In pairs, 30 minute AMRAP of:
10 partner high five burpees (do a burpee and high five partner at the top)
4 wheel barrel walks (hold legs of partner while they walk on hands)
10 pull ups
9 rounds + 3 wheel barrel walks
I had a good partner. He’s a personal coach on the side so he kept me going. I wanted to stop at 5 minutes lol.
Happy weekend!
1 rep max of
Back squat = 200lbs (pr)
Shoulder press = 90lbs
Dead lift = 265lbs
Total = 555
A little disappointed in the dead lift because it’s 10lbs off my previous max.
But overall total increased by 5lbs :)
Happy that numbers stayed relatively the same without doing any focus on strength training for the last few months.

I hate running. It’s like slowly pulling teeth out. I haven’t ran more than 5km since my half marathon last June.
My legs are still working and I can walk today. Good news!
Kudos to all you runners out there! Some pretty awesome times at the box.
into doing a 175lb front squat. I thought it was 165lbs. Previous one rep max was 155lbs.
New PR!
Thanks Gracey ;)
Yes!

WOD:20 min AMRAP
Rounds:10 + 4 chest to bar (pink band for ring dips)
Our box started following the main site WODs a couple of weeks ago. In a way, it’s good and bad. The WODs are definitely challenging…sometimes so challenging to the point where I struggle with the movement and a lot of the intensity gets taken away. But it’s good because we do movements that we normally wouldn’t do a lot of in a WOD (ie: rope climbs, back squats, bench press, ring dips, muscle ups). I’m hoping that after a couple months of this, we won’t be surprised with anything anymore haha.
I’ve also noticed that the main site WODs like to blast a particular muscle group. One week it was lats, the next week was legs, and this week has been chest.
My boobs hurt lol

WOD:”Helen”
3 rounds of
Time:14:14 rx
Shaved off almost a minute and a half off my old “Helen” time, but still could have done better. Run, run, run!
I remember doing this WOD when I just started a year ago. After the first round, I didn’t even have enough grip strength to hold onto the bar for pull ups with the band and had to do jumping pull ups from a box.
What a difference a year makes, huh?

Victoria Day Team WOD
In teams of 7 complete:
Each team was at each station for 10 minutes at a time. Got to cycle through each station twice.
Definitely a bar star pump kinda workout. Chest and arms were feeling pretty jacked lol
Homemade Carbonara Pasta
Everything was from scratch including the noodles. They were a little tough and the egg in the sauce kinda turned into a scramble instead of just blending in….BUT everything was edible so I would say that this was a success!
Good thing we are not picky eaters haha
Clearly I’m getting ready for summer…hopefully a tan will hide these bruises in the future haha

WOD: “Brian”
3 rounds of
Time: Completed rx (we didn’t do this for time as we only have 2 ropes so we had to cycle through, but it worked out well)
We’ve never done this many rope climbs in a WOD before, so finishing this felt pretty good. I had visions of my arms giving out and plummeting to my death haha. Despite wearing knee socks, I got a new burn on my ankle, a bruise on my foot, a bruise on my inner thigh, and my hands feel like they are on fire…BUT it got done!
Shout out to Komet for pushing through!
