Rude Awakening

20 KB Snatches (44) 10 left and 10 right
20 2-hand KB Swings (44)
20 Clean and Jerk (44) 10 left and 10 right
Stuart did this with a 52

10 Barbell Snatch (75)
10 Barbell Push Press (95)
10 Barbell Clean and Jerk (115)

5 Back Squat 185 for me 225 for Stuart
5 Bench Press (BW +15) 185 for m 225 for Stuart
5 Deadlift (BW x 1.5) 225 for my first set then 275/225 Stuart did 275

The Rude Awakening is that when you are done with the first time through you do it a second time. I pondered a third...until I was half way through the first. The squats were 179 for me and were plenty heavy. The bench was 185 and I needed a gentle spot. The deadlift was 225 for the first one and for the second 275 for 3 reps and then 225 for the last 2. Scott, Stuart and I did this one and it took us almost 40 minutes. We had to change weights on the barbell lifts and we had to spot each other for the squat and benches.

Jennifer rowed 300 and Alex rowed 1000 (he's 13)

They both did Lactate Pursuit and little Alex had a very good showing. He managed to score 12 on the squats and somewhere around 9 on the other stuff. He used a 17 lb KB and did the pushups on his knees. Great workout for him.

Fight Got Worse

Jennifer 299

Modifications were 15 lbs for the DB Thrusters, 26 lb KB for Snatches, knees down for the pushups and jumping pullups. Her rows and air squats were the same of course and she scored good numbers here as well. Excellent performance.

Stuart 324

Though he gets a knock on the head for not following the instructions, Stuart gets major points for doing FGW without the rest breaks. Amazing that he could score that high without stopping.

Almost Outta Here

Last day here. Another gorgeous day as most of my days here have been. Bosnia-Herzegovina is not a war zone or the dangerous place the name seems to bring to mind. The country is beautiful, the people are friendly...once you are introduced, the food is great, it is inexpensive and it is safe to walk around at all hours of the day or night. Strange politics here in that there are 3 presidents that rotate every 8 months...one prez each for the Serbs, Croats and Bosnians. I have walked over the bridge where Archduke Frans Ferdinand was shot by a Serb which started WWI. The program we put on was defensive tactics training for the cops here and it was a 2-week instructor level course. I have enjoyed my time here but look forward to being home again.

Thursday April 12, 2007

Helen The run was a bit short I am sure - we ran a short distance from the mat room where we were doing the swings and the pullups to the main gym that had a full size basketball court. We did 3 laps around the basketball court for the run and then the swings and pullups. My best with a full 400 meter run has been 8:30.

Eugene 8:05
Edina 9:55
Biljana 9:55

The girls used 16 kg DB's and had a bit of a jump in their pullups. Outstanding performances for being such CF newbies. They were sucking some serious wind and wished much harm upon me.

Wednesday April 11, 2007

Push Press (85)
Swings (20 kb DB)
DB Thruster (2 x 35)
Box Jumps
Feet Elevated Pushups

Eugene, Bart and a SIPA guy and then later Biljana. This was the SIPA guy's first view of CF and he was smoked. He loved it.

Tuesday April 10, 2007

With Bart and Earl in Bosnia on a mission to work though some of "The Moves" during our lunch break. We did the press, push press and push jerk, the hang power clean, clean from the floor and squat clean, deadlift and then thrusters. Then we went downstairs to where the pullup bar is with a pair of 15 kg dumbbells and arranged a stack of mats for box jumps. The workout was dumbbell thrusters, pullups, air squats and box jumps for a very understanding 12-10-8. I finished in 5:25, Bart in 10:34 and I had Earl stop before he hacked up his liver. Good workout, then back to teaching.

Sunday April 8, 2007

I'm in Sarajevo now which is the capitol of Bosnia-Herzegovina. I am here doing some teaching for the Densus Group which was selected by the MPRI (Military Professional Resources Inc) on behalf of the US Dept. of Justice to bring the Bosnian law enforcement DT standard up. We are teaching an instructor level course to a bunch of cops who will bring this instruction back to their various units. We have some SWAT guys who are, as one might expect, the cream of their performance crop. They are doing a pretty fair job of things for people who have had really minimal training. These people live on wages we would starve on. The cops here make from $500 to $750 a month. The economy is depressed here as compared to our own, but that is not at all a decent wage. The weather is about like Washington, the food is good and there are Gipsys all over the place begging for money. I'm enjoying my time here, but I am really looking forward to coming home.

Wednesday April 4, 2007

Found some tires during yesterday's run. By the way, nobody runs here. I have not seen one runner nor one cyclist since I have been here. There do not appear to be any gyms. No one here has every heard of CrossFit. Bohemians.

Two tractor tires (full of mud, water and untold filth) arranged side by side about 50 feet apart. At one pair of tires we did three squats and then jumped out of the squat onto the tire then jumped off the tire for a burpee. That's one rep and we did 5 of those. Then you run to the middle and do 15 squats and 15 pushups. Then to the other set of tires where we flip the tire, jump on the tire, jump off the tire, jump in the tire and out the other side. Same thing back and that's one rep. We did 5 of those. We did this whole thing 3 times.

Eugene 9:33
Kyle, Zelko Pejovic, Emir Sokocevic, Bart all finished around 10:00.

Tuesday April 3, 2007
