- General: Well my first day on my program went great, at least at my gym. I'm officially back in the 400# DL "club". My CFT is now 865 which is a 90# pr from when I did it in August, and that's with a near 4 month break of little to no strength training.
- The run probably led to the worst 2 hours of my life. I got my car stuck in a snow bank where you park at Riverlin st. trails. Keep in mind today is the coldest day of the year. The dashboard on my car said it was -2 degrees at the time, and this is at 7pm. Decided to call my mom, to which I was told she was at her boyfriend's over a half hour away. I call my dad (reluctantly) and explain to him, and he says he can't get me either. So I decided to just start running with the snow shoes on (trails were perfect didn't even need them) and call my girlfriend to ask her to get me after I'm done. After 20 minutes on the trails I decide to instead run home (2 miles away) and get my shovel to try to get my car out. I run back and spend half hour jumping around in the snow to try getting my car out, but to no avail. My dad finally decides he'll come get me, without telling me of course. He decides since he can't find me and I'm not answering that I'm home, so he goes home. I call him and tell him to come get me and by that point I've been waiting outside for him for a half hour. As I gather everything I need to leave my car there for the night, I snap my $110 oakley's I just got for christmas by accident. Fuck me right? UGH rant over.
- Nutrition: Good, strict minus milk and whey
- Body: I feel really good.
- Sleep: 7-8 hours
- Reflections: Can't wait to just go to sleep and forget about tonight. I'm going to start doing PU negatives a lot because I know they'll help. Also figured I should just address it head on- Yes, I now do things like bicep curls. In truth I've been doing them regularly for about a month now but not posting them because I know how Crossfitters feel about them, and I did once consider myself one. One of my goals besides performance is to get bigger and having big arms has always been a goal of mine. I've already seen an increase in size in the brief time I've been doing them, so I will be keeping them. Shit on me, whatever but they are MY goals after all. Crossfit tomorrow and some type of intervals.

wow ben that sucks. at least you got a few miles in on the roads...did you time yourself on shoveling out the car? and i have noticed a slight tightness in your upper sleeve region. hahaha! don't forget about the backstage pass though (tri's). keep it up.
What have I told you about checking out my arms Contois? I'll get the kickbacks today at the gym
On the bright side, you pulled 4 wheels. Nice work.
