I love the new gym

Strict Press + Push Press + Push Jerk
53
63
68
73
83


Super Set with Box Jumps
20 in/+25 plate/+25 and 25/+45

WOD
I don't remember how many rounds!! Oops! I guess I was too tired to remember what I needed to write down.
21 Jump Squats 83#
12 Ball Slams 25#
7 Ring Dips (Green Band)
Time-7:32

Those jump squats were tough on the old quads-burn, burn, burn. The ball slams were as wonderful as ball slams can be, except that they immediately followed the jumping squats so breathing was notably difficult.

Important note to self-I need to move to the next band on the ring dips.
And look-I put another picture up, so no more complaining from anyone. And this picture is proof that I can apparently drive my head through on a strict press...I just have to do it.

My shoulders...

WOD
4 rounds
250 m row
10 ring dips (green band)
12 GHD sit ups
Time: 11:22

This was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I had visions of starting the second round still dizzy from the GHDs, but I am finally not crazy dizzy and disoriented every time I get off the GHD in a wod. :) I had no idea how the ring dips were going to go since last time I used a blue band, but they weren't as bad as I expected. My shoulders are a bit fried today, but that has motivated me to work a little harder on stretching and foam rolling. I used this routine plus a few more exercises that Kyle gave me.

Have you heard how hard it is to buy Kombucha these days? This is very sad news for all of us who just love to drink the amazing stuff. But it motivated me to make my own. I am now on my third batch of the amazing stuff, and it is undeniably cheaper and better than what I was buying. Plus it is kind of exciting to be making this stuff from a "kombucha mushroom", seeing those kombucha babies growing, and then ending up with bottled, effervescent, sour yumminess. I love these kind of things and this is filling the void in my life now that I don't attempt a new type of sourdough starter every year.

My brothers act like I am making moonshine, but they just don't appreciate the greatness of this stuff.
