CHALLENGE # 5 - Friday

CrossFit CowBell Total - 1 Rep Max

Back Squat
Shoulder Press
Deadlift
Bench

The last time we did this was nearly 2 months ago (07/15/2008). It's time to revisit our old friend.

Here are the totals from last time (squat / press / deadlift / bench):
Jake: 245 / 125 / 285 / 215 = 870
NayNay: 455 / 205 / 475 / NA = 1,135
Berb: 275 / 145 / 335 / NA = 755
Tom: 290 / 145 / 314 / 240 = 989

"The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized – and never knowing."

Bruce Lee Week...

The Bruce Lee Week starts in less than a week...hopefully we're all ready.

If anyone is wondering why it's named the Bruce Lee Week instead of, say, the Chuck Norris Week or the Hard Routine or anything else, need only watch this video:

Anyway, enough of Chuck Norris. Is there any interest in doing one structured workout this week as a group? By structured, I mean we all do it and report on the website our results like we will do next week.

I was thinking of a CrossFit Total (squat, press, deadlift) if only because that, along with what we're doing next week, will provide us with a good baseline to note our progress over the next 5 weeks.

Crossfit Total

tuesday evening crossfit total, deadlift 265, squat 205, press 125 for a total of 595. i'd like to see where tommy is at. the mister i can lift a house can probably deadlift 900 pounds. tania did it with me, she was at 135 deadlift, 75lb squat, 50lb press for a total of 260.


this morning i did a modified donkey kong. 21-15-9 of 65lb oh squats, 53lb swings, double unders and inclined pushups. finished in 13:39. the oh squats are very hard. i'm not sure how i'm going to make it through the nancy coming up next week that has 5 sets of 15 overhead squats at 95lbs.
