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.
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 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
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.
I took a week off from CrossFit last week, not with intention, just kinda happened. It's always hard to get the motivation to go when you've taken a little time off, so much easier to stay home or go to pickleball. I went.....which will make tomorrow easier to do. I also got a message that I only need three more check ins to make Foundry Fanatics for the month of July, I didn't think I was that close. Funny how something basically meaningless is so motivating, may be I should look at Foundry Fanatics as meaningful, obviously it is because I will go three more times before the end of the week!
Today's workout was a complex of Power Snatch + Hang Power Snatch, my numbers were: 35, 40, 45, 45, 45 I attempted 50 and it didn't happen.
Followed by Legless Rope climb, Power snatches
2 Legless rope climbs
4 Power Snatches
add 1 power snatch every round
I thought I would scale the legless rope climb with regular rope climbs, but todays scale was ring rows which I didn't mind.
I got 7 rounds + 10
I haven't played a tournament in awhile, I played up and really struggled, even with the simplest of shots. Some days are like that, but then someone dropped out of fixed doubles so they asked me and Craig to stay and play. That was an extremely reluctant yes but I'm glad we did, I redeemed myself, we only lost one of our matches. I'm not sure how we placed, when we were done, we were done, it had been a long day so we didn't stay for results and I haven't seen them posted yet. Feeling good about the end.
PR'd my deadlift today at 157, I tried to do 159.5 and failed. Backsquats today also, just not feeling like pushing them.
Last week's round robin was very frustrating I felt like I played well and ended up DFL. Yeah, stats don't lie so that's how I played. This week was a bit of redemption, no a lot of redemption, I moved up to 5th--I'll take it!
Did an upper body workout at home, I was hoping to pr my bench, nope not happening today but I did get three good consecutive pull ups. Checking out pulley systems to add to my garage gym.
No not us! We pickled them! The thing is, this is not a gloat because the same people could easily turn the tables on us, but just for this morning I gotta put it in writing because it's my first. Good morning of pickleball, one game went 14-12 and to be honest I can't remember if we won or lost it, the rallies were so good.
I did a very definitive senior citizen thing yesterday, I bought Skechers pickleball shoes, I have an ongoing saga of problematic shoe issues, whether it's the lack of selection in my size, the cut around my ankles, the toe box etc. They had a buy 1 get one 1/2 off so of course that means I had to buy two pairs. What can I say, we had a good morning with me wearing my new shoes! Just don't tell Brent---
Played pickleball last night, pretty evenly matched, drilled this morning and pr'd my power cleans at Crossfit, I cleaned 72, not sure how I did that and it is not currently repeatable, I had to drop weight to finish.
AMRAP 14
Handstand Walk, Knees to Elbows, KB Swings
I forgot how heavy my kettlebell was but I used the heaviest one I've ever used. Pickleball drills before CrossFit.
Tonight I worked on balance when being pulled wide and getting back and ready to take a middle shot, also on a little strategy, breaking up this sequence with a lob. I feel like I get pulled off and become very defensive and then forget all about trying to take back any offensive shots. It's frustrating. Sunday I played really well as far as returning shots but not coming through with the winners, which makes for too many lost games. Practice went well and Kolbe definitely identified some footwork and ready mistakes I was (still am) making.
Crossfit this morning was:
AMRAP 2 Deadlifts
AMRAP 19
4 Strict Pull Ups
11 Box Jumps
13 Hand Release Push Ups
23 Cal Bike
AMRAP 2
Deadlifts
I'm not sure what all my totals were but altogether I got 165 reps, I did jumping pull ups and was really happy with them in each round. The hand release pushups also went better than I expected,
Yesterday's pickleball drilling went way better than Wednesdays. Last night we went to see the Scorpions play which was really fun, it was also nice to see the pros up close make those same mistakes I make, maybe a whole lot less often though!
Crossfit this morning was deadlifts and burpee box jump overs, start with 3 each, add three each round, I finished 5 rounds + 6.
I've got one year to get ready for a pickleball event Craig scheduled for us. Off to a not great start drilling this morning despite having a cute new skirt.
20 Minutes to a heavy set of 3
I did 79.5 for 3 and got 2 in @80.5, failed the 3rd. I just checked and that was exactly the same as I did in April for a heavy set of 3....oh well.
Very light power snatches, a few good complete rope climbs.
Partnered up with Margie today for Hero Ned
7 Rounds
11 BW Backsquats (the BW may have been scaled)
800M Row
Each athlete does all the back squats and split the row, that was my saving grace.
Time: 31:32
21-15-9
HSPU
Ring Dips
Push Ups
I was going to scale 15-9-3 after doing 15-9 I decided to finish with 21. I forgot my time somewhere around 11-12
