Monday, 4.30.12 (23 Weeks Preg.)

Warm Up: 2.9-3ish mile run/jog/walk with Carter. 50 Push ups. 100 Double Unders. 3 rounds of: 5 high wall balls, 5 push ups, 5 hip and back extentions, 5 ring rows

Strength: Push Jerk 3-3-3-3-3

35x3, 55x3, 75x3, 90x3, 105x3, 115x3, 130x3 (fail, dropped on second rep), 130x3 (PR)

Push jerks felt good today, although now I have that feeling between my shoulder blades again (like I did a few months ago) where it feels like it needs to crack but it might be a pinched nerve. Brad almost killed me when he cracked my back today, and I think he cracked every bone in my body except for the spot I needed it to. So that tells me that it may be a pinched nerve since it cant be cracked. Ugh!

Conditioning: Five rounds for time of:
- Bear Crawl- 25 yards
- 50 Squats

10:39 (with 45 second Carter mishap included)

Carter got stuck in his stroller and his neck was caught on the food tray thing in the front, so I had to run across the room on my 4th round to save him and hug him and give him more snacks so I could finish! I totally could have done this workout under 10 minutes if it wasnt for that.

500m Cooldown Row

Saturday, 4.28.12

Warm Up: 750m Row, 50 double unders, 5 squats, 5 toes to bar, 5 wall balls, 2x200m jog to the bathroom! I have to pee like crazy today!

Conditioning: "Bradley"
10 rounds for time of:
- Sprint 100 meters
- 10 Pull Ups
- Sprint 100 meters
- 10 Burpees

** Rest 30 seconds between rounds w/ 35:00 cap time

33:33 rx'd

This is including the bathroom break and the thirty second chase down Carter to take him back to the play room. So I am thinking my time should have been closer to 32:00 or less. This workout sucked and I am currently having braxton hicks contractions. I also couldnt breathe for a good minute after I was finished, even though I had several 30 second breaks within the workout. Must have been those last 10 burpees that totally killed me.

Friday, 4.27.12

Warm Up: 1.5 mile run with Carter. 2 rounds of: 25 double unders, 5 front squats (65lbs, toes straight). 2 rounds of: 25 double unders, 5 overhead squats (65lbs, toes straight). 2 rounds of: 25 double unders, 5 back squats ( 65lbs, toes straight). 2 rounds of: 25 double unders, 5 full squat cleans (65lbs). 3 rounds of: 5 air squats, 5 push ups, 5 back extentions, 5 wall balls.

Total Double Unders for warm up: 200         Total Squat Variations: 40 @ 65lbs

Strength: Clean. Find 1rm

65x3, 75x3, 85x2, 100x2, 115x1, 125x1, 135x1, 145x1, 150x0 (failed 3 times), 150x1 (PR!! +20lbs)

I guess the long warm up is what I needed to get a fricking huge PR today! My last PR was 130, so I totally killed it today and was very happy. I did fail 3 times on 150 before I got it! And it didnt even feel too bad! It really does go to show that once you get better at the technique you can do so much more weight. Thanks, Brad, for teaching me all I know =)

Conditioning: As many rounds as possible in 7:00 of:
- 3 Deadlifts (165/105#)
- 2 Cleans
- 1 Ground to Overhead (no thrusters however)

9 rds + 4 rx'd

Really good workout. My legs were killing me from all the squats I did today, so I took more time resting on those than I really wanted to. I liked this workout because it was short and had all strength involved. Its amazing how strength workout like this can feel like a cardio workout after just a minute!

Extra: 2.5 mile walk with Carter at lagoon valley

Thursday, 4.26.12

Warm Up: 2250m Row, 800m Run, 3 rounds of: 5 sqquats, 5 push ups, 5 hip and back extentions, 5 pull ups, 5 band pull aparts, sampson stretch

Strength: Overhead Squat 3-3-3-3-3

35x3, 65x3, 85x3, 95x3, 105x3, 115x3, 122x3

Not really sure whether I am happy with this or not. I should have just jumped to 125 or 130 to see if I could do it. 122 was pretty tough though and I almost lost my balance a few times. My 1RM is 135, so 122 was at my 90%.

