Tamara's 5/3- 5/5

Monday = rest day

Tuesday = gnarly 90 minute yoga class

Wednesday = 1 hour personal training -- practicing handstand push-ups, ring dips, muscle-ups, and rop climbing, and weight-lifting technique.

Then, CrossFit class. Warm-up = 10 pull-ups, 400 m run, 5 slow push-ups, thrusters at 33#, 53#, 65#. WOD = 5 rounds of: 400 m run; 15 65# thrusters (65# barbell down to front squat, then stand up and shoot the bar up fully overhead); 10 pull-ups. 32 minutes, 10 seconds.

At the end of the workout in her last round of pull-ups, a girl doing jumping pull-ups feet slipped backward off the box, she fell totally forward off the box onto her wrist, and broke it. Bummer.

Sounds like a super hard workout, although I still don't know what 60% of the stuff you say means - thrusters, ring dips, muscle-ups - it all sounds very confusing. But hard.

Sucks for that chick :(

Ring & muscle ups are on gymnastics rings.

Ring dips = you are straight-armed with the rings at your waist, feet off the ground. You bend your elbows, lowering yourself down, and then straighten back up.

Muscle-ups = from the floor with your hands on the rings, you heave yourself up until your arms are straigtht and the rings/your hands are down at your waist.

I can't do either yet. Dips I'll get soon. Muscle-ups will take a lot longer.
