Welcome

a space where I will rant about: baseball, fitness training, MMA, comic books, video games, philosophy, politics, society, and general assclownery.
NOTE: I annotate all my lifting as weight x reps x sets, so 200x3x5 would be 200lbs done for three repetitions for five sets.

Something Stupid To Do While Wearing A 20lb Vest

So I took my new toys down to the NYSC today and did a WOD I've had my eye on for a while.


21-15-9
Deadlift 225#
Box Jump
Ring Dip

11:07


Wasn't that bad.

Slower cycle times on the box jumps, couldn't just pop back down and up. Ring Dips got to be fairly difficult during the second round and the last 9 were just plain hard. It's kind of funny to think that when I started crossfit a little over a year ago, I weighed 192lbs, today I weighed about 194lbs with the vest on. I suppose that's one reason my times have fallen.

I wish I had my camera on me when the WOD was over, a 225lb bar and 20lb vest lying on the floor, rings hanging from the power rack, and a plyobox sitting right next to all that. Like a little slice of crossfit squating inside a globo gym.

Toys


My birthday presents to myself just arrived. A weighted vest (10-25lbs) and a set of gymnastic rings. Expect foolishness to follow.
