Friday Crossfit Workout

Friday Crossfit workout was fun, yet hard. I was definitely huffing and puffing by the end of it!

The strength was to build to a heavy overhead squat but I decided instead to do 5 sets of 10 overhead squats (a total of 50) at a low weight for the purpose of toning and improving my technique.

Above is the overview of the WOD and me doing the strength part of the workout: overhead squat

The WOD was hard but really good fun and it was super quick. It took me 10 mins 27 sec to finish the WOD  with a combination of double unders and single skips. Next up was back extensions. This was my first time doing back extensions in a workout so I tried to do a few before the actual WOD.

Following back extensions, there were 20 toes to bar, which is probably my biggest strengths at the crossfit workouts. I always kip to do T2B and can do 10-12 before taking a break, so I can get through them relatively quick. Another first timer was sumo deadlift. I had to do 10 of these and I went for 25 lbs bar rather than the RX of 34. If I had to do another set of the sumo deadlifts, I could probably go up to 30 lbs.

This was a really great workout but I felt like I could do another WOD at the end of it. I suppose that's a sign that I need to up the weights!
