I really have to go through the workouts on the
Crossfit site and make a short list of the ones I'd like (for lack of a
better term) to do.
(thankfully I found a list of body weight only and a full list of the named WODs).
The WODs on the site are either out of my league most of the time or require equipment I don't have at the Y.
Granted
today I did the sensible thing an practiced what we learned on
Wednesday. I did the warmup some hang power clean with some weight (I
think around 50lbs) which is way different than with just the bar like
in practice. Then I did some front squats with 95lbs (3 rounds of 7
reps) tried to be explosive. Was going to try some Thrusters but I was
in the squat rack and I'm too tall, the bar would hit the top of the
rack, so I bailed.
Then I did some jump rope to practice my
double-unders. I'm not very good at it, but I'm getting better, I can
to 3 in a row now! Yay me!
I've
notice some very incremental improvements, my lower back is getting
stronger, hip extensions are getting easier, the shoulders are a bit
more flexible, I was able to do some over head squats during warm up
with a broomstick, and my form held together (mostly), so there is
progress.
But if this is really going to make a difference I
need to feel nauseous at the end, like I did Tuesday. Eventually that
will fade as I get used to the effort, but for now, that's my indicator
of a successful workout, and I didn't get that today.
Tomorrow. Maybe I'll do Chelsea or Cindy and see how that goes.
