SLACKER! Nothing new, I know. I’ve been off and on the computer all week, and not once did I think about updating my blog. Mortifying. Here goes: Tuesday was bring a friend day. Exciting right? Usually Bring a Friend day is awesome! You get to meet new people, have them experience CrossFit and all the…
DetailsI skipped out on “Barbara” on Thursday, because we left for Miami that day. I totally could’ve done it, but I’m glad it’ll be for another time now. I signed up for my CrossFit Level 1 Cert class back in June, and the earliest one I could get was for Oct 6th-7th in Miami. Sooo,…
DetailsAnother great day… Wee!! Got to workout with Erin again! Our WOD was the following: 21-15-9 reps of:Deadlift 225/155Overhead squat 135/95 Because we worked on the snatch periodization earlier, it wore my shoulder out and it was starting to feel sore. Because of this, I opted just to do back squats at 65lbs instead of…
DetailsWHEW. I was so excited about this day, but so nervous too!! Whenever there are rope climbs, it’s going to be tough, just because they take such a toll on your body, and wear you out so quickly. Kind of like burpees, only 15-20 feet up in the air. 🙂 I was also excited because…
DetailsThis day was boring.. Sorry Russell! It was boring. It was also easy considering a normal CF workout. 🙂 Worked on front squat periodization, and then did clean and jerks for the WOD. I maxed out at 140lbs for my clean and jerk, which is my current 1RM.
DON’T EVER DO THIS! I learned my lesson today. Holy jesus. No deck of cards WOD.. don’t do it. Make an excuse for it, whatever, say you have to leave early, you’re going to jog instead, you have another WOD in mind, whatever. omg… hahahaha yeah. It was awful. Take a deck of cards. For…
DetailsToday was a mess of a workout. We started with a beach facing run around the block, and then moved on to Double Unders practice, and THEN went over the workout from Hell! We were in 5 groups of 6 or 7 people. Our group had 6 girls in it. Gina, Chrissi, Vanessa, Emily, Kim…
DetailsSNATCHES. Snatch Periodization, Snatches for time. Lots of snatches. We did 25 snatches in a periodization schedule, 5 @65% up to 5 @80% (increments of 5). My final weight for snatching was around 100lbs, and I did it! My 1RM for snatches is 115, so I worked off of 105% of my 1RM weight. Then…
DetailsI had kind of abandoned this, but I found a couple pictures that were a good angle that showed some of my progress. This stuff motivates me to keep going, especially when I’m not seeing changes elsewhere, this just reminds me of all the hard work I’ve put into this. Crazy difference from the beginning…
DetailsHero WODs are always tough, as they’re in memory of a fallen soldier.. I have to admit, I was a little wary of this one, because it was a 20 min AMRAP. Usually, we do 10, 12, or 15 min AMRAPs, but 20 min is uncommon. AND it was mostly upper body stuff which are…
