Looking good, bro. Hopefully the back is just a 1 day thing, get that rest in.

[jed]

Can't wait till 6 months from now to see where you are. If you have those goals met that will be awesome.

[Bako Lifter]

Thanks everybody. Lots of support lately!

Weigh In - 176

Cycle 1, Deload aka boring week..

Incline Bench
165 x 10
165 x 10
165 x 10
165 x 10

Hammer Strength Press
3 sets

Hammer Strength High Row
3 sets

Notes:
Back is so sore. Not in a good way. Good thing I'm deloading, ill be camping the 8th-12th at the beach, so just running and body weight.

Spent most of my time at the gym getting a co worker lifting, gave him the starting strength routine and showed him how to do all the lifts properly. He's about 140 lbs with all lifts starting at 95< lol. Hopefully he follows through.

I think ill be able to keep pushing the inclines to 185x10, maybe 195. Then maybe ill start ramping the sets or drop to 4x8.

Hey brother... it's a "sore" back pain vs. a piercing type of back pain (possibly nerves in that case) correct?? Just trying to see if I can help, I had serious piercing pain issues that have been almost totally resolves through some therapy.

[Cards]

enjoy your camping trip, man. rest up, come back fresh and strong.

[Bako Lifter]

Jed - its extremely stiff and immobile. can't bend over to pick something up in front of me without pain. I get around fine though lifting everything and bending over as if I were deadlifting lol, deep breath, tight core, etc to avoid pain. Throughout today though its loosened up and is feeling better.

Cards - thanks bud, I'm gonna try to run the beach a lot. I wanna put in about 20 miles over the next four days. I'm gonna eat a lot though. Don't wanna come back home and see 172 or something on the scale haha.

[Bako Lifter]

Hell yes, just ordered myself a pair in red. Reebok crossfit nano 2.0.

Now I'm a real crossfitter

I was gonna get either inov-8/new balance minimalist shoes. Or a pair of oly lifting shoes, but had to go for these. They're almost impossible to find and I've seen zero people in my area with them. Pretty stoked!

[Cards]

damn, those are some sexy ass shoes. I want a pair of the vs athletic oly shoes, but i'm so damn cheap.

[Bako Lifter]

Sexy indeed.

[mrelwooddowd]

Your workouts lately are killer. I'm presuming you're doing your own CF programming and it's quality stuff. I would definitely do those workouts.

Where did you find those Nanos???? I've been looking and they're sold out everywhere. Then again, you probably have a smaller foot than I do. 10.5's are just...impossible to find. I'm probably gonna order inov-8's but can't decide between the 230's and 195's. I really need a decent platform for lifting but gotta be able to run too.

[Bako Lifter]

I know I looked everywhere. Sportchalet.com has them right now, I got size 10. I think they had 10.5.

Weigh In - 175

Cycle 1, deload

Crossfit Girl: Helen

3 rounds for time
Run x 400m
Kb Swings x 21 (54lbs)
Pull-Ups x 12

***subbed 45lb dumbell for 54lb kettlebell. heaviest I have.

12:30


Notes:
Bitch kicked my ass. Should've paced it slower on the first run. I could not string together pullups on my plastic portable door frame bar. Those took me the longest.

[Coke]

Them are some mean ass shoes, and sexy indeed, lol.

Camping getaway is well deserved man, time for some R&R.

[Beast]

Awesome shoes! Have fun camping, man. Come back refreshed!

[mrelwooddowd]

I know I looked everywhere. Sportchalet.com has them right now, I got size 10. I think they had 10.5.

Duuuuuuude! It's 5:30am and you already made my day. I didnt even know Sport Chalet existed. I've got my Nano 2.0's on order. I was ready to get the Ino-v8 195's too. Good thing I waited. Thank you!

You also have bigger feet than I would have expected at 5'8. Didn't mean to insult your foot size..lol

Good WOD. Helen is awful. I cant believe people are out there doing it in under 8 minutes. That's just stupid.

[Chubrock]

Nice effort on Helen. She's always been a favorite of mine, though I really need to get faster before I can break into the 8s.

[JohnnyRingo]

Everytime I look in this thread I want to do crossfit

[Cards]

nudes in the shoes

[JohnnyRingo]

Cards,

I drank a gallon of milk yesterday, and haven't trained for 5 days (excluding today). I lost 3 pounds. I'm almost in the 170s. 200 is poop.

[HJP]

Nice shoes bro! That back feeling better?

[Bako Lifter]

Thanks everybody!

Elwooddowd - your welcome haha

Cards - literally lmao'ed

July 9

Beach run - 1.2 mile run, then walked 1 mile, jogging when I could.

July 10

Beach run - 2.3 miles with a 6mph average

July 11

Trail run - ~1 mile out, walked back. On the way did pushups (3x25), pistols (2x10), pull ups from trees (2x10), and a couple short handstand walks.

Also been doing a little biking, not long or fast enough to count as training though.

[jed]

You know what big feet mean...

Say, where do you find most of your crossfit info? The official site or moreso from forums, books, etc?

[HJP]

Running up a storm!
