Press

Warm up:
2 x 15 back extentions
2 x @ 15 kippings
run a lap

Opened and closed the workout with kippings. I think their getting better. Ox said something about the swing being great. But it still feels like I'm flapping about. HOWEVER...I can do waaay more than before AND Evan said I should be adding maybe 1 extra every two weeks. Well, I've been practicing relatively reguarly and I think I've jumped it up more than that in a very short time. The ones I opened and closed with today were broken up in sets of four or five. Two weeks ago I could never have done MORE after one round of four or five, but today I just whipped them out.

ANYway...the WOD:
Shoulder Press, Push Press, Push Jerk
Sets of 3/3/3, upping the weight each time
Mine didn't quite go that way. Not sure why.

Shoulder Press:
55#
60# (only got 2.5)
55#

Push Press:
60#
70#
80# (1.5)
75# (did 3 more)

Push Jerk:
65#
75#
85# (2)
75# (3)

Wish I knew who's been excerising forever and who hasn't. Because I feel like I can't compete. Weird thing is, I've never considered myself competitive...but I think I've already talked about this here.

What I said on today's web postings was that to me...the aboslute hardest part of doing crossfit is not the strength or the endurance...it's the mental battle. It's all wrapped into a big package that dabbles in things like accomplishment, pride, the need to prove something, and forgetting that we are all at different places in this program. I think there's lots more but I'd rather you not know what goes on in my brain. It's a weird place.
