Back At It

We're all moved in finally and I feel like I can start to hit it with everything I've got again. I'll be posting every day to track my progress, or lack thereof. It's obviously been a long time since I posted last but during the summer I was training at Crossfit 480 in Scottsdale. It was fun to get back into a class atmosphere and compete again. It was even more fun to win:)

I was actually surprised at how well I did because the class I went to was the competitive class with some big dudes that should have been able to out lift the crap out of me. I definitely held my own. That being said, my lifts suck. I want to get so much stronger its ridiculous. I'm tired of being strong "for a short guy". I'm upping my protein intake again and going to start to eat double what I used to. During the summer I got up to 156lb, but have probably lost 10lbs in the last 4 weeks due to pneumonia and moving chaos.

I'm ready to bring it though and start hitting full two-a-days with a serious strength component and goat component. Although, today I won't be working on any goats:)

Strength:
Bench 5x5 165
 (Easing back into this)

This was easy as crap.

Skill:
2 Rounds AMRAP 1 minute: Power Cleans 155lbs

11/12

I was alright w/ this. I was hoping to get 13-14. Nick Urankar, CF Games freak and physical specimen, got 14/14. A lot of my training is going to be based off of his WODs.

WOD 1: 21-15-9
Box J.
Power Cleans 135lbs
Burpees

Time: 11:21

Pneumonia got the best of me on this WOD. Should have been super easy and HPC would have sped this WOD up substantially. I rested way too much on the power cleans. I had zero muscle fatigue at all. My lungs were on fire and I had several coughing attacks.

WOD 2: 3 Rounds
5 DL 305lbs
500m Row

Time: 8:46

I did this WOD this morning. Again, DL's were easy but my chest/lungs were killing me. I'm not too concerned w/ speed just yet. Speed typically comes back quickly for me.
