monday single support deadlifts and three amigos

Matt Baldwin — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 03:45:31 +0000

I was in on Monday morning but the perennial left shoulder pain I’ve been experiencing was a limiting factor in both the Warm-Up (two reps of K2E and I was DONE) and in the WOD, and the strength portion was the dreaded single leg deadlift. Not my finest hour. Single Support Deadlifts and Ring Rows [...]

Back At CFA

Overhead Squat and Normandy D-Day

Matt Baldwin — Thu, 27 May 2010 04:45:21 +0000

Another solid strength day at CFA brought me a new 3 rep PR in overhead squat and a chance to “try out” one of the individual WODs from the upcoming CrossFit Games Southeast Regionals. And then, after that, I went and had minor outpatient surgery to remove a big-ole mole on my back. A lovely [...]

Turkish Jeremy

Matt Baldwin — Sat, 08 May 2010 03:00:58 +0000

6:07 on Jeremy (w/ 45# bar) and revisiting my 1 RM of 53 lbs on the Turkish Get Up. And the first day of a 30 hour fast.

A Little Jeremy

Two weeks out from major surgery on my leg, I do some ring dips and pull-ups, and then a modified "little Jeremy." The focus for me right now is on rehab, not aggressive progress in training. But I was feeling the aggression today anyway! Nice.

WOD Fail!

Matt Baldwin — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 04:55:12 +0000

I tried and failed to work out on Saturday. Briefly, this post explains why.

Shoulder Press and “Ellbell”

Matt Baldwin — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 14:33:03 +0000

New PR in shoulder press 1 rep max (125 lbs) and a wicked good 5 rounds of 30 kettlebell swings and 15 knees to elbows, in 12:45.

Push and Cindyesque

Matt Baldwin — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:01:01 +0000

Something like Cindy, and Push Press for Strength (new PR, 150 lbs).

The Staycation

Matt Baldwin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:44:59 +0000

Front squats, in which I got a new 3 rep max PR, followed by the WOD "Trip," involving 21-15-9 Power Cleans and Box Jumps, in which I stumbled slowly through.

Matt Baldwin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:43:08 +0000

First of my new program of Tuesday Strength Days. I set a new PR in Clean and Jerk at 140 lbs, and did work sets in Deadlift at 225 lbs.
