Okay get ready because I am about to update you from the past week and a half!
Sorry I’ve been so behind but lots been going on in my life and I’ve just crashed when I get home and don’t update. Work is pretty slow today so I have time now to bring you all up to speed.
August 23rd – Monday
Fight Gone Bad: I hadn’t done fight gone bad since my very first CrossFit workout ever! Now I am proud to say that I didn’t feel like crap after, like I did the first time. But I wasn’t as happy with my improvement either. I got about 160 or so total for the three rounds. I am glad Fight Gone Bad 5 is coming up because my goal is 200. Ya, thats right 200, might be a little high but its worth a shot right???!!!
August 24th – Tuesday
Snatch Work & 50 GHD situps
Snatch was whatever, nothing special for the day, but the more I work at it the better I will get for sure. Feeling good from FGB the day before. I am not a big fan of GHD situps, I don’t like that I go back so far and I always feel like I am about to hurt myself. My back hurts the most out of everything after just 10-15 of them. It really bothered me after 50, I also get really dizzy and light headed. I try to breathe but I think its the whole upside down thing that sucks. Anyways, we didn’t have to do them for time and that was good, because I don’t think I could have done it any faster.
August 25th – Wednesday
C&J work & Tabata Kettlebell swings
Right now I’ve not been in the most positive mood and when I think of this day I think to myself “Man I’m not good at anything”. Kettlebells really stink for me, ever since that awful day of Helen where I broke down, cried like a little girl, and felt sorry for myself. I am trying to get better and the more I work with KBs the better and more comfortable I will get.
August 26th – Thursday
AMRAP 10 min
5 Thrusters
10 Burpees
20 DUs
Thrusters I think I did them at 45# (but it might have been more), I finished four rounds. Ya that doesn’t sound like a lot but you try doing this work out with my double under talent. You get so frustrated not being efficient when you are tired, not to mention it really stings when you get whipped by the rope. Thrusters were no problem, but any more weight and I would have also struggled with that. My burpees are no different than normal so, I am going to say that I was happy with this workout. I worked hard, I tried doing DUs the whole time but knew I wouldn’t have finished the last round if I hadn’t switched to singles the last round. And I wanted at least four rounds.
Friday & Weekend
Rest
August 30 – Monday
Push Press 5×3
5 rounds:
5 dynamic pushups
10 slam balls
15 box jumps
Even though im not very efficient at box jumps i liked this wod. The pushups weren’t “that” bad but I also wasn’t clapping, just getting my hands off the floor. I’m a big fan of slam balls because they seem easy enough for me. Box jumps make me so tired for some reason, like I can’t breath when Im jumping or something. I also can’t do them consistently jumping up and down like its not high. I always have to stop after I land and then jump. I am working on it but its a work in progress ya know?
August 31 – Tuesday
Snatch Balance
5×1
3 rounds:
10 OH squats
50 Double Unders (150 Singles)
I did 150 singles because I had a long day and I didn’t want to have one more thing frustrate me during the wod like double unders. This also gave me confidence because I kept up with everyone during the workout. The OH squats weren’t heavy (45#) but my wrist were hurting so bad both from the WOD and the snatch balance work.
Okay! So I am up to date. Sorry this entry is so depressing, after looking it over I see that I am so critical of myself, nothing is ever good enough. I will promise to start looking at things in a brighter light but I am too lazy to change this entry now. lol Thanks for reading!
