Jogo Saturdays used to be reserved for just the advanced Jogoers. However, with the beautiful weather we've been having this summer, and the exploding size of the gym, Em has mixed it up a little bit over the summer. Saturdays are now open to all, and are mostly going to be outside, sports, playing type activities. Of course, summertime Saturdays usually mean James and I are out of town, so I've missed all 4 of these that have been offered so far.
Well, Bellingham weather returned to expected (just ask Ruthie [Kate's mom] - it rains here all the time!!). So, it was just a regular old class. And by regular old class, I mean UGH!!
The Speal (a.k.a. Rocky Mtn. Regional Games Qualifier WOD):
3 rounds of
10 pull-ups (chest to bar!)
10 front squats (heavy weight)
10 burpees (Yay Burpees)
Rx for front squats was 105, but I'm not even sure if I can 1-rep-max that weight for a front squat. I did a few warm-up front squats at 65 to feel out what my weight should be, and realized that 65 was not so much a warm up as a work out! So, I loaded up 75# on my bar and went for it. Of course, I did jumping pull-ups, and, because there were so many of us, I actually ended up doing them on a squat rack, so I think I got off kind of easy there. But I did manage to get my chest up to the bar every time. I even almost knocked the bar off the rack once or twice!! :) Finished in 9:54, which I was pretty happy with. The guy who Em named the WOD after did it in 3:48 with 135# bar, so, you know, I'm pretty close to that...
For now, off to Farmer's Market then to the dog park so Carlo can get a fetching WOD in for the day!! Happy weekend, ladies!
