Perfect Partner



Respect your work,
Respect your body,
Health is first.
Always.



The important  question is ... are you making decisions that lead to a better quality of life? Over-eat/under-eat, healthy food/junky food, train/rest, stress/joy, react/respond, love/tolerate, spirited/distracted, service/selfish ... you must be engaged, body, mind & soul.

Warm-up

EKG (as written above!) - KB L1
Evolution Kettlebell Groundwork a little mix of BWL2 & KBL1


  • Shinbox switch w/KB, 
  • KB Pullover w/Hip ext, 
  • Leg thread, 
  • Deck squat 
  • Mtn Climber Sprawl as it really feels good before squat work.

Already sweating and feeling wonderfully warm, so headed straight into strength sets. Love having a good workout partner, really makes things move right along. Focus.

Strength 

5x5 A
Backsquat 90#, Floor press 65#, Bent row 75#

Man, Patty has a cool Strong Lifts App, tracking and timer, but only for the iPhone, boo! I do love the android, but sometimes ... patience.


Skill
EMOTM 10 minutes
5 Power Snatch @bar

Wasn't sure I was going to be able to fit these in before coaching, but it was a beaut. Working on technique is always a good thing!

PM

Boxing sequence - Punching/kicks, 4 RNDs 

Asst - 3 RNDs 10 tire flips, 10 ATW es, 10 Figure 8 to Hold es
Jump rope finisher - 2 ON , 1 OFF and that was that. Various jumps w/my fav being the side whip!

Meditation

Today I am going with the quote up top ;). Too good not to burn into your lifestyle. Right on theme with accountability and the article linked below. 

Excellent read! I honestly believe that CrossFit is the tool and how you use it is completely up to you. Only YOU are responsible for your for health and longevity.

A Different Version of CrossFit

Food nug
IF Coffee
PWOD BCAA + coconut water
Snackish between workout and coaching - Greek yogurt (non-fat, I only use this pwod) w/Giddy-up Granola (gf) & cinnamon
Burger over shredded lettuce & banana peppers, sweet potato in jacket w/butter & bacon
Shrimp & coconut patties, asparagus, side baby greens salad
Rootbeer float! Coconut ice cream & our homemade 'root' beer (took a 'how to make fermented drinks' class earlier this year!) YUM! To celebrate my sweetie girl getting the lead role in her school play!

The Lullaby

~John F. Kennedy


Pigeon to Pigeon Transitions

5 RNDs
4 Handstand holds (goal: to pirouette)
4 Backroll to HS (scale: backroll to candlestick)

Not a lot of time to piddle around in the box today. So, jumped right in. 
No lifts today. Holding off until tomorrow am session.

The Lullaby
100 burpees with EMOTM 5 power snatch @45#
500 double unders with EMOTM 5 oh squat @45#
40 minute cap
24:47 

So, I went scaled my first time in here. Keeping that snatch form solid. It was a fast and furious effort, very fun, but very taxing as well. At 10 minutes I had finished the buprpees and thought, hmmm. The last 3 rounds of OHS just went on forever! Heavier and I would have likely  had to break and I think the goal was to just freakin' GO.

Crazy hat changing day. Started early with work (professional hat), break for WOD (cfjunki hat), back to work, end of the school year party (mom hat), zoom, zoom, zoom, family time (wife hat)! So glad to be able to 'squeeze' this WOD in. Happy for the new program cycle, looks exciting!
