Ok, ok, so I failed at updating last week on Sunday… but in my defense, it was the start to a crazy week… Anyway, here’s what we’ve got: WEEK TWO Monday (W2D1) 1) Snatch: find a max for the day then 80%/1, 85%/1, 90%1 of daily max 65×2, 85, 95, 105, 110-2X, 85, 90, 95 2) […]
The Crossfit Open. When everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, in Crossfit, gets hyped up to basically take the annual Crossfit SATs. Every Thursday night a new workout is announced, and we all have until Monday at 5PM PST to complete it, with a certified judge, and log our scores online. Then we get ranked against […]
Wow I feel like I blogged SO MUCH in January because of the FDU meet, and then pretty much not at *all* the past week. Meep. I’ll work on that. Anyhow, what’s new this month? Well… I officially sent off my registration for the NYC Open on March 16th, so that’s a thing I’m doing […]
There’s just something about being on the platform working on the prescribed strength portion, being in your own little zone, focusing hard, taking a super tough pull, finishing your rep… and your coach walking over from out of your peripheral vision, giving you a look of pride and saying, “Those are some of the *best* […]
After the way I lifted on Monday, I was already a bit apprehensive about going in to lift tonight. I think coming off a shit night just really does something to your head, you know? I’m not usually too much of a head case, even though lifting does get in my head a bit, but […]
Last night at oly I had the worst day I’ve ever had lifting. I’ve had days where technique has been frustrating and I’ve struggled, but I’ve never just been so CONFUSED about what was going on with my body until yesterday. We started with some general work, and then moved into Max Snatch for the […]
As many of you know, I was losing my mind last week because my first Olympic Weight Lifting meet got moved up from the first week in February to the second week in January. This cut my training time into… pretty much zero. That said, the whole purpose of me doing the meet in February […]
I know, I know, as usual, epic lateness fail. HOWEVER, these numbers ARE ACTUALLY FROM THE ELEVENTH because I remembered that morning, got on the scale, and took pictures of the results. I’m getting there, I promise. December Health Stats Height: 5’5” Weight: 144.2 [No Change (This Month)] [-10.8 (From Start)] Muscle Mass: 35.7% [+.3 […]
I know. Epic fail. I missed a month AND this one is late. I’m so bad at this. In a way, I kind of wonder if that means that these numbers aren’t as important to me anymore? …that also might just be a slight excuse for not wanting to post them. ANYHOW Here we are […]
I feel like every little step I take in Crossfit feels like this momentous accomplishment for me, but you know what, whatever. I kind of like having tons of accomplishments to report and hopefully at some point this blog will help someone else who is as cheeseball and freaked out about everything as I am […]
