So think on this...
What is the worst exercise torture you can think of to inflict on some poor unsuspecting soul on a beautiful Saturday morning??
Could it be anywhere close to dragging your feet along stuck to a weight (or in my case, a frisbee) while walking on your arms, trying to keep your back up, and movement going?? Then lifting 50lb of sand- shoulder to ground to shoulder repeatedly...THEN getting up and down as many times as you can?? ....then repeating this oh so pleasant experience 5 times????
This was the hell inflicted on us today. (Ok - I might be exaggerating a bit- I think the sandbag lunges may have been a tadbit worse!...but this is fresher in my mind) This particular workout did inflict some superficial injuries that are quite painful - semi-torn blister on the palm of my hand (Zowie!!) and small rugburn on my knee (hurts like a mother$$ in the shower!) I think Shannon must be super woman - because her palm was much worse, and I know she did back and forth on the plate drag, with 25lb plate!!! She's amazing! I believe I did better on the plate drag than last time, although my plate was just a frisbee, at least I made it across the line for all 5 miserably torturous rounds. Final score was 126.
Last night however, was Cross Fit Total. Now this one is excellent!! Make me feel STRONG like Gorilla! I think I actually did hit my max on back squat, not just the highest attempted so far. It was 235.. up from 225 last time. Overhead press- I'm in a 100lb rut....bouncing back and forth, so need to do something to bring that up. BUT Deadlifts, I think they finally clicked for me....I hit 255, up from 225, and I know I could have done more. YAY! Deadlifts finally felt good for me...never cared for them much before then. CFT score - 590.
Now, here's something interesting, Patty - you said you had DEFY! pop up when you looked at your blog this morning - guess what popped up for me??? ...a denture ad..what do you suppose THAT is saying??? I know I've always attracted toothless men in a special way - but really? is the computer mocking me or what? Evil, just evil.
