My CrossFit Journal (week 43)

 

______________________________________________

Week 43 Day 1.

AMRAP 15
5 HSPU (handstand pushups — we did dive bombers instead)
4 Clean & Squat (135/95)
3 Split Jerks (135/95)

I felt like I cheated since I only used the 35lb bar and no weights added to it. It was my first day back after almost a three-week break. Way too long! I completed seven rounds in 15 minutes.

Week 43 Day 2.

3 Rounds for time:

21 pullups (I did kips with a 5lb assisted band)
21 ring dips
21 Thruster; 95/65lbs (I used 40lbs)

I did not even finish my workout this day. We had a full 25 minutes and I was on my third round of ring dips, finishing up at 15 or so, super close to the end but so far away. My arms were dead but I was desperate to finish! I suggest never taking a three-week break from CrossFit ever again, self!

I’m happy I made it to two classes this week. I’m starting to get back in it. I took a break to climb more, but now I want to balance it all and climb/crossfit all in the same week continuously. Being psychical is important to me.

My CrossFit Journal (week 35)

I was supposed to post this on Saturday, but I forgot. I went to CrossFit just once last week. I’m going more this week, promising myself that. I went yesterday after work and I’m going again tonight.

______________________________________________

Week 35 Day 1.

3 Rounds
10 Overhead Squats (135/95)  — I used 30lbs
50 Double Unders // or 150 skips

For now, I can’t lift any more than 30lbs over my head so I’m stuck at 30. I also find it impossible to do more than 1 double under skip in a row so I always go and do the 150. I ended up finishing the three rounds in 7:38. Not bad I don’t think!
