Tues, Oct 19

At 1am'ish last night, I found a certain 2yr old boy breathing in my ear staring at me in the darkness. Somehow he'd managed to climb onto our bed and over Ryan without Ryan ever waking up. Or pretending not to wake up, is probably more like it. Anyhoo, after a potty run he went back down to sleep rather quickly, as did I.

FOOD

WOD

  This is what highlighted today's wod.

WU  3x:
10 ring dips
10 lunges
10 back ext
10 pistols


Strength: Squat
add #10 to previous 1RM

65% x 5 (90#)
75% x 5 (105#)
85% x 5 (120#)

WOD - "7000lb Elephant"
Choose any weight you want, clean and jerk, until you reach 7000lbs.

men #7,000, women #6,000

ex: #135 x 52 reps = 7,020; #95 x 74 = 7,030; 65 x 108 = 7,020, etc.

Cap of 115 reps max, scale to 6,000lb, or 5,000lbs accordingly

Result = 92 reps @ 65lbs in 13:59

At first glance, this wod had the word "SUCKS" all over it. I thought the clean & jerk included the squat, but a saving grace was that I found it apparently it didn't. It was deceiving and definitely a mental workout as much as a physical. As I type this now, my forearms burn and my lower back is sorta quivering. My adductors from yesterday's karate really didn't appreciate the squat lifts as they now feel weak. I'm pretty much feeling like a wuss now...

Back squats at 105#

Carey, Joe, & Tami poaching elephants -- Amy gets credit for her boob & feet though!

Nonetheless, without her assistance there'd be no footage at all, so we'll take what we can get. This one's for all the male followers I have out there.  ;)

But good news! I put on a pair of jeans today that I hadn't worn in 2-3 weeks and realized they are looser. So all this work must be paying off. Something like that really helps to reinforce the caveman eating. Let's get it on.
