WOD
Snatch
1-1-1-1-1-1-1
21-15-9 for time:
Hang Squat Cleans, 135/95 lbs
Explosive push-ups

Worked on form during the snatch. I walked in late for the wod and felt all discombobulated tonight
65#/strict push-ups.
An ugly 9:43

I’ve felt exhausted all day and sore. I know it’s the “initial Paleo slump “and to be expected. The great thing is I’m sleeping like a dead person.

Who invented burpees??

Erin B. — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:01:58 +0000

205 Rx’d
30 kb swings every round and 10-12 burpees.

This WOD was awesomely horrible but I felt great doing it. I’m pleased that I kept a consistent number throughout the 5 rounds. (41-40-41-40-43)

And I came home to a beautiful pair new lifting shoes. I can’t wait to try them out.

Finished with Jon M’s Oly lifiting class. I feel like I am getting some of the snatch down but I’m still very much a work in progress. Very humbling.

But Jon keeps telling me the shoes will help….we will see!

Squat Clean and Jerks (Sat)

First Blog in a long time!!

30 Squat Clean and Jerks, 70#

Should have gone heavier on this one. I didn’t have enough time to warm up so I gauged wrong when setting up my weight.

Each rep (expect for a few in the beginning) were from the ground.

Back Squat
85-105-115-115-115

Tabata Situps

105

I have a hard time with back squats. They feel strange, I can’t get into a rhythm and my depth is never quite deep enough. I need to go back to lighter weight and work on form and technique.

Double-unders..need I say more?

Erin B. — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 01:12:22 +0000

5 Rounds for time:
75 Double Unders
Run 400 meters

In PCF terms I was a puppy today…all the way! I think I hate everyone who makes double unders look so effortless!

150 singles X 5 = I really need to learn double unders.

400 M run

Rest Day: June 28th

Erin B. — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:18:44 +0000

Sunday became an unplanned rest day. I was tired. My body was tired and my shoulder is really sore. I decided that it would be best to listen to how I was feeling and take the day off. I hate that I missed the WOD but glad that I took the day.

No excuses today though….

Yesterday (Thursday 090625) Just keep moving….

Hang Power Cleans

65-75-70-65-65

Rest

7 Rounds for time:

Row 250 meters

10 Box Jumps, 20 in.

16:03 rx’d

I was exhausted after this WOD. This was my first time going to PCF during the day. It’s very different without a large group of people. I can definitely say I enjoy and need the motivation of working out with a group.

The splash in the pool afterward was wonderful!
