New Equipment Came In

Find your heaviest of the complex: 
Squat Clean 
Front Squat 
Front Squat 
Jerk 

 135, 155, 165, 185, 205, 215, 225, 235, 245(f) 

 I got up to about where I had guessed, but if I wasn't as sore as I was I might have been able to get that 245. I need to work on not being so quad dominant on my front squats. 

 Strict Shoulder Press 2RM 

 75, 95, 115, 125, 135, 145 

 My back position started to get a little ugly so I stopped after 145. 

 "The Animal"
For time: 
100 Kettlebell Swings 70#
7:38

 I put my new KB to good use today. This was the first time I had done this workout so I didn't know what to expect. I started with a set of 15 then did sets of 10 up until 75 reps. I ended with a set of 13 and 12. Kettlebell Swings are something I need quite a bit of work on, and I can guarantee that I will destroy that weakness. 


6 x Standing Triple Jump 

 25-27 feet is an estimate 

 I used my feet to measure distance so it is by no means an exact measurement. 

 My friend Blake asked me to play in a church softball game tonight which lasted about an hour. I had 3 hits and a walk. It was fun to just fool around and not take it serious.

Crossfit Games Training Update

My goal as I have mentioned many times. . . is to qualify for the Crossfit Games. Over the past week or so I have made a few changes to my regimen, but I now feel confident that I have a solid plan to reach a smaller goal by the crossfit open next year. Qualify for the South East Regionals. There is a lot I need to improve on between now and march to make this dream a reality. I feel that if I train as hard as I can and try to eliminate as many weaknesses as possible that I will have a decent shot. However, I am not expecting to qualify for Regionals; that is my goal and I am going to do everything in my power to make it happen. The result in the end is all dependent on weather its God's will or not. If it happens to be that I make regionals, then great, but if not then I will except it and continue to train as hard as possible for the next year. Now its time to talk about all the training and hard work that is going to have to happen between now and march. When it comes...

Liberty University Trip Recap

This past Thursday I went up to Lynchburg, Virginia, to visit Liberty University. I was up there for what they call CFAW (college for a weekend). I left Thursday morning and arrived there around 4pm. We checked in, found the room I was staying in, had dinner, and walked around campus for a while. That night we went to a welcome meeting with the other 2,000 high school students attending CFAW. Afterwards I headed back to my room and got to know some of the students there and here what they had to say about Liberty.  Before I continue to go on with what I did this weekend, here is a little bit about Liberty. Liberty is the largest Christian university in the world with 14,000 residential students and over 100,000 online students. They have the most recreational facilities of any college I've even been to or visited. Facilities that are free to students include;  - gun range  - multiple camp sites  - 50 miles of hiking trails (mountain biking)  - motor cross ...
