Xfit Legs

As I stepped out of the shower this morning and dried off my legs, I thought to myself, “This must be what a Crossfitter looks like.”

...That or an uncoordinated Xfitter who got tired during box jumps earlier in the week! 😂 To be honest, I know that’s how I earned my shin bruise and scrape, but the other 2 battle wounds...🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

And here they are a few days later...

After 1.5 weeks off, it felt so good to be back in the gym today!! The 2nd round of AMRAP made me a little nervous because of my hamstring so I modified. I used a band with a PVC pipe for deadlifts and worked on form and didn’t get quite as intense with the burpee to plate.
This was definitely a good WOD

Today was a sad day for me. I pulled my hamstring during the warm up. It happened while warming up doing deadlifts or good mornings. Either way...I felt a couple pops on the backside of my leg and then had an immediate tingle from where the pop happened down to my foot. I thought I could go easy in the workout and be ok but during the first round, all was ok until I was modifying the ring muscle ups by doing dips and BOOM...there it was. I stretched it out for a good 20 mins in the gym before taking the walk a shame out of there. I was not only feeling embarrassed, but also upset that it would happen. I need to remember that I haven’t truly done CrossFit for a solid 7 years so easing it to it is hard for me to do. Being competitive, I hate that I have to sit it out for a little while so I can heal.

5 mins to complete 400m run and 20 burpees box jump overs. My box was at 16” today and it was more of step ups than actual jump overs, but at least there was continual movement. If we finished the set in under 5mins that leftover time was our rest time. I finished with at least a minute to spare each set so that was good for me.

Tonight was my first time trying the rings...I scaled by doing knees to rings instead.

May 5, 2020

This was a little brutal...and let’s just say that there was lots of sweat left on the ground!

6 Power cleans with 45lbs
12 Assisted pull ups
(My forearms were so tight after this!!)

DB clean & jerks with 15lbs, but I should have tried the next weight up, which would have been 25lbs...next time.

Hang snatch with 35lbs
I was able to kick up into a handstand (with assistance) and hold. This was a big milestone!!

Time: 23:29

Today I left feeling tired and accomplished! Great WOD

May 4, 2020

I had no idea what the Bear Complex was until today, but I quite liked it. HERE is a video to demonstrate.

Bear Complex: 35 lb, 45 lb, 55 lb, and ultimately 65 lbs

Deadlifts: 55 lbs
KB SDHP: 25 lbs
KB: 18 lbs...I couldn’t successfully master the overhead lunge without my arm remaining straight up and keeping form, so...I did OH KB carry without the lunges so that I could work on building my arm/shoulder strength

Time: 9:37

Today’s WOD: “Mini-Murph”
When I mentioned to the coach that the workout looked like a mini Murph, he said it was...hoping to get us ready for the Hero WOD: Murph on Memorial Day. I’m not sure if I will be around that day for a workout or not, but I would be curious to see how I did in comparison to the last time I did it. I know I am nowhere near where I was then...
Man makers: 15lbs DB
Assisted pull ups

Time: 22 minutes

May 1, 2020

We were told that today wasn’t very “Crossfitty” because the WOD was not for time.
My back squats were: 35lb, 45lb, 55lb, 65lb and 75lb
DB Rows used a 15lb DB
I couldn’t do a muscle up so I substituted for 8 assisted pills & 8 ring dips per round
Again, I couldn’t do a handstand walk so I substituted for learning how to kick up into a handstand.
...baby steps...literally!
