Week 2, Day 2 - PRs and Hurtin' Hands

No squats today!

Strength: 
8x1 heavy Jerks from the rack 
95
100
105
115
120
130
135
145 - PR BY TEN POUNDS!

Thoughts: Split Jerks are my favorite lift. It felt awesome to PR on this lift especially when I'm not particularly focusing on it right now. It felt really strong too. I wish I had had time to go up more but still an exciting day. On the other hand, It is kind of embarrassing that my max back squat is the same as my max jerk and that I've never squatted over 125. #awkwardliftingproblems


Cwod:

5 Rounds:
30 Second Handstand Hold
5 Supine Ring pullups on box (video above)

8 Pullups
8 Tiger Bend Push ups (see video below)
10 knees to elbows
30 second hollow hold on bar

Results: Completed, rested 1 minute between rounds

Thoughts: What. the. eff. My boyfriend recommended this to me because its a good core workout and stays away from lower body. Yeah, well I even modified it from what he suggested and I was still dying. This just destroyed my grip. My hands were pissed. I also felt like each round was never going to end because I was terrible at every freaking movement. Although it definitely gave me a good core workout, I would not describe this one as a good time. 


Intake: 
Breakfast: Coffee with protein and a banana
Lunch: Turkey burger with cheese and half a wheat tortilla, carrots and hummus
Pre-workout snack: Zone Bar
Post-workout snack: Rezzerect Protein shake
Dinner: Shrimp with yellow curry and a big ass bowl of rice

Side note: Feeling the hunger increase, lunch wasn't big enough. Started feeling light headed at around 3. definitely going to have to add more food for mid-day.
