The proof of the sweat and blood :0> My sweat angel after Nancy! Gross!
Anyway, Here's the workout...
First time doing Nancy for me was 23:15
Nancy
5 rounds for time:
Run 400 meters
15 overhead squats (75 total)
The first time we did this workout, we only used a 15 pound bar for the overhead squats but tonight I used 35 pounds and Mom used 25 pounds!!! (which is great because that alone is progression)!!
The first 3 rounds weren't too bad but the 4th and 5th killed us, especially the run! Coming back from the run and going into overhead squats is so hard because you have no time to catch your breath and if you want to catch your breath, you lose valuable time in your workout.
My arms were killing me holding up 35 pounds. It's crazy because at first 35 pounds feels like absolutely nothing and after about 45 squats, it feels like 100 pounds is up there.
Anyway, we both got faster times then the first time doing Nancy!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!! Here are the old results followed by the new results:
And second attempt was 21:32
I was so tempted to use the empty bar (15lbs) so I could really compare my times, but I couldn't help myself.. 15 pounds would have done nothing for me in this workout.
First for mom was 21:45 and second time was 20:42.
All in all, it's cool seeing our progress! I'm so proud of us for sticking with Crossfit and really seeing the changes in endurance and strength that we have shown! It's pretty impressive!
I'm also so proud of our newest crossfitters, Amanda and Chavonne.. They really kick butt and give it their all! So awesome!
Just a side note, tonight we found our 1 rep max for overhead squats again. Last time we did this was in January.
My new PR is 85 pounds and Mom's is 55 pounds. (Last PR was 70 and Mom's was 50)! Again, PROGRESS! Love it!!
Here's some shots of us doing overhead squats tonight prior to Nancy...

Such a great workout tonight! Time for bed!
