  11. Hamilton,

    Side effects of Orthorexia include: weight loss, euphoria, and the sudden loss of the ability to do Double Unders.

    I'm suffering as well.

    DUs felt fine, but I got really tired in the shoulders and chest after the first 80. Didn't miss any, legs/calves felt fine, but I could only do them in 5s and 10s afterward because it was so hard to keep swinging the rope.

    B- 95-95-100 Not bad
    C-143
    D- GHD at bb gym where I was has horrible pads ... and my glutes/ hammies are needing lots o' work..

    Did 2X 15 three second static holds at 60°, and ended with 15 good mornings with 50 lbs.

    Notes: I strained my back on the 2nd set of deadlifts and it made the DUs really tough. In retrospect, I should have shut it down but I am stubborn. Strain is limited to the erectors so ice, trigger point, rest and I should be good for the weekend.

  35. Garage Crossfitter... Thanks for that article. It now gives me a better understanding on how to become an elite athlete. I guess coach had it all wrong. Hahaha. Whatever.... I was looking and waiting for the disclaimer saying that this was a joke but never found it. WTF??? Hahaha.

    ReplyDelete
  36. That is one great article. It finally lets me have the meals that both DJ and I really feel are best for the performance of all athletes. Hell it even says that I can get "High performance meals" in almost all restaurants.

    DJ give me those FitKits back and I will buy you some Chicken sandwiches from McDonalds. I will even buy the first round once we arrive in LA!

  38. No WOD today, had a firefighter combat challenge event - 1st of the year. Didn't PR, but felt really good at the end of the run, could have pushed it a lot harder. Good to know considering I hadn't done any specific training for it AT ALL! Anyway ran a 1:41...but very pleased with how easy that felt and knowing there's more in the tank.

    Poly, I'd say this training was a great help with the combat challenge. Now I need a little bit more course practice and I'll be kicking ass and taking names.

    D. subbed with a reverse-hyper. One of the lucky few with access to this. Is it an appropriate sub?

    ReplyDelete
  41. phatty, the reverse hyper is a hip ext movement, the GH raise is a knee flexion and hip ext movement combined...so if you can do some nordic raises (youtube it) as well as the reverse hypers, you'll have her made as the rev hyper is superb!

    - First time DeadLifting since knee surgery and it felt a little heavier than 335 normall would.

  52. I youtubed glute ham raise, and it seems like the hip and spine is stabilized in extension (throughout the movement) and is mostly a knee flexion exercise. Am I correct?

    A - DL didn't feel as solid as I hoped.
    B. Felt alright - 225 was tough
    C. Solid. Shoulders burned out quickly. Need to keep good form and stay tall when they start to burn.

    Like yesterday, feeling a little sluggish. Didn't get the bounce-back others seemed to. Not sure if it's mental or physical. Hoping this weekend goes better.
