Initializing

My very first CrossFit Total... December 22, 2008

Back Squat: 205
Shoulder Press: 105
Deadlift: 295

Grand Total? Drumroll please.... 605.

I am an embarassment to man.

Hmm...

Ok, I didn't find much... apparently most of my online rants have been deleted. What I did find, however, is my first OFFICIAL CrossFit workout that occured on Wednesday, December 10, 2008 at the CFDC. I didn't make a post with my personal results, but that's probably because I was dead f*cking last.

The WOD was:

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

95# OHS

knees-to-elbows

I only used the 45# barbell and I STRUGGLED with the OHS's... knees-to-elbows I knocked out quickish. Total time? Probably the same amount of time it takes coal to morph into diamond... Ridiculous, but a starting point nonetheless.

Consolidation

THREE! TWO! ONE! GOOOO!...

It's time to giddy-up. This blog is a personal attempt to collect and organize my thoughts. It will primarily function as a fitness and nutrition blog, but I  fully expect to post some random ravings on subjects far removed from the pursuit of a perfect clean and jerk. 

That said, the first few posts here will be a consolidation of past posts and memoirs from various sites. I've spread my mental jelly across the world wide web, albeit on a considerably modest level. I'll collect what I can find here if for no other reason than to add some flavor to the pot. 

Lastly, I want to throw big thanks at the brothers Nix and the CFDC family as a whole for the inspiration and motivation to mentally and physically better myself. I have never been a part of anything more rewarding. You are all rock-stars.

Squat, Row, Run, Eat, Sleep, Repeat...

Overhead Squat 5 Rep Max

5-5-5-5-5

Rest 3-5 Minutes, then:

Tabata Row

115# was my last set of 5... I also did 1 rep of 135# which felt pretty good. I'm a little ashamed of these loads, but when I consider that I could barely OHS the bar 2 months ago I get all warm and fuzzy inside... CFDC you rock! I look forward to EVERY workout. Well, except the back-to-back Murphy's next week. (joking)

Tabata Row: 118.88m (pure pain)

5x200m @ 90%...think we averaged 36sec? Not bad considering the traffic we were dodging!

*this is post-dated admission that I threw in just for completion sake
