–> RD 3 = 14
–> RD 4 = 24
–> RD 5 = 19
100 Pushups Total
Grace: I had done grace on 4/27 and had a 2:58 @ 35K. That was one of my first workouts @ CFF, I’m guessing that I miscalculated my weight b/c this @ 45 was killer, and I’m a lot stronger now. I felt like I could hardly get the bar up more than once. I was much slower than I would have liked, but am glad I got through it and have a solid benchmark for next time we do it.
Pushups: I really pushed myself on these (HA! LOL) . I didn’t use any bands but still wanted to keep up with the big boys. During the WOD’s I have a tendency to do a little dolphin kick to get up again on my pushups. I really worked on trying to eliminate that and have high hips and good reps. Zach thought he saw me doing this exact thing on my third set, so he cut me off, but upon further review, he said it was a bad angle and I was just sagging a bit and to try not to do that. I ended up with 100, which was right up there with the other guys. And the last set I went to absolute fail, I could not get even one inch higher. Its Monday morning now, and I can still feel it. That is awesome.
++ Good pushups, form and intensity were right where I wanted them to be.
—Need to make sure I am properly marking my book to be able to document progress.
