Sunday

Its been a while....

I have been working out. I have also been busy with my daughter and getting ready to run a new CrossFit affiliate in Carol Stream, IL. I am very excited to work for this company, ATI physical therapy, and excited to make CrossFit a career. I have been training a handful of people in functional fitness, but I was not sure if I would all out again after I went 'Beyond the Box'.

My training: I had a good program going for myself for a while, I was doing a max effort on a daily basis of some sort. Whether it was a max height box jump or a max load of something i.e. O-lift, squat or press. For the past 2 months I have not had the time to focus on these max efforts. I have really seen a decrease in my strength and I am very dissapointed in myself. I have become the METCON junkie I do not want to be. Now I really enjoy the METCON and LOVE breaking a sweat, But I equally enjoy adding more weight to a lift because I can.
WOD that made me notice how weak I had become-
with 135LB barbell do 5 rounds of
10 deads,
8 Hang power cleans
6 Front squats
4 Push Jerks

My partner lapped me one whole round. I cannot remember the last time I felt this weak in or after a WOD. I am going to change this now.

I will post my goals soon after I see where I am at with completed/incomplete Goals for this past year.
One goal for sure next year is to fix my Hip and back issue that is pretty much the biggest reason I fail at heavier loads.
