Happy Halloween

I didn't bother to post about yesterdays workout because it wasn't that impressive. I was 10# off all my lifts from previous PRs. I'm sure it's a combination of the time off and also just being sore from the previous days. I am really glad today is a rest day, Halloween and carb day what more could you ask for. Also after jumping back in on the strength cycle it has come to my attention that I need to switch some things up. Warm up needs to be more tailored to the previous workout. Such as if we can't lift our arms we shouldn't really be doing pull ups and push ups. So going to start adding different things such as lunges and jump rope into the mix. Really the warm up is just to keep elements of CF in the daily routine so we don't loose much of that and hopefully get better. I'll add pics of the kids later this evening in their costumes.

Who has the best snatch... it's a tie!

I have to say I had very little desire to workout today because I was SOOO sore. But once we got warmed up and started working on the lifts it was a lot of fun. It was interesting that we found a lift that we all equally suck at! Thanks to MIchelle we kept going to try to get a PR and we all got stuck at the same number 65 which is pretty funny. My body actually felt much better after the workout.

Our warm up was sub par today because of the soreness. We just did 15 KBS, 15 Light OHS, and some stretching with the pvc.

Worked on Quick drops using 27# 7x3
Deadlift with snatch grip up to 95#
Full Snatch 27,32,37,42,47,52,57,62,65 x1

And so it begins...

Started the strength cycle today and wasn't as happy as I should be. I'm still feeling so weak after taking almost a month off. (not by choice) I've lost so much of my grip strength even the pull ups were tough. I'm sure it will come back after a bit just rather frustrating knowing I'm not where I was. Also started the Crossfit Endurance workout as well and that is going to be harder than I expected.

Warm up PU: 5x5, KBS 15, OHS 15

Rack Pulls 7x3x225
HPC 7x3 55,60,65,70,75,80,85(1),85(1)
Shrugs 95,115,135,155,175,185,200
Push ups x3 12,10,11

Crossfit Endurance Row 375x4 with 5 min rest.

Took a rest day...

Really tired and sore today from yesterdays workout and sinus headache so decided to listen the the docs advice and just take a rest day today. Everyone did really well on the CFT today I'm not able to max out yet so I don't feel too bad for taking a day off.

Even if you've seen this take time to watch again.

Tired

Getting ready to head to bed. Went light on FS today because not suppose to be putting a lot (any) pressure on my ear. And I tend to hold my breath a lot on the FS. A lot of PR's were made today in the gym! 

I got the kinda ok from the doc.

My apt wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Usually they do something that is painful today not the case. I didn't get the total all clear. But he said I could slowly ease back into working out. And basically not do anything that we do on CF haha. We'll we know that is not going to happen. I have researched online and everything I find says you can get back to physical activity after three weeks. They are just not use to crossfit so it scares them to give the full go ahead. I said to the doctor can I PLEASE workout I am seriously going crazy and my callouses are going away!! They looked at each other like this girl is crazy. So what did I do tonight? I maxed out on clean and jerk with Nat and Tun. I am happy to say that I think I matched my previous PR of 95 and with all that time off I am pretty pleased with that. I am planning on the strength cycle but going to go a little easier the first week cause the doc really wanted me to lay off it for one more week. I planned on working on 3 lifts today so I figured only doing 1 was a compromise. I usually prefer to workout on my own but it was nice to workout with both Nat and Tun today. And glad that Nat is back from vacation just not the same without her!
