This is a work in progress. I thought that by planning this out I will have a road map to help me get to where I want to be. I fully expect that there will be days that there is no way I will be able to follow this template. This is by no means an exhaustive list and I am sure I have missed things and forgot important points. I am also sure that as I sit here without the aid of the food guide for the zone some of my measurements are not exact. Feel free to leave comments and suggestions. Do not condescend and belittle my efforts.

Thrusters and SDHP followed by 5 KM Run

CFWU x 2

Five rounds for time of:
95 pound Sumo deadlift high-pull, 15 reps
95 pound Thruster, 15 reps

18:32

This one just smashed me into the ground. Diet and H2O to blame.

Missed yesterdays WOD due to being at the Range. So I did it today.

5 km Run

22:10

Happy with my time considering I was wrecked even before starting it. Legs are super tight. Will have to be sure I continue to stretch. Having a fun time! Loving it.

30 Muscle Ups for time. New PR!


CWFU x 2 Very modified. Walking lunges and limited dips and pull ups

30 Muscle Ups for time. New PR

8:25

My time is not the PR. I got 13 consecutive Muscle Ups on my first set. This lead to a little break until I could get my arms back in order. Aiming for 15 by the end of the year.

Grace



CFWU x 3 (Subbed 5 Muscle ups for dips and Pull ups)

"Grace"

135 pound Clean and Jerk, 30 reps

Screwed this one up. Thought it was just Cleans. Don't feel too comfortable with the jerk protion anyways so would not have done it.

3:25

Practiced Handstands for 8 mins. Getting some solid results since working on using my fingers to adjust my balance.

Getting some serious negative feedback from one of the people at the gym. I think that she doesn't like that I am pushing for more crossfit stuff. This may be because she doesn't know a lot about it and doesn't like someone coming to her turf. Oh well.

Training Failure


My motivation.

I am gonna call a spade a spade.

I have been slacking off from working out due to extreme laziness. I have been thinking I am doing well even though my numbers in the WODs are sucking. I have recognized this and with that I hope to get myself back on track.

My game plan is to go to bed earlier and stop watching TV so late. Pay attention to what I am eating. I have almost stopped eating salads which I think is one of the reasons I was so successful in the first place. The three beers I have after work will have to wait for a special event. Such as a Bills game.

I hope that by admitting that I have been slacking I will be able to get myself back on track.

Post to comments.
