sorry to get a couple days behind! it’s been a little crazy this past week.
this was friday’s workout and folks, it fuckn broke me. on thursday i started my first ~real~ period since i ejected my IUD last month, and i haven’t exercised heavily while on a period since my freshman year of high school. i already wasn’t feeling good and the exertion made me very dizzy 😵
david:
12 lb medicine ball for wall ball shots. these were fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
15 lb double kettlebell cleans (with full squat). this is where i started to get a little light-headed. usually i can squat very low and w. relative speed, but my knees got pretty shaky.
12 lb dumbbell push press. kept these very light bc i could already tell i wasn’t feeling well, the weight was so light that it was hard to control the dumbbells from moving horizontally.

one of the Unfortunate Rules for this half was that we had to use the same barbell for all three movements. overhead lunges are such a limiting factor for me, and 45 lbs was an ambitious pick for those. unfortunately, it ended up not mattering!
45 lb deadlifts. super fast, tried to keep form ok on the lighter weight
45 lb hang power cleans. i practiced the motion jenny taught me for stringing hang power snatches together and it worked well! my heart rate was so high tho and i was having to take a lot of breaks to catch my breadth.
45 lb overhead lunges. i power snatched the bar up for these to get started and literally felt myself start to black out. i set the bar down and did two stationary lunges, and then fell over and couldn’t get back up.
at that point i tapped out. it was beyond seeing stars—the worst i’ve felt while doing a workout ever. jordan recommended i finish my workout drink and i basically stayed in the ground until everyone else was done. i was actually shivering! it sucked.
