Kyle quietly delivers 8+, darned impressive

I'll be happy with 12+ on Saturday, but I'll be pushing for 13. Pushups will be the limiting factor for me.

Push-ups are a major limiting factor for me. Tracey gave excellent coaching though, advising to lock in your quads in addition to your core. It helped me keep my hips up when driving up from the floor. My goal was 4, knowing push-ups would be a problem. Now I'm just trying to decide if I want to do it again and go for 5+...

"It's ok to show up and suck until you can show up and shine."
It made me smile and I thought I would share. This is exactly how I feel about a lot of CF workouts!

Really not happy with how my arms absolutly failed in round 4 and 5. I knew I would have problems with box jumps, but didnt expect the pushups to take me down. Thinking of re-doing this one...

Thanks to Ron and Tommy for pushing me through. I'm overall pleased with the result although I know I rested too much. Going to try for 7 rounds on Saturday!

Okay, so it was super-scaled BUT...
10 + 32
12 inch STEP-ups
Normal Push-ups (last three rounds were on knees due to sagging)
Deadlifts at 32#
I had a hard time looking at my 32 lb bar...almost cried to be honest. It is hard to believe that this is a workout I would've excelled out a few years ago. I once had a 245lb deadlift 1RM and knowing that, due to the surgical stuff, I will not be able to get there again is hard. Just thought I would share in case anyone else has an injury or is coming back from one and having a tough time too.
Either way, I am grateful to be moving again and very glad to be back with you guys!

I really really wish I had not eaten so bad yesterday. I doubt I would have done any better, but it wouldn't have hurt as bad.

Thanks SO much to Dean for sticking around after he killed it to judge me! Very much appreciated. I really wish I was going to be in town this weekend to give this one another go. It took me a while to find my rhythm on the DL. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!

Box jumps really beat me down in the later rounds. No desire to do that one again.

This is what CF is all about. I remember you saying that CF literally saved your life. Through the fitness and fortitude that CF gave you, you made it through all of this adversity and your back! You have a solid base from which to build on, and you will continue to improve just like every athlete that walks through the doors!

Alissa had the idea of doing another clothing swap and I thought we might do one with donations and maybe even some athletic wear (such as lulu) that you might want to part with but maybe for a little $$$ :) Ladies, let me know if you are interested!
And on that note, I have another faulty order from Lululemon that is non-returnable (like the third time I have done that). This one is for the Groovy Run Short which I mistakenly thought was the Run:Speed Short. Anyway, it is actually a bit longer than that style and not all that flattering on me! If you would like to try them, they have never been worn and are a size 4. I would love to make back a little of what I spent but it doesn't have to be top dollar. Let me know! [email protected]

Wanted to do the first one again, but this one...not so much. Contrary to most, the DL were the one thing that slowed me down. Push-ups were better than expected but just started getting shaky the last couple of rds or so. If i had done a couple more rds pushups would've been crap. no desire for this one again
