#cub corps

[whatisthisaboot]

Today was my last class at cup corps. We retested our baseline from week 1 to see how our times improved.

Baseline: 500 meter row 40 air squats 30 ab mat situps 20 push ups 10 ring rows

Week 1 time: 7:35seconds Week 4 time: 6:25 seconds

I cut a whole 70 seconds off my time!! I’m really excited about that.

We did baseline 2 times today so my time would have been faster if it was just a 1 time deal but I didn’t want to over push myself the first round and lose more time my second round.

Today we did FRAN

So that was painful.

I'm really scared for this tomorrow

I can't stop overthinking the power clean. Like you seriously just jump. It's that simple but today I could not just get that. Ugh. So I spent most of the workout just doing that and still not getting it. Anxiety is on high today I guess. Going back in tomorrow morning and working with the coaches since we don't have class Friday.

Today was 3 rounds of: 10 front squats 35lbs 10 push presses 35lbs 10 ring rows It was okay. Squats and ring rows are easy for me. I hate push press. But I'm sure I'll get use to it. No class Friday because our schools gym is lame and it's closed for "Nevada Day" But the workout is doable at home for the most part. As our coaches say "You dead lift things everyday. You just never use the proper form to pick up that pen you dropped" So I'm sure I can figure something out. Overall still enjoying it.

Not like anyone truly cares. But I like posting this to help me keep track.

Today we did rounds with partners.

12 mins of 12 Air Squats 10 Dead Lifts @ 65lbs 8 Hand Release Push Ups

My partner and I did a total of 5 rounds each.

The coaches had one person do a round then they rested while the other did a round.

I think we did pretty good. But what do I know, I’m a newbie to this.

I’m hoping I become friends with her so after this course is done I can have a buddy to go with and we can make sure our form is good and stuff.

I really like cross fit.

I’m just so worried about my form constantly. I like having the coaches there making sure that our form is good and helping us improve.

Today’s workout was 5 rounds of 15 burpees and 10 kettle bell swings.

So basically that sucked.

We also did some push presses with real barbells and real weights.

Then we all hung on the bars pretending and wishing we could do pull ups.

It’s fun though. I’m excited for the next few weeks of this course.

I just hope that I gain the confidence to do it on my own rather than having to do it in this class type since the class ends in 2 weeks.

I’m also scared of box jumps. Like I’m positive I can do like maybe 3-5 of them, but I’m scared to try it because, what if I miss?! And I know I’ll never know unless I try buttttt it’s scary. So for now I’ll just do the step up shit until I gain confidence.