Conditioning: Alternating between movements:
- 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of: Overhead Squat (65% of today's heaviest set)
- 20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2 reps of: Box Jumps (24/20")

14:44 @ 80lbs

65% would have been 78lbs, so I just bumped it up to 80. My wrists were so sore though and I felt like my shoulders were shot and werent staying activated like they should, so I had to drop the bar in the middle of rounds 9,8, and 7. Round 10 and 6-1 were all unbroken OHS. My thighs,butt, and arms are KILLING me right now from all I have done this week. Definitely looking forward to my Sunday rest day! I may go to lagoon valley later and walk/jog around the lake with the kiddo just to try to run out my soreness. Staying still never does anything for me, just makes me more sore. Thats why I dont belive in full out rest days.....I still gotta be active.

Wednesday, 4.25.12

Pre Warm Up (right when I got there): 5k- 25:48

Right when I walked in the door, Brad said "lets go run," so we did before the 9:30 class started. My time was not too bad for being pregnant and not having any warm up! I did feel like I couldnt really pick up the pace at the end when Brad told me to, so that sucked. I felt really heavy and fat on the last mile =) But I am happy to say I never stopped running.

Warm Up: 3 rounds of: 8 back extentions, 8 good mornings, 8 Overhead walking lunges (on each side, 25lb plate), 8 thrusters (45lbs)

Conditioning: For time:
- Run 800 meters
10 rounds of the couplet:
- 5 Handstand Push Ups
- 10 Pistols (5 each leg)
Then
- Run 800 meters

24:35 with 65lb shoulder press, some push presses, and full pistols

Even though I did full pistols, I had to use a bench to help me balance because I kept falling over today. I guess you really do lose your balance when you are pregnant. I am dead tired after 4 miles, 100 pistol squats, and 50 shoulder presses today.

Tuesday, 4.24.12

22 weeks looking disgusting right after my workout

Warm Up: 1 Mile jog/walk with Carter, 5 rounds of: 15 wall balls, 250m Row (75 WB total, 1250m total). 3 rounds of: 3 knees to elbows, 2 toes to bar, 1 knees to bar, 10 KB swings (44lbs), 10 weighted walking lunges (25lb plate)

Strength: Pull Ups-25 reps of hardest variation

35 strict pullups in sets of 3 and 2 and 1

So I got to 15 doing sets of 3, and it felt easy. Then all of a sudden my right shoulder started to crack on the way down from the pull ups, so I had to jump down from the bar alot to stretch it out. Not sure what that was all about but it HURT. Maybe my joints were all messed up from all the push ups yesterday? The last 10 pull ups I widened my grip so that I could use more of my back muscles and not just my shoulders. It felt weird and different, not neccessarily easier, but Brad said they looked better than my normal narrow pull ups so I will have to practice that more.

Conditioning: 10 x 100 yard Sprints. Walk back.

11:30 rx'd

The first 3 sprints I wasnt getting the pose running down because I could figure out how to do it fast, but then the next 7 I figured it out. I think I am getting a lot better at pose running from the runs I have been doing with Carter! This was a good workout and I am glad that "walking" back was perscribed in the workout instead of "jogging" back.

Monday, 4.23.12 (22 Weeks Preg.)

Warm Up: 1250m Row, 2 rounds of: 8 push ups, 8 sit ups, 8 ring rows. Then I did 4 sets of: 400m run, 1 rope climb (1 mile total and 4 rope climbs). 2 rounds of: 6 burpees, 8 box jumps, 10 KB swings (44lbs), 12 double unders

Strength: Bench Press. Find 1 rm

35x4, 65x3, 85x3, 105x1, 115x0 (failed twice), 110x1 (PR!)

