Pounding Heart!

It has been 10 days since our last Crossfit workout... Something I am not too happy about! However, 5 of those days I was sick on antibiotics and the other 5 I was moving into my new house :) so it was a much needed break. Plus, Mom pulled a leg muscle and her back was kind of hurting her so she needed the break too ;)

Going ten days with no Crossfit and then getting slammed with today's WOD.... Well, let's just say that my heart was literally beating out of my chest!

Warm-up

Row 500 meters

Then -3 rounds-

10 air squats

10 V-ups

10 Good Mornings

(Nice warm up, not too crazy, but perfect in getting that heart rate up and muscles warmed up)

WOD

When doing our back squats, we used our max weight to determine the weight to lift at different percentages. My last recorded max for back squats was 85 pounds and Mom's was 75 pounds. 

So with that being said, we had to do 10 squats at a weight 65% of our max, which for me would be 55lbs and mom would be about 50lbs. We just estimated between our weights and did these together. We then did 8 reps at about 60 lbs. the 6 reps at 65lbs, the 4 reps at 70lbs and the 2 reps at 75. 

After this power move, we started practicing our back squats from the dead lift position. When doing the power move, we lifted from the rack which is much easier. During the workout, I used 55lbs and mom used 35 lbs. This was not easy!

We had to do 21 reps, then 15 reps, then 9 reps of both back squats, and push ups. 

The second round (15 reps) was so hard and my legs were starting to give out during those back squats but I kept at it! Mom did an awesome job and flew threw this workout. 

Results

Mom 6 minutes and 50 seconds

Me 7 minutes and 50 seconds

By the end of this workout, I collapsed on the ground after my last push up and could feel my heart pounding throughout my entire body! Now that's a high intensity workout for you! I couldn't move for about 2 minutes... All I could do was inhale that Oxygen as fast and deep as I could until I caught my breath. 

Man, I missed you Crossfit! 

Just some pics from tonight...
