Hello Blogsphere
I had another pain in my shoulder, which gives me the sads at Crossfit. So, I get grumpy and not want talk about it. I just..pout. Pout pout. Plus, I was at the office 3 days last week, and the other two were spent making it up to one sad little girl who misses her mommy. I know she’s fine and I know it’s not a big deal, but I definitely feel guilty that I’ve been putting in an inordinate time at work lately. I have to go in this weekend too, and 3 more days this week (Wed-Friday), and maybe a couple more days the following week to wrap up a big project. I think part of my guilt is I actually enjoy being at the office and getting work done, and feeling like I’m contributing to something. Then I start to wonder if I SHOULD take the next job they offer me (they’ve made it pretty clear I’m free to grab whatever job comes available. I already turned down a pretty good paying one they offered me, but they are growing and jobs are opening up constantly), but I go home and my daughter is so happy to see me….I just can’t do it.
Anyways. Onto Crossfit!
Monday
Strength/Skill
Push press, 5×5
I got up to 100# for the push press. Ran out of time, but I definitely think I could have gotten 105# for 5 reps-only 5# less than my 1RM
WOD
15-12-9
Cleans @ 95#
Chest to Bar pull ups
Time: 8:27, RX. Best Chest to bar pull ups yet! Got sets of 7-5 each round to start. I’m getting gloves soon so I can practice after class and not worry about ripping my hands so much…I think the trick to the bar work for me is how my hands feel. But i need to get on that bar more!
Squat Cycle
10×3 @ 130#
These felt pretty good
Tuesday:
Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes
5 strict press

Hang snatch, 5×1 Below the knee
snatch pull, 3×5 @ 85#
went light on the hang snatch, I really hate that drill below the knee
Friday
4 RFT
20 cal row
10 thrusters @ 95#
rest 3:00 between rounds
I don’t remember my time, but I just did 5 Thrusters @ 95#. I had the strength to do all 10 but again..shoulder going over head. however every time these come up i’ve had to modify, so the coach and I agreed that I really need to DO the heavier weight. It’s not weight that bothers it so much as high repetition so going less reps/heavier weight worked
3 position power clean until failure
got to 115#
from that weight, 2 position power clean (hang/floor) until failure
got to 125#
Ran out of time, was going to go to singles. Tried 135# really quick but just didn’t have it in me.
