Thursday....my body is still feeling Wednesday...and Monday...

Today was a hard day mentally. I needed a good workout but my body is still sore from yesterdays MAX Deadlift and my body is tired from getting back at it this week.

This is what was picked for today's workout...

Another "Hopper Deck" Thursday and a new workout we havent done before. I really like this style of workout and think we will add more of this type in the coming weeks. The minute of rest is really crucial for being able to keep the intensity high on all rounds. It is that level of intensity that is the key to gains in your all round level of fitness. Go as hard as you can for that 3 minutes and leave it all out there!!

WOD

3 Burpees

6 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls 95 lbs / 65 lbs

9 Box Jumps

As many rounds as possible in 3 minutes.

Rest 1 minute.

3 Burpees

6 Thrusters 95 lbs / 65 lbs

9 Box Jumps

As many rounds as possible in 3 minutes.

Rest 1 minute.

Repeat 2 times

Well - THAT hurt. I did it with 55lbs. I can tell the two weeks off have put me back with my METCON workouts.

I managed the following rounds each set: 3, 2,2,1.2/3 (and 6 box jumps)

That was enough for me.

I had my shin looked at by Dr. Steve today and it is really sore. I thought about running the 8K tonight but between my leg being as sore as it is and my back muscles SCREAMING at me I felt it was best to just go listen to the talk today.

Maybe tomorrow I will take the day off or try a run or try crossfit or maybe both.

Let's hope tomorrow isn't as mentally taxing.

Nice...

Today's workout was tough and surviving the adventures of Mousse is even tougher. Who knew little chocolate labs love door frame trim? I'm glad I spent so much time last year painting all the wood trim white. I have to remember...this too shall pass. (or open a bottle of wine).

CrossFit was really tough and there was a LOT of sweat involved. I looked at the website earlier this afternoon and saw....MORE THRUSTERS. Holy cow - my legs are going to hate me...but yes - I did go.

WOD
Thrusters 95lbs/65lbs
Sumo Deadlift High Pull 95lbs/65lbs
Floor Wipers 95lbs/65lbs
Box Jumps (16")

Reps of 21-15-9-6

Rest for 1 minute every 4 minutes.

Time: 21:50

The required weight was 65lbs for women but I had 60lbs on the bar and for the SDHP I removed 5lbs and did it at 55lbs for the first two reps). I am having problems getting my SDHP and I have to work on that. I should be albe to do higher weights by now but can't at this time. Droping 5lbs for the 21 and 15 allowed me to work hard for the rest of the workout and still keep good form.

I wonder what squat version there will be tomorrow....I bet there has to be more squats this week!

Okay - I'm tired and I wonder how much Mousse will sleep tonight. maybe if I got him to do the workouts he'd sleep through the night....
