23.5 Weeks. Getting Bigger Fast!

Warm Up: 2 mile walk/ run with Carter. 4 Rounds of: 7 KB swings (44lb), 7 Wall Balls, 10 bandedpull aparts, 10 Kipping Pullups

Strength: 25 Chin Ups done in sets of 3 (there was one or two sets of 2)

Conditioning: Regional Workout 12.5

- Snatch Ladder with 20 Double Unders before each snatch

In this event, you will work your way through a series of stations with progressively heavier barbells. Begin outside the first station. You will have 1 minute to complete all the work.

At each station, the 20 double-unders must be completed prior to attempting the snatch. At the call of "rotate," you will move to the next station and begin the double-unders. If you don't successfully snatch the barbell within the 1:00, he or she does not advance to the next platform. Continue doing 20 Double Unders each minute until the entire class is done with the workout down to the last person.

Women's weights (pounds): 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 95, 105, 115, 125, 135

I got up to 105, but I failed 3 times on it. I was getting the bar up high enough but I was not balanced underneath the bar and I kept falling forward. I also was not activating my shoulders or pressing up against the bar, so the weight just pressed down on me. I was so close to getting 105. I almost had it about 8 times! But I did go for a PR after the workout, which is 100, and I got it!

Extra Work: I did 40 extra double unders after the workout to make my total 200 for the day. All but one of my sets of 20 double unders were unbroken.

P.S. Shoulder Press is now the ONLY lift that I am under 100!! Now I have a new goal: Before the baby comes out, I want to get 100 on shoulder press. Brad- you are in charge of making that happen.
