Box Squats.. squatting with the bar in a high bar spot, and then sitting down onto a box just below parallel. Fun!! My back squat PR is 245, and I ended up getting 215 on these. It felt like it was putting a lot of pressure on my knees when I stood back up, so…
DetailsClean and Jerk day!! I cleaned 150 (5 lbs under my PR) and it was actually pretty clean, I might add! Not too sloppy, but I wasn’t able to jerk it at 150lbs. 🙁 My Jerk PR is 140, so I was trying to get a higher number, but it just felt so heavy! I…
DetailsI WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT KALSU! Nobody ever says that.. ever.. BUT.. Kalsu was my VERY FIRST WOD at Crossfit Total Control, so this was a milestone for me! Roughly one year ago, when I first walked into CFTC, hoping it was going to be a good replacement for my first CF home, I was…
DetailsThe last 2 weeks have been a blur, and hectic, and insane. Dave and I have had to face some changes made at the office, which made for some scrambling around, not to mention, having to clean up messes that were left behind by others. Organizing, fixing, redoing, and reworking things to the way they…
DetailsSo it’s CrossFit tradition that you do Hero Murph on Memorial Day, and I was nervous at first, but then I embraced it. Running ain’t no thing! 😉 Well… I also decided to do 1/2 Murph again, so that I could compare my time to the miserable experience I had last year. Last year, running…
DetailsSaturday WOD.. Dodgeball! I had no idea we’d be playing dodge ball, but it was pretty cool! Spent about 15-20 min at it, and I got destroyed.. these stupid little foam balls, these guys could completely launch them with this crazy power! I can’t throw things that light with that kinda power. I’d throw my…
DetailsAlright, so since I got my 25 DUs in a row LAST Sunday (as in, 10 days ago or whatever, May 12th Sunday) I have had intermittent yet excruciating pain just on the inside of my shins where the bones meet my calf muscles. Diagram! See where my circle and X are? That’s where it…
DetailsI CHOSE to come to this one… brutal as it may sound. And I loved it. It was the CrossFit Regionals WOD #6, and we had to do the following: 30 min time cap (Thanks Russ) The original time was 15 min 100 DUs or 300 singles50 HSPUs40 T2B30 Shoulder to Overhead 100lbs for the…
DetailsFloor Press5-5-5-5-5-5 A floor press, I learned, is like a bench press but without the bench. I maxed out at 135, 20lbs under my max bench of 155lbs. 21-15-9Dynamic Push ups (I did these!!)C2B Pullups (green band)50 Du Each round (I did DUs the first two rounds, slowly, and horribly, because I was BEAT, and…
DetailsSo clearly I’ve gotten off the bandwagon of going to Crossfit every single day. I’m finding it difficult to get back into my Crossfit on a daily basis routine, only because I’ve been monumentally sore after each workout, which is, essentially, my own fault, because I’m NOT GOING AS FREQUENTLY. My own fault. This will…
