Whoever said it was easy, wasn't working hard enough!! :)

What a week!!
Now that the pageant preparation is behind me,
I am preparing for a National Tactical Strength Challenge
that will be held the end of September at Full Throttle Athletics!
It is pretty cool because people
from all across the US are competing the same day.
Then at the end of the day, all of the results
are logged into the system and you
can see how you rank!
There are three areas of the competition:
Dead lifts
Pull Ups (palms over, not under/Full dead hang up to your chest)
Kettlebell Snatches
BJ and I came up with the following goals for myself for this competition:
Dead lifts - At least 225lbs
Pull Ups - 5
Kettlebell Snatches - 100 in 5 minutes
So, my training for this began this week.
I do my 3 days of Strength/Bootcamp
and 2 days strength training.
My two days of camp KICKED my ass!
I am sore today like it was the first time
I had worked out or something!! :)
Tuesday it was
10 Pull Ups
15 Kettlebell Squats
20 pushups
You do this 5 times through.
I was only able to knockout 15 of the 100 pushups on my toes! :(
The rest were from my knees.
We'll get there!! :)
Wednesday's camp was
10 Pull Ups
20 Squats
30 one handed Kettlebell swings
400 Meter Run
You do this as many times through in 30 minutes!
HOLY CRAP is all I can say about that!
I got 6 1/2 done.
On my last set of pull ups I ripped open
a callous on my hand. OUCH!! :)
I have been working on my Dead lifts and Squats on my strength days!
All is going well I think! :)
I hope to have some video soon of some of my Dead lifts!
I will post once it is up!!
By the way, ANYONE can come out for the Strength Challenge!!
It is a lot of fun! You just come out and give it a shot!
If you are interested, let me know and I can give you more info!
I went to one a few weeks ago at Full Throttle. I did not compete
just because I wasn't sure what to expect.
But truly ANYONE can compete!
Whether you Dead lift 60lbs or 600lbs!!
You may surprise yourself!!!
I will update one more time before the weekend!
Wish me luck in the AM!! My upper body is fried! :)
Remember, you could always come out and
join me!! Why not??? You get two weeks free to
see what you think BEFORE you have to make a commitment!!
Your not SCARED are ya!!??!!??!!?? :)
