This is going to hurt tomorrow

Tuesday, December 18

Today's workout was a little different than usual, but it felt good because I got to play with everyone else at least for a good bit of the workout.

Warmup:
3 rounds clock never stops:
Wall squats: 45 seconds
Plank: 45 seconds
Swinging the Rope: 45 seconds
Jumping Plank: 45 seconds (I tried a few pushups with these, but usually at the second or third pushup, I'd feel a "bad" pain in my left shoulder. I stopped.)

Workout:
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (in 20lb weight vest)

Deadlift 135lbs
Right arm Dumbell thruster 30lbs
Total time: 14:15

It's rare that I get close to throwing up and this one got me pretty close. It's tough doing heavy weight and trying to do it quickly and correctly. I kept trying to remember not to round my back as I completed the deadlifts. It's easy to do with a weight vest. The vest can hide poor form, so I was particularly aware of curving in my lower back. I know I had some bad pulls with a curved lower back and the bar away from my shines. I guess I'll find out how bad when I wake up tomorrow morning.

Round 7 & 8 were by far the worst. The reps are high enough that I felt like I would never finish, but I had already gotten through some really high reps. It really helped having my fellow Crossfitters cheering for me. Thanks all!

Cool Down:
2 laps of bear crawls (didn't hurt my shoulder. Jerry, it's another one for the list.)

Tag team jumping pullups (way to go Andrea)
