Yes, another week down. What a rough week too! Glad I went today, even tho my body was saying noooooooo! Not sure if I mentioned it, but I fell yesterday just before leaving to go to boxing class. It was really not fun. I landed on my left side, luckily nothing seemed broken/bleeding/etc. Sore and painful as it was, the fact that I didn't bash my head into something was awesome. I give credit to my coaches for teaching me how to fall properly and drilling it in because my head didn't touch the ground at all. Onto today. Soreness, bruises and minor swelling aside, I gimped my way into class and really pulled it out. Warm up was three rounds of 10x pass throughs, 10x good mornings, and 10x jumping ring dips. We moved onto the mechanics involved in the WOD. Today was crazy. 75 OHS (95/65) and 75 ring dips. I went lighter than rx at 45# so I didn't hurt anything further. Right arm is getting better and the left arm I fell on- go figure! As for ring dips, I still can't lift my body weight so I scale it down to a box where I dip down and have my legs available for support. I finished first today. There were only three of us doing this WOD today so it was a small class. Pushing for more reps between dropping the bar on the OHS was key for me- the guys would drop it after 5-10, less as they got higher in their numbers. I hit 25 and dropped it, 50 dropped it, 60 dropped it, and then pushed thru the last 15. I also can't squat as low as they can so I can only imagine how hard it is to push back up that extra few inches. I got through my box dips the same way- 10, 10, 10, 10, 10... It was brutal. I slipped down a few times onto the floor. My arms had had enough. I finished at 12:19. Amazeballs. Moving on to core I did 3 x 10 supermans with a 12.5# weight. Not awesome, a little awkward really. Every day something different, everyday a little better.
