Does that mean you liked it?

November 6th, 2009, by

So, if there were only 7 people at the Fort yesterday between the hours of 5PM and 7PM, does that mean you guys liked "Tabata This"? I know Bill has had the last 2 days off, but that's no reason to stay home. COME TO THE FORT AND KEEP ME COMPANY! Jessica does NOT want to be the only lady at our 6PM class. I do sneaky things to her like put extra weight on her bar when she isn't looking. :-)

In all seriousness....this is the 2nd time we've had only one lady at the "ladies only" class, and if we can't get more participation we'll open this class time up to everyone again; not just our ladies. Ladies - I worked WAY TOO HARD on my "ladies only" playlist to see that happen. Let's fill this time slot with your tall socks, lip gloss and sexiness again!

The strength work yesterday was power cleans 5-5-5-3-3-3. Jessica (despite being tricked) set a DOUBLE PR for her power cleans! If you want to see someone who has worked hard to get their cleans, watch Jessica. She admits that she really struggled with cleans until one day it just clicked. Her elbows are LIGHTNING fast, and she has a great explosive pull. Congrats on the double PR girl! Don't make me trick you again to get you to PR! :-)

After the strength work, ALL 7 OF YOU did:

3 rounds of
400m run
21 dead lifts (80/55kg)
12 body rows

Tommy Mo named this workout "Who needs a lower back?!"  High rep dead lifts can be a killer on the lower back, and I don't think anyone hated them more last night than Brian. Great job everyone!

ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Connie got her FIRST unassisted pull-up last night! I might have scared her with how excited I got. All she knew was that she was trying to get her pull-up, and then suddenly I was hugging her and yelling. :-) Sorry if I scared you girl, I was just REALLY excited. After a few minutes she tried again AND GOT 3 pull-ups! WOO HOO!

I'm pretty sure Brian hated his life in this picture

    So 2 "Mad Props" Comments:

    1) If you have all haven't seen it, you all should seriously watch Jessica's power cleans and just how FAST and HIGH her elbows come through. It's really impressive, and I was watching and taking mental notes. She makes it look E-A-S-Y! Nice work Jess!

    2) Watching C-Maas nail that first pull-up was pretty sweet. She got her chin over the bar, dropped down and had that little sly smile of accomplishment on her face. I'm sure inside her head she was thinking "HECK YEAH! I did it!" then she looked at us, we cheered and Jennie literally bum-rushed her. A few minutes later we all turn and there she is repping a triple. Nice work C-Maas! "A buck a pull!"

    Season...you're next!