I was very close to getting 115, but I couldnt do it. I felt a lot of stretching in my stomach trying to push it up too, so I just stopped. Maybe next time. I also got a lovely new nickname today which made me laugh too much, which may have hindered my bench press performance today. I did PR by 5 pounds though so thats always good.

Conditioning: 7 Rounds of:
- Max push ups
- Double unders (3x pushups)

Push Up Total= 105 (15 each round),  Double Under Total=315 (45 each round)

I revised the main workout a lot today. I cant do many push ups so instead of doing max push ups I made a set number of 15 to complete for each round. I also added 2 more rounds than the original so that I could get to or over 100 push ups.

Saturday, 4.21.12

Warm Up: 800m Row, 2 rounds of: 5 wall balls, 5 push ups, 5 sit ups, 5 hip & back extentions, 25 double unders

Conditioning:
- Run 800m with a weighted object
- 50 Burpees
- 100 Double Unders
- Run 800m with a weighted object

18:31 with 25lb plate

This workout was supposed to be done with 1/3 of your body weight, but I didnt feel like going that high today because of the braxton hicks I have been having. My first 800m I ran in 5:10, and the last 800m I ran in just under 6:00. And the fire hydrant we ran to is actually over 800m (about 850-900m).

Extra Work: 1250m Cooldown Row

Back Squat: 35x3, 65x3, 105x3, 125x3, 145x3 (practiced straight toes)

1.5 Mile Walk with Carter

Friday, 4.20.12

Warm Up: 2 mile jog/walk with Carter (Pose run), 3 rounds of: 8 good mornings, 8 back extentions, 8 sit ups, 8 push ups, 8 squats with toes straight and knees out

Strength: Deadlift - Find your 5rm

85x5, 105x5, 145x5, 175x5, 205x5, 230x5, 235x5

Wanted to go up more, but probably shouldnt anymore. Plus I have been having a lot of braxton hicks today, and they do NOT feel very good.

Conditioning:
- 100 Pullups

40 strict, 60 kip

Did not do this workout for time because I am trying to work more on strict pullups. I can do kipping easily, so I wanted more of a challenge. I was able to do a few sets of 3 strict, but mostly I was doing 1-2 as I got more tired. I changed up my grip too so that I practiced with one palm away and one palm facing me and I also did regular strict pull ups with both palms facing away. It is pretty exhausting doing that many strict with how much extra weight I have on me now. In fact, I got a blister that almost opened with 15 pullups left. It is currently throbbing as I type!

1.5 mile cooldown WALK with Carter....gotta get tan!

Thursday, 4.19.12

Warm Up: 2 mile run with Carter (pose running), 4 rounds of: 5 wall balls, 5 burpee pull ups, 5 sit ups, 5 KB swings, 5 front squats (35lb bar), 3 strict pull ups.

Strength: Front Squats: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

65x3, 85x3, 105x2, 115x1, 125x1, 135x1, 145x1, 155x1, 165x1, 175x1, 185x1 (PR)

Could have gone up 5-10 pounds, but Kim had just told me a disgusting story about a prolapsed something (thats all I will say about it!) and after that I was good with my 185 PR.

Conditioning: As many rounds possible in 12:00:
-5 one-arm Kettlebell Thrusters (each side)
-5 one-arm Kettlebell Snatches (each side)

7rds + 5 thrusters @ 35lbs

This was really hard but a great workout. The weight was manageable, but I wouldnt have been able to go up to 44lbs thats for sure. My snatches felt good on both arms, but my thrusters are very weak on my left arm. I started off going the first 4 rounds in 1:30 each round, but after that I started to speed up to 1:15-1:20 per round. Weird how that happens even though I was more tired. I guess I started getting the technique down faster.

Wednesday, 4.18.12

Warm Up: 1.5 mile run with Carter in stroller (pose running), 150 double unders, Shoulder press (55x3, 65x3, 75x3, 85x1, 95x0), 3 rounds of: 5 pull ups, 6 push ups, 9 sit ups, 12 overhead walking lunges (25lb plate). Then did 15 more pull ups.

