Dammit

Well, there go the Crossfit Games. I'm not letting myself get too down on it. I've not been doing it very long, true, and the weight was awfully high for a lot of people, not just me. I mean, while I've gotten in shape, building strength hasn't been my sole focus, so putting my body weight over my head just isn't something I think I was prepared to do at this point. That said, I think alot of it was form. I got the 165 past my waist, but I couldn't slip under it for the clean; I felt like I was muscling it and I'm definitely not strong enough for that. Anyways, now I've got a goal. And there's still next week's workout.

Woops

Woops. This is supposed to be the easy blog. Write what you do, that's it, and still I forget for a week. Ah, well. Now there's plenty to update you on. Actually, less than I would like. I've had to take up a second job to help pay for life, so I've had to seriously cut back on free time for the gym. It makes me very sad.

I'm Getting Too Old For This...

Oh man, am I feeling it lately. I've got some delightful scratches and bruises developing on my arms and legs making it look like I've been beaten and harassed by feral cats. At any rate, I keep going. This week's games workout was posted today: 9 deadlifts, 12 pushups, 15 box jumps AMRAP 15 minutes. So I've got that to do on thursday.

The Crossfit Games!

Today was the day that I did the first workout for the Crossfit Games (as previously mentioned) and, well, I wasn't happy with my results. It's silly of course because I have no expectation whatsoever to do well in this competition and, honestly, I did about as well as I had expected to. Still...Anyways, see the workout below:

Embarassing...

Spring Time!

So....oh! I've signed up for this thing called the Crossfit Games and, long story short, it involves me doing a certain prescribed workout every week and then posting my scores and feeling ashamed/proud of myself. This week's workout (no, I haven't done it yet, get off my back!) 30 double unders, 15 power snatch (75 lbs) AMRAP 10 minutes. Ugh, why did I sign myself up for this?
