Before I went in, I overlooked the part that was actually the hardest, haha. We started out with 40 back squats for time, at body weight. Well, I can’t do that… I can back squat what I weigh, but not 40 times! I dropped the weight down to 135lbs, which I knew would be doable…
DetailsOur warm up today was the damn ladder.. those things… after running the day before, my calves had had enough, but then we did several sets of ladder drills on two separate ladders, and well, you’re really on your toes for the most part, so that kinda sucked. Ah well, it’s a damn good workout.…
DetailsI suppose my Strongman Cert would account for Crossfit Day 159 but whatever. I’ll leave it how it is. I really really really didn’t want to go today.. I told myself all day long that I didn’t want to go, I wasn’t going to go, I wouldn’t go. It wasn’t happening. I went. I talked…
DetailsI had no idea who this guy was.. Rob Orlando. Just sounds like a badass name. But anyway, even as he was talking, I had no idea who he was. It wasn’t until he started talking about competing in the games, and his workouts and his history with Crossfit and his company did I think,…
DetailsSo I signed up for my next competition, Wodapalooza, which takes place on my birthday weekend in January down in Miami. I’m really excited about this, because it’s supposed to be huge AND it’ll commemorate my one year anniversary of starting CrossFit. In anticipation of lots of burpees, I decided to get serious on my…
DetailsPRed my push press at 155lbs. Hadn’t tried to find a 1 rep max before, so I was pretty happy with this number. Our WOD was the following: 50-40-30-20-10Wallballssitupsdouble unders (or x3 singles) I stopped the situps when I got to the 30 reps set, because I didn’t feel like rubbing all the skin off…
DetailsSo our Crossfit box hosted a pub run, and we decided to call it the Pub Run for Puppies, where all proceeds would go to a local animal shelter. Because I helped design and complete the t-shirts for the event, I know we ended up making 85 t-shirts total. Some were extras, so I’m estimating…
DetailsHang cleans! Love me some hang cleans. I’m good at them. Clean and jerk, too! If I can clean it, I can jerk it. 😀 Today’s WOD was the following: 1000m Row15 Hang Cleans 135/9515 Clean and Jerk 135/9530 T2B I ended up doing 75lbs for the WOD, which worked out great! I also ended…
DetailsSo we had to dress up for the Halloween WOD or we got publicly ridiculed by the rest of the class.. I chose to be a Viking Fairy. I have the braids for a viking, but I really wanted to wear butterfly/fairy wings and knee high socks. Makes perfect sense! Our WOD was hard (endurance-wise)..…
DetailsFront Squat Periodization! I haven’t improved on these.. I’m better at 1RM than I am at higher reps and higher weights. I’m okay with that, but I feel like a failure when I can’t lift my 1RM or close to it after doing so many reps leading up to it. Oh well.. WOD was the…
