Today was fun CrossFit day –
Warmup
10,8,6 Cal On Rower
6,8,10 Squats, Jumping Pullups
Then we worked back squats which I’m actually pretty good at and shoulder presses (5 sets of 5 with 3 warmup sets) trying to nail the fundamentals that I’m weakest on - keeping the bar close to my body and moving forward under the weight with the goal of moving me up to an 18K bar, but I couldn’t quite (only just barely) get there. Funny (not in an amusing way) to watch that my left side is still much weaker from the break and damage from last winter so it always collapses first and/or just can’t push the weight like my right arm/shoulder. I’ll nail it next time, for sure, though.
Lastly jumped on the rower to put my baseline 500m row on the board. We’ve done it before but somehow neglected to record it so now I’m on the board at 2:08.6. It wasn’t really my strongest effort but I’ll take it as a baseline as that just means I’ll be able to kill it all the more when we next record it. Clearly I should be able to get it under 2 minutes in no time at all.
