And on the 6th day...

8:30am @ RNCF

3 Rounds of Complex Not for Time
5 Snatch grip push press (55#)
5 OH squats
5 BB jump squat
5 Snatch balance

NOTES: I like this warm up. It's short and sweet. I didn't realize that I was doing shoulder presses (instead of push presses) until Andy pointed it out.

Snatch

NOTES: Andy worked with me again today. I think there were a handful of more 'good' reps, which is promising. I think I stayed mostly at 85# for most of this session. I just need to lean back! Ahhhhh it's so frustrating.

Front Squat
Find 1RM in 4 sets
1 x 125
1 x 165
1 x 195
1 x 215 (fail)

NOTES: So, my legs were cashed once I got to this movement. I've had a lot of volume and a lot of heavy reps the past six days. I was really happy that I got 195. My current PR is 210. I lost my tension in 215 because I didn't stay tight at the bottom. Right before I was about to attempt 215#, Andy threw 25#s on each side of my bar and just had me stand up with the weight on my back. It made 215 feel really light and it made my legs feel really quick. If I was better rested I know I could've gotten that rep. I just couldn't get it today. Such is life.

'Christine'
3 Rounds
500m Row
12 DL at Body weight (135#)
21 Box Jumps (20")

TIME: 11:09
NOTES: My legs have not felt that much pain since - I don't remember when. Like I said before, this was my 6th day in a row at the gym. When I looked at the workout I assumed that I would bound off all the box jumps. Nope. I couldn't even do that on the FIRST rep. That has never happened to me before. It was really surprising and actually really embarassing. I was happy that I did all my DLs UB. The deadly combination of rowing and box jumps really did me in.

Side Note: I've performed over 260+ box jumps since Friday.

I would love to repeat this workout when I'm a little more fresh. My legs were seriously inoperable on the row, and my box jumps were a joke. If Andy wasn't standing there watching me, my row would have probably dipped down into like 2:30 pace. NOT acceptable.

I would say that I've earned my rest day tomorrow. Sorry River North CrossFit: It's not you, it's me. I'm tired. We won't be able to hang out tomorrow.

Until Wednesday.


Cheers to leftovers!
