Welcome

a space where I will rant about: baseball, fitness training, MMA, comic books, video games, philosophy, politics, society, and general assclownery.
NOTE: I annotate all my lifting as weight x reps x sets, so 200x3x5 would be 200lbs done for three repetitions for five sets.

WOD 05.28.09

Thruster Ladder
With a continuously running clock, perform one Thruster the first minute, two the second, three the third and so on until you can't keep up with the clock.

9 Rounds + 5 with 50lb Dumbbells

Row 500m
Time 1:33

The nice thing about a 500m is by the time it starts to suck it's almost over

WOD 05.27.09

High Bar Back Squat
135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 245x5, 265x5

Decided to go high bar because I have never done them before and I wanted to keep the weight light because I'm still recovering this week.
