Week 24: WOD #5
Well after helping my sister move to Connecticut, I was back home and ready to make up the workout I missed. The workout was supposed to be the Invictus 5K, the problem being that I’m not in California so I can’t do the same run. Luckily, Pos had done the run already and came up with our own version of it. The run was actually 5.2K, but that wasn’t what made it hard it was the...

Week 24: WOD #4
Today’s workout started with the strength portion, as usual, it consisted of 5 sets of: Push Press 6-8 reps, rest 60secs and then 20-KBS (24kg), 60sec rest and repeat.

The swings were...

WatchThis is the 3rd and final set of my muscle-up transitions + ring dips. I was quite happy to be done with them after this round, and the fact that I did them all without one failed attempt.
WatchThis was the first set of my Muscle-Up Transitions + Ring Dips.
Week 24: WOD #3
I moved ahead in this weeks workout since Pos won’t be here on the weekend. Today I was suppose to run a 5K, but I decided to do the day 4 workout instead because of theses circumstances. Well, today’s started with a strength portion as usual and it was 3x8 front squats using 70% of the weight from last week. So that meant I would 150lbs, but these squats were supposed to be done on a...

Week 24: WOD #2
The second day in this weeks lifting program was much more difficult then yesterdays. The workout started with the strength portion as usual. It was 5x2 of Clean & Jerk using 70-80% of your 1RM and for me that was 165 to 190lbs. After warming up, I started the first set at 175lbs, moved up to 185lbs for the next two and used 190lbs for the final two sets. I was really happy with my cleans...

Week 24: WOD #1
Today was the beginning of the 3rd week on the Invictus lifting program leading up to sectionals. Last week was supposed to be really hard, so this week is supposed to be an off week. The strength portion of today’s workout started with some snatches. We were supposed to use 70-80% of our 1RM, so for me that was between 130 and 150lbs, and do 5 sets of 2 reps and focus on our form. After...

Step Your Game Up!
I signed up to compete at the New York/ New Jersey CrossFit sectionals in Monclair, NJ later on in March. The top 30 get to move on and compete at the North East regionals in Albany, NY. I usually follow the workouts posted on CrossFit Invictus, but since Pos is tight with the owner/head trainer there, we got hooked up with our own 8-week training program.
Just 3 days into the first week and...

My second split jerk i attempted 230lbs, I got it it but when i was gathering I couldn’t keep the weight over head and it fell. After my 2nd set of K2E I attempted...
