Jello Thighs

Think wobble not jiggle.

This morning was "Grace" 30 reps clean and jerk at 75#'s. We did this last month and my time was 9:21, so in keeping with my commitment to getting faster in the month of October, I was determined to bring that down.

New Grace time 5:32! That's a lot faster. By rep 20 my push jerks were more like push presses, but this means that I should be more than capable of pressing more for my CF total in November.

The sub 5 minute workouts continued....

50 deadlifts at 75#'s, not timed, but certainly core rippling.

Last, and certainly not least, was "Jeremy" : 21-15-9 OH squats with a PVC pipe and burpees. OUCH. My burpees were totally sloppy by the end. In my mind burpees don't hurt and they look like so much fun: jump up jump down, weeeeeeee, clap! When injecting reality into burpees, there isn't a lot of "weeeeeeeeee" after the first 5-10.

Felt like my first time walking.

On a completely (un?)related note someone just stole my heart....unassuming, simple stitching. One day sweetheart, one day.

AND you feel slightly under the weather. You're bad-ass! That is a dramatic time shave. You go. But make sure to sleep a lot this weekend...I don't want my girl coming down with what I had!
