The Moose is Back with a new WOD “Moose Breathe”

Written by "> | posted in Crossfit: My love/hate relationship | 0 Comments

Well its been way too long since my last post and I truly apologize.  I could give you a handful of excuses but I’m not one to externalize and well, I don’t think anyone would really care. (insert sound bite of world’s smallest violin here ;-)

So after about 2 months of doing sporadic workouts, the occasional Grouse Grind and a few hot yoga sessions, I’m back to doing some Crossfit WOD variations.  I say variations as my back went out again about 3 weeks ago and I lost a whack of momentum because of it (oops, there goes that externalization thing again… sorry).  So tonight I just created my own variation of a Crossfit classic.  I dub it “Moose Breathe”

Warm-up:

5,000 m row on the Concept 2 rower  (my time was 19:30 – almost 2 minutes of my personal best… ouch!)

“Moose Breathe” Work out

3 Rounds of the following;

• 1 minute of 135lbs Dead-lifts,
• 1 minute of push-ups;
• 1 minute of ab mat sit-ups;
• 1 minute of double-unders;
• 1 minute rest.

Scoring the workout is simple.  Each rep = 1 point.

My results:

• Dead-lifts = 21/22/22
• Push-ups = 31/30/30
• Sit-ups = 39/41/40
• Double-unders = 30/42/40

Total points scored was 388!

I thought I could break 400, but clearly a couple months off does wonders to the endurance… ahhh, sorry I did it again.

Will blog tomorrow after working out with Jamie and Michelle Fiddler at Crossfit Renegade‘s grand opening event.  Read more about it here.
