It’s been a crazy week of trying to put a bow on things in preparation for the Christmas/New Year’s break. I swear people lose their minds during the holidays. December, the AMRAP of months…
December makes me want to drink scotch. And hot chocolate. Scotchocolate. Don’t judge me.

Wednesday: What are these magical glute ham raises?! Ice Ice and I had discussions on the proper set up and positioning of the GHD. By the third round I am sure I was doing it right. Mind you, they were challenging all three rounds (and why I only did 3 reps on the first set) Deadlift felt good; handstands, too. And homegirl helped me get in those lat pull downs with impeccable form.
Tuesday: I think Amanda put it best when she ran past me outside, “Are you doing two exercises at once?!”. The carries coupled with the sled pulls were something; especially in the rack carry position. Ya wanna hustle to get to the finish line because ya can’t breathe. But cha can’t ’cause you’re hauling a hundy behind ya. And you don’t wanna spill the scotch (no fish-tailing). The snatch grip BTN jerks felt good. Things to focus on in the future: looking straight ahead and not at the floor and keeping the bar path in alignment.
I am sleeping like such crap and my face looks like a teenagers, so, while I am feeling good, something’s up. More scotch, less stress. (Or maybe just the latter.)
