Anytime you can get a PR (personal record) in a workout or lift, it is a great feeling. It is motivation that the work you are doing is paying off. This week has been great for me, because I got 2 PRs. One in a workout, and one in a lift. The first is workout is one of the most feared women, Fran. It is 21-15-9 reps of thrusters w/95lbs and pull ups. The last time I did this workout was at the station, and it was a disappointing 19 min. and some change. Elite athletes do this under 4 min. Also, there is a 12 min. cap for it at the Level 1 certification that I will be attending at the end of the month. This was great for me to gauge where I am at. All I was hoping for was to do it under 12 min. I got it done in 11:30. Nice. I am hoping for an even better time at the certification.
Today's workout was Power Cleans and dips for 7-7-7-7-7-7, followed by a 1 rep attempt if you choose. I chose to try it. I was able to work up to 175 lbs. for my last set of 7. Now to try and beat my PR of 195. I got 185 x 3 reps, so I was feeling pretty good. I jumped to 205 lbs. and nailed it. 10 lb. PR! This week I hit 2 PRs. It really motivates me to continue along this journey because I can see improvements and I know that it is only going to get even better.
