Yup, you read that right. She out lifted and out jumped me by like a mile. It wasn't even close. I hate to guess as to how pregnant she was but it seemed like about 4 months? But I guess I should tell you what workout we were doing tonight first.
Down at the Raw Fitness Maui gym it was deadlifts for our strength workout, and then this crazy combination of clean and jerk followed up by box jumps. Basically you clean and jerk weights for as many reps as you can for 30 seconds, rest 30 seconds, then box jump for 30 seconds. Sounds a little tough right? Did I mention we have to do five rounds in 10 minutes? It's a beautiful thing.
Anyway there were some new people at the gym, a haole couple. The guy was in great shape and the girl was pregnant but still in great shape. They were in the first heat and went ballistic. You count how many total reps you did for the clean and jerk and box jumps at the end of each round and then add it all up. Like for me I did 2 clean and jerks each round followed up by about 10 box jumps so my total for all five rounds was like 60 reps. I know, it's like a little kid's total right? Anyway, the pregnant girl does like 5 clean and jerks each round followed up by at least 20 box jumps so she's got like 100 reps or something. Her husband was clean and jerking weights through the roof and box jumped like Q*bert on crack. I didn't even want to see what his total was. I kept expecting the girl to give birth right there and have her kid jump out and start power cleaning his umbilical cord. Sigh.
No blog tomorrow. It's a rest day for Crossfit and I was planning to go hit the MMA gym but I have to take my son to the Maui County Fair Parade. I'll be back on Friday though. Stay tuned.
