I’ve been doing this workout in variation 3 times now over the past 2 months. My last time was 12:43. This time I got 12:18 — a little bit faster but I was completely out of gas by the 2nd round. I skipped breakfast and did this WOD right in the middle of the day -- I'm thinking the empty stomach, and 80 degree weather might have been the problem! Trying to get under 10 minutes on this at some point. Until next time…
2 Rounds For Time (my time was 12:18):
1st round - 20 kettlebell swings (35lbs), 40ft dumbbell lunges (35lbs), 20 box jumps at 24”, 20 clean and jerks (135lbs).
2nd round - 10 kettlebell swings (50lbs), 40ft dumbbell lunges (50lbs), 10 box jumps at 24”, 10 clean and jerks (150lbs).

I love video editing and I enjoy working out daily, so occasionally I put together videos of my workouts on Instagram @RaymondRoman. Creating these quick 15 second videos for Instagram is fun, and also a good way to look back at progress I make overtime. Checkout some of the recent videos below!
Last weekend I shot some photos of my younger brother and his friends before they went off to their Homecoming dance. Here's a quick photomontage I put together for him.
Vernon Rodriguez challenged me to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Challenge accepted! I challenge Brent Canning, Annie Sites, and David Kano.
It's all about Fuel For Fire for pre/post workout fuel! Enjoyed this sample from the 2014 CrossFit Games so much I decided to make a video about it!
Awesome finish tonight for Rich Froning at the 2014 CrossFit Games! Rich has climbed the leaderboard and back in 1st place going into the final day tomorrow.
This video doesn't do justice to how great of an event this was. I wish I could share the feeling and intensity of the crowd with you but I've got to get to bed and wake up in 2 hours to drive back up for the final day!
Here's a quick video edit of my workout last night working on split jerks.
Undefeated Olympic Gold Medalist Pro-Boxer Andre Ward gives his thoughts on training with the Diaz brothers, and more.
Well that was quick -- recently I was having issues with my computer so I thought I was going to be prevented from editing videos but I got everything fixed rather quickly! The issue was with my hard drive, luckily I didn't lose anything but it was a bit of a headache getting things working again. I was unable to startup my computer so I went to the Apple store to discover what the problem was. Luckily I was able to save my media from my drive by connecting my iMac to another iMac which makes my drive show up on the desktop like an external drive would. At this point I was able to plug in an external drive (which I had to go out and buy) and copy my files over. I was able to transfer my media overnight, took my computer back to the Apple store the next day and I had my computer back the following day. Again -- I ran into another problem! I was unable to install Final Cut Pro from my discs. I had to take back the iMac to the Apple store and discovered there was a problem with my optical drive. Unfortunately my Apple care had ran out and the best option for me was to buy an external disc drive. At this point I was feeling hopeful that I would be editing soon but I ran into one last problem. Apparently the Apple USB SuperDrive's are meant for MacBook Pro's. Thankfully the internet has the answer to many questions and I was able to make it work for my iMac.
Now I can begin editing again! I put together a quick video after fathers day for my Instagram account.
Yesterday was officially the 'first day of summer' (June 21). Here's another short video I put together for my Instagram account enjoying the summer sun -- I actually dislike being in the sun but once you're done working out it's all worth it.
I enjoy putting these videos together to showcase on Instagram. I think it's good practice for video editing and also I enjoy it because sometimes I wish I could make full on music videos to some of my favorite songs.
A little over 2 weeks ago I began working on this video submission to be sent to The Voice. Here's the video I shot and edited, enjoy!
