Ah, the good ol' wall climbs. Really I don't know how the hell people do these. They kill my shoulders, they scare the heck out of me, and I have yet to get all the way up against the wall with one. Anyway, I did them as best I could, getting anywhere from about 6" to 12" away from the wall. Box jumps felt okay, the running was slow but felt good to get out there and move and toes to bar would've been better for me on the bar I'm used to, then ya get what ya get, right?

Today and yesterday I have been really happy about the workouts. Not that I have had fast times or anything - I'm probably THE slowest in all of CFJ but I feel like I'm starting to enjoy working out again. I feel like I've been just going through the motions and it shows in a bit of weight gain and poor performances at the gym. Anyway, it feels good to feel good!

Strength today was Front Squats

warm up sets: 5 @ 85, 3 @ 105

  1. That's a great work out! Glad you are feeling better about your workout, that is so important.

    I am still new...what is a wall climb? Even sounds a bit scary.
