Hatch cycle 2 week 3 day 1

Back Squat

8x215
8x235
8x250

Front squat
5x170
5x180
5x195
5x195

Not sure if it happened this day or saturday. But I felt like I got a bit of a knot in my back causing a stiff neck. Then monday night it got really bad and woke me up at 230am. It was bad enough that I went to the ER last night. Pinched nerve..taking a few days off and some prednisone, pain killers and muscle relaxers until it gets better. First time taking any prescription drugs in about 6 years, but the pain was unbearable.

Pinched nerves in the neck can be absolutely debilitating. Get better soon JD.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

Not sure why I thought it was May the last few times I entered stuff :-). Wishful thinking...

Started the Mile Challenge on Friday - and as it turns out running is about the only thing i've been doing lately that doesn't hurt. Pretty much just run a mile every day. No matter what. You can only bank 2 days. (so you can run 3 miles on friday and take a weekend off if needed).

First day of spring to the first day of fall.

So...

I think on Thursday I didn't do much except some incline pushups just to see how weak my left arm is...it's weak.

First time doing burpees in a while...

Set up some physical therapy for my pinched nerve as well...also weighed in at about 194 with clothes yesterday. I had to be about 210 - 215 when I started to dial it in mid January. Feel much better around 190 - probably would be optimum at about 185. Not really concerned about that now though. Just want to get this disc/nerve thing squared away.
