Been Busy

Hello, sorry that I haven't written on the blog in a while. I've been very busy with school and all the socializing and what have you. It has been hard managing all of my hours. Sleep usually gets sacrificed, but not crossfit. :P

I'm not going to list all of the WODs that I haven't been putting up but I'll give some quick highlights.

Murph: 54:00

FGB: 235

Did a few WODs where I had to Clean or Clean and Jerk 135, which is phenomenal to me.

Muscle up PR:1!

I'm seeing huge strength gains in my major lifts. The last few cycles have yielded me new PRs pretty much everyday.

Now that I have muscle ups my goals will shift. I'll keep working Cleans until I hit body weight, I almost power cleaned 175, which is close enough to my body weight... could not quite get it. With my one muscle up I will now work until I can do 10 in a row. Those ring straps gave me some gnarly bruises on my triceps area. I will also keep working my Deadlift. It is at 275 right now, which is a big jump from a month ago. I'd like to get 300 and then eventually work towards 350.

I've done crossfit regularly for a bit over a month and am seeing definite results. I have more energy during the day, fall asleep faster at night, and don't feel that stressed considering the stress I'm under living this far from home, my family, and my lovely lady.... Oh yeah, and medical school. I plan on training hard through fall and winter, so that when I come home for the holidays everyone can see the changes. My confidence is hugely improved, I mean if I can get through WODs I can get through anything.
