Day 2 of the CFSB and much like yesterday, I am wiped! In a good way of course. I feel great! I actually got up a little early today and I figured why sit around and do nothing so I went out for a 1 mile run. The last mile run I did was on Memorial day for Murph. I was very curious to see what my time was going to be.
1 mile run
Time: 6:57
Now I know that is not a stellar time by any means. I was looking for a 6:30. At the same time, I'm surprised it wasn't worse! While doing the CFSB I really need to work in some CFE time to knock down the time.
Deadlifts 3 x 3
275, 295, 315#
I wish they had bumper plates at globo gyms. Then again I still find it funny that you're not allowed to drop the weights or make excessive noise. One day they will learn. Anyways, so I felt that I was keeping good form (weight in heels, shoulders slightly ahead of the bar, hamstrings engaged, gorilla/happy back, core tight, etc...) but on the last two lifts I could tell that I rounded my back. I need to make sure to not lose that.
Next on the list for today was more deadlifts!
Deadlifts 1 x 20
205#
I think that I could do more weight but what I am having trouble with is my grip. By the 15th rep I'm holding on to the bar for dear life. I refuse to put it down! I know in time it will improve but it had better come soon because the weight is not about to get lighter!
After that was done I needed to work on a skill. I pulled one from the pages of CrossFit SoCal and did a tabata hollow rock. Eesh it was just as painful as I remember! After that was done I did a tabata superman then headed out to the box for the WOD.
15 AMRAP
20 Double unders
10 Pull-ups
10 Squats
Rounds: 12
I'm sorry to day I actually got a rip on my palm. Not really sorry but a little surprised. Since I have started using that awesome tape job I mentioned several weeks back, I have had no additional rips. This, along with cutting callous has greatly improved the non ripping. Well this was not a callous ripping. The is the middle of my hand. The only thing I can come up with is my hands have been a little dry and that certainly would not help when you're knocking out 120 pull-ups. I didn't even feel it until I was done. Hey rips are a part of CrossFit and I'm good with that.
