I overslept on Monday and ended up going to the 5:30pm class instead of my usual 7am. It was the same coach, but a different group of classmates. I was kinda anxious about that, but everything turned out just fine.

Pre-WOD was Deadlift 3x5, which I did @ 75lb. WOD was the benchmark WOD “Diane”. I scaled down and did 21-15-9 reps of 65lb Deadlifts and 13lb DB press. I finished in 7:11. I need a set of 15lb dumbbells. 20lb is too heavy for me to strict press, but 10lb is too easy. I need more middle ground!

Today’s pre-WOD was back squats. I worked on getting as low as I can while keeping my chest upright. Kept it pretty light cause I’m still terrible at squatting form.

OMG, the new gym puppy (Willie Nelson!!!) is dope af.

Today’s workout is definitely going to help me sleep on the long flight to Amsterdam later today. Yikes.

Part 1: 5 rounds of handstand work. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but these are so hard for me, both physically and mentally. If you’re upside down when climbing, something has gone very wrong. Almost three years of climbing has ingrained that in my brain, so breaking that mental block is gonna take lots of practice. Anyway.

30 seconds in a headstand hold with knees on my elbows, 60 seconds rest, 30 seconds handstand against the wall practicing shoulder shifts (can’t do taps yet), 60 seconds rest.

Part 2: AMRAP/15 minutes

20 wall balls

15 bar facing burpees with a jump over the bar between each

10 deadlifts (95 pounds for me)

Got 3 complete rounds + 26 reps into the 4th.
