First, I took a week off of doing nothing after Chicago. I did doing lots of work to prepare for the Games and it wore me out like no other, mentally and physically. I needed to take a break in all aspects. More than I thought it would, I was cashed in mentally more than anything else. I feel great now, so I'm back on my 1 a day schedule and I'm feeling great about my workouts.
Things are going well with the training. I've been doing 3x5 of heavy squats, deads, presses, power cleans, and bench every other day during the AM. Each session I'm adding 5 lbs til I fail (aka Starting Strength, StrongLifts, etc.) Then in my PM WODs, I'll always do way more weight than Rx'd. I noticed a major weakness in my CrossFit abilities this year preparing and that is strength. It's something I need to work on and always will.
Second, as of June 26th, I've started my own affiliate Badger CrossFit! This has taken up a lot of my free time from training and posting as much as I want. For me, it's either training or family, and I'm not cutting out family from my time. Please head over to my Web site and keep tabs on the progress on that blog!
That is my choppy and short update for now... I'll get back to posting my WOD results once I get things going with the gym. All my workouts will also be the gym's workouts so I'll be able to compare my times, etc. to theirs.