Skill:  More Shoulder Press, double unders, and Pull ups

65x3, 25 double unders, 5 pull ups (kip), 75x3, 25 double unders, 5 pullups (kip), 85x2, 25 double unders, 5 pull ups (strict), 90x1, 25 double unders, 5 pull ups (strict)

Total Double Unders Today: 250       Total Pull Ups Today: 50 (10 of them were strict)

I need to start working on more strict pull ups. I have the kipping down and I most likely wont lose that skill, but I need to maintain strength with strict pullups as I get bigger.

Conditioning: For fastest Row time:
8 x 250m Row (rest 2-3 minutes in between each)

55.7 (slowest), 54.5, 53.2 (fastest), 53.6, 54.3, 54.0,  55.1, 54.8

Tuesday, 4.17.12

Warm Up: 1 mile run with POSE running, 3 rounds of: sampson stretch, 6 toes to bar, 5 deadlift, 4 clean pulls, 3 hang cleans, 2 power cleans, 1 clean (all with empty 45lb bar)

Strength: Power Cleans - 5x3 @ 85% 1RM

35x3, 55x3, 65x3, 85x3, 95x3, 105x1, 5x3 @ 115

I wish I would have tried 120 because I think I could have done 3, but thats ok. My 1RM is 130, so doing 5 sets at 115 was hard work enough. I need to sork on snapping the bar and pulling under it faster so that my elbows come out in front.

Conditioning: Max Rounds in 3 minutes of:
- Power Cleans @ 65% of today's weight
- 6 Sit Ups
- 9 Air Squats

21complete rounds + 4 (3 PC and 1 sit up) @ 85lbs

65% of 115 is 75, but I wanted to go a little higher. Power cleans are not too hard exspecially with lower weight and lower reps, so I think 85-90lbs was good for this workout. My legs were killing me on the squats, though! I normally am able to squat very fast without getting fatigued, but not today!

Monday, 4.16.12 (21 Weeks Preg.)

Warm Up: 2250m Row, 100 Double Unders, 2 Rope Climbs, 45 pullups, 20 push ups

Strength: Push Press - 3RM

35x3, 55x3, 65x3, 75x3, 85x3, 95x3, 105x3, 115x3, 120x3 (PR!)

Conditioning: "Crushing Helen"
8 Rounds for time of:
- 100m Sprint
- 8 Kettlebell Swings (heaviest possible)
- 5 Plyo Push Ups (or hardest pushup variation)

12:14 @ 44lb kettlebell

I wouldnt call what I did "sprinting" for the 100m sprint, but I didnt jog. And obviously I can and want to go heavier on the kettlebell but I can't for a long time now. The push ups were hard but I made sure to do them all unbroken.

Cooldown (kindof): 55 pullups in sets of 5-7. 

Total Pullups Today: 100!! This was probably overkill because now my arms are KILLING me, but I want to try to keep it up as I get heavier. Besides, I think the baby likes it....he was moving like crazy!

Saturday, 4.14.12

Warm Up: 650m Row, 2 Rounds of: 7 cleans (one round with 35lb bar, one round with med. ball), 7 SDHP, 14 sit ups

Conditioning: "Badger". 
3 Rounds of
- 30 Cleans (95/65#)
- 30 Pull Ups
- 800m Run

36:09 rx'd

It kills me that I was so close to getting under the cap time of 35 minutes because I know I made myself take breaks so that I could still breathe and talk. Craig kept reminding me to take it easy, so I was doing that, but I still felt like I could have gone a minute or 2 faster. My pull ups felt great today and those only took me about 2-3 minutes each round. My cleans are what I took more breaks on and they took me about 4-5 minutes. The runs were more of a jog with my fastest time being 4:00ish and my slowest was 4:40ish. So I definitely feel like I could have knocked a few seconds off the runs and the cleans, but thats ok. I am 5 months pregnant and I did it rx'd, so I cant complain.

