on this the last few months but have still struggled with it.  Jenika helped me with my form and hand and head placements and the HSPU will get better. 

WOD

HSPU Helen

3 Rounds
Run around block (I need to find out how many M this is, but it’s at least 400)
21 KB Swings 1.5 Pood
12 HSPU

First round I did 2 Ab Mats for the HSPU
Second round I did 3 Ab Mats for the HSPU
Third round I couldn’t even hold a HandStand and did inverted pushups off the box.

Time was 17 something…..

Looking forward to Saturday WOD with Jason.  Will be a good one!
SHOULDERS ARE FRIED!

Well i’ve been itching lately to train with more CrossFiters and get plugged into a proper Box.  Training with Sterling has been and continues to be the best thing that’s ever happened to me as far as my fitness goes, but the grind of the Globo has gotten to me big time.  I crave the CF community and the experience that comes with training in a proper box.

My living situation remains in limbo with nothing certain of where i’m going to end up in a month or two, but one thing I do know is that i’m trying to organize my life and schedule a bit to allow me to get to classes at CF Westside.

Popped in this morning for the 7AM class and bought a 1 month membership and plan on hitting the box hard this month.  I asked Jenika to take my game to the next level and hopefully after a month i’ll be in a situation where I can make some more longer term decisions of where I’ll be training.

CF WestSidt WOD:   Warm up

3 Rounds
100 Skips
10 Dowel Rotations
10 Dowel OHS
10 Ab Mat Situps

Skills:   Deadlift technique

Partner WOD:

4 Rounds

1 Minute Row for Calories
1 Minute DeadLift 130#
1 Minute Pushups
1 Minute Rest

I can’t remember the girls name that I partnered up with, but give me a break, it was the first class with this crew, I will start to learn everyone’s names…I promise.

Partner Score:  397 Reps between the 2 of us.   Post WOD pullups divide by 10 = 39 pullups between the 2 of us.   We finished first so it was divide by 10, the other team had to divide by 5.

I enjoyed the experience allot.  You simply can’t compare CrossFit at a Globo, or on your own with the experience of a proper box.   Looking forward to more training in the next month.

So, as a result of joining CF WestSide I will officially be off .com programming for a while and will be following Jenikas Programming for now.  I may still do the occasional .com WOD, but they will be few and far between!

3,2,1  GO!
