(in kgs, per Joe’s request): 32.5, 37.5, 42.5 (x4)
First visit to the Oxford main Powerlifting gym. Got lots of “who the F*** is this chic” looks from the dudes (I’m pretty much the only girl to have stepped foot in this room). Especially when I did some strict pull-ups. Also met some super cool (And HUGE) dudes who just happen to mainly train at the Oly gym I’ll mainly be lifting at, starting tomorrow night. Sa-weeeeet. They even told me they’d spot my bench on Friday — awwwww.
Hurrah! Elite fitness bringing the world together! I guess I’m going to have to work on mentally multiplying by 2.2, though, because kilograms still mean nothing to me.
Kyle suggested doing sandbag cleans instead of power cleans (partly due to a never-healing thumb tear), so I did. Subbed 6 box dips and 6 ring rows for the muscle ups.
SP: 47 (was supposed to be 42, oops), 50, 55(x3)
WOD: 2 rounds + dips/pullups (67# cleans, sub 2 dips with feet on box and 2 red band pullups for each muscle up)
SP: 55,62,70(3)
WOD: 2 rds + pc + mu + 17 burpees
— jumping mus with rings at forehead, the highest I’ve gone in a wod. Several epic fails were witnessed by Gretchen. Muscleups still scare me a bit, I’m afraid I’m going to fail and rip my arm out!
SP: 59, 67, 72×5
WOD: 2 + cleans + broken MUs @89# which is what was written on board. (broken mu for me today = 2 strict ring pull ups, 2 ring row transitions, 2 ring dips from the bottom, and yes I hogged 3 pairs of rings to accomplish this)
🙂 *chest bump*
🙂 I hope you enjoy it sir!

My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and thats the way I like it!
Yay Metric! Also, glad to see you’re settling in nicely with the lifting people. The universal language of “Muscles” makes friends fast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa5rW_AJw-U&feature=player_embedded
yup that’s pretty much exactly how I introduced myself at the Oly gym tonight. Insta-friends!
ah,, beware Elizabeth. There are English gentry who really don’t care much for women. Stick with the meatheads!
