Love-Hate Relationship.

Tonight was one of those nights where I realized that CrossFit is seriously a love, hate relationship sometimes. We did Power Snatches tonight--and for the life of me-- I could not get them right. I get so frustrated when I fail at things! I almost want to say... "Okay, let's go do Zumba or something, forget this!!" I know that some of these Olympic lifting moves take time to master, but I am one of those people that just wants to do it the right way and right away! It's just in my nature to be the best at something, the competitive side of me that I've had since I was born lol. Anyway, I know with time I will be better so I just have to keep my head up. Also, I keep reading everywhere that "Failing only creates a stronger, better you because you won't stop until you get it right." I guess I'll follow this advice.... 

So, tonight... I couldn't get the power snatch and overhead squat with the weight I knew I could. My max ended up being 65, which isn't terrible but I know it could be better. Mom got 55 and did such an awesome job with her form! I was starting to get jealous! ;) 

Every other attempt at the power snatch, I was dropping the bar, screwing up my squat stance, falling down, flipping out, and getting so annoyed. 

Fail. Didn't snatch right...

Fail.. Dropped the bar

Fail.. Fell back on the squat 

Smiling, yes, but so aggravated. 

Here's mom doing amazing.. 

Notice. No fail. No drops. No falls. Nice job mom! 

Tonight's Warm-up and WOD:

Warm up was good.. Box jumps were tough because Bill was really trying to get us to use our hips in the jump which isn't easy.. 

I used 45 pounds in the workout and mom used 35 for the power snatches. Wall ball shots, we used 10 pounds. Crazy because 10 pounds felt like nothing and we used to think 8 was heavy! The workout went by so fast, 7 minutes... Tough workout but doable compared to others in the past. 

Results:

Not bad, 4 rounds even for me and mom f4 rounds plus 6 snatches ;) nice job tonight everyone! I'm so sore, I can barely move. Wednesday night killed me with those deficit push-ups, which is why I think tonight was so hard on me. Looking foward to a resting weekend!
