Crossfit Life: 100 Thrusters! :0

Tonight was dreadful! The warm up, the pre-workout (which was a regular workout in itself) and the WOD were insane! Bill must not want us to come back! Haha

Again, me and my momma were the only ones at the 6:30 class. Love this ;) because Bill really gets on us and helps us out with our form. He really is an awesome trainer and person in general. Crossfit is his life even though he has a family and his main job, he still puts so much time and dedication into this place and his clients, it's so incredible! Thanks so much Bill!!! What you do is never unnoticed!

Anyway, tonight's warm up wasn't too bad...

Warm-Up

Row 500 meters

-Then-

20 good mornings with bar

40 box step ups (20 each leg)

20 pull-ups

The only part that we struggled on was those pull-ups because Wednesday's workout killed us with those chest to bar pull-ups and we were still recovering from them. Even though in pain, mom and I both used the green band!!! Whoo-hoooo! After the warm-up, Bill decided to give us some deadlifts and the dreaded burpees :*0

Pre-workout

On the minute every minute for 10 minutes

2 deadlifts at 70% max

5 burpees

I used 115 pounds and mom used 105! Awesome job!

After the 5th minute, those deadlifts started to get really heavy and hard to lift. We just pushed through and after 10 minutes, had to catch our breaths because we didn't even get to the WOD yet... (Killing us Bill!)

Pictures of deadlifts and burpees! We were laughing during burpees because mom clapped every time she finished one lol I was dying! Haha

Deadlifts: Me 115lbs, Mom 105lbs

Burpees

Man we really get some air on those burpees :)

The WOD was so painful and when I tell you that for the first time in a long time I thought I wasn't going to finish before I even hit the halfway point. The reason is because the WOD was...

100 THRUSTERS for time

Eeeeeeeek!!!! Shreeeeeek! Shaking!!! Nail biting WOD!

Doing 100 of anything is difficult, but by making it thrusters, Bill was just basically inferring that he wanted our arms to fall off. He sure knows how to push us past our limits!

After 10 thrusters, we were saying that there is no way we are going to be able to do 100. But we kept pushing. After 25, we were sweating and still claiming that 100 is impossible. By 40, I almost gave up. We started chipping away 5 at a time, over and over again. My arms were jello and my back was dripping sweat. Bill in the background saying let's go!!! Chip away!!! My mom was 5 behind me the entire way and Bill kept yelling, "Let's go Cindy! Catch her and beat her!" But I wasn't having that! Every time she picked up the bar, so did I! Tough competition we give, that's for sure. Around 80, I stopped thinking about the pain and just focused on drinking water when I was done.

I just kept doing 5, dropping the bar, stretching my wrists, and then reloading. Over and over again. So painful!

By the end, we crashed and definitely celebrated! This is such a mental game, pushing past your limits and crushing goals!!!! So insanely proud of us!

I used 45 pounds and mom used 40 for these. It's funny how 45 felt like I was picking up a piece of paper at first and by the end, 45 pounds felt like 200.
