I scaled down everything in this wod. The Cleans were supposed to be 105, the box jumps were supposed to be 20", and the run was supposed to be a sprint. Obviously at almost 7 months pregnant, none of that was happening! It's weird cause my mind says "you can do that" when my body says "no, scale down". Danny hates that I still do box jumps and barbell cleans but they honestly feel fine. The most important thing is that I listen to my body, if something feels weird or heavy, I just don't do it or scale it....

deadlift, row, squat

Today was a good workout. My mother in law actually helped my come up with an "alteration" of sumo deadlifts instead of conventional.... My belly is getting in the way!!

KB Swing, Pull up, Russian Twist

Workout felt good today. This is the first time I've ever done incline bench (not a fan of bench press, personally) but it felt good. I started the workout with knees to elbows, but the sexy callus' on my hands were getting super irritated and I didn't want to tear, so I switched to Russian Twists. Overall good, short workout. Plank holds were 1 Min each and they are getting hard!!

Snatch, Burpee

The workout felt good today... I did bent rows instead of snatch technique work, which the rest of the class did. The WOD was fun, the plank burpees are still as taxing as regular burpees, surprisingly! My row times were :44, :46, :46 and my pace was 1:51 each time which is great for me. Core stuff was hard as usual, cause you completely lose your core when pregnant! Overall, good workout  :)

Posting This Late

This week was a hectic week. I wasn't sleeping well which was making my workouts shitty, which was making me tired/sore and unmotivated. I took a lot of rest days in between workout days. Still got my 4 days in, but not the way I usually do.The run was sloooow during this workout but short so that's why I did it. All my OHS were unbroken during the 5, 10, and 15... I only got to 3 or 4 on the 20 round.

Skill/Warm Up:
12 Box Jumps Every Min on the Min for 10m
(used 12" box for jumps)

Good Morning
5x3  (65lbs)

Metcon - 10m of:

+5 Overhead Squat Each Round (55lbs)
*Score is OHS completed.  I got 38ish reps

Food: Burger and Beer joint with the hubs and some friends from out of town. Big juicy burger (no bun) on top of spinach, topped with roasted garlic, avocado, tomato, and blue cheese. Had truffle fries on the side  :)

WOW

Today's was brutal!! I had a much needed rest day yesterday after all that squatting I did the two days before. I decided to take on the challenge of the 3 Metcons we programmed for our classes yesterday. I knew that I wasn't gonna run (it's uncomfortable for me now) so I rowed instead. The box jumps I scaled down to a 14" box instead of the 20" and actually did jumps instead of step ups (I'm so sick of step ups, I'd rather jump low), and the burpees I scaled to plank burpees (same as regular burpees but don't bring chest to the floor). The last portion took me a LONG time, but I finished it!!

Metcon - complete the following - Get as far as you can in 3 Min, Rest 2 Min, Get as far as you can in 5 Min, Rest 2 Min, then do the whole thing for time:

400m Row
10 Wall Balls (14lbs)
20 Dumbbell Snatches (25lbs)
30 Box Jumps (14")
40 Dumbbell SDHP
50 Burpees

My Scores: 17, 47, 18:09

Food: Sweet potato stacker from 3 Chefs (chicken, bacon and garlic sauce inside a big sweet potato). Yummy!

Today is week 3 of baby classes and they are going awesome. They are totally helping me to get in a calm relaxed (and excited) mindset for labor and birth. STOKED!

"Jackie"

Today was fun! I actually haven't done a 1000m row in a really long time so it was good to "have" to do that today. I kept a slow pace so I could breath normally (about 2:20) and was done with it in under 5 min, which is what I wanted. The thrusters were the hardest for me cause they made my heart race, so I had to take it real slow. I did 10 at a time and rested about 30 sec in between. Pull ups felt good, also did 10 at a time with some rest in between.



Weightlifting:
Overhead Squat 5x3 (75lbs)

Metcon - "Jackie"
1000m Row
50 Thrusters (45lbs)
30 Pull ups
For Time

My time - 15:23 Rx + (baby)

Food: Ceviche!

Nasty Girls



Did pregnant "Nasty Girls" today haha. I had the option of using dumbbells for the hang cleans or a barbell, which if the barbell is light enough is no big deal to bring around my belly. Thing is, I know that's not the way I should be doing cleans (reverse barbell curl, gross) so I was kinda torn. I hate dumbbell cleans though, ugh... Also, I subbed muscle ups for pull ups. So my Nasty Girls wod went like this:


3 Rounds for time:
50 Squats
7 Muscle-ups (scale with pull ups)
10 Hang power cleans, 95 pounds (scale with 55lbs)

My time: 10:29 JELLO Legs after all those squats!!!

Food: Omelette from Roasters and Toasters - Spinach, Tomato, Onion, Bacon, Cream Cheese. Yuuuuum
