its been so long since ive been in the crossfit gym.. almost a month to be certain..not going to lie i was a little scared to come back because its been so long.. after talking to PJ about it.. she jsut reminded me that the first time i was scared too and so easily i built the strength to go on the regular.. so it was either go home and sit or make my body work..
we did Diane today.. i did this same work out on 11/4/09 and def felt the difference.. i lost about 3 min of time.
WOD:
Diane for Time
21.15.9 Deadlifts and Handstand Push-ups (Push-ups) 80Kg
Time Today: 11:27 Time 11/4: 8:28
Goal: the goal is really simple and its just to come back to the gym.. work is crazy but there really shouldnt be an excuse for me to miss gym time. Even if its at least just once a week.. i just want to come back.. i miss the sweat and pain..HURTS SO GOOD!

Nov. 2, 2009 Def a Monday...
not going to lie.. i was a little bit upset with myself and todays work out. I just felt so limited.. I guess i hurt my hand a lot more than I thought i did..(thanks Mark Butin j/k..but really) i tried to do the front squat, but the pressure on fingers extended back or on the hands hurt tremendously.. so i kinda just tried to suck it up and do the back squat. I know i could have def did more weight for the back squat, but with trying to hold that bar back there with my bum left shoulder..i just didnt have enough range of motion to hold it comfortably...RESTRICTED.
WOD:
Back Squat 5.5.5- started with 45kg ended with a strong 63kg
Press 5.5.5- started with 25kg ended with 33kg
Stiff Leg Dead Lift 3x max reps- rep1: 25 rep 2:30 rep 3: 25
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
its funny how 1 or 2kg can def make a difference.. when i was doing the press..35kg is def my max but it wasnt my 5 rep max. I could do 3 good Presses with 35kg but just couldnt finish. When i moved down to 33kg i could finish the 5 reps.
Goal: right now in my head.. its about ROM... working that ROM in my left shoulder.. i hate feeling so limited.. so its gonna be about trying to work on that.. and other things that limit me. Push for what i can without hurting myself..
RAWR!

Oct. 28, 2009- (Back)Front, Push, Back, Pull
my quads and IT bands are def feeling the beating..but its a good kind of beating.. the one where you know you will benefit in the end. Day by day i am regaining the strength i know i use to have, and def feeling the muscles i didnt know i had..but thats whats so great about this program.. progression is key while technique is golden.. where you PUSH PUSH PUSH till you FALL FALL FALL...
WOD:
Back Squat (for me Front) 5.5.5
Push Press 5.5.5
Back Extensions Max Rep
Pullups (Rings) Max Rep
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results:
Front Squats: started with 50kg ending with 54kg
Push Press: started with 40kg ending with 50kg
Back Extensions: Max Rep 1- 20 Max Rep 2- 27 Max Rep 3- 35

Even if its by 1kg...i want it come in the gym and think okay.. lets PR for this... i def want to get stronger.. i think that will always be a life long goal that will come with everything that i do..but being stronger with proper technique and form. Running still needs to become one of the priorities i need to work on for sure...so thats def still on my list...im gonna PUSH PUSH PUSH till i FALL FALL FALL..

Oct. 27, 2009 Anyone one up for some Turkish Delights?
I came into the gym thinking, okay, we have been doing lots of lifting lately...im going to assume that is what we are going to do.. Considering i was limited on time because i had work in a couple of hours, i thought...no sweat...get in and get out..
WRONG!
the Gymster Mr. Andrew Bueno threw me, personally, a curve ball.
Lets just put it out there for the record: I Missy Cruz HATE running. Always been a weakness of mine.. it was something i always wanted to work on..and i set a goal for it.. but man i hate it.. i swear Andrew must have read my goals and saw the portion where it said i wanted to work on cardio.
But i took it as a challenge and had to fight my initial reaction of: "shit..we are running."
Its like that quote form yesterday.. "i never regret doing it, but i regret not doing it.." or something like that..during the run i had to also fight the urge to want to walk..the moment someone lapped me...i was like shit okay..PUSH PUSH PUSH! and so PUSH i did..
WOD:
4 Rounds for Time of:
400m Run
12 Turkish Get-ups
TIME: 25:26
Goal: running i think will always be my weakness, but not something I cant do. The goal is still still constantly work on incorporating running into my everyday life..and to continue to fight the urge to walk and just say PUSH IT! i think that i am very capable of doing more..its self-motivation i need to work on..because i find that with in..its not that my body cant do it.. but my mind telling me i cant do it.. and then it all just becomes a simple mental game..
soooo.. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.. PUSH PUSH PUSH!

Oct. 26, 2009- Elbows Up!
It's been a few days since the last time i was in the gym. I worked out at 6am, which was a little bit of a change, but it was actually good. I think i prefer to start early in the morning now. Because of such an early start, i feel like i can now start my day and i didnt waste most of it sleeping in and pretty much doing nothing.
Todays WOD:
Front Squat: 5.5.5
Press: 5.5.5
Dead-lift: 5.3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Numbers:
Front Squat: 5.5.5 (53kg)
Press: 5.5.5 (35kg) note* when i was getting towards the last 5, i couldnt finish, got tired and i tried to press up but nothing was coming out. too heavy perhaps.
Dead-lift: 5.3.1 5.(35kg) 3.(90kg) 1. (105kg)
I think that i did pretty well with the dead-lifts. I think 105kg was def my max. Prior to that i tried to do 115kg and it was not budging, so that was a good number. I can honestly feel myself getting stronger as i progress into this program. My left shoulder is def getting an ass whooping and i can feel the scar tissue building.
Goal: My goals are to constantly work on proper form and mechanics. A lot of this is still new, so right now its just about doing it right and then adding the weight. Also, trying to work on strengthening the core more and adding cardio workouts outside of Crossfit. With the shoulder, trying to build strong ROM and pushing on scar tissue.

Oct, 21, 2009 21-15-9
Todays work out almost felt like a cool down from what we have been doing all week. It was still hard with high intensity, just not as intense as the other work outs from this past week. Im def sore. Feeling it in my quads from the Overhead Squats and now my shoulders.
Today was a timed workout:
21-15-9 w/20lb dumbbell of:
DB Power Snatch (L)
DB Power Snatch (R)
Dips
Time: 6:19
Goal: Still just concentrate on better mechanics and cleaning everything up. Constantly always try and push more weight if feasible. Within the gym and out of the gym, work on strengthening the core.

Oc.t 15, 2009-First Day...
I came to the gym to help Andrew out with moving some tractor tires into the gym. One 300lbs and he other 500lbs. I wasnt really planning on actually doing a work out that day.. but why not..
Day one was good.. mostly learned mechanics and technique with lifting. Before of the bum shoulder, we had to do a modified workout instead of the back squats that everyone else were doing.
Learned how to properly do the Overhead Squat. First started with a 20k bar and slowly increased weight.
PR for Overhead Squat: 45k
Goal- Work on form and technique.
