Bench Press Day! I didn’t get very far. I laughed during 145 and couldn’t push the weight up. Stupid. My 1RM is 145 or 150, so whatever. I stopped at 125 and was okay with that. 🙂 The WOD consisted of banded push ups, which suck. I did my first 13 or 14 with the…
WOO! I did this one. I went, I got excited after my CF Day 364 post and made it happen. It was awesome. We’re doing Hatch Cycle again, and as I’ve said a hundred times, I hate it. So I just do back squats. Anywhere from 5-8 reps at a moderate weight. I think we…
I wrote this two days ago.. but then didn’t post it. So here it is. I feel like a slacker, but then I look at how busy I’ve been, and how drained I’ve been, and then I wonder what’s missing. I’ll get moody, sad, grumpy, whatever, but.. honestly, it’s probably because I haven’t been working…
We worked on our max snatch, and I pulled 125 and left it at that. 125 is my PR. Or 130. I don’t remember. I think it’s 130 from Wodapalooza but I couldn’t find any info on it grrr… WOD: Amanda9-7-5Muscle Ups (3 ring rows/3 ring dips per MU)Squat Snatch (135/95) Now.. I know this…
Rope Climbs. I have this love/hate relationship with them, I love them because I can do them, I hate them because they hurt and they wear me out. They hurt my hands, they hurt the top of my right foot where I pinch the rope, and yeah. They’re exhausting. But damn it, I can do…
Like nothing happened, I went to Crossfit yesterday. I took it easy with the back squats, only going up to 105, and doing 10 reps or so. I did it a few times and worked with a buddy. The great part was, she’s new to heavier squatting, so I was able to help her with…
This shit is debilitating. I can’t even describe it. It’s worse to sit and lay down than anything else, too. So ‘resting’ is actually painful. It started the day we did the last HBBS 1RM and then it went away, and then it came back when I did the crazy cleans WOD and then I…
I got sick. It was gross. I will discuss it in my next post. Basically, took a week off because of it, and finally had the strength to get back into the gym. I felt SO good when I went back in, too! Amazing. Strength: Hatch Cycle W1:D2HBBS: 1×10 @ 60%, 1×8 @65%, 1×8 @70%,…
Ugh. One rep max clean and jerk. I say ugh because I was having a great day til this WOD came around. So.. My newest 1RM clean, squat clean rather, is 175. I was really hoping I could jerk 175, but it didn’t happen. So I went for a new clean PR of 180, and…
I’d like to start with the fact that… had I not BEEN ON THE COVER OF THIS DAY’S WOD, I probably would’ve cherry picked and gone to yoga or done nothing or cleaned my house or whatever instead. But no… Justin posted a picture of me with Guido Trinidad, the owner of Peak360 CrossFit in…
