Worked on my cleans.. which apparently suck. My form has never been right on them, and I figured out why.. I always bring the bar out away from me. I always bounce it off my thighs and power it up. I’ve gotten better about NOT pulling, but I still bring it away from my body..…

So we did 31 Heroes on Saturday and it was brutal, as expected. My biggest fear was battling the rope climbs. Last year, I had JUST learned rope climbs, so I wasn’t really expected to do all of them. This year, I really have no excuse except weakness and extra weight. I didn’t want to…
With these new cycles, I feel like we’re just doing the same thing over and over, but we’re slowly increasing our weights, with the idea that at the end of the cycle, we’ll have a new 1RM. So yeah.. snatch day. again. Strength: Snatch (1×5 @60%, 1×5 @65%, 1×5 @70%, 1×5@75%) *Use 110% of your…

Mobility is important, kids! Here I am, freaking out a little that I have a mild, tiny case of rhabdo in my arms after the pull ups we did on Friday.. googling symptoms (not the dark pee, I didn’t have that!) and stressing over what to do, if it’ll clear up on its own, etc..…
Working on our Snatches! And I PRed, YEAH! 125! And I got a sweet video of me doing it too.. well, Russell got the video, but seriously! So exciting! I haven’t PRed my Snatch since Feb, when I got 120. Happy girl! Our WOD was a wrecker.. I’m STILL sore from it, and this is…
ANOTHER BRING A FRIEND DAY!!! Awessommmeee!! Today, one of my massage therapists took me up on my offer and actually came to Bring a Friend Day! I’m so used to people saying shit like oh yeah! I’ll definitely do that! And then.. oh hey yeah… I have to retile my roof that day, what a…
Bring a Friend Day!!!!! I made it to the 6:30p class, thank god for that! With our work schedule lately, the evening classes have been the ‘wrapping up’ of a busy day. They let me unwind and get all my anxiety and stress out. It’s the one hour where I’m not thinking about anything work-related,…
I hadn’t done Crossfit Total since about a year or so ago.. so I was excited for this sort of WOD! No running, no burpees, no pullups, no ring dips. Nothing I suck at.. this means I could do all of it! 😀 Crossfit Total IS. Back Squat – 3 Attempts to a 1RM Strict…
