Next Saturday we have a doge ball comp happening and I was one of the 10 people picked for team captain by our coach.

When I left the gym the nite before I had our team picked and written on the white board and when I got there yesterday I looked at the white board and all the previous team members for all the teams were changed. I asked the coach what’s up and he said he did that to make it a bit more fun and so that we could all meet some of the new people that have joined the gym over the past few months.

Fair enough no complaints from me there.

I asked him who ed was as he was the only chap on the team I did not know who it was. Coach said I put him your team cause the 5 of you like to drink. O.k. fair enough I guess because it is true the rest of the team certainly does like its wobbley pops.:rofl:

The next class starts to show up and one of the other team members shows up looking his usual dapper self in matching nike shirt and shorts and shoes. As well as unbeknowest to me our new team member shows up.

In the middle of the 5 planks of death jesse comes up to me and says “so I said to ed see that guy in the nike gear he is on your team and your captain is that guy benching with the red wings (my wife last week laced a pair of red satin wings in the laces of my shoes cause they will make me go faster) on his shoes and the simpsons t shirt.” :D :kicking0:

thanks jesse i forgot we were susposed to fit and fashionable at the gym.....

I am really surprised by the number of people at this globo who do not use proper form with the kettle bells. Twice this week I witnessed this while people were being supervised by the club trainers.

Your ortho knows my ortho...

Mine told me to just swim!!! Yeah... I listened to him for a while and just kept getting worse ( knees...back,etc).

[/QUOTE]

Michael/ Cliff - Thanks for the encouragement. That is what I decide to do; listen to my body and keep doing what makes me happy.

Pat - Glad to see you back. Hope you kick all the illness issues and get back to normal soon.

Wendler 5+ week
Press 135 X5
Deadlift 175 X10

Lots of core work this week. TGUs, walking lunges with plates, farmer carries, etc.
The sciatica isn't any worse or better, the back doesn't hurt and my mental state is good. Can't ask for more than that. ;)

Friday November 22, 2013

Warmup:
rowing, pushups

Metcon1:
high knees, and burpees.
The high knees worked my hip flexor to exhaustion.
It was really odd, like working bicep curls to failure.

Metcon2:
Every 90 seconds on the 90 seconds
hang cleans, push jerks, single unders


Saturday November 23, 2013
Travelled to CrossFit Tiffin with Tim.
Was good to see Jarred and Eric today.
Did some rowing, coached up some rowers.
Worked on Oly lifts, hit snatch PR.
Worked on straight arms for cleans.
Hit 225 C&J (not a PR)
Hit a 125 squat clean, it felt easy, need to continue to experiment with squat clean and snatching using a squat (todays PR was a split/muscle snatch).
