Bear Complex

65-75-80-95-85

This one kicked my ass!!! My mind wasn't into strength training today so it was a mental battle as well as a physical one. Before the 95lb round, I went up to coach and said ' I have a problem, I'm reallly not feeling this' so he coached me through it which totally helped me out. The only shitty thing was I had to put down the bar between reps to let my body rest and I couldn't push jerk it from behind my neck for some strange reason. So after the 95 i went down to 85 which was still hard but I didn't have to break before i did my deadlift and I could get the last push jerk all the way up.

When I lowered the bar to the back of my neck from the push jerk, I discovered I had a bruise there from the situps yesterday! Man do we ever get beat up in weird places. I think CrossFit has made me aware of muscles I didn't know I had (by making them sore of course) :P I think tomorrow my neck is going to be bruised from the cleans, that'll be a nice look to go out with haha a nice conversation starter.

I worked with Chad today and man is he getting strong. It's kinda depressing. I used to be able to keep up with him! He did 110 today! He had to take breaks before the deadlift but 110 is pretty damn heavy!

Anyways, I can hear the rower singing and mom grunting away so I think I'll go see what the rest of the weirdo's are doin. Good night!! :)
