Hi Friends!
Somehow my Fitness Friday posts really seem to be getting away from me! It’s been almost a month since my last one! I promise I’ve still been working out. Here’s what I’ve been up to since my last Crossfit Competition:
1. Monday- Still recovering from the competition. Went light & used 125# for deadlifts, finished in 6:58
2. Tuesday- Strict Pullups and toes to bar, then the #wod, 10:35 with 105# hang cleans and 14 Pullups per round instead of muscle ups
3. Wednesday- 30# Turkish getups, 135/150/128 for double unders, then finished the round of 9 for the WOD Rx
4. Thursday- Lots of heavy squats – 7x 4 at 150# then 12:12 Rx for the wod
*Friday- REST DAY*
1. Saturday- This will get your day off to a good start! I used 85# – rough!
2. Saturday- 12:00 Rx those lunges w/ 25# plate in each hand were killer at the end!
3. Sunday- Crazy heavy front squats in #wod 1 – finished 4 rounds + 6 wall balls. Every time we didn’t go unbroken, one of our box jumps for wod 3 turned into a burpee box jump. I broke once in rounds 2-4 on my front squats. Legs were jello for wod 2 but finished in 9:24 and went unbroken on everything. Then 3 burpee box jumps and 27 box jumps to finish it off!
4. Monday- 9:36 for the wod. Started at 85#, went down to 75# for the last 3. Legs were DEAD Sunday’s workout and front squats today. NOTE: Yes, I went down in weight during the middle of a WOD. I’ve never done that before, but I was compromising my form since my legs were so tired and it wasn’t worth it. There’s no point doing things heavier if you’re doing them wrong.
*Tuesday- REST DAY*
1. Wednesday- 11:43 rx+ (used a 20# wb)
2. Thursday- Boom! New Fran PR! 5:04!!! Previous was 6:17
*Friday- REST DAY*
3. Saturday- 18:46 with a 20# medball & 65# push press
4. Sunday- 5:34 for the first wod with a 35# dumbbell, 131 reps for the second wod, 11:21 for our team row.
1. Monday- PR’d my one rep max back squat! 185# 🙂 then 5+20 for the wod
2. Tuesday- Finished in 9:02. Actual wod was hand stand pushups but they’ve been bothering my neck/shoulder so I did hand release pushups- Modified to make things work for you! No point in hurting yourself further just to do a workout as prescribed.
3. Wednesday- Right up my alley! 9:39 Rx.
*Thursday- REST DAY*
4.Friday- PR’d my deadlift 255#! then 8:24 rx for the wod. Holy heavy front squats!
Love a new PR 🙂
1. Saturday- Just needed something with light weight that didn’t involve my back after deadlifts the day before to get the blood flowing! Used a 35# bar for thrusters
2.Sunday – 15:00 for the first wod, second wod was supposed to be hspu- modified for my neck & also supposed to have 30 shoulder to overhead and 90 ft walking lunge but I wasn’t feeling 100% so I stopped at 10. Listen to your body.
3. Monday- Squats, weighted step-ups, double unders (I did 4×50), plus strict Pullups – then 4+7 & 4+6 for the wod
*Tuesday- *REST DAY*
4. Wednesday- Loved this #wod – 6:16 Rx
*Thursday- REST DAY*

I’m pretty stoked- I found a friend to come try out a crossfit class with me early December!
Congrats on that deadlifting PR- absolute machine!!! I’m about to start a new lifting program, my recent one is getting abit redundant!
ahhh see? HOW BAD ASS you look in the PR pic makes even me wanna crosfit.
i’ve actually been back in the gym this week! just walking on the treadmill and some lunges, but itz a start!!
So many PR’s lately, congrats!
so GOOD to hear you went down in weight when needed. Amen to not compromising form!! 🙂
These workouts look really challenging, at least they’re pretty!
Bam! Serious work going on there. Good for you!
My workouts this week? Zero, other than one strength session. Recovering from being sick and too much training…I needed the rest!
Wow your arms look amazing in that picture! Awesome workouts this week! My week has been so-so when it comes to workouts due to my injury but I am slowly getting back 🙂
Thanks sarah! hope you recover quickly!
Amazing WODs you did….but that Fran PR I would be the most stoked about!! That girl SCARES me….it’s a mental thing I know…but damn!!
Congrats on the PR!
ahh Thanks Angie! I was pretty excited!
My first class is Monday, nervous 🙂
hope you have fun!!
Congrats on the PR’s of late, seriously killing it lately!!
You are looking strong. Congrats on the PRs!
thanks Katie!
I don’t think it’s a big deal to go down in weight during a wod if your form is getting bad. It’s just smart.
Nice work on the PRs.
I have always wanted to try crossfit! Maybe sometime soon
Congrats on the deadlift PR!! BEAST!
Last week we tackled Morrison–OMG that is killer! It definitely made me get over my fear of the box jumps!
Friggin amazing!
Wow well done on all those PRs!! So awesome!!
I will have to try out some of those workouts 🙂
Thanks Jan!
