I didn't have access to a good pull-up station so I did ring pull-ups instead. Did better than I thought actually, I remember doing 13 rounds with regular kipping pull-ups way back when and here I am doing that number with ring pulls.

Well I had 3 days where I missed a workout, which has to be the longest stretch I've gone since at least April when I was in Melbourne or else in June when I got to Sydney and my knee felt like it was going to die. I feel like I've got a bit of a spare tire coming along from all the food that I've been eating and I know I'm going to have to back away from the table a bit as I'm not training like I was in Sydney and am not going to need to eat that much food as I had there. I'm rather disgusted at how my body will seem to absorb and hold any bit of starch that I take in. I'm going to have to do my best to skip the rice and noodles whenever possible, keep away from the nuts, avoid the really interesting Thai junk food that seems to be everywhere and stick to the amazingly strange and oh so good fruits, meats that come in stick or banana leaf form and the great little bags of curry. But I'm sure when I'm back home in a gym it'll all come back and I'll meet and exceed my previous bests and work off anything that I "gained" here.

Srinakarin Fitness Park, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Complete in twenty minutes as many rounds as you can of:

25 Squats

10 Strict pull-ups

10 Ring dips

Total Rounds 6 + 25 squats & 10 pull-ups

Found this cool fitness park here in Chiang Mai so I went and did this WOD in it. Had a lot of smiles from all the locals that were there working out. I again chewed the hell out of my arms from the nylon bands on my rings and also really chafed my arm pits from the dips. I made some modifications on the rings though so hopefully it won’t happen anymore.

Jack Knives 10/8/6/6

JumpStretch Log Press 2/2/3/2/2 – They had this cool log press exercise which was basically a log with handles that swiveled on a hinge on the far side. I threw the jump stretch band on for more resistance.

Band Twists 4x12 each side

Glute Ham Sit-ups 3x10 – They also had a great setup for these on a log.

Glute Ham Twists 3x5 each direction – Basically rotating twists on the GHS setup

100kg deadlifts

Handstand push-ups

Time 7:29

Wow, new PR on this one, don't know how that happened. Did the HSPU facing a mirror so I got to see how deep I was going. My arms were getting near to parallel with the ground for the first part of the sets but on the latter half of things got a bit ugly as per usual.

Turkish Get-ups w/passover 30lbs-6/35lbs-6/40lbs-2

These were done with a stand up and then a passover to my opposite hand and back down again, which I called on rep.

Push Press 40-3/45-3/50-3


11/18/06

Buddy's Gym, Koa San Road, Bangkok Thailand

Thrusters 40-3/40-2/50-2/50-2/60-f/50-5x3

Found a gym off of Koa San so I went in for a workout. Was suppose to be 3-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1 but they only had 5kg plates, no squat rack so jumping from 50-60 was too much especially without a rack so I did 5 sets of 3 for 50kg.

BP 50-5x5/60-3

Cleans 50-5x3

DB snatches 30lbs-3/35lbs-3/40lbs-3

Ton Sai Beach, Thailand
Morning climb on Thaiwand Wall
The Slugger Prince 6b
Monkey Love 6b
L-sit and bridge work
Second day climbing and wow wee, what great fun. There were moments on the rock where I was like, "What am I doing up here? This is insane. I'm stuck and can't go anywhere" but man, once you get past that sticking point and hit the top the rush is amazing. I took a bounce of the rocks today at one point but was alright. It was a spot that I should have rushed through but instead I stopped for a breather and couldn't get past it afterwards and had to swing off the rock.

10 Ring Pull-ups
25 Squats
Time 10:58
This WOD was suppose to be with 15 pull-ups but I did them deadhang off of my rings, which were hanging off a rope ladder so there was plenty of sway.
Went climbing for the first time today and what a rush it was. I think I'm hooked after just that one day and after hearing so many people say how strong you get from climbing I am now in full agreeance with them. I think the toughest run I did was a 6a+ and didn't fall off the rock face once and Mike told me I did amazing for my first time outdoors and only having like 6 times indoors. Crossfit, baby Crossfit.
