Forgot to post my workout yesterday:

Back Squat 41 times working up to 185lbs-went up to 225 but felt a tweak in my back.

Front Squat 28 times 135 lbs-I love these so I added an xtra 7.

Deadlift 32 times 185lbs to work out the back and align the midline.

Today is a rest day for wts and Xfit.

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

Someone else in the Globogym here in E-ville spotted my wm up. Sweet! I was so happy to meet another Crossfitter. I am not alone.

Warmed up snatches and should have stayed at a very low wt.

135-135-135-135-*tweak* in my back. I am done.

My form sucked and I know that's what caused it. Dammit. Time to practice my form and not try to hang with the big boys just yet. Just popped a pill so I can try to make tomorrow count.

The only good news is I completed the silver award at presidentschallenge.org. On to Gold now.

Senior Chief Petty Officer Thomas J. Valentine, 37, of Ham Lake, Minnesota, died in a training accident in Arizona, on Feb. 13.

Had to sub towel pull-ups for rope climbs so I brought one from home. Of course, my towel ripped and the globo-gymers thought I ruined one of theirs. So, after continuing to tear up my towel, I decided not to disrespect Senior and practiced some more jump ropes.

RIP Senior Chief, we have the watch.

Brutal and painful. 55 min

Rest Day so I decided to practice jump roping and handstand push-ups.

I got 25 min with the rope and 20 min with the HSPU's. Notable improvement with the HSPU's but still need practice.

Rest Day- I think I pulled something in my neck doing hang squat cleans. Coach is calling for Lynne- 5 rounds of bodyweight bench press and pull ups. I think I will integrate that into my bodybuilding WOD tomorrow evening. Now I just have to decide what to do tomorrow a.m. since Coach will call for a rest day and I don't want to do a globo-gymer's cardio workout.

135-135-135-135-135-135-135

Slowly the Crossfit philosophy is spreading in Newburgh, IN. Had a guy come up to me and ask me what and why I was doing whatever it was I was doing. So I explained the site to him and he said he would check it out. I think I need a T-shirt that says, "No, I'm not deluded, just doing Crossfit."

50 Knees to elbows
50 Push press, 45 pounds

A.M. Crossfit

Modified Linda

I decided to let Linda choose my reps for me, as this is the first time I have done her.

I started at 1.5 times body wt. 300 #s. After rep 2 I didn't like the popping noise my back was doing(back injury from the Coast Guard). Reduced DL to 225 # and left the rest as RX'd. I did 4 more DLs at the reduced wt and could do no more. So I started at 6...I know. Pathetic. But I'm a noob to this stuff, and doing it only makes me stronger. To not do, means I will never satisfy Linda...

6-5-4-3-2-1

DL at 225 lb
Bench press at 200 lb
Clean at 150 lb

I followed up with a reduced wt 155lb DL set of 5 for 10 reps each. Obviously I need the practice.

I'm gonna rest (kind of) again today to try to let muscle build and heal. I will have to do 2 CF workouts on tue or wed. At least there is something to look forward to during the week...

Ouuuch. Lick my wounds day...

Family

I am sorry this is late. If nothing else in my life amounts to much, I should at least remember you guys. Three years and one week ago I served with some of the greatest people the United States has to offer this country, and even some of the best in the world. I will not forget you guys. Not ever. I think of you daily. What a great honor it was. Service above self. I work for you still, I am just on the sidelines. Less noticed, but I am here and serving with honor. I am still humbled by your commitment and there are weeks I still wish that I was closer to you.

I must admit that I can't remember all of you, but the picture you gave me and the messages you wrote are proudly displayed in the tower I work in now. You are my real family, and you are welcome in my home anytime.

Shortstuff. Mikey "two toes", Rascal, Froesus, LZ, J Dubya, Crummy, Mocha, Lost, Meatball, Chief Hall, Ray aka "Roy", Eddie Scar-burry, Stifler, Stucky, Burlew, Joe the Bulldog, Doc Louie, Cookie, Yucko the Clown, Sinner, MCPO Frank, SCPO Kevin, Schmitty, Hoosier, Miller, Susskey, XO and CO. The list goes on, I can't remember as well, but your faces are easier to remember.

I miss you guys. This beer is for all of you.

May your tail rotors and autos always give you that rush. I will keep the hangar doors open.

Fair winds and following seas. Smooth tailwinds.

Front Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps.

30 min 185 lbs. I was initially surprised at the greater amount of mid-line stabilization required to perform this exercise when compared to the back squat.

I went ahead and did yesterday's WOD:

50-40-30-20-10

Jump rope (modified due to this shitty calf injury)
Sit-ups

10 min

Am I just falling apart cause I am approaching 30? I think not. It could be worse, I could be in Iraq, right Johnny? I think a 44 y/o that can keep up with me just proves that 30 is just the beginning of my prime.

I am delaying the WOD again d/t a calf injury. I got dressed, set everything up, stretched, then realized I have been favoring my right calf for several w.o.'s. I have tomorrow off, so I will try to start again then.

Run 5k.

Okay, here's the dealyohh, Coach. How's about I hit that 5k tomorrow after tomorrow's WOD? Thanx, delay of game d/t WX.

"Randy"

75 pound Power snatch, 75 reps for time.

40 Min.

I was approached by a fellow globo-gym-er. He asked me questions about my workout. Told me a few tips on his days at doing snatches. For the most part he agreed with what I had to say about globo-gyms. Then I told him about Crossfit and how he should check out the site. He blew me off, you know, kinda how someone says, "try this" and you just nod your head and flush it as soon as you walk away. I decided to finish up with 100 sit ups and 100 back extensions. Then he approached me again and asked,"How many sets did they have you do?" I told him, "75 total". He says,"No, how many sets?" I said, to clarify, "75 total, no rests. Those rests you saw me do were cause I just started this stuff." His eyes got a bit wider and he asked me again what the site was. LOL!

Chief Petty Officer Nate Hardy was killed Sunday February 4th during combat operations in Iraq. Nate is survived by his wife, Mindi, and his infant son Parker.

I honestly think I would have better results if I went completely over to Crossfit. My ass is sore and looking at some of the guys in the gym today, what I used to be, I realize that I had it all wrong. Here is the half globo gym, half crossfit WOD:

I have lost about 5lbs of muscle mass and my weight, which usually floats around 200, is down to around 192. I have 3 weeks until OKC and training with some real Crossfit athletes. We'll see how fast I can pack on those extra pounds.
