Sunday – Rest day, so that meant I ate a gluten free donut, then a breakfast taco, and a homemade mocha. Then I had an arepa. And cooked all day. So pretty much my life was surrounded by food…like usual.

Monday – 

Back Squats: 6 x 3. First set at 75%. Add as you go –  My heaviest set was 160# and felt like crap. Wonderful.

THEN

With a 4 min clock:
400m Run
AMRAP OF:
5 Power Cleans (185/135) – I used 95#
5 Front Squats – same weight

2 min REST THEN

With a 4 min clock:
400m Run
AMRAP OF:
5 Power Cleans (155/105) – I used 85#
5 Front Squats – same weight
Take 15% off from first round.

I got 2+8 and then 3+7 

Tuesday – Another day I felt like poop. Thankfully I like push jerks and burpees, but my elbows felt like they were dislocating the whole time. Not into it.

Deadlift: 5 x 3. Add as you go – My heaviest set of 3 was 205# 

Between sets 10/6 Strict handstand push ups or 5 slow as possible negatives or 40sec HS Hold. – I did 6 HSPU to 1 ab mat every set

THEN

15-12-9-12-15 Reps For Time Of:
Push Jerks (155/105) – I used 90# (sometimes my coach and I meet in the middle, I wanted to do 85# he wanted me to do 95#, so I did 90#)
Burpees

I finished in 9:00.

Wednesday – You’re never going to believe this, but I felt like crap once again. Working out was stupid last week.

With a Running Clock:

0-9 mins: Find a Heavy 3 rep Squat Clean. Quick reset. – I got 135#

9-12 mins: REST and change weight

12-20 mins: For Time:
500m Row
30 Pull Ups
400m Run

I finished in 5:28 rx

20-26 mins: AMRAP OF:
5 Squat Cleans (205/145) – I used 95#
15 hand release push ups
30 Double Unders

I got 2+13. I hate that last part.

Thursday – REST DAY EFF YEAH!! All 3 of my last workouts felt crappy and I felt weak, so I decided a couple of rest days were in need. Sometimes you just need to listen to what your body is telling you. And mine was telling me that it needed to shop and eat. So that’s exactly what I did in Boulder. I shopped with a personal shopper, Liz from Mile High Style, and shopped at Common Threads and Chelsea and found AMAZING stuff for an upcoming photo shoot! Can’t wait to show you guys. Then I cooked up some stuff for something special. Can’t wait to tell you about that!

Friday – ANOTHER REST DAY EFF YEAH!! I was lazy as sh*t.

Saturday – This workout wasn’t on the website, it just said come in for a hero workout. So we knew it would be bad. And it definitely was. I hadn’t done this workout in probably 3 years and I hated it WAY more this time around. I do more sprint workouts on a regular basis so this one kicked my ass. 

“Badger”

3 rounds for time of:
30 squat cleans (95/65)
30 Pull-ups
Run 800 meters

I got 36:30 rx

    Work out alarm went off this morning and I DID NOT want to go..Then I thought ..WHAT WOULD JULI BAUER DO!!!

  4. amanda says:

    Thank you for this! I sometimes feel guilty for not killing myself in wods. Then I think to myself “its a workout, dummy”. I do it to be healthy and look good naked, not to die! You are amazing. You keep truckin.

      right?! I died of cuteness overload.

  8. Krissy says:

    I can’t believe you did Badger in 36:30 – you are a beast. We did it on Friday, and it took me 50 minutes rx! So painful.

  9. Christina Alexander says:

    Hey Juli! When do you workout/coach? This might be a little creepy but I will be in Denver at the end of September and would love to come workout/meet you!

    1. juli says:

      I work Monday mornings and Wednesday evenings. I workout at different times every day depending on what work I have to get done, so I can’t be very helpful with that, but usually 430 or 530

      1. Christina Alexander says:

        Awesome, hope to meet you! 🙂
