Weekly Workouts Recap

A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.

A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week - Eat the Gains

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Michael was out of town at a bachelor party and most of our friends were out of town as well so my weekend was pretty chill. I did some killer workouts, tested (and failed) a few recipes haha, did some blog work, and just relaxed. It was just want I needed since the next few weeks are going to be pretty insane with traveling.

This past week was pretty solid for me workout wise. While some of my WODs didn’t feel the best (I felt tired and slow), my strength is feeling really good. My friends and I are doing the Iron Belle at the end of the month so I have been really focusing on my strength, which isn’t my strong suit.

Previously my clean max was 125# and I have to do that 7 times in the comp. So I’ve been doing lots of squatting along with some cleans, snatches, and HSPUs. Well it has definitely been paying off as I did 125# 7-8 times on Friday morning and it didn’t feel that bad!

One thing that has also been helping me lately is believing in myself. My coach told me to visualize myself making the lift before I try it. See yourself hitting it and know you can do it. Previously I have always been in my head. “Oh this is close to your 1RM, this is too heavy, you won’t hit it.” Shit like that is never going to get you anywhere. Having confidence and believing in yourself is more than half the battle. Act like you are the strongest person out there and know you are capable of the work ahead. If you believe in yourself, you will be capable of so much more!

We didn’t time the workout, but I hit 125# in my squat cleans a bunch of time, which was awesome for me!
