3x5 Clean at 115 lb
3 rounds of max rep strict chins-ups. Total 22

Day 7

13.4


7 minute AMRAP at 135 lb of:
3 Clean and jerk
3 Toes-to-bar
6 Clean and jerk
6 Toes-to-bar
9 Clean and jerk
9 Toes-to-bar
12 Clean and jerk
etc

Made it to the set of 9 Toes-to-bar. 135 lb is still a heavy weight rather than a moderate weight for me and my toes-to-bars seem to fall apart when I do them in combination with something else. They are coming along though! 29 reps total which was 1 short from my goal. Might have to try this again on my birthday.

Day 4

Those wall balls last week killed my legs. I took one of my coaches advice and took a couple of days off to recover. I'm not exactly a young guy anymore despite me constantly telling myself otherwise. I did do a full day of cornhole with the friends on Saturday so it isn't like I've been sitting on my butt the entire time.

3x5 Press at 80 lbs
3x5 Squat at 145 lbs
1.5 mile run

Day 1

Day 1 of the crossfit football amateur training (http://journal.crossfit.com/2012/06/cffootball-amateurprogression.tpl). My goal is to be top 35% at next years open and top 15% in my next tri/race. I'm trying to find the perfect balance between power, speed, and endurance. 3x5 Press at 75 lbs 3x5 Squat at 135 lbs 4x ~250m Run

I'm...

I'm surprised how I had the hardest time taking an ice bath yesterday. I'm down at the fact that all the training I put in several years ago has dwindled down to nothing. I'm ashamed that my wife thinks I'm not happy sometimes and sometimes I loose my cool with my kids because I'm not as mentally strong as I could be. I'm determined to be consistent, to get strong mentally and physically, and to be competitive again. I'm back!
