Ok!!! So, one real workout down, and now number two down!! Exciting. I had a blast. It was hard, and of course I was upset as hell for not completing it, but I still had fun and pushed myself. So, this one will be short.
Stretching with a video was interesting. We listening and copied. Leg stretches felt good, but I wasn't able to do everything. At least not how they were prescribed. We then moved into strict presses. This was fun. So, I started with a 35lb bar this time. I suspect I'll be working with those for a while now. So, the plan was to do 5, add weight, do 5 add weight, etc, all the way until we are struggling with completing the 5th. Once we have that max weight for a set of 5, we do 4 more sets of 5 for a total of 5 sets of 5 at the same weight. Then, if there was time, work on the 1 press max. I didn't get there since I didn't even have a baseline.
I started with the bar and did them OK. We added 20lb. I finished it, but it was difficult. So, we added 10 lbs after a rest. I tried it again and got 4. I couldn't lift the 5th so he said "we'll count that as an audible" I guess because I made a sound when trying? We moved me to doing 5 sets of 4 reps at this weight, 65lbs. I did 3 more pretty OK. They were difficult, but I got through em. On the last one, I struggled at rep 3 and racked it. I waited an extra lil bit of time, and tried that set again. Made it!
WOD: sets of 9, 15, 21, 27 reps each of modified push ups, 10lb wall balls, and ring rows.
I was SO slow. That's my big problem. I can't just push through, and it's fucking frustrating!!!! Ugh. Did 9 of everything OK. Did 15 of everything OK. Had to break each thing down in 3 sets of x to complete the part so that I A- didn't loose track and B- got myself through it. Then we are at the 21. My arms and shoulders are jelly at this point. It took forever, and got to the point where I was struggling to even do 2 in a row. But, Mike was there and talked me through it, and I finished with like 30 seconds left. I moved to wall balls and finished as many as I could in that time.
This was very fun, very frustrating, and I feel it today. Arms and shoulders aren't still jelly, but I feel it. In my abs/stomach as well. Weird. I guess that means I'm tightening everything I need? I hope so. I really enjoy the lifting. It's a lot of fun, and I can't wait until I'm to a point where I feel GOOD about doing it.
GOAL: sets of 9, 15, 21, 27 reps each of modified push ups, 10lb wall balls, and ring rows.
ACTUAL: sets of 9, 15, reps each of modified push ups, 10lb wall balls, and ring rows + 21 push ups + 8 wall balls.
