Jul 1 WOD: Guilt workout

Maybe it's all in my head, but Monday WODs are so much more difficult. Probably because I usually eat faileo the whole weekend. This weekend I pigged out on way too much cake during the weekend and felt so heavy and lazy today that I briefly toyed with the idea of skipping the WOD.

A. SWOD

Power clean 12 x 2 (80% of 1RM)

B. Metcon

5 RFT

15 double unders (unbroken)
10 parallette push ups
5 strict pull ups

I used 95 lbs for the power cleans, and although I wanted to complain about re-bruising my collarbones -- I didn't want to sound like such a girl so I kept my mouth shut as much as possible. The metcon called for unbroken -- yes, unbroken -- DUs. It was at the 10th minute when I finally got my 15 unbroken DUs, and so I was able to finish 1 round. Pathetic! I virtually spent 10 minutes working on my DUs. I was so pissed that for the first time, I joined the other double WODers in the bootcamp.

Well, 0% would be an exaggeration.

Bootcamp WOD:

4 RFT

400m run
15 ring rows
15 overhead lunges
15 hollow rocks
15 medicine ball cleans

Rhona and I just considered the WOD as practice for the throwdown, since we know that there will inevitably be a running WOD there.

My scores: 95 lbs (power clean); 1 round (blue band pull ups); 29:41 (25 lb plate for OH lunges, 6 lb ball for MB cleans)

Aug 3 WOD: Squats and rocks + Wendler Day 3

Traffic was sooo bad going to the box, I thought I wouldn't be able to make it by 9 am -- but I did! It started raining and when I got out of the car it was so crazy windy I didn't bother to use my umbrella.

For strength, I did shoulder presses today. Weights are in pounds (duh!).

Warm up: 5 x 25

65% x 5 = 5 x 30
75% x 5 = 5 x 35
85% x 5+ = 8 x 40

Assistance: 7 x 20 hollow rocks (included in the WOD)

For the WOD, we did 7 rounds of:

- 7 overhead squats (Rx: 65)
- 20 hollow rocks

I used 35 lbs for the OHS. Even with that weight I felt wobbly at times, and I was afraid my shoulders would collapse and the bar would come crashing down on my head. Beads of sweat kept trickling down my face with every rep! Me and my irrational fears.

My time: 14:52.
