Second day at CF WestSide and i’m really liking it so far.   Meet more members today, so far everyone is really nice and encouraging.  Just what you want to see at a CF Box!

Warmup

3 Rounds
Run around the block
5 pullups
10 pushups
10 dowel rotations

WOD

Back Squats  5,5,5,5,5

All weights in Kilos

5X95, 5X95, 5X95, 2X100, 5X95

Previous weights for this WOD was 205 and 215 lbs.  95 Kilos = 209 lbs so I was right in the middle of my previous lifts.  On my fourth round, 3rd lift I had to bail….Man it was nice to just drop the weight and not worry.  I totally bailed wrong, but will remember to roll it off my back next time instead of ducking under the bar as it falls.  LOL

Jenika gave some awesome instruction on the lift and i’ve already had my technique tweaked on the lift so that is really good!  Looking forward to more of her instruction.

Finished off with 50 24 kg Kettlebell weighted Ab Mat Situps

Every time you stop it’s a 5 burpee penalty.  

NO BURPEES FOR ME!  I refused to stop as I didn’t want to do any.

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!
