The Curvy Crossfitter

Amanda, mid 30's, personal fitblr. I crossfit, I run, and I’m a cat mom. Just working on my quest to get happy and healthy, all while loving myself through the process.

Hot girl shit. 🔥

CrossFit Total: 755 lbs

260 back squat | 130 strict press | 365 deadlift

3 PRs. All before 7 a.m.

Today, I’m that bad bitch. I will be insufferable all day long. Tomorrow, running will remind me to stay humble. Balance.

Good to see you back at it! Hope the new position doesn’t keep you from the workouts, lol.

Running on caffeine and vibes today after my fur child woke me up at 2 am and I couldn’t fall back asleep.

Still went to the gym and got it in.

Drop your best staying-awake hacks… or just send cat pics. Both are equally appreciated.

I fuck with Mondays.

CrossFit and a hyrox class. Let’s go!

CrossFit class:

5x of 1 power snatch, & 2 overhead squats. Built to 100lbs (yes my power snatch wasn’t great, learning everyday)

Then 3 rounds for time:

600m run

15 overhead squats 75lbs

Hyrox class:

Did that. Didn’t die. See ya in less than 12 hours for 5am 🤪

Did you know I can deadlift 355lbs?

I didn’t. But here I am 😆🎉💪

[the-curvy-crossfitter]

You have no idea how stoked I am to have run this distance again.

I don’t even care that it’s at a slow pace. I did it, without pain, and without feeling like I was going to die.

Maybe this hyrox won’t be the death of me

Having some fun on a Monday night workout. If you call thrusters, burpees and back squats fun!

Today, I ran 2.5 miles

I forgot to start my tracker until a bit into the run. Based on the CrossFit class distance and time, I completed 2.5 miles in 30 mins.

While this is far from my best, what I’m learning is to give myself grace. I haven focused on running in about 1.5 years. And my 36 year old self struggled with getting back into it at first. One and a half months ago, I struggled to run more than a half a mile without pain in my shins and calf. With some focused training and proper warm ups (which was something I never really did- I know my bad!), I was able to accomplish today.

It’s progress. And I need to remind myself of that. I’m just a normal human with full time job, some long commute days, who enjoys food immensely, trying to be a healthy athletic version of myself.

3rep back squat at 230lbs

My strength is progressing. Now if only my gymnastics and cardio would catch up…

[the-curvy-crossfitter]

Hey, did I share I’m doing a partners Hyrox in Sept??

Well I am. So there’s that.

Slowly dying while training for it. I got old and fat and stress did number on my body. Time to build back the engine. 😬

Words of advice for this Thursday 🤗😘

I used to selfie all the time. Now I can’t remember the last time I took one. I guess that’s getting older.

[the-curvy-crossfitter]

Can’t remember the last time I went for a 1 rep max of back squat. Today I got 230lbs and it felt smoooottthh.

[the-curvy-crossfitter]

Before the WOD, I built to a 135lbs 5 rep bench. So by the time I got to round 4 of bench, my arms were gassed.

Time capped at round 4. Wanted to hit that RX button so those 24 inch box jumps were humbling. Every rep had to tell myself I could (big girl problems)

[the-curvy-crossfitter]

3 rep at 305lbs

[the-curvy-crossfitter]

190lbs 4 rep front squat
