Little Bit of This - Little Bit of That

Hi All! Welcome to the new folks who are reading the blog, it is good to have you and always good to get your feed back and questions. My Mom or I are by no means experts on nutrition or crossfit but we are living it and loving sharing our journey's through crossfitting, eating and living a happier healthier life.

Back to business. . .

Today was a day of rest, a well deserved day of (active) rest. The weekend was filled with CFED team work outs and yesterday I finished my three day cycle with a 6:30am WOD:

Warm Up:
Stretching
50 double unders (they are getting sooooo. . . much faster, dont even need a single jump in between any more!)
2 rounds of Cindy
Stretching


Take 12 minutes to find your 1-rep Deadlift max
then…
Brooke and I work together to find our DL max. I PR at 175! I was using my new chucks w/ skulls on them and they seemed to do the trick. I didnt have to think about my feet at all. I will keep you posted on the use of lifting shoes vs. running shoes. Shana also gave me some great tips on lining up my spine, and squeezing my hamstrings. I am having some trouble feeling how to squeeze my hamstring but the lifting felt easier today after she did some corrections to my form. Keeping my head down is also helping. Brooke was in a rush to get her last lift in and didnt realize it until after she had complete the lift that she PR 275! Awesome Job Brooke!!!















This pic is to dang funny not to post in as many places as possible, Love ya Brooke!

The WOD:

5 Rounds for time:
5 Deadlifts (75% 1-rep max) I used 135lbs
7 Inverted Burpees
9 Toes-to-Bar

Time: 14:33

DL are all mental for me, Shana started yelling that another gym was catching up to CFED and I pumped through 3 of em in the final round. I need to stop letting my breaks take up so much time, do the dang lift and move on.
The inverted Burpees were a fun change, love incorporating hand stands into the workout.
Toes-to-bar are always brutal, my kip is getting smaller so I am guessing that mean my abs are getting stronger!

This is your friendly reminder to take good care of your hands and calluses. I have been a bit lazy over the past week and really paid for it during this workout. No rips but man my hands were burning. I like to pumice in the shower and then put some shea butter on them. There is a great little African store in Little 5 that sells pure shea butter. Cant remember the name but it is right next to the Porter Bar.













I am excited to get into the gym tomorrow night to work on my muscle up form. Aimee posted a great video on how to practice them, good stuff! Cant wait to try it. I am also meeting a friend for her first CF WOD tomorrow at 6pm. I am so excited for her, I can remember my first time walking into a CF gym and thinking holy sh*t I dunno if I am going to make it. Amazing how much her world might change, learning what a burpee is was life altering for me. LOL!
