After getting home late from a track meet, I dreaded waking up and getting after this WOD...
Desi broke thru a barrier and Power Cleaned AND PUSH JERKED more than she thought she could.
BARRIERS...OBSTICALS...HURDLES...PROBLEMS...
Sometimes / MANY TIMES ... All we have to do is ATTEMPT them and find out what will happen...
5x2 Power Clean + Push Jerk (@ 70%) Rest=75sec
Then...
ELIZABETH
21-15-9 for time:
Squat Clean (135# / 95#)
Ring Dips
2 min rest
30 C2B
50 GHDthing or 75 Abmat
800m Run
Desi ~ 95# / 14:50 (75# & Purple) / 28:14 (75 Abmats)
Val ~ 115# / 10:43 (purple) / 25:19
Britt ~ 165# / 13:59 / 24:00 (no 800m)
tb ~ 165# / 10:47 / 26:47
Desi was shocked when we put 95# on the bar...
A few quotes of Desi within 30 seconds of seeing the bar:
"I can't do that!"
"I have never done that much."
"I can't lift that above my head!"
After which the peer pressure began...And she proceeded to perform all 5 sets of 2...With very good form, I might add!!!
CONGRATS!!!!
WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!!!
We are! Stop thinking soo much Des! You have been doing this since February... Time to get off of 65# and 75#!

Thanks guys!! Felt awesome. Was on a high all day. Positive peer pressure is huge when it comes to attempting something you never would if you were alone. It made me nervous when you all started circling in on me ha. Since Ive moved here Ive realized how important it is to try things out even if it makes you uncomfortable and take a risk even though there's a chance you might not succeed the first time. We can only improve then, right? If people are willing to be a part of that process and push you to be better then let them! :)
