  • General: The conditioning wasn't exactly a heart-pounder like I thought it might be. Apparently 135# is still pretty heavy for a push press for me as I thought I've have a lot easier time busting out the reps but it turned out to be the thing that held me back most. I got the first 13 unbroken on the first round which is around a 5 rep PR from the last time I push pressed a plate for max reps. Did back extensions because I think it's time to start working in some work for my back while I can't deadlift.
  • Nutrition: Awesome. I had 7 eggs today with no stomach pains.
  • Body: Legs are trashed in every imaginable way from my hips to my knee. Traps and triceps are pretty sore too.
  • Sleep: 8-9 hours
  • Reflections: Happy with today's work out. Found out something today that made me really excited and I can consider a life PR-- I'm going to be minoring in music at Springfield College. Previously I was told that you could only minor in 2 categories with a Physical Education major but my advisor told me if I take a summer course next year I'll have no problem graduating. Really excited about this as I think the void I lost in my life from lacrosse will be filled with guitar down the road. I'll be taking singing courses among other things which will really help me advance my career with music, that being something I'm really interested in doing. Training is going good, I'm happy with the switch back to Crossfit already. Feeling healthier in general.

On another note I also am taking a gymnastics course at school and I'm learning to do a lot of things that will help me train Crossfit. Soon we'll be doing handstands and ring work so I'll be 10x the gymnast I was before this course in a few months.
