Today was definitely something. "Kelly" this morning and some overhead squat work this evening.

Kelly is 5 rounds of 400m run, 30 box jumps (20"), 30 wall balls (15#). I used an 18" box and 10# wallball, my mission was to get box jumps faster (no stepping down - all jumps) and I haven't done that high of a number of wallballs with 15# so advice was to go with 10#. It took me 31:18 which I am not happy with, I wanted sub-30 but my runs were slow and windy and I struggled for motivation. I think working out that late in the AM just isn't my time......

My OHS work tonight was good, felt good. Worked up in sets of 3 to 100#. Failed at 105# and decided to call it a day since I needed to finish up for dinner. Next time I want to try for a 1rep max which should easily be triple digits. Finished with a little DU practice, I min hollow hold and 1:20 plank.
Now to enjoy a wonderful dinner in the beautiful weather with my wonderful husband and pup! :)

Second CrossFit Open Workout

Second CrossFit Open Workout

AMRAP 15 minutes:
9 Deadlift (men-155#, women-100#)
12 Push-ups
15 Box Jumps (men- 24", women- 20")

I've been looking forward to doing this workout, excited about the DL's and ok with the push ups but not too thrilled with the box jumps (they are not one of my favorites). I got 8 rounds + 7 push ups which wasn't too bad, although I definitely need to work on box jumps, those were WAY too slow! Good workout though!

I'm excited to share about today's workout. I was so excited because today was 2 things I really enjoy and couldn't wait to do!!
Strength
Jerk 7x2

Met-con
Clean Ladder
ex. Minute 1 do 1 clean, minute 2 do 2 cleans, etc until you fail.

Cash-out
Max Double Unders x2

My jerks I worked up to 100#. Need to get more comfortable with triple digit weight overhead, I get a llittle nervous and then am not confident in my lifts...
Clean ladder @65# which I did previously. Today was 15+14 with previous something like 9+... I was pretty amped about that!
Didn't get much DU practice in today, have to continue working on that!
