Bench press 70# 8-6-4

Next time everything goes up by 5#!

I am kickin' ass!!!!

Tired but truckin'

Never work out after a nap with your child.  I am serious.  I was so out of it when I worked out.  For Power Cleans, I lifted crooked (unbalanced) for the first set.  Work out now, sleep later - that's my new motto.

Power clean 65#  8-6-4

Military press 55#  8-6-4

Front squat 50#  8-6-4

Bench 65#  8-6-4

Next time Bench/clean 70#, Front squat/military press 55#

Powering up

My form is getting better.  Whenever my trainer thinks that my form is good, I go up by 5# next time

60# Power clean 8-6-4

50# Military press 8-6-4

50# Front squat 8-6-4

60# Bench press 8-6-4

Next time Bench/Clean will be 65#, Front squat stays at 50#, Military press 55#

The rest is over!

It's a new day.  I am done with my half-burpee challenge.  I rested for two days, got a massage, slept well.  So, now it's time to do my heavy duty weight training with my trainer.  Let's see what happens this afternoon.  

Workout today

55# Power clean 8-6-4

50# Military press 8-6-4

50# Front squat 8-6-4  Watch form

55# Bench press 8-6-4

Next time, bench and cleans will be at 60#

Last day of burpee challenge

Here are 50 burpees for the challenge.  I am kinda sad that I am not going to 100, but I feel like my weight training is more important.  I really want to do crossfit at the prescribed weights.  I promise that I will finish the challenge (or start from scratch) sometime soon.  I am still very proud that I got this far.  Plus, when I travel for work, I will have to do 100 burpees each day if there is no equipment where I am staying.  So there you go!

Weary body

For the past two weeks, I have been feeling unusually tired.  According to my trainer, I may be overtraining since I am doing the burpee challenge AND weights.  So, I will do my 49 burpees today and 50 tomorrow.  Then I will stop my burpees and only do my weight/crossfit workout.  Bummer.

Burp, burp, burp

Guess what?  48 burpees!

Calm before the storm

Today is just 42 burpees.  I am going to start major weight training soon to increase the weight I can lift.  Apparently, I should take it easy before the intense training (according to trainer).  Well, 42 burpees ain't too shabby!
