WOD - Muscle-ups and Squat Snatch (Tuesday, 31 MAY 11)

Three rounds, 9-7- and 5 reps, for time of:
Muscle-up
135 pound Squat snatch

Mine (9:54):

Three rounds -

Muscle-up progressions x 18, 12, 5 (I tried to double the reps since I'm doing progressions, but it didn't work out...find out why by reading on)

Squat clean (I read it wrong; my bad) x 9, 7, 5

Ya, so I get through the first two rounds, and I'm smoked. My muscles aren't really hurting that bad, nor am I gassed really bad, either. Rather, I'm just completely out of breath. I'm racking my brain as to why, since I can normally get through an exercise much more cardio-intensive than this one without being this wasted; and then I realize it: I forgot to take my dang asthma medication.

DANGIT!!!

WOD - Jump Rope Singles, Situps, 1min Sprint (Monday, 30 MAY 11)

Five rounds for time:

Jump rope singles x 50

Situps x 25

1min Sprint

Mine (13:18 - 5min of sprints = 8:18):

As prescribed

My jump rope broke *tear*

WOD - Swimming, Pushups (Saturday, 28 MAY 11)

Five rounds for time of:
Swim 50 meters
25 Push-ups

Mine (13:58):

1 round of -

Swim 50m

Pushups x 25

4 rounds of -

Swim 25m

Pushups x 25

First off, I suck at swimming laps; my form's horrible, my shoulder's suck, and my asthma's a butt. However, I attempted to persevere; and realized that when I could barely finish that first 50m, I was doomed from the start. Therefore, I dropped it down to 25m, which I could barely complete on the last round. On top of all that, it was a family pool, where every parent and kid was staring at me; and every lifeguard was trying to determine whether they needed to run for the AED, as I lay on the matted surface next to the pool hoping for intervention. Good times. I'll have to integrate swimming in more often.

WOD - Double Unders, Snatch (Friday, 27 MAY 11)

Seven rounds of:
35 Double-unders
1 Snatch

Mine (15:38):

Seven rounds of -

Jump rope singles x 100*

#75 snatch x 1

*Last round I did 46 singles and 54 tuck jumps (couldn't finish with jump rope because my shoulders were shot)

So, I suck at jump roping, hence the awkward picture; therefore, I decided to work on that by doing singles, while also getting a good workout by upping the amount.

WOD - Weighted Pull ups (Monday, 23 MAY 11)

Weighted pull-ups 2-2-2-2-2-2-2 reps

Mine (@ 215 body weight):

5 - 7.5 - 10 - 12.5 - 15 - 17.5 - 20

Feel like a weakling that wets himself...what could I use to fix that?

WOD - Deadlifts, Push Press (Saturday, 21 MAY 11)

Complete as many rounds as possible in five minutes of:
275 pound Deadlift, 3 reps
115 pound Push press, 7 reps

Mine (4rds + 2 Deadlifts):

#225 Deadlift x 3

#95 Push Press x 7 (shoulders were tired from two days of shoulder-intensive workouts)

Also, I've started including beginner muscle-up exercises into my warm-up routine; hopefully within the next couple weeks, I'll get the movement down and be able to start knocking them out.
