WOD

>> Monday, November 15, 2010

Man, I am really rocking these front squats. I did them again tonight and felt really strong, which is weird since I am sore from playing softball on Saturday.

Oh, yeah, I played softball on Saturday. There was a charity tournament and my work put a team together. I had a blast- it was insanely fun although we didn't win a single game. I played okay though and didn't make any terrible errors nor did I fall flat on my face while running the bases (a fear I had). So we're good!

I drank a lot on Saturday- more than this old lady is used to and as a result, spent all of Sunday in my pj's on the couch. My husband left at 9:30, came home around 1:30 and said to me, "Yup, you're still in the same spot..."

Yup, I totally was.

Anywho, back to the WOD-

3-3-3-3-3 reps of front squats. As you can kind of see by the picture to the right, I did:
75
80
95
110
120

Yay! 3-reps at 120# and trust me, it wasn't easy, but it wasn't like "oh my God I'm about to drop this" hard either. My 1-rep max from a while ago is only 125 so I'm pretty sure I've exceeded that. Next week I will do my 1-rep max and see how I do. I'm so excited!!! 

Then we did a team workout b/c we had 3 additional guys working out with us tonight.

AMRAP 12:
Person 1 does walking lunges down to the corner and back and he/she is essentially the "timer" and however fast this person moves determines how long each person is at their current station.
When the lunge person gets back from his lunges he yells "Switch" and we all rotate. The stations were:
Walking lunges
Double unders
Thrusters
Knees to elbows
Rest

Each of us started at a different station- it was a lot of fun and a tough workout for sure.

I'm still in my little "happy place"- feeling on top of things and content. After being so unproductive this weekend, however, I'm feeling like I have a lot to do before this next weekend. I desperately need to practice the piano and my sister and niece arrive on Monday for the week. My goal is to stay organized, use my lunch hours (I need to actually take a lunch hour first though), and chip away at my to-do lists during the day so I can continue to workout in the evenings.
