9/30/22

Hit the class workout today and had a solid workout... didn't look tough on paper, but the first part was a nice accessory session and the conditioning was a short burner.

10 Plate Front Raises (25#)
10 GHD Hip Extensions

B.
For time:
50 Snatches (95/65#)
100' Overhead Walking Lunge (95/65#) 

-6:40 ... snatches went 15/8/7/5/5/5/5 ... lunges were much harder than the snatches and broken up into 4 sets of 25' ... I've never been great at overhead lunges... but I also don't train them often. Overall a good session and not too taxing, but got some good intensity out of this workout.

 Did the class workout this morning... looked super simple on paper, but I tried to really push myself and I got a ton of intensity out of today.

9/24/22

This morning was super solid workout... the conditioning piece was WAY tougher than I thought it would be and I haven't back squatted in a while (months?) ... didn't push the loading on the squats, just went for perfect reps. Overall super happy to get this in given I did the entire workout at home while my 4 month old son was sleeping - that's a big win regardless of how I felt on the workout. Solid day in the gym, happy/thankful to get this in.

C2B went 10/20 unbroken and then 15/8/7 on the last set ... cleans went 10 unbroken ... 10/10 and then 8/7/5/5/5 ... very fun and high intensity workout. I am happy to be able to do this and push the pace, a few months ago when I was first getting back in crossfit, this would have wrecked me.

Traveling for Labor Day weekend ... up in Maine and dropped into a local gym. Enjoyed the workout, but definitely didn't feel great ... this was surprising given I just took two days off, but I have been traveling/having a lot of work stress. Regardless, happy to at least workout and move.
