Sixty at fifty-five
Today's collection is Tuesday, November 12: Gold.
I've been slowly changing my mind about leggings, partially due to the better quality of leggings available now, and partly due to seeing them worn well by friends. This article is a great commentary on changing one's mind about leggings. And no, they're not pants. But neither are skirts. And that's okay.
Speaking of other inflammatory statements that touch on being a feminist, may I present for consideration this excellent post on how Joss Whedon has serious issues and can everyone please please PLEASE SWEET JESUS stop lauding him for being so egalitarian and shit?
And now for THE AWESOME.
At Sunday's session with Andrew, I did three sets of twenty loaded squats with a 55-pound bar. Each set was seven front squats with a short re-rack and rest followed by thirteen back squats. That's sixty squats with a fifty-five pound bar, yo. And he kept saying things like "great form on these" or "good squats, keeping going."
AWWWW YIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I am not ashamed to say I'm damn pleased about that. When I attended my first CrossFit elements class in March of last year I couldn't do a single bodyweight squat in good form. This week? I'm doing sixty weighted squats as part of my program. BOOYAH.
Tonight!
