I’m drained - mentally, physically and emotionally. I’m running on a measly three hours of sleep and my brain is mush from all the cramming I’ve done. One more day and then beastmode will commence at the box.

I hit a 325# PR on my deadlift yesterday. I particularly like my puff of chalk at the end!

I get the chills every time I watch this video & the timer beeps.
Crossfit.
Bringing this vid back because I love it that much.

The Easier It Is, The Greater My Threat
The Greater My Threat, The More Attention I Draw

First attempt at a kettlebell L-sit & I think I lasted longer than my coach did. I didn’t even think I could do it. My body’s stronger than my mind, apparently. Bet I would’ve lasted longer if I reminded myself of the quote Coach Burgener said to me when I was oly lifting - “What the mind perceives, the body achieves.”
& yes, my socks say “BACON” on them. I love bacon. -

Sometimes I write myself notes to keep myself motivated.

laviedemer asked: do you think the reason why I can't do a kipping pull up is because the bar is too big? cause I've been some smaller ones and they seem to work better the bars at our gym might be too big for my hands..or I'm just weak either/or..
Nope, I definitely don’t think that’s why. I have pretty small hands & I can do them. I always had problems with kipping pull ups, trust me. I can only string together 5 or so. It’s a mental game, you just gotta psych yourself out. Practice with a box underneath you to get high up on the bar….if you can do a strict pull up, try & hold yourself at the top of the bar & push off that way. Make sure not to push down, push straight back, full force. That’s how I got my FIRST kipping pull up & it was at my Level 1 cert in Arizona.
p.s. I might be coming to San Diego the first weekend of June. I’ll text JP if I am & we’ll meet up. :)
