Vacation Update:

Been out of town and skiing in cold weather all weekend.  Just arrived back home and it's great to be back.  We all had a great time.  Ate something that turned stomach to liquid last Thursday and it is still cramping.  Been able to work through it but eating anything causes feeling of nausea and cramping.  Bizarre… I hope I get over it soon although I seem to be able to work through it when I have to.  Starting WOD's again tomorrow.

Iced shoulder all day today and it hasn't felt this good in a while.  Continuing to power ice through next week or as long as necessary to maintain improvement.

Ate something at lunch today that liquified the stomach and caused cramping all day. Almost didn’t follow through with workout.

The helping hand that loaded the sled loaded it with x6 45# plates instead of x5. I didn’t know it until I was unloading it post wod. Pushing the sled was more like churning in low gear as I could never get enough momentum past the first round to get into a run.

Strength

1) Every 45 seconds for 7:30 (22 total reps):

2 Banded Deadlifts @ 50% Bar Weight + 20% Band Tension

Notes: The bar should be loaded with 50% of the 1RM Deadlift. Band tension should equal 20% of 1RM at the top of the lift. Judging band weight and setup is explained in this DEMO VIDEO

2) Bench Press: 1X5 @ 85%, 1X3 @ 90%, 1X3 @ 95%, 2X3 @ 100% – based off heaviest set from 121116, rest 90+ seconds.

Disappointed about the conditioning. I forgot to time the burpees because I was more focussed on trying to game my C&J’s and time so I could do it as RX’d. The weight was too much for me today and couldn’t risk taking 2 steps back on the shoulder rehab.

Treating today as kind of a recovery day but blasted a quick cardio session out with Lee Lyles, a games athlete from FRCF that now lives a few miles away.  Looking forward to working out with him again.  We decided to do an OPT challenge I had several months ago.  I did it with my 12 year old boy at the time and got about 330-340 calories if I recall.  I'm hitting this one again and it's gonna hurt.

365FY+ on Airdyne:  Each of you sprint 30 seconds for 10 minutes and try to acquire 365+ calories.

Total: 379 calories

Post WOD:  I should have warmed up for this one.  Lee was all fired up to jump in cold but I assure you he or I won't be making that same mistake again.  It's a smoker but we hit our mark!

Skill

12 Minutes Chest Facing Wall Handstand & Shoulder Touch Practice.

Done

Notes: The goal is to get into and maintain the handstand with exclusively the nose and feet in contact with the wall. If you can get into and maintain the handstand within these parameters begin to try to some shoulder touches. Do not let your hands or nose drift away from the wall while performing shoulder touches. It is imperative that a hollow body position be maintained for this drill. Obviously, do not allow the desire to keep your nose on the wall end in injury—it’s not that serious.

Started Crossfit in June 2006.  Did main site WODS for 3.5 years and posted daily on crossfit.com blog.  Transitioned to OPT Big Dawg program thereafter and have been there ever since.  I've branched off a few times to build strength and try out the effects of other major programs along the way but my home and heart will always be with OPT.  The blog starts now!
