The Start of it All

I have been kind of slack with posting this past week. I have not, however, been slack with training. I've been busting it every day. 

 Today marks the beginning of what Im calling my competition season. Wodapalooza qualifier started tonight with the release of 2 out of the 6 workouts. There will be 2 workouts announced every week on Wednesdsy at 8pm, and the scores must be submitted by Sunday at 8pm. This is one of the largest crossfit competitions outside of the actual Crossfit Games. As much as I am excited about these competitions I am as equally nervous. This will only be my 2nd crossfit competition ever, so we will see how it goes. 

 I tested WOD 1 tonight, the 4RM S2O and got 235. Hopefully I'll be able to up that to 245. 

 I also have a weightlifting meet this coming Saturday where I will be competing in the snatch and clean and jerk. I have Ideas of what I would like to hit, but the numbers I chose will all depend on how I feel that day. 

 At the conclusion of wodapalooza I will have a 1 week break then will be going straight into the 3 week ECC online qualifier. 

 I am looking forward to seeing the progress I have made and seeing what areas I need to improve in. So out of the next 7 weeks, 6 of them will be competition weeks. 

 There are a lot of new plans in the works. I will put up an update on the blog when they are offical. 

 I'm not going to take the time to post everything I've done the past week, but if you are looking for something to light you up give this one a try. (It almost killed Hudson and I) 

 EMOM X 20 Minutes 
Even - 7 Deadlifts (315#) 
Odd - 7 Deficit Strict/Kipping HSPU (6")
(3 strict and 4 Kipping HSPU is what we tryed to keep)

"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...
