Thursday May 8th

Still feeling less than 100%.

Walked 1 mile
2 minute goblet squat
10 OHSx45#

Three rounds of:
10 Dumbell presses with each hand
10 pull downs (simulating bar muscle up)
5 dips (with green band assistance)
5 T2B (discovered that if I bend my toes in and towards my shins they are much more likely to hit the bar, which is a big problem for a guy with T-rex arms like me)
20 single unders
2 double unders
(This whole "metcon" was made at a pedestrian pace b/c I was having a hard time breathing due to the cold/sinus infection/spring allergies and b/c my body was feeling pummeled by yesterday's Oly practice).

At the end, did 5 pistols to a box on each side.

MC and Judging at NFT CrossFit, lots o' fun watching some great athletes.
Good to see Jarrod and the crew from Tiffin.

Afterwards, did a deadlift workout. Ran out of room on the bar (didn't have any metal plates). Ran out b/c I got 495!!!!!!

Walked a couple laps around the farm when I got home.

alden...i have this posted on my wall at work and look at it the first thing every morning when i walk into my office

life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, drink in the other, body throughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WHOO-HOOO" what a ride!

@Alden, sorry to hear about the health problems, glad to see you back.

Sunday May 11, 2014
Happy Mother's Day

On the Drive 'O Desire (which is in front of the Garage 'o Grunts and the Shed 'o Pain {where the concrete is currently curing})

2 minute goblet squat
OHS
10x11#
10x45#
5x65# (Yay!)

Front squats to 245#, bail/fail at 255# (had it moving up though!)
I have to improve my front squat a LOT to achieve my goal of a 300# C&J.
Right now I can power clean more than I can squat clean...

"Metcon"
3 rounds
20 double unders
3 squat cleans at 95#
(I had to sit down after the dubs on each round)

and yes:
It's better to burn out,
Than to fade away,
My my, hey hey.
