AMRAP in 14 minutes

We started tonight's workout with the clean complex. Our goal was to find our max doing 3 motions without putting the bar down.. 2 hang pulls, 1 hang clean, and a front squat. 

It was a great strength workout! I was able to do 100 pounds and mom did 60! Great full body workout.

After spending about 30 minutes on the clean complex, it was time for the workout. Again, sore as anything, this was not easy! 

We did As Many Rounds As Possible in 14 minutes..

3 hang power cleans 

6 burpees

9 box jumps 

I used 65 for the power cleans and mom used 55 .. This was a tough workout but a good one! Heart rates were up and we were sweating like crazy. 

Results: 

I finished 8 rounds and 4 additional reps!

Mom finished 8 rounds even! 

Such a great job tonight, especially since we've been in some serious muscle pain! 

Time to relax and watch big brother!

10 Rounds of Pain

Tonight had a simple concept.. Pain! We are killing from Monday's workout! I mean literally in so much agony! Almost like day 1 of Crossfit all over again....

You know...falling onto the toilet instead of sitting because your legs are in too much pain to get down on the seat slowly, taking 10 minutes to go up the steps, walking with a limp while every step enables one eye to shut and your teeth to clench together while letting out painful grunts...basically anything that requires any kind of mobility causes a substantial amount of pain. 

So, combine that kind of pain with tonight's workout, and guess what you get? You got it, more pain!!! 

Tonight's workout was the following; 

Just to clarify, that's 150 double unders or 450 singles, 100 pull-ups, and 50 thrusters on each arm. 

Then, what the heck, let's carry another 70 pounds and walk for 2 minutes. 

This workout took me forever! I did doubles the whole way so I'm proud about that but they really slow me down. Once I lose the rhythm, I lose it all... I used 18lbs for thrusters and so did mom. My pull-up bands were all over the place, I started with skinny red, then went to green, then added the red to the green (the pull-ups got way too hard as I went on and I had to keep adding assistance). Mom used the green the entire time, she did great!!!! Thrusters were so hard because my legs were burning from Monday. 

I can tell you one thing, by the end of this workout, my legs were the least of my troubles and same with mom. Arms were on fire and body was spent!!!! 

Results of the workout:

First is time it took for all 10 rounds then how many meters for farmers carry. Mom did 600 and I did 400. She kicked my butt tonight!!!! So proud! 

So exhausted!

Night.

1 Month Hooky

Tonight was the first night back (in a month) to Crossfit after my wedding and honeymoon (it went by way too fast!).. 

I was itching for Crossfit the entire time off, so much so, that I actually did push ups on random rocks while hiking on my honeymoon (crazy, I know).. 

Anyway, first night back.. Well, my face tells it all. 

Warmed up with 200m sprint

Then 2 rounds of bear crawls, Spider-man lunges and 15 goblet squats using 26lbs...

Established 1 rep maxes with back squats tonight. Mine is 145 already and tonight I could only hit 125, really mad but it's understood. Mom found her 1 rep max which was 115! Incredible job! 

Here's the workout 

A lot of lunges and a lot of sit ups. For the first time, in a long time, my legs and abs really cramped up, like REALLY cramped up! My entire abs were one big cramp and my hamstrings and quads were cramping and so sore. I mean we did just jump into an intense workout after a month off (well, me anyway) so that is most definetly the case. It's going to be a sore yet very satisfying week. 

I missed Crossfit so much, I love it. 

Results:

Every one kicked but tonight! Nice job!

Also, on a side note., I ate so bad on my honeymoon, so it's time to start a 2 week challenge, (thanks to my moms suggestion) 2 weeks to lose 10 lbs. it's on!! And it started today. Came home and had chicken with wild rise along with my kale/mango/banana (need my fruits-I just love them) and protein magic bullet smoothie! I really need to kick my health into gear. 

Okay, time for bed.
