September 11, from 1RM to WOD weight

Today's workout was most definitely a milestone in my crossfit career. One year ago September 10, 2013 my 1RM sumo deadlift was 105 lbs and today it was my workout weight. Three months ago I did my first wall climb that was close enough to the wall to be considered a wall climb. Today I did 18 wall climbs in the workout!

In the strength part we did some sumo deadlifts (36 in total) and a lot of kettle bell swings (100 consecutive!)

The workout was:

3 rounds for time of:
12 Sumo deadlifts (225/155)
24 Kettlebell swings (53/35)
6 Handstand push-ups

I scaled the sumo deadlifts to 105 lbs and the handstand push-ups to wall climbs but I did do the kbs with 35 lbs! I finished in 14:57 and I was sooo happy! I managed to do all the wall climbs without falling on my face although I still have to work on coming down! Two big bruises on my knees!

September 4, two days in a row

Normally I planned to go to the box on Friday but my mom asked me to drive her somewhere. So, instead of going Friday I went on Thursday, still a little bit sore of Wednesday's WOD.

The strength part was 'kettlebell fun' and it was definitely lots of fun but also pretty intense. The kettlebell fun was followed by turkish get-ups (aren't they also with kettle bells? what is the difference? no fun? :) ).

The WOD was an AMRAP:

AMRAP in 12 minutes of
- 3 wall climbs
- 9 box jumps
- 15 kbs (53/35 lbs)

I scaled the box jumps to step ups. I'm still not comfortable jumping on a box during a WOD. Considering that I did my first wall climb (halfway the last tile) in July this was definitely a challenging workout for me.

I did 4 rounds and 3 wall climbs and I am really happy about that!!!

After the WOD I did 10 box jumps under full control, proving to myself that I could still do them!
