Ankles...who needs 'em?


Todays WOD          Skill: Pistols
21-15-9 {Meaning do 21 of all, then 15 of all, then 9 of all.}
SDHP (45/35) [Me: 30lb bar for form work.]
Pistols
HSPU [Did mine from a box.]

OH...EM...GEE.  First of all I snoozed my alarm and only had about 5 minutes to get dressed, inhale a banana, and get out the door.  NOT a good way to start your workout day!  Most of this stuff was new for me.  I have tried hand stand push ups once before and they SUCK!  My upper arm strength is next to nothing which is why I had such a hard time today.  So SDHP = Sumo Deadlift High Pulls.  Those aren't too bad.  I used a 30lb bar today.  They gave us an option to use a bar or kettlebell.  I may use a kettlebell next time we do these.

Pistols...HOLY CRAP!  My ankles, specifically my right ankle, are WEAK!  Weaker than I would've imagined.  Those were almost impossible for me to do.  I had to use the bar for  assistance (which so did pretty much everyone this morning).  Those are brutal.  I would be happy if I never had to do those again...lol!

Okay Hand Stand Push Ups.  I still suck at those.  Workin on that though. ;-)

I have my niece with me today and Brody is going berserk.  Glad we have this very spacious home, but he is running around filling every inch of it today.  Looking forward to going to bed early tonight and waking up feeling refreshed.  Wednesday seems to be my refreshing day of the week.
