so, i did this after a 35+ minute tabata circuit, and did a chest workout in the morning.  i’m not happy at ALL with this.  the push presses were really hard for me.  i’m going to try again.  i’m shooting for 5 rounds next time.  hopefully i can get there!  i will do it on a day where that’s my first workout or only workout.

i also found out that my body fat % is NOT where i thought it was.  it’s depressing, but what can you do?  not dwell on it, and just work harder.

did pretty good on this, except for the last round, the box jumps and thrusters.  i feel like i did pretty good.  i’m working on kipping pullups now, i’m almost there!  been using the blue band, and i think within the next two weeks at most, i’ll be doing them without the band!  yayyyyy!

i like it!

gonna hit the crossfit gym tonight too.  this will be an intense 30 days!  i feel good about it.

sooo sore!

went to the gym with josh this morning and just rolled my body out.  it hurt so bad, i almost started crying.  =[ 

only 2 workouts today!

WhipCON:

4 Rounds
1 min each for max reps

Wall Ball Push Press (wallball to 11 feet without the full squat) - 10lb ball
Ball Slams - 14lb ball
Box Jump - 20in
Sumo Deadlift High Pull with Kettlebell - 35lbs
Air Dyne
Rest

this was really brutal for me.  all i could think about was getting through it.  

Then the WOD;

Five rounds for time of:
155 pound Deadlift, 12 reps
155 pound Hang power clean, 9 reps
155 pound Push jerk, 6 reps

the Rx for women was 105, but I did 55lbs.  I was exhausted and wanted to focus more on form.  The hang power cleans were definitely the worst.  

My time was 15:05.  

I was thinking about entering for the games, but i don’t think I will.  I think I’ll get too discouraged because I probably won’t be able to do the prescribed weight.  I need to just focus on my Transformation.


whipcon and ANGIE!

okay, Whipcon warmup;

2 rounds; 2 people row 200M while everyone else rotates;

squats, stretching, situps.

8 rounds;

10 burpess

15 jumping lunges

60 single unders

5x5yards shuffle.

I did it in i think 24;30 minutes.

i really felt like i was going to throw up after that, and didn’t know if i could do the WOD. BUT I did it!

We did a lap around the block, and some stretching, then ANGIE!

100 pullups - i used the band.

100 pushups

100 situps

100 squats, past parallel.

my time was 23:10.

I feel really awesome about this, because there were about 10 people, all dudes, except for one girl but she had a broken foot.  and i finished 4th, and about 10+ minutes before the rest of the guys.  especially with a ripped callous, AND after Whip!

YESSSS, i’m getting stronger!  LOVE it.

todays workout.

Warmup; 

3 rounds 

-500M row

-20 Air Squats

-10 Pushups

Workout;

21 15 9

-Deadlift - I did 95lbs.  

-Handstand into pushups.

Time; 15;32

I wasn’t really going that fast, obviously.  It’s harder to do it at 24 hour, with the weights they have.  But whatever, I feel good about it.

Then I decided to see what I could 2 Rep max out at on the Seated Cable Row.  Got up to 115lbs!  I’m feeling good about that, my last max rep was at 100.

Then I swam half a mile and sat in the hot tub for 20 minutes.  

Overall, I’d say that I had a great workout!

workouts today.

okay, so i went to the gym with josh and did some bench presses, i maxed out at 95lbs.  my shoulders were killing me from the snatches last night.  then I did some front squats, a few sets at 65lbs.  then a few snatches with the bar.  it was kind of weird doing it at 24hour.  thennnnnn i did some handstand holds, and then rolled out my back.

Then did Whipcon and it definitely kicked my ass;

I kind of forget what the warmup was.  it included 20 burpees, 20 kettlebell swings and partner planks.

then the KILLER.

4 Rounds:

Run 530m
30 Wall Balls - I did 3 rounds with 16lbs.
20 Box Jumps (24/20) - I did the 20in.
10 1 arm kettlebell swing to eye level (switch arms each round) - I did 26lbs.

My time was 34 or 35:23.  I felt like I was DYING!!  the running and box jumps were killer for sure.  Well pretty much everything was.  

THEN I stretched out a bit and then did a Mini WOD with Kat and one of the coaches, Stacy.  We did a 10minute AMRAP.  

-250M row

-20 situps

-15 kettlebell swings - i stupidly did 35lbs.  it was very hard. but i made it through.

-10 pushups.  

We did 3 rounds, went past the 10 minutes but decided to just complete the last round.  

Now, I’m gonna take a LONG hot shower.

running. BLEK!

Did HIIT running 30/30 today for 15 minutes.  My side was killing me pretty much the whole time.  I started sprinting at first, but then it dwindled down to a jog, due to my side.  I gotta look this up and see what’s wrong and what I can do.  But I feel good about running upon waking.  Gonna go to the gym in a bit and work on the new workout program, then Whip and Crossfit tonight.

YAYYYY!
