And still we're lovin' it.
So, today's workout challenged us to add 20% more weight and really utilize our spotters... but what happens if your spotter can't reach over the back of the decline bench (because it's sized for a freakin' ogre)? And should you worry when you hear "you're gonna have to go get your own weight because i can't lift it"?? Or how the hell do you spot on the lat pull down? This has been a week of trial and error (and thankfully no injuries!!) We tried to focus really hard today but still there were giggles and laughing fits because we felt soooo awkward as we tried to figure out how best to help one another. Hopefully we can get some answers when we see the team again on Saturday...
Still - we worked sooo hard and then worked some more. It is amazing to catch a glimpse of a really strong woman in the mirror and then realize, with much relish, that hey, that's you! Or to go over the 100lb or 150lb mark on lifts that just a few weeks ago you could barely do half that... :)
We were on such a high after our weight routine that we went a little crazy. So we did a self-test 500m sprint on the erg before our mandatory cardio (two words: Goals. Met.). And finished with 3 sets of 10 inverted row thingies and a good, long, relaxing (haha) wall sit. Life is brill.
