WOD
21-15-9
Deadlift (Rx: 275/185)
HSPU
HRPU

 

My Results:

• Benchpress = 75# (could’ve, should’ve, done more)
• Back Squat = 125# (this felt VERY close to 3RM, but not 1RM)
• WOD Time = 10:50 (deadlift weight = 95#)
• Hand-stand push-ups I did from the high box – exaggerated pike position – as “V” as possible.
• Calories burned = 140 (yes, in 10 minutes)

Observations:

• The strength portion was fun, but I really want to build up my squat ability.  My upper body is above average for a female, & I’m barely cutting it on the quads.  Will work on this.
• The WOD was great – I enjoyed how fast it went & yet how hard I worked.  Coach Mike was encouraging as usual & really helped to push me harder.
• I still had some energy after the WOD, so Mike had me do 3 x 5 of straight (no kip) pull-ups.  I really could only do one, but going through the motions was helpful (I think.)  I also threw in some hanging abs that he demonstrated.

Today my lower back & bootie are mad sore (check out the blue line in the image above), but I am DIGGING the feeling.  Tonight… Back for more! 😉
