Spent yesterday pre-superbowl at the police academy with Matty instead of what Mo calls "CFC Church". Very ok, though ... Amy's "Booyah Butter" made up for every moment of pain ... and the 3 slices of the pizza Matt ordered. Yes, I must come clean that I cheated. After 3 weeks of Paleo discipline, I had my Adam & Eve moment. Trust me, I'm feeling very guilty. 40 years in a Hispanic-Catholic family inoculated me into the whole culture of guilt and embracing your inner masochist.
Anyway ...
Bench Press 5-3-1+ @ 67.5%/76.5%/85.5%
Strength work : 80-95-105(3)
Still weak. I know. Still scaled 10%. I know. I'm busting my ass and working on it. My body refuses to recover like it would 10 years ago. Rather bemusing this whole aging thing.
From Alaskan Qualifier, Coach blessed us with a Metcon of 4 rounds for time of:
- 6 CTB pull-ups (3 for women)
- 6 Ring dips (3 for women)
- 500M row (I ran instead)
- 6 Thrusters (95 or 80% of max press)
Metcon @ 18:03
I'm sure I've mentioned it before but yes, my IQ drops about 150pts and I get Turrets Syndrome when I train. Women were supposed to do 3 reps instead of 6 (see above) ... in true turtle form, I struggled through 2 rounds of doing 6 reps of everything. When I finally realized what I'd done, I scared the poor donut-eaters in the gym and then realigned. 85lb thrusters of hell and ring dips of Satan ...
Running. I kept flashing in my mind the day Coach asked if I was hurt or in pain. He told me that I could step the box jumps only if I was hurt but not to stop. I got out of my head to make the distinction and started jumping ever since. This helped me with the running. As I was rounding out the last 100m of each running round, I really wanted to walk because of the pain in my legs and lungs. But I remembered this moment and the day I spent trudging around Windy Corner ... and kept on going. The last round of the run was really, really hard.
CTB and Ring Dips weren't as tough as I thought they'd be. Maybe because I'm a little lighter still and I'm recouperating... maybe because I do one of those movements at least once a day. Full-Movement ring dips will be bandless very soon. I was too frustrated with the little band to do CTB so I got pissed and did them on my own ... a little slower, but I'm secretly thrilled.
Thrusters felt heavy and awkward. Depth got better as I fatigued and began thinking of the movement as heavy wall-balls. That seemed to help and Matt stopped barking at me to re-do them. I'm not complaining, but I have to wonder if he conferences with the CFC coaches when I'm not around. Actually, I think Matt is awesome, but an incredible handful of mischief.
