A Journey to Overcome Weakness

My name is Melina, I'm 18 and i've been crossfitting since December of 2011. Since then I've become completely addicted to the lifestyle and community.

My love of food has grown exponentially since I started eating (mostly) paleo (most of the time).

So here's some stuff I find interesting, inspiring, or would just like to eat.

WOD

Strength:

Back squat 3x5 (150)

Metcon:

5 rounds for time of

7 wall balls (15 lbs)

7 box jumps (20 inches)

7 weighted lunges (65 lbs)

Finished in 7:30

I was super tired beforehand and just mentally out of it, so I sort of took forever on my first set of lunges,  figuring out exactly what the hell I was doing. But it was an ok workout. I definitely feel it in my butt.

WOD

3x max handstand hold (1:30, 1:00, 1:00)

Then 15 minute AMRAP of

10 Wall balls (15 lbs)

10 toes to bar

10 box jumps (20”)

Finished 5 complete rounds, and just two box jumps shy of a sixth.

I couldn’t get the swing on the toes to bar for the first half, so it went really really slow. I ended up doing knees to elbows for the last half so I could get the swing. My feet weren’t touching the bar, but they were damn close for most of them. 

And I successfully avoided tearing my hands.
