WOD - Crossfit Angie

This was a "where are they now" kind of workout.  Just wanted to see if made any progress over the past 5 years, or if I regressed since then.

For time, finish all reps before moving on:

  • 100 jumping pull ups
  • 100 push ups
  • 100 sit ups
  • 100 squats

I finished this in about 28 minutes - 7 for pull ups, 8 for push ups, 8 for sit ups and 5 for squats.  That's pretty much on par from 2010 (about a minute faster this time).

I'll take it.

WOD - Short Strength Workout

Rounds of jerks, one-arm rows and bench press


  • 10 x 24kg
  • 15 x 20kg
  • 20 x 16kg

Decent, but would be better with fewer reps and multiple cycles I think.

WOD - Little Sissy

Decided to go with a modified sissy test for this week's cardio.  Ladder down on swings while laddering up on the squat thrusts.

  • 20 - 1:  Two hand swing
  • 1 - 20:  Squat thrust


Took about 25 minutes.  Overall, not too bad - wasn't quite the killer I thought it would be, but still a good workout.

WOD - Cardio

3 rounds:

  • 70 jumping jacks
  • 50 swings (20kg)
  • 30 mount climbers
  • 10 thrusters(2x16kg)

Rest as needed but try to keep the rest between rounds.  Try to go non-stop during the round.

Was going to be 5 rounds, but 3 pretty much did me in.  Hopefully if I keep up with these cardio-centric workouts, they'll get easier.
