Last Week of Smolov Jr.

The 2014 Reebok Crossfit Games just ended this past Sunday. I have A LOT of thoughts after watching each event this past week. I will share those this coming weekend on my way down to Florida since I have 10 hours in a car.

I am not going to take the time to type up all the training I have done the past 5 days. I honestly don't even remember much of it other than I finished the 2nd week of Smolov Jr. and started week three yesterday. I also continued the C2B Pull Up progressions yesterday with 7 sets of 7 with 60 second breaks.

A little comparison between Rich and I.

I will post what I did today tomorrow.

"Goodman" For time:  1 Clean and Jerk 225#  100 ft Sled Push 225#  2 Clean and Jerk 205#  100 ft Sled Push 225#  3 Clean and Jerk 185#  100 ft Sled Push 225#  4 Clean and Jerk 155#  100 ft Sled Push 225#  5 Clean and Jerk 135#  100 ft Sled Push 225#  14:28  I have never done sled pushes mixed with another movement before this. It was quite a quad burner. The sled pushes really slowed me down. The clean and jerks weren't really a problem; I went threw them fast every round. Turning the sled around was also a pain. Next time I do something like this I will just push the sled the full distance instead of stopping, turning around, and coming back.  Overhead Squat 1-1-1-1-1  135, 155, 185, 205(f), 225 I felt very unstable under the bar for some reason. It might be because I just did goodman, but I still need to work on it even if it was because I was fatigued.  5 rounds alternating with a partner:...

Legs feelin' quite Toasty

My legs are feelin' quite toasty today. Literally I can barely walk. I decided to take a rest day and try and recover by stretching out. Hopefully I can go at it hard tomorrow.   I hate taking rest days, because in my mind I feel if I'm not putting in work then someone else is and they are getting better when I am not. At the beginning of the year I made a promise to myself that I would be the hardest working crossfit athlete in the country. So far id have to say that has not happened; for many reasons. I started the year off with baseball which took quite a bit of time away from training. Then soon after baseball started I broke my hand, which put me out for about 8 weeks. NOW. . . I'm back full force and ready to kill it! I have treated this week as a getting back into it type week. Next week, I'm going to put my best foot forward and start training at 100%. I will be starting back up with the second phase of Smolov on Monday, and will continue to focus on b...
