This week my energy was hit or miss after my second week of running my butt off at work. Monday another coworker was gone, so I covered for her and Wednesday and Thursday another coworker was sick so I had to cover for him. All this after last week covering for my boss and seeing 81 patients.
Anyways, I went to the gym on wednesday will all intentions of doing Fran but I got there and every piece of equipment I wanted to use was being taken. I did some warm up stuff and got out of there. I did try to do some strict handstand pushups for the first time, but I couldn't get up. My upper body is very weak compared to my lower body. I wish I would have been more athletic as a kid and actually exercised or strength trained, that would have given me a base to work up from.
Yesterday, Kelsa and I did go do Fran. It looked like this:
21-15-9
65 lb thrusters
pullups
Time: 5:45
Previously I did that workout in 6:04 on 11/27/09 and 6:24 on 10/19/09.
Going into the workout I thought my previous time was 5:05 or something like that. When I got home and checked my time, I was pretty pumped! In comparison, some of the best CrossFitters can do Fran wih 95 lb thrusters in just over 2 minutes!
Today, the Prescribed WOD was the final events in the Crossfit games, which included things like wall climbs and burpees over walls, which we don't have. So I decided to do "Nasty Girls".
It looked like this:
3 rounds for time:
50 squats
10 jumping muscleups
10 x 95lb hang power cleans
Time: 9:56
Last time I did this workout on 6/14/09 I did it in 12:29!! What??!! I just beat my old time from a year ago by 2 1/2 minutes! That's crazy. Maybe I have been doing something right the past month? I have started to notice changes in the muscularity of my upperbody and a slimmer waist!
I'm super pumped for our CrossFit level 1 Trainer Certification in late August! I would love to do some crossfit training on the weekends at one of the local CF gyms. Hopefully someone is looking to add some sessions on the weekend.
