Hello!

It's been almost a year! Well, my son is 13 months old now... here are a few accomplishments I have made this year:

  • Still breastfeeding, 13 months and counting
  • Aiden has not been introduced to any crappy food, he is a thriving primal baby! (with the exception of some rice and quinoa. No gluten)
  • Still a full time mom and full time at our business

Training at least 3 times a week I have achieved the following:
  • Beat my old mile time by almost 20 seconds (7:50)
  • Power clean body weight (135)
  • Got my abs back
  • Deadlift up to 185 (still really struggling with lower body stuff. Goal is 225 again)
  • Squat 160 (goal 200)
  • Strict Press 80 (goal 100)
  • Handstand Push ups (5 reps kipping, only 1 or 2 strict)
  • Chest to Bar pull ups
  • Toes to bar, pull ups, rope climbs etc. are easy again

Here is a pic of my progress on my physique and my beautiful son!





Hoping to now in year two, get back to some high skill stuff like ring dips, handstand pushups and muscle ups.  Thanks for following, everyone!

Clean and Jerk, Sled Push

Today was short, because I trained a client and worked out with her sort of. I switched off doing C&J with her and sled push, but she did a metcon in between that. My days have gotten so busy that I need to work out whenever I can!

Weightlifting
Beg-Int; C&J Practice

3×3+1 (worked up to 100lbs then did 3 sets)

B) 
Sled Pull + Push x5
Push sled 20 yd’s
Rest :30
Pull sled 20 yd’s
rotate


we used 90lbs on the sled and prowler both. 

So since it's been about 3 months, I find myself now getting to the point where I don't need to log each day cause my progress has reached a kind of slow and steady phase. I am only gonna update from now on with my PRs that I hit and any other special things that happen along the way. I have really been neglecting my other blog, which I have had for almost 3 years now.

So on that note, see ya when I do something exciting!

Snatch, Power Clean, HSPU, Box Jump

Working on skills that I had issues with in the past. Like box jumps for example, I had some bad habits and figured this is a good opportunity to re-learn how to do them more efficiently. I used a smaller box but rebounded every rep. 16" felt easy!

Skill Work: Snatch from below the knee, Above the knee, and from the floor
Used 53lbs. Pulling a little early from the hang position, need to work on that

Conditioning 8 Min AMRAP:
10 Box Jumps (16", rebounding)

Power Clean Ladder (95lbs)

Score 4+ 14

Today was good! It was a major cardio workout but I stayed consistent the whole time, did all reps rx and unbroken, and finished about 10 mins faster than the people who rx'd in the earlier classes. I only subbed the running with a row cause I am developing freakin shin splints!

20 Russian Swings (35lb)
30 Double unders

Push up, Lunge, Sit up

Push ups killed me on this one... it was hard keeping a good plank. Back/core is still kinda weak so anything with a lot of reps is challenging... Overall good though. Candlestick and pistols were pretty easy!

Push ups
Overhead Lunge (25lbs)
Chest to Quad Sit ups

10:42 Rx
