Angie

Posted on Jun 07, 2007 - 9:34am by MarkFu in Training Log

In 2006, most of my workouts were in the morning from 6:00-7:00, either at Crossfit Marina or Met-Rx. In 2007, the majority of the workouts have been in the pm and I generally prefer late afternoon or early evening.

Today, I decided to at the very least do a morning bodyweight/metcon workout with the idea that I will do a bench press workout in the afternoon. (We’ll see). The workout du jour was a little gem called "Angie". This was the 4th time I have done this WOD.

For time:
100 Pull-ups
100 Push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Squats

For pull-ups, I did assisted pull-ups and my previous best time doing those was 22:25. Today I did it in 18:37:31. I also did the push-ups first because I wanted to do a max effort (ME) for consecutive push-ups and I beat my best by 5 and got 75. The remaining 25 got split up 3 times. Of the four, I performed the push-ups best and fastest and the squats improved. The pull-ups probably took longer than usual because I placed them after the sit-ups this time.

WOD in the GrassWhile Valerie and her running buddies trained at the track doing 10×500 meter runs, I was in the grassy infield warming up for my metcon session. It was a beautiful late afternoon; warm, but with some cloud cover and cool breezes. Just right. It was a great idea to stay...
Jerk OutThe title is the name of an 80’s Morris Day and the Time song, Jerk Out. It is also the second part of the Olympic lift, the Clean & Jerk. That is the part where you have the bar racked to the front of the shoulders, you dip, explode the...
