Yesterday’s Results Board: Rest Day
How to Win the Wishbone Scientific American
Reality Check: When Life Gets in the Way of Fitness Athlete Daily
Friday with open Jim
Worked on hand stands, kipping and toes-to-bar to improve form. Wasn’t counting reps. Just focusing on a solid core and stability. TTB feels a lot better and less swingy when I can stay active.
Worked up to a heavy set of 5 over head press of 105 and tested my one rep max for deadlifts and set a new PR of 345 (325 previous)
Saturday there was no way I could do this metcon so I did short circuit. Had to scale down a few movements but felt strong throughout. After I was done I tried some bar muscle ups using a black band and nailed 2! Lots of firsts this week!
STRONG FIT
LIFTING HEAVY THINGS
RUNNING WITH THEM OR JUST STANDING THERE
PUTTING THEM DOWN WITH A SATISFYING (BUT SAFE) “THUD”
CONVINCING YOURSELF TO GET UP EARLY ON A SATURDAY DESPITE STAYING OUT LATE THE PRIOR NIGHT AND BEING INVARIABLY GLAD YOU DID SO
ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME
(also preemptive way to go to that amazing CFSBK art show lineup!)
STRONGFIT!!!
Then group class, where stars aligned and partnered up with TFBA Sarah C. Great partner and we kept up the pace throughout. Finished in 27:21.
Saturdays always leave me so jealous of all the group fitness fun and gainz… strong fit, short circuit, partner workouts! Ugh! I want to playyyyy!
2pm solo session. still a bit under the weather so kept it simple.
3x:
4ea TGU sit ups 25#
:30 handstand hold
3ea single arm ring row negative @ 31-5 (up with both arms)
4x:
8ea contra lateral single arm DB press in lunge (20, 25, 30×3 – extra set)
8ea suitcase DL @ 20×1 (24kgx2, 32kgx2)
12 supine hollow hold lat pull down (red, blue x3)
6 sets:
:20 pistols (calf support) – about 10 reps per, sometimes a bonus rep
:20 push jerks @ 105# – 7 reps each
:20 overhead hold @ 105# — OUCHIE!
1:00 rest
this got very spicy from set 3 onward. jerks felt pretty snappy and the hold was no big deal at first but that definitely added up. mostly in my wrists! put some tape on halfway through.
9am!
Finally got to partner with Kayleigh…got to see the magic happen! We broke up this workout pretty well and didn’t need to take any extra rest which was awesome. I think we pushed the limit pretty well too! Finished in 27:21
Can’t wait to workout with you again, Kayleigh!!!
Also, wish I could drop into the art show but I’ll be out of BK for the night. Hopefully there some good pictures put up in the blog so we can admire it all!

Jay star said he would Instagram live the event with interviews of the artist. Someone hold him to it.
Also. All of the fitness today. AG + MO. Standing is hard.
Did AGS and then while stretching back over at 597 was inspired by watching the noon class crush it so joined the 1pm. There were a few badass times posted today, so awesome!
Partnered with Kristin (Kristen?) who rocked it – worked steadily through in 34ish if memory serves. Felt good about our strategy and pacing, just kept moving and sped up a bit toward the end. Conquered my fears of American swings and went Rx though I was generous with counting a few of those WBs. Despite my general dislike of WBs this was fun! I heart partner workouts.
You were an awesome partner Christine, and really kept me motivated. I was nervous to get started (if you couldn’t tell), sleep deprived and not feeling 100%. Once we got going, I felt great. Love me a partner workout!
