Yesterday

 Yesterday was a little bit and today a little less.  Struggled with front lunges and can't hang from the bar-unknown shoulder issues. I think I was doing too much trying to get back.  Going to play more pickleball.

A Little Bit

 A little bit of a morning walk, a little bit of incline bench press (4 sets)-heaviest set 45lbs and 3 sets of alternating dumbbell upright rows.

Sunrise

 

Walking into the sunrise this morning.

Front Squats: 35 37.5 45 50 50 52.5 52.5 52.5 52.5 55

AMRAP 12:  2 Wall Balls

2 Box Jumps

2 Burpees

add 2 each round

SCORE: 12+14

Walk

 Went walking this morning, it was a nice cooler morning and my watch keeps reminding there's been a downward trend in my steps.  I guess it's time to fix that.

Did 65-75-85-95-115 sets of 10 deadlifts and 1@125, Im trying to be slow about increasing weight.  This was all fairly comfortable.

3x10 dumbbell curls and called it good, except sitting there in the garage after I was done I decided I really did need that landmine and the kids pull up bar that I'll use for muscle up progressions. Ordered. Not sure what my next must have will be.....just don't let it be an assault bike, I can live quite happily without one.

Squat to the Box

 Well, that's a mighty low box!  

8 rounds, 2 minute rounds with 2 minute rest:

15 Wall Balls--squat to that box!

Remainder of time: Calorie Row

I think I added wrong, I thought I got 66 calories, but when I put it in my app it was 76, let's just take the 76.

Back to the Box

AMRAP 20

Bike Calories

15 Box Jumps

3 Rope Climbs 

4 rounds + 22 reps

Going Back

 It's always hard to go back after you've been gone for awhile but tomorrow...I was going to go today but the workout was hang power snatches and my shoulders are not so great right now.  I did do the front squat part of yesterdays WOD in my garage, today I did incline shoulder press and alternating dumbbell raises at home. Round 2 of Valtrex and I'm feeling pretty good.

Not Open

 I didn't register for the open but planned on doing all the workouts, the first one came and I was at Brent's so that was a handy excuse, workout 1 was totally doable.  25.2 came and I was having a fantastic mom, sis, auntie, cousin trip....far away from any box. 25.3 should have been done this morning but now I'm having the f'n boring weekend my friend wished upon me.  I was delighted for that wish, so ready for a boring weekend, well now I've got it, a boring weekend and shingles.  Not the way I wanted to have a boring weekend.  So...if you haven't already-get the vaccine!  It's one of those things I kept meaning to do and didn't-

3's

 3-3-3-3-3 Backsquats

55-60-65-70-75

Wall Walks & Deadlifts

 Lots of rounds, time 8:56

Double Kettlebell Front Rack Carry---done 26lbs.

Negative Level

What!  I was looking at my app when I entered today's workout.  My workout level is "negative".

Well I think negative about squat snatches too.  

4:00AM?

 Brent asked if I wanted to do 25.1 with him, I said sure. Oops changed my mind when he said it would be the 4:00am class.  Haven't done it yet....

Dubs and Rows

 3RFT 

800M Row

Some usually large number of rows, I  practiced dubs for 1 1/2 minutes and put a few together.

Time 20:30

25.1 announcement--doesn't seem too bad.  Burpees are your friend when you're low to the ground

Watching the Paint Dry

 So there it is!  Putting the TV in was the hardest part!  Only because I said, "no I think we need to move it (twice, after the holes for the mount were drilled), which called for repairing drywall, texturing and repainting. 

And there is--my new Diane bar!  It came today.  I still need a mount for my safety arms, but I think for the moment I'm pretty content.

Deadlifts

 10-8-8-4-4-4

75-85-95-105-115-120

I didn't go for a one rep max so I'm pretty happy with todays lifts.

Crossover Symmetry

 Today's workout was heavy on the shoulder work so I did Crossover Symmetry at home and walked.

Reducing Friction

 Crossfit this morning--alternating pistols to a box which honestly went better than I expected them to. EOS after CF to hangout with the grandson, some deadlifts when I got home.  Nothing spectacular about any movement today, but done.

TV

 The TV is going in the garage! I have most of the basics done.  Yesterday I ordered a Diane Bar, it's not a kids bar, it's a "Diane Bar" named in honor of my good friend Diane who donated her Covid bar to 7K. Foundry has lots of Diane bars and I'm starting to use them more.  It's a "25lb", not exactly, it's a 10Kg bar.  Yesterday I could clean 55 plus a little on the Diane bar but when I tried to replicate it at home with my 35lb Bella bar I couldn't.  I think it's the weight distribution on the longer bar--goals! So anyway for now I'm adding a 10KG bar to the home gym set up.

