Tubing

 Spent the day on the lake with the grandkids--no Crossfit--why I Crossfit?  I always think about Crossfit in terms of how heavy (not heavy) I'm lifting, today when I was out on the tube with the grandkids, I realized how I take my grip strength for granted.  We never really measure it, it's just a byproduct of all the bar work we do, something I never really think about until....just being able to hang on with the kids.

Power Cleans

 3-3-3-3-3

Why are my cleans not getting better? Let me answer that for myself, I'm pulling too soon, not getting under the bar, not keeping the bar path close, not jumping hard and high enough, and slow turnover of my elbows.  Is there another component I'm doing wrong, if it exists it should be on my list.  The ironic thing is it is a lift I really like.

On a better note golf last night was really fun.

Muscle Up Annie

 15:02, it was ok, dumb practice (that was a typo for dub practice, but it kinda fits), RMU practice and a whole lot of sit ups.

Pickleball last night, who does an outdoor lesson when it's 115? Still good lesson.  Golf tonight.

Ring Rows, Pushups and Back Squats

 Ring rows and pushups were a scale for ring muscle ups, I like the fact that my pushups are getting stronger and I can do more.  Back squats we had to be able to do unbroken, I chose 65lbs, probably should have pushed a little heavier.

Went to Fritz after, lost 1, won 1, called it good.

But Did I Touch

 I kinda sorta got a toes to bar today, I'm just not absolutely positive my toes hit that bar, if not it was close, very, very close.  Lots of box jumps, stressing out on the 20", came home and did three consecutive jumps on the 20" then stressed out again.  I used 18" for the WOD.

24 Dubs--they're coming along

12 Toes 2 Bar

12 Box Jumps

Every 2 minutes you stop dubs and t2b and do 12 box jumps.

I got 4 rounds.

Golf and Crossfit

 Golf last night was really fun, I think it'll be like pickleball, a lifetime to never master it, but it is fun trying (most of the time).

CrossFit was:

5x3:00 rounds for reps

15/20 Calorie Row (I did 10)

20 Alternating hand dB snatches

Max dB facing burpees

Count the burpees=55

I Can Stilll Do It

 Last night was my pickleball lesson, I worked on things that frustrated me in the tournament on Sunday.  Kolbe encouraged me to play more at Fritz. I played this morning and was very happy with the points I got and had a good time.

BUT... that means if I'm going to get my three Crossfit check ins before the end of the month I have to go Wed, Thurs, and Friday.  Still time...

Golf tonight.
