Congrats! OH Squats are tough.

Thanks   They are hard.  I was struggling to find my balance and stability towards the end but I did my set just fine.  I was zonked afterwards.

STRENGTH:
90% 1RM Front Squat
*wasn't sure what my 1RM was so we tested it today....#145!

Not bad for a girl

Then we played around with gymnastic drills.  Rings, dips, etc.  I'm determined to do a muscle up.
I did 5 pull-ups non-kipping AND band free!

WOWZA!!!!

Maybe a few sprints later for good measure...maybe not.
Hiking the Smokies tomorrow

Hiking the Smokies tomorrow

Just a hike, or full on backpacking? I'm a huge backpacking nut, but I don't get many chances to go, being in Chicago... 8 hour drives to get anywhere decent.

Congrats on the pullups.

full on backpack my friend.  We want to pick a hard trail this time.  Our first time out we took the advice from a ranger and ended up doing the 7th hardest trail in the park!  Then the next trail we did was too easy....it was beautiful but not challenging enough.  When we lived in MO we were far from everything as well.  Now we're in TN so the Smokies are on our doorstep

pull ups...I've been working on them and it shows thanks!

Hiked the Smokies today.....
Did 14 miles total
~6600 feet in elevation
took about 5.5-6 hours to hike all 14.

I'm pooped!  And HUNGRY!!!!!

I'll be out like a light tonight I'm sure...

Nice!
