WOD Wednesday

It's hump day! Which means the week is alllllmost over. Yesterday it snowed here in good ol' Philadelphia which meant I got my first SNOW DAY!! Nannying for a teacher and a principal sure does have its perks (even though I would've loved playing with the boys in it!).

Unfortunately, I had a terrible headache last night so I wasn't able to make the WOD but I'm still going to include it in this post since I was planning on going. Totally the same thing right?!

Thursday December 5th

[1] Power Snatch + [1] Snatch Balance (20 Minute EMOT[2]M)

Rainbows

For Time (7 minute cap)

5-10-15-10-5

Pull Ups (I did ring rows)

Thrusters

Dubs

2 minute AMRAP

Dubs

Butterflies

5 minute AMRAP

Clean and Jerks

If there is one thing that I hate doing, it's snatches. It's awkward, I feel awkward, and I probably look awkward doing them. I'm pretty sure I only got up to 55 pounds. Not that great but it's my least favorite so I'm slowly increasing my weight. No need to rush it. My second least favorite thing: dubs. I think I did like 6? I am absolutely horrible at them. I always end up whipping my arms more than actually getting the rope under me twice. Even trying to do single, single, double. Nope. I just can't seem to go fast enough. Oh well. After two of my least favorite work outs, at least I got to end on a good note with some split jerks. Some people hate them, I absolutely love them! I think it's because I feel so powerful when I get to dig my feet into the ground.

Tuesday December 10th

Power Clean Holds

20 minutes

ODDS- 2 Power Position Clean Holds

EVENS- 5 Strict Pull Ups

Schweddy Balls

For Time (6 minute cap)

20- Kettlebell Swings

60- Wall Balls

20- Kettlebell Swings

Whip 'Em Out

10 minute AMRAP

5 Toes to Bar

5 Pull Ups

30 Dubs

If I had gone to this last night I probably would've only complained about the dubs (see above comment). I'm not a fan of wall balls but they help me get a nice looking booty from the squats so I can't complain much about them. I probably would've subbed Knees to Chest for Toes to Bar and Ring Rows for Pull Ups. Maybe by the beginning of the year I will try to start banded pull ups and see how well that goes!

I hope that you all will enjoy my WOD Wednesdays and it will inspire you to get in the gym and lift some weights! I'm hoping that it will inspire myself to stick to my Tuesday and Thursday night WODs so that I can share them with you!
