We are on the home stretch for the zone challenge. Nine days left! I am very proud of you guys for sticking out the 30 days so far. It both inspires and pushes me to see your workouts and comments posted to the blog. Here at your/our garage gym we do/will/should push, motivate, and encourage one another so we can all become more fit both physically and mentally. Keep moving forward!
WOD:
10 rounds:
15 deadlifts (135,95)
15 pushups
Today's work out was awsome. The 15 reps 10 rounds was a killer. But I made it thru.
ReplyDeletesorry Awesome is miss spelled.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I thought yesterday's Push Presses were over the top but today's dead lifts were, well, hell. I knew I was in trouble when Shelly said that 95lbs would be easy until around the 7th round. Well, when round 1 started, I knew immediately I was in trouble. You can mentally get through a workout if you are close to the finish line but what do you do when you are in trouble right out of the gate? Well, I had to think this long and hard during the first round and my strategy at the start of round 2 was to take my time and just finish it at all costs. No way to sugar coat it, this was not going to be a good workout day. I think this it what Nike means by, "Just Do it". Should have worn that shirt today!
ReplyDeleteOn my 1 1/2 hr drive to work this morning, I had time to contemplate on the cause of my recent muscle impairment. It came to me, like no other epiphany has before, that I have not had my usual share of electrolytes i.e. WINE for the past few days. I can assure you that wine will be on the table for tonight's dinner!
I'm proud of you Kris...just wait until the next Crossfit Total comes up and your PR'ing by like 20#'s!! Way to push yourself out of your comfort zone :)
Delete10 rounds can be more of a mental challenge than anything. Way to gut it out! Don't medicate too heavily for 5:45 can come awfully quick.
DeleteAww shucks...!! I miseed another killer WOD!!
ReplyDeleteHad to modify mine to;
warm-up...
3 x 15
15 sit-ups
15 lunges
15 superman's
15 HRPU's
then
7 minutes butt kick AMRAP Burpees ( I did 57 ).
No time for "check-out" had to shower and get to work.
Nice work Robyn...way to get after the Burpees! See you nice and early tomorrow.
Delete7 minutes of burpees is pure torture. Especially by yourself in a hotel room. Great job Robyn! Keep up the good work.
DeleteAre you insane? 7 minutes of torture, who does that to themselves? Way to go, I'm impressed.
DeleteToday I was thinking I would do something light and easy.....ummm...so much for that. I did "Death by Back Squats" used 65#. One rep the first minute...two the second minute...three the third minute and so forth until unable to complete the reps in that minute. Got thru minute 14 + 10 squats. Holy smokes- not easy at all. It ended up totaling 115 squats. This just might show up in the next day or two! ;)
ReplyDeleteDeath by anything is never easy. Great job!
DeletePeyton say's "Good job Mom!"
DeleteAgain people who goes out of their way to torture themselves? You are truly my hero Shelly!
DeleteDid the posted wod with Joe at the 9am class. Tough one. Nice job gutting thru the pushups Joe. The kids at the 4pm class (Riley, Shad, and Zach) also did today's wod. They all finished the ten rounds. Riley and Shad completed all 150 HR pushups! Zach was coming off a nasty flu bug and toughed out 70 HR pushups. Way to go guys!
ReplyDeleteSo, the work out this am seemed like it never ended! After today 5 rounds is nothing lol! It took me half the day to finally wake up and do my job.
ReplyDeleteJoe said it was a good workout and he is feeling pretty good :)
