Note to self, running three "girl" workouts within as many days is not a great idea. Pretty sore and achy a few days afterwards. I'd attribute a lot of that to my lack of sleep in the past few days though, I've been missing out on an hour or so a night.
Anyway, went in on Monday for a rather brutal workout. I thought it was going to be tough, but I severely underestimated how bad it really was.
10 sets of front squat doubles, every 90 seconds
Worked up from 185 to 275. Each set felt good. Only the last set even slowed down at all.
Then, another "girl" workout. Elizabeth. I've actually never done this one before, but half of it looked awesome and the other half looked shite. So, 50/50, right?
21-15-9
Cleans @ 135 lbs
Ring Dips
First off, I suck at dips. My triceps are horribly under developed in relation to the rest of me. I had to scale back the rep pattern to 15-12-9 because I was falling too far behind.
To be honest, I don't remember my time. It was somewhere over 10 minutes. But I forget the actual number. Needless to say, this one was brutal and I've found my new GOAT movement.

Barbells for Boobs!
Dressed in far too much pink, that I stole from the lady friend's wardrobe, I went in today to do the workout for the charity "Barbells for Boobs". We did Grace, a very short fast workout...
I RX'ed it at 135 lbs for 30 reps of clean and jerk in 2:42.
Then, feeling like a sub 3 minute workout was not enough for the day. I took a 10 minute break and recharge with a shake before doing it again, only this time with my bodyweight on the bar.
With 188 pounds for 30 reps of clean and jerk in 9:20.
Needless to say, that extra 50 pounds made this quite a bit more difficult. That and the fact I was a bit tired was enough to make this workout interesting enough.
Now, I'm going to eat and decompress from approximately 12 minutes of work.

5:43
That's what I wrote on the wall. It was the time that I got last time I tried this workout. Truthfully, I got 4:37 or so the first time, though I did some scaled version then. 5:43 was the first RX score I got when I ran Fran. It was in December, 10 months ago.
Today was 4:40. Cut off a minute. I like it.

95 lb thrusters
pull ups
Haven't been able string together the necessary pull ups yet. Had to break down the sets of thrusters in half and the pull ups into thirds. Some days the pull ups work, some days they don't. Today wasn't great. But, it worked.
Then I laid on the floor for like 8 minutes.
