Crossfit/Westside Hybrid

As I'm closing in on the competition. I have decided to adapt
a more hybrid approach. So 2 days a week I'll do crossfit workouts
and 2 days a week I'll do a one Maximum Effort and Dynamic Effort day.

So today I did:

Bench Press:
50kg x 3
12 Pull-ups
60kg x 1
64kg x 1
12 Pull-ups
68kg x 1
70kg x 1 Fail

Crossfit Workout # 4

Max possible rounds in 15 mins:

[Squat Hang Clean w/ 40kg x 12
Ring dips x 15]

NOTES:
-Recorded the time, but - in retrospect- forgot tot record it in my log.
-Squat cleans for high reps and relatively low weight helped my squat clean
technique a lot. Feel like I could do some 1RM full cleans soon.

Crossfit Workout # 3

3 rounds of:

[18" Box jumps x 25
5 muscle ups]


NOTES:
-Didn't time it. Should have.
-Box jumps were broken into sets of 10 at first, then sets of 5.
Used the bench as a box.

Crossfit Workout # 1

5 rounds for time of :
Deadlift 185 pounds 15 reps / 10 Handstand push-ups

Did 3 rounds, used 70kg. Did Elevated pushups instead of HSPU's

NOTES:
-Time: 11:37
-Pretty tired. Will need some time to adjust to this regime.
-Decided to start Crossfit to elicit the 'broad adaptational response'
as I have 6 weeks left prior to the competition in April. I will be tired
a lot, but will make sure to create a buffer to allow my body some super compensation
after this effort and thus be 'ready' when competition time rolls around.
