A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.

Happy Monday! Holy heck I drank way too much wine yesterday haha. My parents are in town for the next few weeks and we are currently in Fredericksburg exploring, and drinking all the wine. It’s Monday though and time to get back on track!

Last week I competed in a fun intra-gym competition. To be completely honest, I wasn’t excited to compete at all. Even though it was just people in our gym and the workouts were all scalable to what you wanted to do, I haven’t lifted heavy in so long or really really pushed myself in a working. I wasn’t looking forward to trying to hit a one rep max at all.

Well it turned out, the competition was really fun! I didn’t push myself crazy hard and didn’t worry if I got a new 1RM, but still tried to give it my all. I ended up hitting 85# in my snatch which I haven’t done in awhile and did well on the thruster workout (listed below). I think I needed that little friendly competition to remember how fun working out can be and it doesn’t have to be serious all the time. You can work really hard and enjoy yourself at the same time.

While I don’t think I will be competing in anything anytime soon, it’s always nice to have a little friendly competition to bring back your competitive nature.
