090909 – 3 days into the strength cycle…
and I am noticeably sore-er than after a typically 3-day on stretch. None of it is new, just it’s all a little more than I’m accustomed to. Especially my triceps, which feel like i tried to do 100 bodyweight tricep extensions for time or something stupid like that.
Got Loo and my brother to join the USAW team – can’t wait for them to really start to make progress. Loo hurt his back a week ago jerking weight off the ground on his max clean attempt, and as of this morning, is still bothered by it. Hopefully some rest and ice will do him good, and he can jump back on w/ us next week.
So the o-cert was a blast. Meeting and working with Coach Burgener, Coach Takano, Fred Lowe, Trish, Erin, Ashley & Stephan – it was very informative watching them critique and work on other people’s form. Not that I was perfect or anything, but for the majority of the basics, I was solid. It was a certification to teach o-lift, so it was great in the sense that I got a feel for looking at gross form faults. What will continue to help is that this weekend is the Crossfit NLP developmental meet. Will probably see Bob Takano and Pat Colin-Carroll there. A lot of O-lift as of late… hopefully I can hit some new PR’s again =)
I wonder who exactly is going to be at the meet, and who I can convince to give up a chunk of their sunday to come with…
BTW!!!!! – all stats are going to be mirrored on beyondthewhiteboard.com – i’ve been given admin priveleges and will be updating the site with TCA’s WODs on an ongoing basis. As far as nutrition goes – I’m still doing paleo at 1/2 to 2/3 the carbs, subbing in 3x fat for each carb deleted. I’m still getting leaner, and my body seems to be getting used to utilizing fat as a fuel source. I am eating a LOT of fat nowadays… almonds, cashews, mac nuts, pecans, walnuts, pepitas, avocados, olives, etc… I also seem to be noticing that I’m becoming noticeably more insulin sensitive… interesting…!
