Double Unders. Nada.

Tonight's workout can be described in one word... "Perfect." It was the perfect combination of challenging but manageable, fierce but calm, and brief but tiresome. 

WOD:

We spent about 20 minutes on the power clean and push jerk. The last time I did this, my max weight was 55 and moms was 50. Tonight, I maxed at 100 pounds and mom maxed at 70 pounds!!! I think I could have lifted more but we ran out of time and my wrists were starting to kill me. Here's some pictures of me and mom doing the power clean and push jerk. These are tough but they feel awesome! Total body workout!

This post is going to be short and sweet since I am beyond exhausted and insanely sore from this week. During the workout, Mom and I used 45 pounds for the 5 clean and jerks. Instead of 30 double unders, we did 90 regular jumps. A double under is when you are jumping rope but passing the rope under your feet twice in one jump. It is so hard to do and you have to be super fast at jumping rope (which I am currently not) lol. Over time, I know I will get better at this. I was able to do a few double unders during the 90 regular jumps; however, there's no way I can so 30 in a row! I probably couldn't do 3 in a row at this point. 

Anyway, the workout kept our heart rates up and at the end of 5 rounds, I was drained! I couldn't even stand up! It's crazy that a 10 minute workout does this to you! 

Here are the results from tonight! 

All the results from all classes today... We are at the bottom. 100 stands for my max power clean and then I did 5 rounds plus an extra 3 clean and jerks in my 6th round of the WOD. 

Ok. Well, like I said... Short and sweet and now Time for bed.
