A Quickie

Friday, March 06;

I'm going to avoid all sexual references to my title, although I think Steckbeck would go right in for the kill.

It's been an awesome week. After my less than stellar showing with the deadlifts, I pulled in some pretty sweet numbers/times/movements. I thought I'd just do a quick run down and finish with this week's crowning achievement.

Thursday was the clean.. my all time personal record is 120lb clean (nearly body weight).
I cleaned 100lbs this week, which means I'm only 20 pounds away from a pretty decent PR. I give myself about a month.

Friday. It's first Friday, which means it's a benchmark workout. I have another post in the works for the benchmark workout. I may think it over in my head a bit and put it in writing this weekend. Until then, I hit Kelly. It's hard for me to hit benchmarks because I can't do pullups quite yet. Kelly has running, box jumps and wall balls. No subbing here, just a lighter weight on the wall balls.

WOD:
400 meter run
30 32 inch box jump
30 wall ball (8lb)
Time: 31:58 (When I'm in shape I can shave an easy 2 minutes off of that. Maybe I'll try same workout next month just to see.)

Crowning Achievement of the week:
I freaking climbed the rope!! Did it tonight at the happy hours. Did it in my dress shirt, jeans and barefoot. I have a mini rope burn on the top of my left foot. So cute! Now, if I can climb this thing everyone can do it. It's not arm strength. It's a skill.
