Convinced to start a blog

bank holiday Monday 26.08.13

So my husband, Marvin 'Parsley' convinced me it was a good idea to start a blog.  First I thought I'm nowhere near good enough to be blogging about training, who's going to read that?! ..but then I thought progression is the most important aspect of training whatever level you're at so it would be good to document me getting a bit less crap at some things ..at least I hope that is what will happen!


FIRST PROPER STRENGTH SESSION (as instructed by Parsley)@Crossfit Teesside

500m row  - concentrate on tekkers and try not to fall off

Dynamic stretching/mobilising

FRONT SQUATS

3 x 5 reps with empty bar

5-5-5 sets: 38kg-44kg-50kg 
(began to panic starting these,scared of the weight, even though have done more than this previously! ..wanted to stop, actually convincing myself of reasons why it might not be a good day to do it - I would probably would have stopped without a set programme, plus I knew Parsley would have been mad if I didn't get it done)

1-1-1-1: 55kg-60kg-65kg-66kgPB - yay!
(by the time I got to these sets I was feeling confident and the weight felt fine) 

WEIGHTED STRICT PULL UPS

5-3-1-1: 3kg-4kg-5kg-7kgPB yess!

END WOD - fran with empty bar - didn't have time, box closing - shouldn't have spent so long putting various lifting paraphernalia on!  However, did find the knee sleeves good support on the squats

Altogether - good sesh!
