Good week at CrossFit. It’s one of those activities which can seem SO HARD one day, then not so bad the next. It’s all about the movements in the WOD and whether it hits your list of strengths verses weaknesses. This is the reason as to why it’s so important to KEEP GOING, even when you are feeling bad or as if you aren’t making any progress. The very next workout may be the one that YOU knock out of the park.
Day 58 – Push Press 5×3 – 73#
Tabatas for Total Reps – Keep track of your reps throughout each of the 8 sets of a movement.
- Kettlebell Swings – 35#s – Dang that KB is soooo heavy. As indicated by my crazy face below.
- Ball Slams – 20# – Another super heavy item!
- Hand Release Push-Ups – Not a good move for my spaghetti arms.
- Rowing for Calories (something to count for the total reps)
Day 59 – Back Squats – 5×3 – 83#s – Moved up in weight!!
5 Rounds
- 15 Front Squats with a 35# KettleBell – Yep, still heavy.
- 10 Sit-ups
- 5 Burpees – Dare I say these are almost manageable in increments of 5?
Then we stretched, rolled & worked on our Double-Unders! Good week!

Yay….woo-hoo…hard…but you knocked one out-of-the-park! I love reading your musings in always perpetual battle to sustain or improve in strength and ability! And that goes both for the physical as well as the mental/spiritual side of life! You are an inspiration…keep it up! And look up that word inspiration…derived from Latin/Greek?….inspiron…to breathe in!
There is a crossfit box which recently opened in my town…I tempted!!! Do you think CrossFit would be manageable at home by myself? Or does joining worth the high $ membership?
I do think you need to go to the gym, at heats to lean the movements and the proper form. The likelihood of injury is high if you don’t do the moves correctly.