Friday, 4.13.12

Warm Up: 2250m Row, 3 rounds of: 5 back extentions, 5 straightleg snatchgrip deadlifts, 5 overhead squats, 10 pull ups. Then did 2 green banded sprints and 10 more pull ups.

Strength: Power Snatch. Find 1RM

35x5, 55x5, 65x4, 75x3, 85x2, 95x1, 100x0 (tried and failed 3 times)

I will get 100 someday if it kills me. I am not getting my snatch form down, in fact I feel like I am getting worse, and I know thats what is preventing me from getting the higher weight.

Conditioning: "Randy".
For time:
- 75 Power Snatches (75/45#)

8:5? or 9:00 @ 55lbs

I lost some time because Kyle turned off the clock. So not really sure what my official time was, but it was right around what I put. I also decided to do 55lbs instead of 45 because I wanted a longer workout, even if it was only a minute or two.

Thursday, 4.12.12

Warm Up: 1100m Row, 5 rounds of: 5 squats, 5 push ups, 5 pull ups, 5 Russian KB swings (53lbs), 15 double unders

Strength: Shoulder Press 3-3-3-3-3

35x5, 55x3, 65x3, 70x3, 75x3, 80x3, 85x2, 85x2

My shoulder presses felt really good today, but for some reason I could not get the 3rd rep at 85. I got the bar up to the top of my head both times, but not high enough to push my head through.

Conditioning: 3 Rounds for time of:
- 20 Wall Balls (20/14# to 10 feet)
- 10 Ring Rows
- 400m Run

14:14 rx

I lost about 45 seconds on the first round because my rings broke! I fell on the ground, but I didnt get hurt so its cool. I had to wait for a few seconds for another set of rings to open up that werent too low to the ground. My runs also felt pretty slow today. Must be all the weight I am gaining because of all the crap I eat. I have been eating well today though!

Extra Work: 150 Double Unders. I got 63 in a row!! (PR!!)

Wednesday, 4.11.12

Warm Up: 1.5 Mile Run, 1050m Row, 3 round of: 7 thrusters (35lb bar), 7 band pull aparts, 7 back extentions, 7 push ups

Skill: Hang Power Cleans

35x5, 55x5, 65x5, 75x3, 85x3, 95x2 (Warmed up till I got to the conditioning weight)

-Muscle Up Practice: Did muscles ups starting with knees on the ground and pushing up from a dip on the rings.

Conditioning: "Nasty Girls".
3 Rounds of:
- 50 Squats
- 7 Muscle Ups
- 10 Hang Power Clean (135/85)

13:26 with knees on ground muscle ups and 95# hang power cleans

Wanted to do the 4 pullups/4 dips for one muscle up, but I am sick of doing so many pullups lately and needed a break. I was too tired for that many pull ups today, so I did muscle ups starting with knees on the floor, which actually arent very hard.

Cooldown: 50 Wall Balls, 1.5ish mile walk (maybe 2 miles)

Tuesday, 4.10.12

Warm Up: 5:00 Row (1100m), 4 Rounds of: 5 wall balls, 5 pull ups, 5 back extentions. Then 10 more pull ups and 10 more wall balls

Strength: Deadlift 70%x3, 80%x3, 90%xMax Reps

85x5, 125x5, 155x3, 175x3, 195x3, 225x3, 240x3

240 is not 90% of my 1RM (276), but I was not feeling too strong today. And I stopped at only 3 reps because I started to feel some pulling. I am not able to use a belt anymore either, so the higher weight feels harder.

Conditioning: Reps of 21-15-9:
- Deadlift @ 155#
-Shoulder Press @65#

12:??

After the workout, I did a round of 6 and a round of 3 for both deadlift and shoulder press as a cooldown. My shoulders got tired pretty fast on the shoulder press throughout this workout. The deadlifts werent bad at all.

3:00pm: 100 Burpees in 17 minutes. Not going for time, just did sets of 5,6,7,8, and 10 while watching T.V. I have been eating HORRIBLY for a while now, so I needed something to get me to stop. Burpees did it.

