Rope Climbs, HSPU & Pistols

AMAZING workout tonight!!!! Bill kicked our butts! I am going to be in so much pain from this WOD.

First, I must add that yesterday and the entire weekend, I was sick as a dog... Coughing, stuffed up, sore throat, chills, and just terrible feeling.. This morning, after praying to God that I would feel better so I can go to work and then Crossfit (hehe), I woke up feeling 100x better! Praise God! I did not want to miss my Monday Crossfit session!!! Obsessed I know.

Although feeling better, I was still under the weather a little tonight but I still pushed myself and did the best I could do :) 

Tonight's warm-up:

I used the heaviest kettle bell for goblet squats and No joke, after the first round, I was winded.. That's how bad I felt at first. I told my mom maybe it was a bad idea for me to come... But.... I kept at it during the WOD. Thankful I did because I feel like a million bucks :)

WOD:

For the front squats, I used 100 as my max and mom used 75. I think they might have been higher but I couldn't find our latest record of them... These were pretty easy but still did a number on my legs... Which is awesome. Mom started off doubting herself but then got better as the weight increased (go figure) lol. 

Some pictures of us doing front squats. 

Our new reebok lifters are amazing and really help out when lifting! I RECCOMEND THESE 100% !! I could easily add 20-30 pounds on these front squats (maybe not easily but you know what I mean). 

During the 10min AMRAP, I kicked my butt! I climbed the rope 5 times! New record for me! Last time the rope was in an AMRAP, I could only do it 2 times and last workout with the rope, I was so beat, I couldn't even get one rope climb! Go me!

I did handstand push-ups with the box but I know I can do them on the wall, I just need Bill to help out with the technique. I did pistols in the workout which slowed me down a bit but I didn't want to cheat myself and do regular air squats. I wanted to really get the best out of the workout that I could. And let's just say, that those pistols are going to really screw me in a couple days because I won't be able to sit. Total glute workout! 

Mom did an awesome job, she mastered the rope in the past but for some reason, couldn't get her foot technique down; therefore, she did the alternative workout which is grabbing the rope, flat on your back, and pulling your body completely off the floor with just your arms and then back down (I think this is harder actually lol). She did arm release push-ups and air squats. She almost doubled my rounds tonight! Go momma!!

Tonight's results:

Mom snapped this of me after the workout... Too funny. I am totally checked out at this point! Hah 

Hot dinner, hot shower, warm bed. All calling my name tonight!
