Since last week's fiasco, I have been taking it easy. I took a rest day the next day, and then Friday just went to open gym to work on pull ups which didn't work out so well for me. I spent time this weekend with family in Pennsylvania, which meant that diet went out the window as my family is not exactly pro paleo, and no workouts got done.
Started back on Tuesday, and we had front squats for strength work, and double unders and push ups for the wod. Back in April, I PRd my front squat at 175, but haven't been able to get back to that since, I have been working off 165, and Tuesday was the first day I was able to finish all of my sets at the proper percentages for 165. I finished with 5 sets at 150 and was happy with that. The wod, was tiring, as push ups kill your arms and then you are unable to use them for double unders, but I made it with 7 rounds.
Wednesday, I went in the afternoon and the strength work was clean and jerks. Somehow I always miss cleans for strength days, always. My previous max on clean and jerks was 115, my jerk is 130, and the last time my limiting factor was the clean, I need to get some open gym time on that, but am only reminded of that when we work on clean and jerks, or cleans in a wod. I was able to get 120 up, though it was shaky. I stopped there as I didn't think form was too great and didn't want to injure myself. The wod was an every minute on the minute three dumbbell cleans, and three split jerks. I completed it as RXd.
I was reminded to write by looking at the lovely scabs on my forearms from rubbing against the ropes on the rings. We worked on weighted dips, of which I was able to do negatives and some banded work. The wod from yesterday was 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 heavy KB swings and ring dips. I used a 44# bell, as my back was tight from clean and jerks, and didn't want to pop my hip out again (RX was 52), and a blue band. I finished in 8:02.
Tomorrow is exciting as it is what I consider my 2 year anniversary.(with crossfit)