Monday, 4.9.12 (20 Weeks Preg.)

Warm Up: 2250m Row, 100 Double Unders, 2 Rope Climbs, 3 rounds of: sampson stretch, 8 prisoner squats, 8 push ups 8 pull ups. Then 26 extra Pull ups, 6 extra push ups.

Total Pull Ups: 50             Total Push Ups: 30

Strength: Back Squat 70%x 3, 80%x 3, 90%x Max Reps

35x5, 65x5, 85x5, 125x3, 145x3, 165x3, 185x3

Could have done one more at 90% but I would have had to strain too much, and I don't want to chance pulling anything.

Conditioning: 5 Rounds of:
- 10 Burpee Pull Ups
- 10 Kettlebell Swings
- 10 KB Goblet Squats

20:55 @ 44lb Kettlebell and high bar burpee pull ups

I went to the high bar for the burpee pull ups because that is where I have done them before in other workouts, but it was ALOT harder today with everything I did earlier. I think the high bar is 6-12inches above my vertical reach. I had to do sets of 2-3 in order to not hit failure on them. The burpee pull ups took me about 3 minutes to do each round because I took lots of breaks so my heart rate and breathing wasnt too high. I wanted to stick out the high bar, though, because I knew I could finish even if it took me longer to do.

30 Wall Balls in sets of 5 for cooldown

Saturday, 4.7.12

Warm Up: 1300m Row, 3 rounds of: 5 pull ups, 5 ring dips, 5 sit ups, 5 overhead squats w/ bar

Conditioning: Partner workout 5 rounds for time (or 35 min. cap time)
- 400m Run (must be done together, with one partner carrying 15# plate)
- 50 Squats
- 40 Sit Ups
- 30 Push Ups
- 20 Pull Ups
- 10 Burpees

4 rds + 400m run in 35 minutes

I partnered up with Laura. I had to carry the 15lbs for all the 400m runs while she stayed and rowed. I also did the pull ups (only 15 each round) because she is 36 weeks pregnant and cannot do them anymore. It was a pretty good work out, but Laura scared me to death because she had 2 contractions! I think we were going too hard.

Friday, 4.6.12

Warm Up: 400m Run, 1100m Row, 4 rounds of: 7 band pull aparts, 7 pull ups, 7 push ups, 7 overhead squats (45lb bar), 25 double unders, 1100m Row to finish

Warm up took me 30 minutes to do because it was long and I was talking forever.

Strength: Power Snatch

55x5, 65x4, 75x2, 85x1, 95x1 (PR!!), 100x0

Not good form today. I was bringing the bar out in front of me instead of fully extending my hips and arms and shrugging my shoulders and keeping it close. Not sure what was up.

Farmers Walk, length of the black mat

140x2, 180x1, 220x1, 260x1, 280x1, 300x 3 feet....haha!

Conditioning: For time
- Run 800m
- 30 Toes to Bar

7:26    Short workout because I had to get to work! Took me 2 hours to get through all this stuff today!

Almost 20 Weeks

 Overhead squats...

 You can kind of see that I am pregnant...

I wish I didnt have baggy shorts on so that you can see the tummy better. And yes, I got my game face on.

Thursday, 4.5.12

Warm Up: 8:00 Row (1750m), 3 rounds of: 7 band pull aparts, 7 wall balls, 7 sit ups, 7 overhead walking lunges with empty bar

Strength: Split Jerk 3-3-3-3-3

35x3, 65x3, 85x3, 95x3, 105x3, 115x3, 125x3 (PR)

Last time I got 125x2.5, so I finally got three! Probably shouldnt have gone up that high, but other than squatting and thrusters, which bother me now, I think I am ok to go higher with weight with most other lifts. And I think my 1RM should be higher that this now that I split jerked it 3 times. I should have kept going to see.

