Just Breathe

9-29-10 WOD

I had a PR on my deadlift lastnight: 215 lbs. I could have gone for more weight but I ran out of time. I’ll take 215 for now! I also came super close to my first unassisted kipping pullup. My chin hit the bar. And it was after the WOD. I know I can get it soon. Very soon!

WOD

5 rounds for time:

20 yard bear crawls

5 deadlifts (55% of 1 rep max) I used 170 lbs

10 burpees

I finished in 10:42 - I know I could have gone a little faster but the bear crawls just took it out of me. And since I was using a heavier weight for my deadlift than I normally would during a WOD it slowed me down a little too. But I’m okay with that. I need to focus on getting stronger instead of always beating everyone. Like one of the trainers told me a while ago “I know you’re fast, now let’s work on getting strong”. It kills me to slow down and not beat everyone though. And it’s funny because until now, I’ve never been a competitive person. I kind of like it.

9-9-10 WOD

Good Lord this WOD sucked. I sucked. Okay, maybe I sucked and the WOD was okay. Either way, it was awful. And today I’m going on about 3 hours of sleep so I won’t be making it to the box today. And that makes me sad. :(

9-9-10: 5 Rounds AMRAP  3 clean/jerk (135/95) then 10 air squats for 3 minutes, rest 1 minute

Normally I would be all over this because squats are my forte, however something was terribly wrong yesterday. My results were 85 lbs on the clean/jerk and I went for 14 rounds plus the last 3 clean/jerk. I felt defeated. Considering two weeks ago I was cleaning 105 lbs and yesterday I could barely lift 85 lbs. I have to admit that I have been slacking on my nutrition and my sleeping habits have been terrible this week. So that has a lot to do with it I’m sure. Next week will be better. :)
