    Yesterday was day 6 of my fundamentals week, I went every single day no matter and it felt amazing to finish. I have never worked out 6 days in a row anywhere!

    Did my first handstand pushups last night! Before the WOD I asked the coach if I should scale using the bench or box. She said "Your handstands are great, you're doing handstand pushups." Never in a million years would I have believed I could do one. :noway: Of course, I had 3 - 15# plates under my head and on the last two rounds I had to do 5 instead of 10, butt I did them! The biggest problem I had was my wrists hurt like crazy! :sad: :sad:

    I did my first handstands in decades this morning! I'm over a year into crossfit, but it has taken me most of that year to build up my injured back (herniated discs and atrophied muscles) enough to actually do things RX'd. Handstands have been on the top of my "hell no" list, just the thought of flinging my body UPSIDE DOWN at a wall was frightening. It took several failed attempts at the box, and many, many more at home, but I finally got it! Now I can't wait to do more :)

    Nice work! My arms and legs look like I've been whipped because of all my DU failures! I'll get there though!!!

    We did 1 Rep Max Dead lifts today. I have never maxed out on deadlifts, so I was very happy with hitting 375#. If I didnt run out of time I think I could have broke the 400# mark. Next Time!!

    Last week, after starting Crossfit in January, I finally RX'd a WOD! I was really feeling it by the end but my coach stuck by me and helped me through it.

    Last week I overhead squated 135 like a Boss. When I started CrossFitting a year ago, I couldn't overhead squat a dowel.

    Also last week..after a deadlift and box jump WOD, we did 50 handstand push-ups for time, with a 10 minute time cap. Our Boxes head trainer and I were the only two to finish...and I beat him!!????

    FINALLY stringing double unders together. Got 7 today. Not an impressive feat by any stretch but finally getting the hang of it!

    I also PR'd my push press--90 lbs. Goal is to get 100 by 2014!

    DU's means practice practice - did you manage 7 consecutive?
