Happy New Year all. I will be heading to Texas for mobilization to Afghanistan in January. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with the CrossFit. Love it!
Yesterday was a wash - dunno whether it was the aftermath of back squats themselves or the pop in my hip I experienced but I had a high gravity day. Loaded up 225 for a warm-up set of deads and it felt heavy. 315 went up, grudgingly, once ... Put it aside, got some food, shower time and played with my boy Jake for a couple hours and then had another go. Started at 135 this time, then 225 but 315 just didn’t want to play.
So anyways, tectonic plates or gravitational forces or something must have shifted in the last 24 hours. Had a wake for my father-in-law, lots of food, banter and a few too many vino’s but managed the following
5x225
5x315
5x365
5x390 (PB)
Then attempted “Diane” as a pre challenge benchmark
Got 9 HSPU’s into the second round when I lost count and had to go to the video referee at which point I couldn’t be bothered (see too many vino’s).
Not the best but I’ll take that for today. See you all back here tomorrow for 2009!
I have an old rowing machine I bought for $5 and it doesn’t have any cal/mil counter so I tried to best estimate what it would have been. I did i cal for every 2 strokes near the hardest setting.
I’ve been waiting for this one to role around. I had to punch myself in the face to calm down. jk i know i’ll feel like i got the crap beat out of after i’m done though, still looking forward to it.
FIRST MUSCLE UP!!!!!....3 in fact…with witnesses, can it be any sweeter??? <smile>
Had a couple of goals in CF this year. 5 Min Fran (pack) check…..Muscle Up, made it with 12 hours to spare…..20 min Angie, not there yet…40 min Murph, running is still killing times.
Something to work for next year but all in all happy.
I would like to take a second and thank Brand X for all the posting, scaling, inspiration, help, and lots more. Would love to visit one day if in that part of the world or host if anyone on this side. Wishing everyone injury free success in the coming year
