Cuban Soccer

While in Cuba I was able to play soccer with the staff from the resort and it was a good source of exercise to complement 7 days of eating like a pig and consuming several beers.

I met a guy that is studying physical education in a city called Santa Clara in Cuba. He was very interested in working out with me one day, so I went to the gym with him to do a conventional chest workout consisting of bench press and incline dumbbell press.

Cuba day 3

Today is the 3rd day working out in Cuba and it was a busy day in the fitness facility. I completed the following WOD while fighting for a little bit of space because it was very busy at the gym:

12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Overhead squat 125lbs
Elevated push-ups
Sit-ups


I did not time this just went at it with a good pace. The Workout started with handstand push-ups instead of elevated push-ups but was later changed because the Cuban Guy running the gym didn't like the looks of them and thought I was going to mess up his wall somehow.

Cuba Day 2

AMRAP 10 min:

5 wall walks
10 power snatches (24kg)
15 overhead walking lunge (33kg)

Cuba day 1

Every 2 min row for 2 min
While completing 3 rounds of:

15 squat cleans (15kg dumbells)
20 box jumps

15:39


I did the 2 min of rowing instead of a distance because the display was not working. The 2min row made this WOD tough it dragged on very long.

"grace" and snatches

Today was a good day for training, it wasn't one I was planning on because I have been feeling sick. I stayed home from the gym yesterday because of my cold but couldn't hold off today. I went in with the intention of just getting threw the WOD and I ended up with a PR. I took on "Grace" today and finished off with some snatch skill work that lead to a PR.

Then Worked on catching my Snatch in a squat because I seem to have a lot of problems landing in a squat. My squat PR was 195# and my Power snatch was 215#

Here is my New PR of 225#

AMRAP power cleans/ring dips

I was hurting today after the power hour at CrossFit Select yesterday. Today's WOD at CrossFit Oshawa was "Elisabeth" witch consists of full cleans and ring dips. My legs and lower back were fired up from yesterday's workout and I knew that "Elizabeth" would beat me down to much. I chose to still do do ring dips because they are a true goat of mine and something I need to work on.

AMRAP 10min:
5 power cleans 155
10 ring dips

Total-10+4 dips
