I completed 8 workouts this week. Five at my house and three at CrossFit North Fulton. I train Monday through Friday at my house and complete a second workout at the gym on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This was a busy week and I was never at my best, but got the work done.
I am beginning to reach the level where an ordinary day involves moving 10,000 pounds. Always the analyst, I calculated that 10,000 pounds per day means I am moving 1 million pounds every 20 weeks, so roughly 2.5 million pounds per year. I think I can get that to 3 million per year pretty easy and maybe to 4 million as I continue to get stronger.
I am having more fun with Original Strength resets. I am adding marching, standing cross-crawls, crawling, rolling, neck nods, rocking, and what I call Indian get-ups between traditional strength sets. I probably need to spend more time crawling for time and distance, but I like how things have been going lately.
I am repeating the dead-lift cycle I completed last week this week with a few adjustments. The plan was 15 x 1 @ 190, 15 x 1 @ 205, 12 x 1 @ 215, 8 x 1 @230, 6 x 1 @ 245. I skipped 190. I completed 15 x 1 @ 205, 15 x 1 @ 225, and 10 x 1 @ 235. I will probably lift 10 x 1 @ 245 on Monday to complete the cycle. If I only do 6 x 1 @ 245, I will have fewer occasions to practice Original Strength resets, so I just have to do at least 10 reps. (smiley face)
