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.

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.

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.

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.
