I snagged my tights on my calluses

It's like Donny and Marie Osmond, "I'm a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock and roll." Instead it's more like, I'm a little bit girlie, and a little bit hard ass."

So I wore a skirt and tights today. Unfortunately, my outfit didn't agree with my man hands or vice versa. It took one swipe of a callous and it was too late. Tights are now trashed.

But, I wouldn't trade my nasty hands for anything in the world!

Today's workout was a blast:

We did bar work with cleans, drop snatches and one arm snatches. The goal was high repetitions to improve efficient movement and eliminate over thinking each lift.

Thursday's Workout:

Partner work:
AMRAP 5 reps, you go your partner goes

Drop Snatch w/ 45lbs (this was a real test for my shoulder strength.)
AMRAP 5 reps, you go your partner goes

Hang Power Cleans w/ 65lbs
*This was the really fun part*

One arm Barbell Snatches: I maxed out with a strong 45lb on my Right

I was surprised that my Left shoulder hung on as long as it did. I know I did 25lbs.. I think I did 40lbs on the left, but don't hold me to that.


I am constantly surprised at what we are able to do at Crossfit. It's like we are all normal people with super human abilities. It's not that though. It's about learning how to utilize your body to move heavy weight. It's fun to learn what works and what doesn't work for your body, and it's really great when you really hit a solid lift.
