Crossfit Girl Workout: Barbara Ann

by crossfitmomm, posted in CrossFit Workouts

Barbara Ann is a new CrossFit Girl workout that was just released almost a year ago. This new workout consists of

5 Rounds for Time with a mandatory 3 minute rest between each round.

  • 20 Handstand pushups
  • 30 Deadlifts (135/95)
  • 40 sit ups
  • 50 double unders

I did this workout on Monday, and it took me 41 minutes. I hate resting in CrossFit workouts; I just do. If it hadn’t have been a Benchmark CrossFit workout, I would have skipped the rest.

However, I didn’t think much about this workout; until today. I woke up, and my quadriceps are killing me. It’s painful to go up and down the stairs. I’m assuming the deadlifts got me. It as a lot of volume, and as I get older, my body just can’t recover as well from this.

It was a fun workout that I’ll definitely do again.

CrossFit Girl Workout Elizabeth

by crossfitmomm, posted in CrossFit Workouts

I have been struggling with CrossFit lately. Not necessarily CrossFit though; it’s more with my weight and my abilities.

Injuries have taken their toll, and after I hurt my back last fall, it’s been a rough road back. Throw in competing in CrossFit competitions against gals 20 years younger than me, and you get the point.

Today, Bergeron’s CompTrain had Elizabeth, a girl CrossFit workout that’s been around since the beginning, programmed. I looked at SugarWOD, the app I’ve had since the very beginning that tracks all of my CrossFit wods I want to remember. The last time I did it was two years ago with a time of over 22 minutes, so I thought, “I can beat that. My ring dips are much better now.”

Elizabeth is:

21-15-9 of

  • Squat Cleans 95 lbs for women
  • Ring Dips

So I begin. My time: 13:43. I smashed my old record by almost 9 minutes! I haven’t had a PR this big in at least a year. I was super excited and quite surprised. It’s these rare moments like these that keep me getting up at 2:30 in the morning, working out alone in my garage, doing strength workouts I don’t particularly enjoy, and keeping moving even though I don’t want to.

After six years of CrossFit, it’s all mental. All of it. Sure, there are weights you can’t lift and perhaps movements you can’t do, but those are the extremes. The daily grind is what makes the difference. So keep grinding away even when every moment sucks and you’re sore and would rather sleep and the like.

It’s only you you are against. So defeat yourself every time.

CrossFit: Benchmarks Tell You a Lot

by crossfitmomm, posted in CrossFit

This entire year (2019) has mainly been a battle against my body. Tweaks here and there. Days off from training. Avoiding certain exercises. The things you don’t like about training.

There have been a few bright spots here and there. I’ve PR’ed (set a personal record) for my bench press.  I PR’ed my thruster in a CrossFit competition.

And then today I PR’ed CrossFit girl workout Grace.

CROSSFIT BENCHMARK GRACE

CrossFit benchmark workout Grace is pretty straightforward: 30 clean and jerks at 95 lbs for women for time.

It’s been almost a year since I’ve done Grace, and I knew I’d PR it, mainly because I know I’m stronger.

WHEN YOU’RE IN A RUT, DO A CROSSFIT BENCHMARK WOD

It can be hard after you’ve been doing CrossFit a while to keep going, to keep progressing, to keep getting stronger and fitter. It can be REAL hard. There are days I don’t want to get out of bed and workout. Workouts I look at I don’t want to do. Days I wonder why I do this.

In those moments, you need a win. Today was my win. I’m unsure how long my win will propel me forward. But it doesn’t matter — at this point, I’ll take anything.
