PRd My Front Squat baby!!

Today was the first day of school (for the teachers, kids start tomorrow). I wasn't sure if I was going to go to Crossfit this morning because it was the first day but I woke up and saw that the workout was just strength, so I rolled out of bed and left. When I arrived, there were A LOT of people for 5:30 am! And when I say a lot of people, I mean 10. Haha! But when it's usually half that amount, it's a lot. And it's so early!

Today's Strength Work Out: 

Front Squats
1-6-1-6-1-6

Thick Grip Floor Press
4-4-4-4

We started working up to our last recorded one rep max for front squats. That was the first real set. I started at 103. Then we dropped the weight 20% for the set of 6. I dropped to 83 pounds. Then we added 5 pounds to the first set. And then 5 pounds to the 6 rep set. All in all, my weight for the sets were 103-83-108-88-113-93.  113 WAS A PR, BABY!!!! I don't care about the awful bruises that I will have tomorrow. It was a great day to start off the new school year.

Here is me doing the set of 6 at 83 pounds. I know I still have to work on my depth. I tend to think that because I am short that I can cheat and not go allllll the way down.



I don't really have much to say about the thick grip floor press because I'm not a fan of anything that isolates my arms. My legs are so much stronger.

And here is another video of me playing around at school. I just wanted to see if I could do it. I'm def not showing this to my kiddos because I'm pretty sure I would have a few adventurous students who would try this and probably hurt themselves. 

Happy Tuesday!
