Back At It

Monday, August 31;



Some days you own a workout, and other days workouts own you. Today, it was the latter for me. I had to really fight through this workout. No quitting. There was a moment when I was about 1/4 of the way through this WOD. I looked at Jerry and gave him that big Cheshire cat smile.. you know the one where you know you're getting your ass kicked, but you love him for doing it to you. He gave me a Cheshire back. He knew he was kicking my ass, and he loved it! Sick! Sweet and Sick!



Two movements that really push my weaknesses. Strict L-sit pullups and strict shoulder presses. I'm really good at movements that allow me to use my body to move weight. I'm less good at using pure strength to move weight, especially when it comes to shoulder strength. On days when the workouts are really challenging, I've been ignoring the clock and working on perfect form and full range of motion. If I can't do it fast, I'm going to take my time and do it right. I always thank Elise for this lesson. She worked out with this very same attitude. Take your time... do it right. Get stronger. Then get faster. She's beast now. I figure it's a winning recipe for strength.
