Wow.
You know, you think you're good at something and then . . .
Today's WOD was 21, 15, 9 reps of handstand pushups and kettlebell squats.
I've said it over and over again about how handstand pushups are my thing. But 21 reps of anything is . . . tough.
I hit 15 and then had to do 2 at a time. Then when 15 came up I was doing something like 2 or 1 at a time.
The shoulders were shot. Doing shoulder presses for strength didn't help either but that's how we roll at RFM.
I wasn't even phased by the KB squats. I couldn't even believe it. I felt like my body betrayed me.
Ikaika was like, "See? What did I tell you? HSPU's were killer today."
Yeah, I gotta admit he was right. That might have been one of the longest first sets that I have ever done. Or as Ikaika put it, I couldn't wait to get off that wall tonight.
Just goes to show you, be careful for what you ask for, you might just get it.
Been a helluva week back gang. I can't wait for till my body gets somewhat reconditioned to RFM soon. This week off has been brutal trying to get back.
In the meantime, I've finally gotten those Fight Gone Bad photos off my phone. Here we go . . .

Ah yes, here we are receiving instructions from our fearless leader . . .
I'm sure he's giving out some important instructions, but I was busy taking pics
Did I mention that Rikki was a ham for the camera? Just in case you didn't notice
Got the stairway shot of Kristi demonstrating wall balls, which were the most hated station
Here's Val jumping. As you can tell my cell phone camera doesn't do so well with motion
I think this is . . . who the hell is this?
Okay someone help me out here, she's just too fast for the camera to capture
I can only imagine this conversation, "This is going to suck babe, sorry."
"See, told you."
At this point I finally got smart and waited for them to stop moving before I took a pic. Nice Rikki.
Nalani push pressing
This might be the only real good non-blurry action shot I got
Did manage to catch Shauna at the top of the box jumps, that was cool.
Ah Kats, he loves to smile. Won't be for long though.
See what I mean?
See how busy I am taking pictures? Probably why I missed counting some of Kats' reps
Fight Gone Bad. Hate it and love it at the same time. Mostly hate it, especially the wall balls
By the way, props to Carol and Rikki for maintaining their blog. What's up Kehau? You are cardio blog bogging. It's not like pushing a Hyundai you know, you gotta work at it.
Enjoy the pictures gang,
Rod
