Wednesday

Its 91 degrees in Texas.... and its not "hot" yet. Todays WOD was hard, but the heat KILLED!

(petrified forest national park, AZ)

WOD: All Wods are now being done at County Line CrossFit thanks to Coach Jerry

8 deadlifts #225

8 broad jumps

5 rounds

When I got to the box, there were a couple guys who had done it at 275, going above RX. I dont think I have ever been so bold as to go above RX, but I have done a few different WOD's with 275 so I was sure I'd be fine.

Well, the first 2 rounds were fine, what I failed to realize before the workout was all the other times I did 275 the reps were very low, just a few at a time. Doing 8 reps, 5 rounds, proved to be too much! After 28 reps, or 3.5 rounds I dropped to Rx, 225, and did the last 12 reps that way, it felt like a feather! The broad jumps were hard, but nothing compared to the DL. My lungs were definitely buring. Its always great to be totally winded in the same workout where you are lifting super heavy weight!

Time - 6:51 Rx (and above)

FOOD:

cafe latte

B - protein shake (1.5 scoups Muscle Milk, 1C strawberries, 2/3C mixed berries, 8oz whole milk)

L - grilled chkn, orance, cheese stick, almonds, apple

D - grilled tuna, frozen red grapes, 2C broc., salad
