14.3

Done and done!

A couple tips:

-keep your form on deadlifts and break them up as soo as you feel your back start to give.

-use a belt if needed (I used one-safety first!)

-get gloves if your hands tend to rip or slip

-set up your plates in order of what will be changed/added

- remember when time is running out you always have one more rep in you

-it's not a sprint but not a marathon so rest when needed but it should only be about a 2-3sec rest

-test out your BJ prior: see how fast and how you feel with jumping up/down then test how fast and how you feel with stepping up/down.

You may see that jumping takes a lot of you. Stepping is allowed! And it'll save your energy and may speed you up.

-pop those hips at the top

-I jump up on the box with the box corner pointing at me. This makes for a bit shorter and easy distance for your feet to come up to the box. (A tip I learned at my first box). 

Test it out: see how it feels jumping up normally with the flat edge facing you then turn the box or step to the corner where the corner is pointing at you. 

14.2 Crossfit Open

Well I completed 14.2 Froday mornin and man glad it's over cause I not doing a redo that's for sure!

I made it to the 16s rounds, the 2nd round of C2B pullups (only 2 though).y score was 19something haha i don't remember!

Some were shocke I got that score and pushed myself that hard. The wt (65) is not that heavy (though it definitely soon begins to feel like 100lbs, 110, 120..haha and C2B, well I have the butterfly motion down pretty well so I just flew my body up there. 

I had a game plan before starting:

-Do ALL the overhead squats UNBROKEN! 

-Do the first RDS of 10 C2B both unbroken.

-After the 10s RDS, Do at least 7 C2B before getting off the bar on te remaining RDS (12s, 14s, 16s etc.).

-Complete the OHS speedy; pop those hips at the stand and get back down.

I didn't have any expectations or a goal of making a certain score or making it to a certain round. I just go in knowing I will give it all I have. I told myself no matter how bad it hurt or how much pain I was in during the OHS, I would not drop the bar! Completing them unbroken is a must to go quickly.

My forearms were on fire and my grip was barely hanging on. On the 16th rd, the C2B was being done in complete pain but I still did 7 to begin with then had to break them into 3 then 2 at a time.

It Is a must to tape up your hands! I made makeshift NaturalGrips with tape and they held together, enough. Sure they were all torn up and ripped and falling off by the 16th but I wasn't worried about bloody hands ory hands ripping. Why do you want your focus to be on your hands and not on the WOD? Wrap them up, wrap them all up if your worried.

Remember, you feel the pain to prove you are alive and guess what you can endure it a little more. 

Give it your all because pain is temporary and te satisfaction you'll feel after is amazing!

GOOD LUCK!

13.2 WOD

Lets just say I never ever push myself harder than at Crossfit.
13.2 WOD is in the wraps and I could not be happier with myself. I completed it once on Wednesday night and again last where I beat my score by 50 reps!
At The last 15seconds on the timer, I'm pretty sure I could have passed out and fallen over. My whole body was dead but yet I had 15 seconds to get that 75lb bar above my head.
Goodness I love CrossFit. It's officially the love of my life! ❤
