@deb......that is my plan anyways

@alden....at least you have snow.....I don't think there is a ski hill here in b.c. with more than 200 c.m. base for the year and there are at least 3 or 4 that have fully closed for the year.....enjoy your "pow" days :D

last nite at the gym after a 2.5 hour dentist appointment

3 x 15 w/16 kg kb in each hand one leg dead lifts

the gym was super busy by the time I got there and rather than being "that guy" who asked everybody to rearrange their bags, bottles, work stations, ect I went to my coach and asked him what I could sub so that I would not be that guy.......he said "why don't you do 10 x 40 yard yolk carry's?" so dumb a## me says "sure" thinking to myself how hard can this be.... then he adds "oh and do them zerker style"

when I got back inside I asked the chap who built the yolk "hey Andrew just how much is that darn thing?" "150lbs" he replied.

then it all began to make sense as to why I felt the way I did.

then

3 rounds

30 hollow rocks
10 toe touches

8 minutes easy rowing

freaking moving slow this morning........

If I skip a couple days of logging, each successive day becomes a little tougher because I feel obligated to fill in everything, until the prospect of doing all the back logging becomes overwhelming. Screw that.

Since I last logged, there was a 315 pound dead lift :) and a 7:47 Fran :mad: and I improved by 10 wall balls on the EC805 challenge.

3/4 WOD
Drop in at CrossFit Los Alamitos
A. E2O2 for 20 minutes.
Two clean and jerks, building from about 40% to 95% of one rep max.

I started at 75#, built to 165. I was able to squat clean until I got to 155, then had to power clean.

B. Open WOD 11.3
Max reps in 5 minutes of
Squat Clean & Jerk (165/110 lbs)
3 reps.

Worse than 11.3 but that’s OK since I didn’t push it that hard, and I had already done so many reps to get there. 11.3 was my first ever 165# C&J and I’m clearly stronger than that now.

Drove to Columbus


Thursday March 5th, 2015

Competed at Arnold Championship. 70/75/80kg snatches. 100/107/114kg c&j. The 114 got locked out overhead but had 2 out of 3 red lights. At least one judge thought it was good enough. Can't wait to see it on HookGrip at 300 frames/second.


Friday March 6th, 2015
Trained with current world champion and world record holder Tatiana Kashirina and her coach Vladimir Krasnov. Went back to the Arnold and helped a couple of RCW lifters.

A very interesting/encouraging/inspirational/educational few days in Columbus.

Time for a few "easy" days of walking and body work and general physical fitness before starting the program for the next meet (Pan Am Masters in June in Savannah Georgia).
