    Scott’s Mom is the WOD I refer back to most when deciding how much to lift on a metcon.  Because it’s for reps, not time, it’s useful for knowing what I can finish.  Today is a rest day for me, and I didn’t want to miss it, so I did it Sunday.

    With 85 pounds, 20+20+60=100 squat variants, 4+6+6=16 press variants, 116 total.  (Compare to 133 total with 65 pounds about four months ago.)

    Didn’t quite go to failure, just to boredom. Should do more reps next time.

    Not a good day to do Wendler Squat Work before hand.

  • FWIW, I believe the house record is 500 total squats.  And no, that’s not a typo, so man / woman up.

    Also, apologies in advance for this cycle: it’s short – six weeks – but it’s rough.

    • jenntang

      Would have been good to know, because I had no idea what to shoot for.

      I’m not going to try… The way I’d fail on Scott’s Mom is that my spine would buckle on the squats or I’d drop a barbell on my head on the presses.  With heavier squats/presses, the limiting factor is the muscles in my legs/arms.  In this WOD, it’s my lower back/wrists, which fail more dangerously.

      And, the best strategy would be to skip the overhead squats and front squats and do as many back squats as possible, which completely wrecks the fun of trying to guess how many overhead squats I can do without dropping the bar.

    My presses suck, so I should have tried to get a few more push jerks in there, but I was ready to be done at that point.

    TTL: 112

    Cashout: 60 K2Es, and 10 back extensions every time you come off the bar.
    7:13 …i think?

    An interesting thing happened towards the end of the cashout. I got impatient and started contracting as soon as I uncoiled from the K2E, as opposed to waiting for my bodyweight to swing back around and give me the momentum to help me get my knees up to my elbows. It worked… and it was a lot faster and, in a way, easier than the alternative.

    So… yeah… I’m about a year into this whole crossfit thing, and I think I just now, tonight, did my first K2E with some semblance of correct form. Overdue but exciting.

    When I decided enough was enough and I was going to take care of my body I had no idea on what and who to believe as far as the right fitness information for women was concerned. I found different forums and blogs that had some decent information but most of the talk was about pills and supplements. The one thing I did know was that I was not going to use pills….I was going to do it naturally.
    After some research on “fitness for women” the one name that popped up over and over was Mike Geary. I found his information to be a great step by step guide on what to eat and what to do to stay fit. The one thing about his beliefs in fitness is that you must be willing to give up some bad (good tasting foods) to see results.
