Lizzy turns a Turkish 50.

Another couple day - I'm slackin' bad!

Wednesday

Elizabeth - 21/15/9   Cleans/Ring Dips.  Again, Cleaning - not my favorite, but like the snatches with Randy, if I do enough of them that I'm tired, apparently they look ok.  Strangely enough form gets better the more tired I am.  Less thinking that way.  This one is a bit of a burner - much more so than you would think at first glance.  First of all, the Cleans were full squat cleans.  So you're throwing the bar up, catching it in the low front squat position, then standing up with it.  I only did these at 75#, this is one that I've never done before, so I wasn't really certain where to go.  Ironically the dips were the easy part.  The caveat though is that they were on the bars and with foot assist.   I can do one or two dips with decent range of motion (I wouldn't classify it as full by any means!), but need the foot assist for more.    Overall, I actually, surprisingly kind of liked this one.  I finished last, time was 13:03, and I believe I was the only girl doing more than 50 lbs in my group.

Filthy 50 done in stations - 2 rounds.  I have to admit, I think I like this version.  Although, in reality, to get close to the brutality of true F-50, we would probably need to add in at least one more round, but probably 2.   I did this one as prescribed I think......

I question the KTE's primarily because I know with pullups, when you put your feet down, there's always that bit of a jump that you don't even realize that you're getting - so I can't imagine it being different with KTE's.   I tried not to jump, but I can't be certain because my feet did stop on the box.  So, the jump or actually more of a push, may still be there..so, I don't know if I'm black, or just a dark shade of gray.

- knees-to-elbows - this is my questionable one....
- push press (35#)
- back extensions
- wallballs (16#)
- burpees - HATE THEM!!!  PURE MISERY!
- double-unders
- box jumps (20")
- jumping pullups
- kettlebell swings (12 kg) - I'm a nimrod, I did the 16kg - didn't even realize I did it wrong until today when Patty mentioned it!
- walking lunges

I screwed up my counting on the 2nd round - so I estimated - but on the low end.  End result was 257 ish....  Not my best performance, but that's ok.  

Today was Turkish Get ups for weight.  1/1/1/1/1    I did Barbell:

45 - ok

65 -ok - probably too big of a jump.  failed miserably at this.  Although it probably didn't help that when I was attempting the "getup" part, I kind of tooted, which made me giggle.  It wasn't a quaint little girly toot either - it was full blown noise making man toot.   Patty and Grace swear they didn't hear it, but I'm not sure I believe that!!  Anyway, once that took place it was all over, not a chance in hell was this happening.  Eventually I tried the right side, and again, the getup part was a struggle. I did some weird rocking thing before I got the silly thing up.  Ah well. Better days.

55 - ok - bit wobbly.

55 - better...

55 - I think this was better yet.

Not my best night  - or my best week overall.  But it's been a stressful week at work, and in reality, I know I need to take some time off.  Under normal circumstances that would be an extra day or two, but with Hawaii coming up in a week, I'll just wait for that.
