  • 30 Minutes of WHAT NOW?! Workout

    AMRAP 30

    2 Body Over Bar
    4 Burpees
    6 Tire Over Bar
    Every 6 minutes, run 1 lap (320 meters)

    If you can't do the gymnastics reverse flip over the bar thingy, then body over bar is much harder and much longer. And I have an interesting relationship with body over bar. It's been a bumpy ride due to my fears. I did the whole grab the bar facing one of the poles, walk my feet up, swing my right leg over, hook my left foot on the pole and pull myself up thing. I'm only coordinated on that side, so a massive bruise is forming behind my right knee, on top of my left ankle and also on my inner left thigh. So pretty.

    For this WOD, I just told myself to keep going. The run was hard on me due to my breathing issues, but I pushed myself the whole time.

    10 rounds plus 1 body over bar

    Working out with the good people at CrossFit Indian Trail this week while getting the house in Matthews ready to sell. Really great group over there. I'm not used to jumping on the tire, so it was a little weird at first, but seemed a little easier on the calves at the end of the day.

    WOD
    10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Chest to bar pullups - 30in box jumps - GHD Situps

    Time: 11:58

    Notes: I taped my hands, which was a bad idea. After the first set the tape was all scrunched up and was in the way. Additionally, I sucked @ the GHD situps because my breathing was all over the place. I'm disappointed in my time, but you live and you learn!

    What Improved: My box jumps were awesome. That was my first time on the 30in box and I had no problems.

    What to Work On: Of all things, the GHD situps were the hardest because I couldn't get my breathing in control and was gasping for air like a fish out of water. I need to try to control my breathing on the situps.

  • Resistance Training: Banded Box Squats & Shoulder Presses Workout

    It's Thursday morning and that means 5 AM resistance and speed lifting work before the second WOD tonight at 5:30 PM.

    Resistance/Speed Lifting:
    Set 1:
    Box Squats
    Red Band, 1 Knot
    12x 2
    55% of 1RM
    145 lbs

    One of the bad things about the 5 AM lifting, when you know you're coming back in 12 hours to do the WOD, is seeing the day's WOD. All I'll say is that tonight is going to suck ass ... Fran with an evil addition to her.
