May 7 WOD: Plyo Wednesday

A. 4 square drills, Tabata style

2 sets of 8 different drills

B. Banded sprints x 10

C. Metcon

5 RFT (20 minute cap)

200m medicine ball run
15 wall balls (9/7 kg)
15 medicine ball burpees

I used a 5 kg ball for the metcon, and for the MB burpees, I did a burpee first before getting the ball and finishing with it overhead.


My score: 3 rounds + 150m run (5 kg)

Aug 2 WOD: 3RM Clean and jerk

Helen got her first pull up today! I think that August is going to be a great month!

A. SWOD

3RM clean and jerk (20 minutes)

B. Metcon

Every 3 minutes for 15 minutes:

200m medicine ball sprint (9/7 kg)

I was able to do 95 lbs, and since I still had 5 minutes left I decided to try 100. I did 1 rep. On the second rep, I was able to jerk it but I couldn't stabilize it so that was a no rep. For the MB "sprint" I used a 7 kg ball as prescribed. "Sprint" is in quotation marks because I didn't really sprint, though I did try to run as fast as my heavy legs would carry me and as much as the ball on my shoulder would allow.

My score: 95 (C&J)

May I share my dream for September's throwdown:

Behold this glorious display of abs
(I couldn't credit this amazing photo properly because
I just saw it floating around on Pinterest)

Wouldn't it be awesome if all the ladies walk onto the field looking like this??!
