Fight Gone Bad

Fight Gone Bad really wasn't that bad. It was fun to help coach everyone through the classes. The energy that everyone had really helped when it was my turn up to bat. There were a few points during the workout when I thought I might die and could no longer pick up the bar/ball, but my partner Kate and Nate/Tina/Melissa/Dev/Aaron/Nadine were all very helpful in pushing me, instead of listening to the voices inside my head that were telling me I was crazy. Because of that I think I made a great improvement from the previous time. I also think it helped that I started on the push press, which is a great exercise for me. That is where I made some huge gains from the last time. I went from 247 to 272, which is 3 reps shy of my 6th month goal to do 275. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing because now it means that I actually have to do it again to see if I can hit 275....Hmmm..

WOD
Fight Gone Bad

Round 1 Round 2: Round 3:
PP: 33 26 20
Row: 14 11 10
Wall Ball: 20 16 13
SDHP: 19 15 15
Box Jump: 25 18 17

I think I went out too hard at the push press. Cause my numbers dwindled quickly. I guess I will have to figure out ways to strategize this better. Until next time.

Friday WOD

Didn't really do much, just wasn't feeling it. It has been one of those weeks. I think i did some med ball cleans and stopped at the 50 lb because it felt very heavy.

Warmup-
Kettlebell complex- All I remember is how hard the half squats were

Skill
Max pullup
1 arm overhead squat

I did not think I was going to get very many pullups today. I just wasn't feeling it. I suprised myself and got 23 kipping pullups. I only needed 2 more to hit my goal that I made for the new year, but when I tried to go for 24 my hands slipped off the bar. I have to work on my grip a little more. Either, I am still very happy.

WOD- Partner style

50 med ball situp passes- 14lb
100 wall ball- 14 lb
200 db snatch- 20 lb
run 2 laps
8x bear crawls
200 jumping pull ups
100 kb sdhp- 25lb
50 atomic pushups

Melissa was my partner and it was great because we paced and encouraged each other. I guess it helps when two trainers are partnered together.
