1. Deadlifts and T2B

    Soooo new deadlift PR: 175! yeehaw. WODed with 145 the day after. Ohhh yeah. Almost died, but I survived. Also, found my new back squat PR, because I was getting really bored with back squating with 50#. So, yeah back squat, 115. :)

    My main issue is T2B. If anyone has any tips, please let me know. Today I’m going to take a different approach. It’s really hard for me to get the swing. I can’t kip at all either. So, I’m going to do a K2E and then swing my feet up the extra space and touch the bar. Dri told me this counts. I hope to accomplish this today so I can start my progress with this so hopefully by August I’ll have my pretty T2B. 

  2. UGH

    Last week was terrible. I think I only trained one day. This week I’m going back today. No more partying on the weekends until SCG. It fucks up my mindset and schedule. I’m also starting to keep things in a notebook instead of here. Its just easier for me to update. I’ll update with wods sometimes here, but not as much as I used to. PR’s you’ll hear about though :)

  4. Fasting Week 2

    I got into this mindset yesterday that I’m not doing enough. I need to be doing more. So I did. But i felt really light headed due to the fasting. I changed it up from dinner to dinner, instead of breakfast to breakfast so that I can eat after working out. Did some Outlaw, some cardio, and some abs with the girls.

    Reps of 9-7-5 of:
    Muscle-Ups (did 3 dips and 3 pulls for 1 muscle up instead)

  5. 72 days!

    ladies, gents, and those in between. Time for my update of the day. Switched out my rest days. Instead of today, it was yesterday. I had my cousin’s high school graduation. It’s crazy how time passes. I was so emotional. Never thought I would be. Here we are looking super fly :)

    Anddddd I have a new PR for back squat. It was always there, just never attempted it. Below is Tuesday:

    Strength
    Back Squat
    1x8 @ 50#
    1x5 @ 55#
    1x3 @ 65#
    1x3 @ 75#
    It was supposed to be off of your 3 rep max, but honestly, that was too light, so I just uped the weight. The 75 was still a bit light for me.

    Conditioning
    Diane
    21-15-9:
    Deadlifts @ 115#
    HSPU w/ 3 ab mats
    Time: 9:48
    I like my time a lot, especially since this weight i had to do in sets of about 5s and then rest. It wasn’t too heavy, but I haven’t deadlifted heavy in a while so it felt good.

  6. NEW PRs!

  9. SCG 2012

    Yeah, thats right, Summer Crush Games people. Im back at it. Starting training today. Hoorah! I’ve got 81 days. Double wods all the way. I’m competing on my own in the scaled division. :) AHHHHH!!!!!! oh my fuck, im super excited. I’ve got the fire back. I’m starting intermediate fasting this week as well. Training will be whatever wod is at the box and then doing what this guy posts. Insane in the membrane stuff. Reqs are as follows:

    • DL: 1 rep - 175#
    • Any Clean: 1 rep - 95#
    • T2B
    • Carry atlas stone. Weight unknown at the moment

    T2B is my weakness, so gotta work on that a lot. The stone thing has me a little intimidated, but I got this.

    Hoorah bitches!
