Cupcakes and Cocktails

Thursday was a pretty rough day. Dragging from the lack of sleep and just a bunch of shit going on. Maybe one day something will work out.

I went in a little early to establish a new 1RM on floor press since I couldn't do it today because of school.
bar(5)-55(5)-75(3)-95(1)-115(1)-125(1)PR-130fail

I remember going for the 1RM last time I did this, like well over a year ago and my pr was like 1# for 113#. It was rather depressing. So I was pretty ecstatic to see a 12# PR at 125!

Strength: Front Squat 5-5-5 65%-70%-75% (based numbers off of 170#)
bar(5)-85(5)-110(5)-120(5)-130(5)

Even though I set my 1RM as 160 last week, I felt like I could've had 165 and Kelly's numbers were off of 170, so I just went with those weights. They actually felt pretty good. My hips don't feel as tight/bad during the front squat. I still can't figure that out. But overall, all three sets felt good. I really tried to hit the bottom of the hole and drive from there. Since that's where I catch my clean, I might as well work from there...

WOD:
5 Rounds for time of:
20 Wall ball shots (20/14)
20 Sit-ups
6:27

This wod was pretty much made for me. Wall balls are easy for me all sets were unbroken. Sit-ups were all unbroken.  Feel like I've been kind of slow on those lately, so I need to get some more core work in!

Cash Out
5-5-5 Dead hang Pull-ups (blue-blue-red)
5-5-5 ring dips (purple)
*alternate movements

Feel like my pull-ups have been a struggle lately, so I'm trying to incorporate more dead hangs in again. I need to start utilizing the bar/band at home too!  Ring dips actually felt really good, I need to start doing some holds and just practicing without the band. I'm determined to get those in a wod soon!

After everything, it was Hannah's Birthday so we celebrated with these cupcakes, they were pretty delish. It was like a one and done kind of cupcake, you were satisfied after having one and didn't over indulge! And Kelly brought a bottle of wine since we both had rather frustrating days!
