My Attempt at CrossFit: Front Squats

Posted by Kate

at Sunday, February 22, 2009

Today's WOD is front squats. I'm happy it's not a metcon workout today b/c I'm still feeling off.

Warm-up:
5 min. jog
5 jumping pullups
7 pushups
20 ball situps
10 hspu progressions (shins on bench)
10 KTE's
5, 10 sec. ring stabilization

WOD:
Front Squat
3-3-3-3-3 reps

Load: 45-55-65-65-55

I felt really good about these squats. I should have pushed it more with heavier weight, but I didn't want to lose my form. HSPU's were stronger today than in the WOD on Thursday. I'm starting to get some pretty nasty calluses on my hands. It hurts more and more to do jumping pull-ups and KTE's. I'm not sure what to do about this. Maybe I'll try wrapping the pipe so it's not so tough to grip.

I've been doing CrossFit since June 2008, off and on. But more focused since Jan. 2009. I love the challenge of pushing myself and the continual improvement I get with CrossFit. It's also great to work out in a way that actually makes me stronger in my everyday life. No more asking a man to open jars for this gal!

I'm also experimenting with the Paleo Diet (CrossFit converted me from vegetarianism). If you're interested in checking out my food journal, it can be found here.

Thanks for stopping by!
