New gym! Insane workout!

Today was our first workout in the new gym!!!! Crossfit856 moved next door to a bigger building and it is awesome!!! We even have our own PR board and brand new chalkboards! So stoked! 

Today's workout was terribly difficult and body breaking! But well worth the burn!


Halting clean deadlifts were easy for me but mom is still getting the move down. I was able to lift 95 pounds with ease. Mom did 55 which is great for not having the form perfected. She keeps using her arms on the cleans more than her hips. She will get it eventually, I have faith! 

Here's me doing the halting clean DL

Anyway, today's workout was awful! Burpee pull-ups and 100 meter sprints! 

6 rounds of 12 burpee pull-ups is not fun nor easy! Mom was gonna throw in the towel until she swore she wasn't gonna quit in front of me! Hey, whatever motivates us! Burpee pull-ups are exactly what they sound like.... A burpee followed by a pull-up. So just for the record, that's 72 burpees and 72 pull-ups. Let's not forget the 100 meter sprint holding a 10 pound medicine ball. Thank God we could jump ourselves up for the pull-ups because if that didn't occur, I wouldn't of survived this one.

Results of this crazy workout! 

Took me 18 minutes and 34 seconds 
Mom 19 minutes and 30 seconds

Not too shabby! Good calorie and muscle builder at least. I felt strong after this workout today! 

Time for bed.
