Was planning on doing deadlift and bench today...ran into more lower back issues with the deads so, just did bench. This starting to scare me/tick me off. I felt strong during the first 2 warmup sets then BOOM! Tightness and Pain. Not sure what the deal is but I had the same issue on 12/03 doing deadlifts.

Deadlift

10 - 135
7 - 185
5 - 235 (F)

Was planning on a 3x5.

Bench

10 - 95
7 - 135
5 - 155
3 - 185
3 - 195
3 - 200
3 - 200
3 - 200

overall a bad and disappointing day. need to get this lower back issue squared away.

Okay...I was going nuts sitting around not doing anything so I figured I had to do something today. I know I can't lift anything heavy yet...back still isn't right so I went for a light run for 40 minutes. wasn't too bad. Left knee is a bit sore but the pain isn't too bad.

Ran 40 minutes

My house to in between N Edgewood and S Edgewood back about 3 houses past mine. About 4 miles. It was a bit chilly but not too bad overall.

Tomorrow is a "pick your own workout" day at the affiliate...I think I may to 'Annie'.

Back still isn't right...we had 'benchmark day' at the affiliate today though. Almost everybody did 'grace' I wish I could've partaked (partook? partooked?) anyway. I wanted to do something that wasn't going to hurt my lower back so, I did 'annie'. Figured DU's are still a weakness.

Also - Insult to injury, hurt my darn ankle running yesterday, owell.

'Annie'

13:50

PR by over 3 minutes.

going to do shoulders tomorrow I think.

Thrusters 75#

Ring dips

Welp! found another weakness! I actually never did ring dips in a workout so, shame on me!

9:58

The ROM on the last few dips of each set were very ugly. Probably only moved a few inches. I also don't know how to kip those.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]01/08/09[/B]

First semi heavy day in a while. I didn't want to push it with my knees and back issues. Plus I haven't slept well in 3 days...and I'm still destroyed from Angie...Okay, enough crying.


Front Squat

10 - 92
7 - 132
3 - 162
3 - 182
3 - 182
3 - 192
3 - 192

Felt okay. Looking forward to rest day tomorrow.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

JD-

Nice work I'm seeing here... took me a while to get through reading a bunch of your WODs.

Hope you figure out the back/dead lift issue.

Ring dips are a weakness of mine too.

Funny you just did Angie. We've got that scheduled for our Affiliate WOD on Sunday. Of course - I can't do the squats (which take me the least amount of time anyway), and since I got a huge rip in my hand from yesterday's WOD, I likely won't be doing pull ups either. Oh well.

Keep up the good work!
