Somebody stop the clock

I am not sure if it is a mental thing or just I have been sick thing but it seems like every since my birthday I have been hitting walls with everything I do.  Since my birthday I have had one really good day of lifting but that has been pretty much it.  I did a 10 min emom of 3 back squats and 10 sit ups with 235 on the back squat.  Other than that it has been rough with everything just not feeling right.  So today I went to do the underground and it completely destroyed my but I got through it.    Time to refocus a little bit on training and get it back.  Todays wod took me 40 minutes to get through but it was a good one.

Thank you very little
26 Cal Row
26 Ring Rows (feet on a box)
26 Russian Kettle bell Swings 53/36
26 Double Unders (78 singles)
26 Axle reverse lunges 65/45
26 GHD Hip Extension
26 Push Press w/ Axle 65/45
26 Wall Ball Shots 30/20
26 Roll outs with axle
26 Slam Balls
26 weighted sit ups 35/25
26 Box Jumps 30/24
26 Burpees
Start with a 100 Meter Run.. Every 6 minutes run 100 Meters. At the six minute mark you run and then restart the round you are in. So for example if you complete the row, the ring rows and get 15 kettle bells swings in 6 minutes you run and start the kettle bell swings over when you get back.

I think it was the wall balls that destroyed me today.  Everything else moved pretty easy but those really slowed me down.

Fail

I saw this T-shirt today and I think it was close to the truth but it missed one word.  It said fail then under each letter were the word First Attempt In Learning, I think it should say First Attempt is Learning.   We will all fail at some point in our life and if we don't we are not living.  Failure is as important in learning to work out as it is in life.   The first time you fail it is just a learning experience for the next time you try.   Learn to fail, fail often and learn from every time you fail.

Two good work outs Animal Style and War Horse

Yesterday was not the best day and I really needed something to kick my butt and I found it.  I will post what Thursdays WOD was because it was an amazing one.  I had two people join me for Thursday and they both did amazing.   The thought process for Thursday was that on Wed night I taught a beginner class and the guy was prior military and wanted a good push.  So I had him do a ten minute amrap of 4 dead lifts, 6 push ups, 8 sit ups and a 200 meter run.  So as he was working on it I started to think how could I make this even better so here is what I came up with. Animal Style 6 Rounds for Time 2 Sand Bag get ups I used an 85lbs bag and the two with me used 45lbs bags 4 Dead Lifts 225/95 6 Burpee Box Jumps (When thriller came on it got a bit silly) 8 weighted sit ups 30lbs slam ball 400 Meter run Animal style in order to leave the gym you had to bear crawl to the door about 35 feet and in order to get back to your weights you had to frogger the 35 ...

Humility

I have to give huge props to Tracy Jardim today.  He challenged me to a work out and then destroyed me in it.  There is a lot to be said about humility in crossfit.  It is one of the most important aspects of crossfit understanding that you might be doing something that you have never done before and it is ok to suck at it and do light weights.  Today was one of those days.  After coming back from a huge high on a new PR today Tracy challenged me to do one of the open workouts.  Now I have been looking at this WOD for a little while now and wanting to give it a try however, it had overhead squats in it and that was holding me back.  So glad someone pushed me into it because I needed the reality check and humility check.   So since I have started in crossfit I have never worked overhead anything really.  Before it was because of my shoulder and any weight overhead just felt bad and wrong.  Now it is because I have never worked overhead so...