Conditioning: Reps of:
- 60-50-40-30-20-10 - Double Unders
- 6-5-4-3-2-1- Overhead Squat - snatched from the floor

7:53 @ 80lbs

The original workout was only to 20 double unders and 2 OHS, but I accidently did 10 and 1 at the end because I didnt know that. And the rx'd weight was 65lbs, but that felt WAY too easy so I went up to 80lbs. I had a hard time snatching it up the last 3 rounds and had to try 2-3 times, but once I did I felt like I got a better workout with the extra weight I added. Double unders felt good today too.

Extra Work: Reps of:
-50-40-30-20-10- Double Unders
-5-5-5-5-5- Overhead Squats @ 65lbs

Not timed, but I think it took me around 8-9 minutes. I was resting and talking to people in between. I didnt feel tired after the main workout so I added more after.

Wednesday, 4.4.12

Warm Up: 8:00 Row (1750m), 4 rounds of: 10 ring rows, 10 push ups, 10 box jumps, 10 hollow rocks

Skill: Max distance Broad Jump.  5 jumps.

6'5", 6'6", 6'7", 6'9", 6'9"

Conditioning: As many rounds as possible in 8:00:
- 14 Kettlebell Swings @ 44lbs
- 7 Pull Ups

6 complete Rounds + 9 KB swings

After the metcon, I decided to finish the 7th round and complete one more round to make 8. I also did some more pullups to cooldown because I am trying to keep up my pullup strength through my pregnancy. And now my hands are killing me!!

Total KB Swings= 112                Total Pull Ups=70

4:00 (800m) Cooldown Row

Tuesday, 4.3.12

Warm Up: 2300m Row, 3 rounds of: sampson stretch, 7 Russian KB swings, 7 knees to bar, 21 double unders

SWOD: Cleans (Full and Power Cleans)

65x5, 75x5, 85x4, 95x3, 105x2, 115x1, 125x1, 135x1 (failed 3 times)

I did full cleans all the way through 105x2, and then the last 3 sets of 1 I did power cleans. I almost got the 135, but it wasnt going to happen and we had to get on to the metcon. My cleans felt great today!

Conditioning: 6 rounds for Time
- 15 Sumo Deadlift High Pull (95/65#)
- 60 yrd Sprint

10:??

I walked back into the gym at 10:30, but the time officially stops after the 60 yrd sprint. So I would say my real time was around 10:00 flat. I had to take two breaks that were rather larger because I hit myself in the throat and chin with the sumo deadlift high pulls. That hurts. Also, my sprint were not really sprints. I have a cold and can't breathe, so it was more like fast running while trying to catch my breath, but I defininitley cannot say I was sprinting.

1300m Cooldown Row

Monday, 4.2.12 (19 Weeks Preg.)

Warm Up: 2300m Row, 3 rounds of: 7 wall balls, 7 sit ups, 7 pull ups, 7 kettlebell swings

Strength: Front Squat 3-3-3-3-3

35x3, 65x3, 85x3, 115x3, 125x3, 135x3, 145x3, 155x3 (PR, I think)

Once I got to 115, it felt a little weird going down as low as I normally go for squats. To save Brad from reading all the "gross" details, I will get say it felt very heavy down "under" (like something, or lots of things, could possibly fall out...thats not too descriptive, right?) when the weight got heavier, so I had to not go down as far. I used a wall ball so that I made sure I stopped just below parallel and then came back up. Not sure if I like this kind of squatting because it didnt feel like I was doing much for my legs because the squat distance felt very short. I am too used to going all the way down, but I guess its going to have to be like this for a few months if I want to do more weight than 115!

Conditioning: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of:
- Push Press (115/75#)
- Burpees - touching a 1-foot mark above your max reach

10:56 rx

Did the push presses easily, but the burpees took me some time to figure out. I did round 10, 9, and 8 pretty slow but by round 7 I figured out how to do the burpees faster. I would put my chest down first and roll slowly and controlled onto my stomach and then pushed myself up quickly so I was hardly putting any weight on the baby. After I figured that out, I did the last 7 rounds in about 4ish minutes. I am happy to say that I felt like I worked hard even with taking breaks to keep down my heart rate.