EOS this morning I promised little Kyle that I would get grandpa to go to the gym.  Craig did some of the machines, I squatted 75 so I was happy with a little progress and deadlifted 115.  I used the leg press machine and hamstring curl so we'll just call it leg day, after Grace yesterday.  Spent a little time in the recovery room, nice way to finish up.

Grace

7:01 @ 50lbs

3 Touch & Go @ 55lbs

1@ 57.5

I'm happy with today's results, apparently I have cleaned 65 previously so I still have some catch up to do. 

OH Squats

100 Ab Mat Sit Ups (I did 65)

50 Overheard Squats--progress, I graduated from PVC pipe to an empty bar

Time: 11:01

Little Pieces

 Little pieces of my garage gym are arriving.  Yesterday I got my big girl bar, ha-it really is a big girl bar, not made for old grannies!  I always use a training bar at CrossFit, there are some lifts I can use a regular bar on, but just the warm up is exhausting so I usually use a training bar (15lbs vs 35lbs). At home I now have no option, I gotta put that women's bar to use, it's the only one I have. 

And yeah, I got green, I figured it would clash nicely with my orange rig, which is on its way. A little lifting this morning with my new bar and pickleball class which was really fun.

Garage Paint

Run: 1 mile

75 Deadlifts

150 Ab Mat Situps

Time: 21:35 Run scaled, 75 Deadlifts@65lbs, 95 Ab Mat Situps

The garage wall needs a little touch up, but it's getting there, the rig is supposed to come Tuesday.

 

11.3

 AMRAP 5

1 Squat Clean

1 Jerk

Total=36, 18 each

Weight-well.....so the other day I was pretty happy seeing some heavier weights, today let's just say I'm driving in reverse.

Horse Stall Mats

 Pickleball class this morning, I finally did it and forced myself to move up to the advanced beginner class, it was good and nice to play again after a little hiatus.  This afternoon I lugged home 4 horse stall mats which are off gassing in the drive way and picked out a paint color for my gym wall in the garage.  I think the paint I picked might be too dark so I'm going to wait until the rig arrives before I paint.  I haven't ordered my rig, still vacillating again on the color. Right now I'm leaning toward orange for the rig and a dark gray for the paint. So does this mean I give up my CrossFit and EOS membership?  No,  I look at it this way, you just have to make it so convenient to lift that there are no excuses.

This is what I'm thinking with a kipping bar, it folds up into the garage wall so the cars can still go in. Like any project always takes me way longer than I think it should.

19.1

 15:00 AMRAP

19 Wall Balls

19 Calorie Row

4 Rounds even.

Back Squats

 Back at CrossFit today, back squats--60lbs for a set of 3.  Certainly not a PR but my weights are creeping back up.  I've been inconsistently doing MAPS and some mobility work while we were gone.

Another Day

 Another day of MAPS, I'm liking it, back to CrossFit soon.

MAPS Day 3

When you don't wanna run 7 400s:

4 sets of 10 backsquats (TBH I'm not sure what weight, the barbells aren't marked and I think it was 45lbs but it could have been 35-wouldn't you think I would know the difference?)  Added 5lbs for the last set

3 sets of tricep dips

 

Sandbag Carry

 They were like 90lb sandbags-so no way, I did a 30lb wall ball instead.  Deadlifts 10-8-6-4-2, my deadlifts are starting to come back, not near my old pr's but starting to see a little progress, 75-80-85-95-100.

Yoga class tonight.

MAPS Day 2

 Shoulder Press-4 sets of 10 @ 45lbs

Bench Press-3 sets of 10 @ 45, 50, 47.5

Both movements I had to break up into sets of 5, I also had to have a spot on the last  lift on each set of the bench presses. 

EOS

 Yoga this morning at EOS, I really like the instructor, and hopefully can get a little more yoga into my life. The gym is new and very nice, but to be honest I am lost in a regular gym.  Crossfit is easy, you go in, hang with and commiserate with your buddies over how bad the workout is going to be and then do it, coached all the way. 

I'm starting a MAPS strength cycle, it's every day, I probably won't do everyday but just plow through it. Today was three sets of dumbbell curls and 4 sets of deadlifts.

Echo Bike

Echo Bike and Hang Power Cleans, 4 rounds with a 2 minute rest between each. Total calories and cleans: 121 

5 LBS

5 lbs heavier on my deadlifts on a 21-15-9 programming, similar to last week.  I'll take it.

Yesterday

We went to PPA Masters, got to see all three doubles matches. The players are much bigger and the court much smaller than it looks on TV.

Today:  Did a workout that I had an old score from, today was faster but my weight was lighter, just struggling with "heavy".

Yoga

 First yoga class in many years.
