Back squats and Burpees. Death.

Today was a 6 stage of WOD grief day.... 


Saw the WOD and I kid you not..went through all 6 stages during today's workout...

My responses to the WOD tonight:
1. That's not bad, kind of looks easy
2. Maybe I can use less weight on presses
3. I don't want to do burpees again!!!
4. My arms :( I'm dead
5. I should have pushed harder on the last 5 rounds
6. What are we doing tomorrow Bill? 

Before the WOD even began, Bill gave us a tough warm up. Today was already a long day for me and I was so tired on my way to the box, but I tried hard to leave my stressful work day and everything else that ties me down at the door. The warm up was so hard because I felt so weak and tired... 


Took me about 10 minutes to finish.. Was out of breath and so sweaty already. The 20 pull ups were so hard for some reason, I think because Wednesday killed me!!! 

Anyway, the back squats were motivating today. The last time I did back squats, I maxed at 85 pounds and could only do one!!! Mom, same thing at 75 pounds...

TONIGHT, I maxed at 100lbs and did 3, not to mention.. We had to pause at the bottom of the squat for 3 full seconds. Mom maxed at 90 for all 3! So impressive for us!!! On my 3rd rep, it took everything I had to drive that up... I froze in that in between squat and stand up position. Bill was behind me saying "drive drive drive drive drive!" And sure enough, I got it!!! So accomplishing that's for sure! I feel so strong when I Crossfit, I absolutely LOVE it!!! 

Here's some pictures of the back squats tonight.. Wish I could show videos.. Check out my Instagram @crossfitlys if interested in vids :)

After back squats, it was time for The WOD... It was so hard tonight!! I wanted to stop and keel over so badly. Burpees are seriously the worst things on earth! The first 5 rounds were so hard...

We had to do 10 overhead presses (we used 45 pounds) then 10 burpees. Then, 9 overhead presses, then 9 burpees. Then 8 overhead presses, then 8 burpees. Then 7 overhead presses, then 7 burpees... You get the idea lol 

It wasn't until I got to the 4 and 4 that I really gave everything I had to get done before 15 minutes. I pushed myself to the limit! I wish I had pushed harder in the beginning but I didn't want to tire out too quickly. Lets just day that those first 5 rounds were so darn hard!!! I wanted to quit but I just kept pushing foward. Every time I finished the set of burpees, I just stared at the bar until Bill yelled, "let's go jump that bar up!!" Each time he said it, I jumped it up. Thanks Bill! You really motivate us. 

Burpees.... Death...



I wanna curl into a ball and sleep for ever right now! Goodnight bloggers. Nice job tonight crossfitters!
