I was psyched for CrossFit's WOD (workout of the day) today. I knew I liked doing both components and felt pretty good about my abilities:
- Box jumps - Pretty straightforward - you jump up on top of a box. Standard is 20" for women, but I wasn't quite there yet. I stacked five 45# weights instead, which was just an inch or two shorter. Last workout I only stacked three, so this was an improvement.
- Push presses - Pushing a weighted barbell up from racked at the shoulders to above the head. Last time I did 35#. This time I did 45#.
NOT psyched during the workout - it was hard, dammit! The WOD was 10 reps of each, then 9, then 8, etc., all the way down to 1. That's 55 reps of each, total. Ugh! I think my time was 9:28.
With that, the warm-up, instruction time, and 20 back extensions for core work, total workout time was about 40 minutes.
