One for the lightweights big guy. I struggled as well, it is one of the things i love about CrossFit, you can beat your chest as much as you want after a WOD that suits you but tomorrow could be a different story.
Worked HSPU in the skills and improved a rep, 7 with the blue band and did some work on negatives to 1 ab mat, feeling much stronger.
WOD- 34.21 R'xd. I knew i was in trouble when i tried to put a break on lynne on the first run and when i looked over my shoulder she was right behind me. My old nememsis VRon thrived on the long 5 rounder and wore me down as well.
Great effort by the morning team, lynne & courtney were amazing. Great effort by Julie at the end. Hope Shane, V & Dan have a great & safe trip in America.
Skills: Handstand Push-Ups 5 reps 1x Blue & 1x Red bands 2 sets, 3 reps 1x Blue band 3 x Negatives to 2 AbMats 2 x Negatives to 2 AbMats(Failed on 3rd)
WOD: 41.50 Rxd Brutal, hands started to tear midway throug 3rd round and now look like a mashed up jelly donut, but still managed to finish. NO EXCUSES.
Don`t be too hard on your self Jody, Like you said tomorrow is another day and I will be chasing you with the next WOD.
Great work by all the SUNSHINERS this morning, I so wanted Courtney to beat me (no one else though !!! ) LOL, once she masters her pushups I have no chance.
HSPU big improvement for me today 3RM x 3 sets with just the towel (God knows what the towel would do if I stacked it).
WOD rxd 25:35
Safe trip and have a fantastic time in the USA Shane Bear , V and Dan XXX Adios Amigos
HSPU's weren't as good as they could have been because of my shoulder injury. Did a couple of sets of 3 using blue band, then two in a row with 2 abmats, then a couple of sets of 3 negatives with 1 abmat.
WOD: 36:22 (substituted 20kg strict press for push ups due to shoulder injury).
Thank you Jody for writing down all our splits. It was interesting to see how consistent I was for each exercise in each round. It was pretty tough backing up with even more pullups today after all yesterday's pullups, and my muscles are really feeling sore now!
Have an absolutely FANTASTIC time in the States you guys! I hope my "connection" can do something for you! Fingers crossed!
WOD: 32.03 Rxd, Far out HC knew this'd be our last day before heading to the US and boy did he make it a beauty.....thanks.
Well done everyone, this was a really tough WOD, the fighting spirit shone through today, no doubt. So glad I can still beat Jody every now and then, haha, actually I'm thinking phew.
And thank you for everyone's well wishes, it means so much to me. See you when I get back, take care until then!
Daniels Hands. NO EXCUSES!
WOD: 39:35 (blue band)
ReplyDeleteOn the upside my HSPU are improving. On the downside, this WOD was a killer.
