I thought it was coincidence for awhile, but then I started to put two and two together. Whenever I drink my BCAAs before bed, I have strange, crazy dreams that night. I started to equate my dreams with BCAAs to my dreams when I take Tylenol or Ibuprofen PM, thinking that the muscle relaxing attributes…
Hah, I wonder how many people got married on this date? 4/4/14/ HOW CLEVER. Not really. Sucks that we’re out of those numbers now. Not until the 2100s! Pretty crazy. Jesus, I can’t even imagine. Anyway, deadlift day. I’ve been saying I’m one wrong move away from tweaking my back, so.. I figured today I…
Skill: 6×1: 3 Cone Drill (10yds) Record Fastest TimeWOD: 3 Rounds50 – Wall Balls30 – DU10 – MU Cone drills suck. They make you feel like the skin is separating from the bottoms of your feet through your shoes. I don’t recommend. Just run instead. As I can’t do muscle ups, the mod is 3…
Oh fun plyo pushups. My first WOD back from Miami and I was ready to go! Strength: 1RM HBBS WOD: 8 Minute Climbing Ladder2 – Plyo Pushups (2-45′s/2-25′s)2 – Pull Ups I ended up getting 235 on the high bar back squat. My max is 255, but I really prefer low bar. Whatevs. Plyo push…
I started my previous post to include this as well, but that took on a life of its own. I had previously scheduled my 14.5 to be done at Peak 360 in Miami, where I had done my Level 1 training but I still wanted to be sure that was all okay. After my yoga…
We got to Miami on Tuesday the 25th. We knew we’d be away from the office, to work remotely, to see friends and family, and I expected to do a workout here and a yoga there. I like making plans because then I tend to keep them more, so this is exactly what I did.…
Trying to re-capture my excitement from my 14.4 experience is difficult, especially as I sit here with a chore list a million miles long. (We leave for Miami tomorrow.) BUT.. I was ecstatic! What WAS 14.4? Well, if you follow crossfit, you’re probably sick of hearing about it already, but here it is: In 14…
I didn’t know if this was really facebook-worthy, but I can totally post it here and not feel weird about it. So I ran into an old Crossfitter friend today and I waved hello and said “What’s up?” but she looked at me like “who are you?” with this totally confused look on her face.…
WOO PR!!!! And on a day where, as usual, I didn’t expect to PR anything 🙂 Strength: 10 Minutes to find a 1RM Push Jerk I got 175!! HOLY SHIT I can push 175 freaking pounds over my head. That’s nuts. My wrists were really my only set back. Oh well. Still AWESOME. Russ said…
So…. my attempts at going to the gym were unsuccessful, however I did get my yoga on a few days, which at least.. we did SOMETHING, right? And Dave was gone, and my friends came into town (awesome!) AAAND I got the gross stomach bug that swept the Jax Beaches and beyond. Luckily it was…
