NO pain NO gain.

Tonight was dreadful!!!! Burpees are horrible especially after doing thrusters! My arms are so SORE!!!! Ahhhhh!!!!

After tonight's workout, I couldn't move. 

First of all, Monday's workout killed me beyond belief. I knew I was going to be in some serious pain and sure enough, I was/am. Mom and I have been texting back and forth since yesterday about how sore we are. Our arms, shoulders, lats, and back were all used during Monday's workout and they are all beyond sore. It takes me 10 minutes to get dressed and it's so hard to even put deodorant on! I'm assuming the 50 pull-ups had a lot to do with it. 

On top of the crazy workout Monday, we did speed training yesterday for 40 minutes which was so tough because our arms hurt so much to move and we had to run and power walk (which of course requires arm movement).

I just keep telling myself the same 4 words..."No pain, no gain!"

Tonight Workout:

7 rounds! Burpees and thrusters!!! Ahhh 

Before the actual workout, Ryan let us find our 1 rep max with cleans because we never did them before. We did power cleans and hang cleans but never a full clean for a 1 rep max. I struggled a bit with the movement, it's so tough.. But I got a 1 rep max of 75 and mom got a 1 rep max of 70! Awesome job on these considering we haven't done them before. 

Some pictures of us doing Cleans 

Starting position...

Receiving as low as you can

Going into the full squat

And standing back up.

The reason this is called a Clean is because the entire movement is in one clean motion. No pauses or stops, just lift the bar up onto the shoulders, into the squat, and back up. 

I think we could have did more if we weren't so sore from Monday, but it's all good, I'll take the 75. 

Here are the results of the workout:

Took me 15 minutes and 31 seconds using 45 pounds for thrusters 

Took mom 15 minutes and 33 seconds using 35 pounds for thrusters

This is incredible for my mom that we stand neck and neck with time. My Mom is a machine!!!!! 

This workout was dreadful! We wanted to quit but we stuck it out somehow (the assistance of God for sure!). The burpees are the death of me. They take every ounce of energy you have and beat it to the ground! 

Ok I'm beat! 

Oh and Here's pic of us at the gym yesterday on treadmills :)
