Two of my non-favorite exercises were part of today’s WOD. Funny I am actually starting to like press. Remember when I was bitching about how much I hate it? Well it’s still not at the top of my list but I am not dreading it as much as I used to. Does this mean I am getting stronger?
I’ve been working on my clean technique. It’s pretty ugly. I hate doing it in the WOD because I am so unsure of myself. It continued to be pretty ugly today. My technique seems to just go out the window when I try to do more than a few in a row. Anyway…. getting to the rowing. I am always the last one off the machine. It doesn’t matter if I am the first one on, I am always dead last. I suck so much. I don’t know what I am doing wrong.
Well after the WOD, one of the other guys started with …”Not to be rude or anything your rowing sucks.” I said don’t worry about it. I know it sucks. I climbed back on the machine. He sat down beside me on another machine and gave me clear pointers. I am such a wreck when I try to listen to instructions and row at the same time. Often Dave will shout do this, do that, and it will go in one ear and out the other. Slowing down and focusing on the proper technique seemed to do the trick. I feel better already. Can’t wait to row again!
