TD 11

make it 2 days in a row for JD!  i was actually feeling pretty strong this morning because all we did yesterday was play basketball and swim.  a day off the weights, i felt, paid off as you'll see from the results below on the first tri-set.  so maybe i don't really need to train more, i may just have to rest more.

there was something that i found interesting posted on CrossFit Endurance today: the first edition of "whiteboard wednesdays" that discussed rest and programming.  it's a great video w/great information, so i hope you check it out:

here is what we did this morning:

if you notice on the 2nd set of bench press, i hit 3 reps at 255lbs.  that's actually a PR (personal record) for me.  weighing in at 140lbs, i'd say that's not too shabby.  i wouldn't have believed it myself, but thank goodness JD was there to film it:

despite the PR, by the end of the workout, i was having trouble with my left lat.  it was painful to do negative chinups in the superset, so  i modified it by doing negative cable rope hammer curls at 140lbs (my weight)...subsequently, we ended off by doing abs on the weighted situp machine:

all in all, HD and JD are getting stronger and it's noticeable!  they're increasing their weight, covering new strength frontiers!

i need my lat to stop acting up because HD and i plan on focusing on back and tri's tomorrow... only time will tell.  until then....
