Yesterday we did WOD 3-3-3-3-3-3-3 overhead squats. We never workout on Sunday's so we are a day behind. Overhead squats are awkward. I don't have a bar...I use poor mans rocks so I think holding it overhead with my arms in a triangle made them more awkward but I'm not going to buy real weights until the rocks are too easy or get too big to keep good form. Well I guess the form problem is already starting...maybe I'm just too wimpy still...not sure. Anyway did the workout in 5:30 with 37lbs and that felt awkwardly heavy. Jonah did it with 11lbs in 5 min something. Jen walked for a half an hour. Today we did WOD 120 pull ups 120 dips...yeah right. I'm still sore from Fran's pull ups. What I am about to say however is a testament to how crossfitting really strengthens you overall. I haven't done dips in like 5 months and the time I did them 5 months ago I hurt my shoulder from not warming up good enough and over dipping my shoulders. That being said I did 35 pull ups and 35 ring dips! That is crazy...and they were solid ring dips. I only stopped so to be sure not to over do it. Jonah did good but felt disappointed cause he couldn't do a ring dip. He can do regular bar dips but couldn't quite stabilize and dip at the same time. He was really close though and did a bunch of negatives. He did pull ups too not sure on his numbers but he did the best he could. I totally forgot to time us. Jen did 55 push ups (on her knees) and 55 45degree rope climbs (each pull is counted as 1). MUCH IMPROVED. Back when we started Jen complained cause she couldn't even do knee push ups now she's doing 55! Soon she'll be doing real ones!
