February 14, 2012 - VDay Power Play

For strength: Push Press
then
8 Snatches
16 Wall Balls
24 Double Unders
4 Rounds for Time

Time: 00:10:35

Push press max of 115 pounds.  First time doing all out push presses so I "maxed out".  Wrists were still sore from Fran on Friday.  Did half of snatches at 75, then 65.  Felt really good about doing those.  Wall balls at prescribed 20 pounds, felt great about those with great depth.  Most of the double unders were done as singles with doubles mixed in. Kept the heart rate up and high and flew through this workout.  High heart rate, high results.  Great start to Valentines Day this morning!

WOD Feburary 10, 2021 - Fran

Fran
Thrusters
Pull ups
21-15-9
RX weight is 95 pounds

Time 00:13:33

I really warmed up for this.  Really really warmed up.  Did over half of the workout at 95 pounds as prescribed.  After my wrists started to give out I dropped down to 75 pounds and finished it off.  I've been working on not doing jumping pull ups and using the bands and doing a full pull up.  It's harder but I know it is making me better.  Took me a long time to do it, but I'm getting stronger and faster everyday.
About a month ago I couldn't even do five thrusters or better yet do Fran.  This was a success for a workout.

WOD February 3, 2012 - CINDY

5 Pull ups
10 Push ups
15 Squats
AMRAP 20 Min

Rounds: 11 + 29

Yes, I was one squat short of twelve rounds.  My body was starting descent when time was called.  It doesn't count.  But I still finished it.  Unofficially, 12 rounds.  Still doing the pull ups with the green band but progressed to not using the jumping method and really doing more pull up work.  Push ups were done full range of motion the first 5 rounds and then transitioned to knee pushups.  Still did at least one full pushup before dropping each round.
