Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps

20, 22.5, 25, 27.5, 30(PB)kg
20, 25, 30, 32.5, 32.5kg
25, 27.5, 30, 32.5, 35kg

Rest day.

Squat clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

30, 32.5, 35, 37.5, 37.5, 40, 40kg

I was so scared doing the squat clean at 40kg, only because last time I tried, I dropped it on myself. Today, I did it easily but I had no courage to amp the weight up to 42.5. Maybe next time!

I'm having another go at the Zone Diet which is, hands down, probably one of the best things you can do for your body. It's not only a diet, it's a lifestyle change that your body will love you for.

The reason why my first attempt failed was, well, because I became lazy and stopped thinking about what foods I had in the house. Eating healthy isn't simply staying away from all the junk food you have nor is it aever about eating less. It involves time and effort to think ahead about what food you do have at home, and what essentials you'll need in order to eat healthily until the next time you can hit the supermarkets.

CFHQ WOD: "Elizabeth"
21-15-9 reps of:
Clean, 30kg
Bodyweight bar dips
13:02 minutes

This was an awesome workout! My cleans really cut the seconds off my time, however my dips let me down. My clean technique has really improved over the past month so I'm very happy about that.

Tough Bloke Challenge??? Still undecided!

CrossFit guys are HOT!

Did yesterday's workout today since I didn't get the chance to hit the gym before Dragon Boating yesterday.

CFHQ WOD: "CrossFit Total"
Back squat, 1 rep ,75kg
Shoulder Press, 1 rep, 27.5kg
Deadlift, 1 rep, 82.5kg

CrossFit Total= 185kg

The deadlifts were so disappointing. I'm so sure I could have hit 85kg except I had non chalk on me and the bar kept slipping out of my left arm. Shoulder presses were also disappointing since I was aiming high.

Very disappointing workout overall.

Big night yesterday, again. So before rowing, I will hit the gym and do this workout:

CFHQ WOD: "CrossFit Total"
Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder Press, 1 rep
Deadlift, 1 rep

AIM:
Back squat, 82.5 kg
Shoulder Press, 37.5kg
Deadlift, 87.5kg

I am now in hibernation mode for the next month. The amount of study I have to cover before I am anywhere close to being prepared for my finals is phenomenal and I think it's about time I stop the crazy weekend antics. I've had way too much fun.

Linda (aka "3 bars of death")
For Time:
10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 rep
* Deadlift 60kg
* Chest press 12.5kg DB
* Clean 30 kg
34:56 minutes

I'm going to KILL this one! I'm in one of those moods where I need a workout to take my fustrations out on.

Verdict
THIS WORKOUT COMPLETELY SMASHED ME. I was up to 6 reps and I didn't think I could finish it. It hurt but I persevered. I hate having to put all the equipment back after a massive workout, especially if you're on your own.

Had a few guys tell me that they LOVE my workout. I still have the shakes from it!
